Chapter 469
Isabe avoided Seth''s gaze and looked up at therge screen. “Nothing special. It''s
just a reminder to stay focused on my own work.”
Seth furrowed his brow slightly, knowing that he wouldn’t get much out of her.
“My grandpa has always been like this. There’s no need to take his words to heart,” he
said casually.
Isabe tugged at the corner of her mouth and took a deep breath, gazing up at the sky.
“| know.”
What Spencer said was true, and she needed to reflect on her own actions
“Do you want to stay a little longer, Seth?” Isabe asked proactively.
Seth didn’t appreciate her forced politeness. Being called “Seth” made him feel

Isabe nodded and hurried to catch

They drove back to the vicinity of the vi, passing by members of the Shaffer Family
from the main gate to the front yard.
She got out of the car in the backyard and thanked him.
He didn’t say anything, waiting for her to exit the car before ncing at the rearvie
mirror.
In the mirror, Isabe was running back to the front yard. Her slender figure made him
wonder if she would be blown away by a gust of wind.
He leaned against the car window in a daze until Jordan approached with a phone.
“Mr. Shaffer, it’s a call from your father.”
Seth frowned, took the phone, and nced at the screen. It was indeed a call from
Morgan.
He wasn’t surprised that Spencer was meddling, but he was a bit taken aback that
Morgan was calling.
“It''s me.”
When Isabe returned to the front yard, Victoria was still cleaning up at the table.
Seeing her return, she worried that Isabe hadn''t eaten dinner.
“Mom, I’ve already eaten.”
Victoria wanted to say something but stopped, continuing to clean up as she spoke.
“Be, is your boss, Mr. Shaffer, single?”
Isabe paused, immediately on guard. “Yes.”
“So he’s sessful and still single. Is he waiting to marry a wealthy girl?” Victoria asked

Isabe was surprised. She didn’t expect Victoria to think of this.
Victoria put down what she was doing, pulled her to the couch, and sat down.

Isabe felt a chill and instinctively retorted, “Of course not!”
“That’s good.” Victoria sighed in relief and earnestly advised, “Be, you don’t know.
intrigues in wealthy families are terrifying. They can even harm their own family for
money. We ordinary people should not get involved in these things, okay?”
Isabe found it strange. Listening to Victoria talk about these things, it seemed as if
she had experienced them before.
“Mom, you''re overthinking. | can’t get involved in those things.”
Victoria held her hand, suddenly looked up, and stared intently at her.
Isabe smiled. “Mom, what are you looking at?”
“I''m sorry.”
Her mother suddenly apologized, and Isabe felt a bit panicked.
“Mom, what''s wrong?”
“Today, when | saw those people, | thought of you... you...”
Victoria’s words became incoherent, and she started crying as she spoke.
Isabe felt helpless. She could only hold her and softlyfort her, her mind in
turmoil.
Victoria''s illness wasn''t improving.
She could only maintain her current
state. Even if
she settled for a mediocre life, it would be difficult to have a peaceful marriage.
