In the end, Shirley kept her emotions under control and decided to ignore Jesslyn. Turning around, she
wanted to close the door, but Jesslyn snapped at this point and yanked her waist-length ponytail
violently. “Take this!” she shouted, wanting to injure her as revenge.
Shirley felt the jolt of pain, and her head jerked backward. With a sharp glint in her eyes, she warned,
“Let go.”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“No, I won’t,” Jesslyn dered while pulling Shirley’s hair with all her might. This time, however, it
ticked Shirley off. Since she’s the one who started the fight first, I call this self-defense. In a swift move,
she twirled, grabbed Jesslyn’s wrist, and gripped tightly.
“Ouch!” This was no force that Jesslyn could take, and she shrieked in pain.
However, Shirley didn’t stop there. Even in pain, Jesslyn kicked her legs around aimlessly at Shirley,
who swept her leg under her feet, and the former fell to the floor on her chest. Then, Shirley locked
both of her arms behind her back and pushed her to the floor like a criminal.
Shirley snorted and asked, “Do you dare try this again?”
“Ouch! Let go! It hurts! Let me go now!” Jesslyn’s face was literally on the floor, and she was incredibly
disgusted by it. Not only that, she felt that her arms were about to snap. This wasn’t the kind of
humiliation she could tolerate.
Shirley applied pressure on her again, and she squealed, ‘Ouch!”
‘Do you yield?’ Shirley asked angrily.
“No!” Jesslyn shouted. Zacharias happened to return and heard her shouting. While removing his coat,
he rushed upstairs.
From the room, Tony heard the scream and dashed out as well. Seeing that his uncle was back, he
shared a look with him, and they walked briskly toward the corridor on the second floor. The next thing
they saw was Shirley close to the door, pinning Jesslyn on the floor and treating her like a criminal.
Painful and helpless, Jesslyn heard footsteps approaching and saw Zacharias when she raised her
head. As though she had seen her ray of hope, she wept loudly, “Zacharias, save me! She’s hurting
me!”
Shirley released her at this time and stood up. looking at Zacharias. This time, this man is going to be
mad at me, isn’t he?
“Zacharias!” Shirley scrambled to her feet in her sorry state and threw herself headlong into Zacharias’
embrace, hugging his waist tightly. and sobbing uncontrobly. “She beat me up and even said that she
was going to kill me. Zacharias, fire this mad woman now!” she sobbed, twisting the truth.
Furious, Shirley narrowed her eyes at Jesslyn.
“Jesslyn, are you telling the truth?” Even Tony found her ount hard to believe because it was
obvious that she was exaggerating.
Prying Jesslyn’s hands away, Zacharias set her aside and looked at her solemnly with his deep- set
eyes. “Tell the truth, Jesslyn.”
“I’m telling the truth! Both of you saw how she pushed me to the floor earlier like a criminal!” Even
Zacharias has seen it with his own eyes. There’s no reason that he won’t believe me, she thought.
Crossing her arms across her chest, Shirley listened to the way Jesslyn distorted the truth and waited
to witness how Zacharias would side with her. She had no ns to exin herself or argue because
anyone could see through Jesslyn’s horrible acting.
Seeing that Jesslyn wasn’t going to tell the truth, Zacharias shifted his gaze to Shirley. “You tell me.”
His demand merely triggered Shirley. “It is whatever she says. I’ll confess to everything.”
In his heart, Tony silently gave her a thumbs-up for standing her ground.
“Zacharias, what I said is the truth. She has violent tendencies, and you shouldn’t have someone like
that working for you. That will put you in danger!”
When Jesslyn twisted the story so out of context, Shirley nced at her as though she was a joke to
her. “Miss Kurt, carry on with the storytelling.”
“You-” Jesslyn’s eyes were spitting fire from anger. In contrast to Shirley’sposure, she seemed like
someone who had lost her mind.
As Zacharias didn’t want Jesslyn to continue embarrassing herself, he turned to Shirley helplessly. “Tell
me what happened.”
