Xander narrowed his eyes again.
Cody Shaffer was betting on Eaton’s importance to Xander.
It was said that people who had been away on missions for a long time were the most eager for their families. And because they felt too much guilt towards them, they would do anything for them.
Such was the case with Xander at this moment.
“You better make sure my grandson is okay. Otherwise, I swear I’ll rip off your head and hang it at the gate. You know, I’ll do it! At my age, it doesn’t matter to me what merit I have.”
Cody Shaffer calmed down as Xander said that.
As long as he said that, he would stop Mr. Morty from going in. And as long as Mr. Morty didn’t get in, there was still hope for the Shaffer family.
Xander did feel ridiculous about Cody Shaffer’s approach.
Did he really think that everything in the Shaffer family could be held without Mr. Morty going in?
Did he think he could still get away with it after messing with his grandson?
Xander gave him a stern look, then came to Mr. Morty’s side and said, “Mr. Morty, the Shaffer family is a meritorious family after all. It doesn’t seem good to go in and search it in public, and it’s not in line with the rules too. How about you go back first and come again another day?”
Mr. Morty frowned slightly.
Although he knew that Cody Shaffer would definitely say something to Xander to obstruct him, he never thought that Xander would really stop him.
“Mr. Don, what are you doing?”
“Mr. Morty, I’m just kindly reminding you.”
Xander’s eyes were crystal clear, suddenly causing Mr. Morty to ponder. Lucas was on the side and didn’t know what they were mumbling again, only to see Cody Shaffer seemingly being embarrassed.
“Since Mr. Don has said so, it really doesn’t seem to be too good for me to force my way in again. I’m sorry, Mr. Shaffer!”
Mr. Morty waved his hand, and his men quickly stopped.
Only then did Cody Shaffer rest assured.
“Mr. Morty, don’t let your anger get the better of you.”
Although Cody Shaffer was smiling as he said it, his words were harsh and arrogant.
Everyone knew that the Shaffers were so comfortable just because of the merits of his ancestors.
Lucas frowned, intuitively disliking this person.
However, Mr. Morty said with an unchanging expression, “I’ll take note of your good advice. Let’s go!”
With a command from Mr. Morty, his men quickly retreated.
Although Lucas was anxious, they had taken Cara away this time, so it wasn’t like they had gotten nothing.
He gave Xander a worried glance and saw him wink at him. Xander’s look of relief made him sigh with ease, but there was still some doubt in his mind.
‘What exactly was Grandpa’s relationship with Mr. Shaffer?’
Just after Mr. Morty’s people had left, Xander looked at Cody Shaffer and said, “Mr. Shaffer, where is my grandson?”

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
