StarNovelIn 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.”
“No, | won't,” Jesslyn declared 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, | 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! Letgo 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 tand 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 uncontrollably. “She beatup 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 account 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 pushedto 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 plans to explain 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 | 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 glanced 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's composure, she seemed like someone
who had lost her mind.
As Zacharias didn’t want Jesslyn to continue embarrassing herself, he turned to Shirley helplessly. “Tellwhat
happened.”
