Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 

Seth hummed lightly, acknowledging her cunning nature and her unwillingness to 

tolerate any loss. 

Deliberately ignoring her, he waited for Isabella’s reaction. 

Isabella had been speaking casually, but now she was extremely nervous. 

The upstairs area was much larger than the downstairs, resembling more of a mini 

cocktail party than a small gathering. 

Retired individuals with significant past roles how sought an outlet for their remaining 

energy at the shooting range. They sat on the second floor, drinking and casually 

commenting on the performances at the range. 

As soon as Seth appeared, he instantly became the center of attention. 

(1/8) 

Strictly speaking, he was indeed a third-generation military man and many individuals i 

the field had witnessed his growth. 

No one was intentionally causing trouble for him, but there were numerous attempts to 

get him to drink. 

“Seth, you’re heartless. It’s been so long since you’ve come to visit us. 

Π 

“Is this your wife?” 

“Which family does she belong to?” 

A group of straightforward old men, their temperament was just like that of Spencer, 

each one more imposing than the last.. 

Isabella had no choice but to draw attention to herself. 

“Let me toast to all the heroes of our country 

2/8 

With that, she downed three shots of liquor in a row. 

As expected, the whole room was shocked, and all attention was on her. 

Seth felt a sense of relief, but Isabella was in a tough spot, downing one shot after 

another. 

Fortunately, Ariana couldn’t bear to show weakness and came up to toast, which finally 

diverted some of the attention. 

Just as Isabella was on the verge of sighing in relief, a sudden dizziness overcame her 

Her hand slid down Seth’s arm, unintentionally brushing against his 

hand. 

In a split second, she went from about to release her grip to an immediate realizatio 

that something was wrong. 

It was a sticky sensation. 

3/8 

Is this… blood? 

Her drunkenness disappeared instantly. 

When she looked up at Seth, she noticed that his face remained unchanged, and he 

was engaged in a conversation with George. 

A 

cold sweat broke out on Isabella’s back, and she subconsciously looked at the floor. 

As expected, there were two drops of blood. 

In an instant, her mind and body coordinated seamlessly. 

With a clatter, the glass in her hand fell to the ground, conveniently covering the two 

drops of blood. 

Everyone’s attention turned toward her. 

She quickly covered her hand with an embarrassed expression, saying, “I’m sorry, it

slipped from my hand.” 

Seth turned around, looking worried, “What’s wrong?” 

Isabella showed her hand, and there was, indeed, blood on her finger. “It seems that the 

glass had a chip, and I got cut.” 

“The lady is delicate. Seth, quickly take her to get it treated,” George suggested. Seth 

nodded in agreement and guided Isabella out. 

Isabella gripped his hand tightly. Upon sensing the stickiness in his palm, her heart 

almost leaped into her throat. 

Only when they exited the hall did she release a small sigh of relief. 

Upon reaching the restroom, Isabella disregarded everything else and promptly ushered 

Seth into a small cubicle in the men’s restroom.

Once the door closed, she let out a heavy sigh of relief. 

Seth leaned against the door, even managing to chuckle. “Are you genuinely this 

concerned?” 

Isabella calmed down and looked up. “Aren’t you afraid?” 

If they had been discovered just now, George would have called a doctor on the spot,
