“Goddess, please spare my friend!” Tony pleaded for his friend with folded hands. Only then did Shirley


    retract her foot and say to Tony, “There’s no need to be friends with people like that in the future.”


    He quickly nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll listen to you.” After that, he quickly gave Derek a look. Derek


    promptly took his friends away. Soon, Derek messaged Tony. ‘What’s your friend’s background?”


    Tony replied without hesitation, “Someone you shouldn’t mess with. He said this because the person


    backing Shirley was his uncle!


    If his uncle were to find out that she was being harassed at the bar, Tony would definitely suffer a


    severe beating. However, he didn’t mention that Shirley had a background that was genuinely beyond


    these people’s reach.


    Shirley was feeling even more frustrated. Her mood, which was already bad, had been further spoiled


    by these men. She picked up a ss and a bottle, the contents of which she did not bother to identify,


    and poured herself a drink before downing it.


    To her, the taste of the alcohol didn’t matter. As long as it entered her stomach, it was fine. They say


    that alcohol could chase away sorrows, so she wanted to test its effectiveness.


    Now, not only did Derek dare not approach her again, but the men who had witnessed Shirley’s abilities


    were also keeping their gazes averted. They could only sneak nces at her if they wanted to look at


    her.

    Tony had just replied to a few messages, and when he looked up, he saw Shirley drinking again. He


    was starting to get worried. He couldn’t let her get too drunk.


    “Goddess, let’s stop drinking. You’ve had too much. You’ll get drunk.”


    “I’m here to do exactly that.” Shirley was still quite sober at the moment! It felt like these drinks weren’t


    really doing much. However, she had a much stronger willpower than most people, so the alcohol had


    not kicked in yet.


    At this moment, at the Flintstone Residence, Zacharias had just finished his work for the day. He


    rubbed his temples and checked the time on his wristwatch. It was already 10.00PM. He immediately


    thought of the girl who hadn’t evene downstairs for dinner and wondered if he should invite her out


    for a meal.


    He went to the second floor and headed straight to Shirley’s room. Then, he knocked on the door.


    There was no response from the inside.


    Zacharias’ eyebrows furrowed. Could this girl be so heartbroken over Cole that she had done


    something foolish?


    This thought made his chest ache for a few seconds. Then, he opened the door and entered. The room


    was pitch dark, with no lights turned on. He thought that maybe she was asleep.


    Zacharias walked up to the bed, but it was neatly made. There was no one lying on it. He turned on the


    light and found that the room was empty. Where was Shirley?


    He couldn’t find her anywhere. He found a set of clothes that she had taken off on the couch. He


    furrowed his eyebrows; weren’t these the same clothes she was wearing earlier?


    Why did she take them off?


    Zacharias suddenly remembered that Tony had started the car engine at around 8.00PM. Did he take


    Shirley out somewhere?


    He confirmed this thought. Then, he immediately left the room, went to his study, grabbed his phone,


    and called Tony.


    In the bar, Tony saw his phone screen light up. When he picked it up and saw the caller ID, he thought


    to himself, Uh-oh.


    It was Zacharias. Zacharias must have found out that he had taken Shirley out. He turned to Shirley


    and said, “Goddess, we should go back. My uncle is looking for us.”


    “I don’t want to go back yet.” Shirley waved her hand while feeling a sudden rush of alcohol.


    “No. We really must go back,” Tony said before reaching out to pull her. Shirley reluctantly got up and


    grabbed her coat.


    Tony didn’t dare to answer Zacharias’ call in the bar. Once they were outside the bar, he finally


    answered the call right before Zacharias hung up


    “Hello, Uncle Zacharias.”


    “Where have you taken her?” Zacharias questioned him on the other end.


    “Oh! We’re just out for a walk. She was in a bad mood, so I took her for a stroll,” Tony quickly


    exined. Afterward, he looked back but realized that Shirley had wandered off in a different direction.
