Night of Destiny

“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 glass 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 glances 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 even come 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? C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

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