Chapter 4251

Evan stated, “It’s not that I lack things to do. My grandmother advised me that my personal life should be my top priority right now, even more so than my career. As a result, she spoke to my brothers and arranged for them to take over some of my responsibilities, allowing me to focus on what truly matters.

Of course, I’m still earning money. I plan to get married, and I want to make enough to support my future wife comfortably. Raising children can be expensive as well. While I’m not financially struggling, I still aspire to earn more so my wife won’t have to work too hard and can enjoy life freely.

I intend to give my future wife two types of ‘flowers’: money for everyday expenses and money for indulgences.”

He added, “York Corporation has increased its investments in Huyoniville, so I still monitor things occasionally.”

Then, turning to Spencer, he asked, “Brother Spencer, you’re older than both Abby and me—by several years, in fact. Since you’re already in your thirties, aren’t your family elders concerned about your personal life?”

Evan was aware that Spencer and Victoria were experiencing difficulties, and he intentionally brought up the subject to irritate Spencer. After all, Spencer had provoked him first; Evan was merely returning the favor.

Abby shot Evan a disapproving look but remained silent. In truth, she also hoped Spencer would settle down to ease the pressure from his parents on her. She had no romantic feelings for him, and they hardly spent any time together.

Spencer remained quiet.

“Brother Spencer, would you like a drink?” Evan asked with a friendly smile. “I’ll join you.”

If Spencer ended up drunk, he would need Abby to take him home. Evan’s true intention was to ensure that Spencer didn’t take advantage of the situation to make a move on Abby.

Spencer’s mood quickly darkened at the mention of his personal life, and his frustration with Evan grew exponentially.

He hadn’t even won Abby over yet, but he was already acting smug.

“Alright, let’s get two bottles,” Spencer said. “I’m finished with work for the night, so a little drinking won’t hurt. I’ll sleep it off and be fine by morning.”

Lately, when Spencer returned home, he would lie awake, constantly checking his phone, waiting for a message from Victoria that never arrived. She had blocked him, severing all communication. Were they really over—just like that?

“Brother Spencer, don’t listen to Evan,” Abby chided. “You have to drive, so no drinking.”

“It’s fine. I’ll just have a couple of drinks. My secretary can take me home later.”

Abby couldn’t stop them, so she allowed them to drink. Spencer was clearly in a bad mood, eating and drinking in silence, hardly saying a word.

Abby shot Evan another glare. Why did he have to bring up something so sensitive? She hadn’t even agreed to date him yet, and he was already acting as if they were engaged.

As expected, Spencer got drunk, while Evan was only slightly buzzed. Abby had no choice but to call Spencer’s secretary to take him home.
