In quick steps, Jesslyn ran upstairs. At the top of the staircase, she couldn’t stop herself from looking in


    the direction of Shirley, only to see that she was still standing there with Zacharias. Filled with


    disgruntlement, she wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation and heard Zacharias’ voice. “I


    apologize to you on Jesslyn’s behalf.”


    “You don’t have to.” Shirley shook her head and spun on her heels.


    However, Zacharias grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Losing her bnce, Shirley fell back and


    landed right into his arms.


    “Behave yourself, Zacharias,” she said in annoyance.


    “You’re the one who didn’t behave yourself first.”


    “I didn’t-”


    “Didn’t you? Can you swear that you didn’t act inappropriately with me that night?” When he thought


    about it, he became a little mad.


    “I don’t remember anything about that night.” Shirley denied his word, although some snippets were


    crystal clear in her mind.


    “Should I help you to recover your memory?” Smirking, he stared at her cherry lips.


    “No-” Need for that. Herst few words were sealed by the man’s lips. She wanted to push him away,


    but he stopped her and held her hands above her head, pinning them against the wall next to them.


    With his tall and well-built body pressed against her, she couldn’t seem to fight him off, even with her


    excellentbat skills.


    This scene stunned Jesslyn, who was in the foyer, and she covered her mouth with her hands because


    she was scared to make a sound out of shock. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt stuffy in her


    chest and breathless.


    In her heart, Zacharias was as honorable as a god, but he actually initiated a kiss with this female


    bodyguard. In addition, she could tell that the female bodyguard was highly unwilling.


    In her mind, she didn’t remember Zacharias ever being this flirtatious with any woman. He had always


    been a person of abstinence, and it seemed like no woman was deserving of his initiative and worth.


    But now, this woman had appeared, and she was by his side.


    Biting her lip, Jesslyn fought back the sadness in her chest and left the scene unnoticed.


    The next second, Shirley shoved aside the man on her. Breathlessly, she red at him in anger. “You


    shouldn’t act recklessly.”


    Taking a step back, he felt his lips with the tips of his slender fingers. Apanied by the smirk on the


    edge of his lips, he was exuding the air of a jerk-alluring and dangerous at the same time.


    When Shirley raised her head, she had a feeling that she was targeted by a ferocious beast.


    Then, his phone started ringing, and after checking it for a split second, he paced to the French


    windows and answered the call while Shirley hurriedly slipped downstairs.


    Holding her cell phone and going downstairs, Jesslyn caught sight of Shirley standing at the door and


    was overwhelmed with jealousy. If Zacharias courts this woman, she will be the future Mrs. Vice


    President. What a noble status that is, one that countless women can only dream of! And now, this


    status is lying on a silver tter right in front of this woman. Once she gives the nod, Zacharias will


    definitely marry her.


    Grabbing her purse, she paced to the door with Tony, and Shirley pushed the door open for them.


    “Thank you, my goddess, Tony hurriedly thanked.


    Meanwhile, Jesslyn kept her head lowered as she walked past Shirley. Because she had just cried, she


    didn’t want her to notice that her eyes were swollen.


    In the car, Tony realized she had just cried and gasped in surprise, asking, “Jesslyn, what’s wrong?”


    “Tony, is Zacharias in love with that female bodyguard?” she asked.


    Since she already knew this, he nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been waiting to tell you this, but I was worried you


    wouldn’t believe me.”


    “Is she good enough for him?” Still, Jesslyn was doubtful of Shirley’s identity.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Why wouldn’t she? They’re a perfect match for each other, and I must admit that Uncle Zacharias has


    impable taste,” Tonyplimented.


    Suddenly, Shirley’s face copsed into her hands, and she started sobbing woefully. “What about me,


    then? I love Zacharias so much. What am I going to do after this?”


    Tony felt sorry for her and consoled her while driving away, “Jesslyn, don’t be so upset! Not anyone can


    handle a man like Uncle Zacharias.”


    Even though unwilling, Jesslyn had to resign to fate because she could never bepared to Shirley’s


    family background. All she could do was envy her and hate herself for not having a background like


    hers.
