Moreover, could someone like Zacharias, who sat in the office year-round, really fight?

It was not that Shirley was overly confident, but under her father’s training, she had indeed reached a certain

level of standard.

Zacharias seemed persuaded by his nephew. He stood up and unfastened the buttons of his waistcoat with his

long fingers, revealing a white shirt and a pair of black pants underneath. He emanated a refined and

gentlemanly aura.

Imogen, would you be willing to spar with me?” Zacharias walked toward the door. Shirley didn’t expect

Zacharias to actually want to spar with her. As his bodyguard, she couldn't refuse his request..

“Don’t be afraid, Pretty. My uncle can’t beat you. Go ahead!” Tony shouted from the side.

“I'm willing.” She nodded. Corinne, who was in the kitchen, overheard the conversation outside. It caught her

attention, and she felt a bit anxious. She also wanted to participate in this close combat with Zacharias.

Unfortunately, she was in the midst of preparing dinner, so she could only feel frustrated.

, The evening sun sank behind the mountains while leaving a faint afterglow that bathed the garden in a soft

yellow light. Zacharias stood under a lamp while cracking his knuckles, making a crisp sound.

Only now did Shirley feel the oppressive aura emanating from this man. She thought he was just a high-level

politician sitting in an office, but unexpectedly, he exuded a burst of strength. It seemed like he had been

disguising himself all along; at this moment, his gaze revealed a beast-like brutality beneath the cultured

exterior.

She immediately heightened her alertness. This was not an opponent who was easy to deal with. She had

underestimated this man just now, and now she had to focus her energy on handling him.

“Imogen, let's begin!” Zacharias called out to her. Since he invited her to make the first move, she didn’t hold

back. She clenched her fist and assumed an attacking stance.

As her fist moved toward the man’s face without holding back, his brows furrowed, and he skillfully blocked the

attack with his arm. The rebounding force made her realize once again that this man wasn’t a kitten but a wild

beast.

Zacharias swiftly caught Shirley's wrist, and she responded with a swift kick, which made her body perform a

stylish and agile 360-degree turn. Tony, on the side, was left in awe.

“Wow! That's so cool! Go for it!” He cheered Shirley on and hoped his uncle would show simpressive moves.

Unfortunately, all of Shirley's kicks were deftly blocked by the man. Shirley’s aggressiveness surged as she was

stimulated by this. Under the lamplight, Zacharias’ lips curved into an amused smile. It seemed like he had

angered the kitten. Shirley felt tense, and each move she struck becsharper. Despite the tension, he

skillfully parried each move without losing composure. He even seemed to deliberately go easy on her while

maintaining a sense of control.

Shirley sensed the man’s strength was still concealed to sextent, although she also didn’t unleash her full

potential. She knew this was just a friendly match, so it was better to stop at a certain point.

At that moment, due to a problem with the quality of her high heels, the sound of heels breaking echoed when

she stepped back.

She immediately stumbled backward and there was a rockery pool with a sharp stone right behind her.

“Ah! Uncle Zacharias! Watch out for the sharp stone, Tony noticed and yelled.

Due to the broken heel, Shirley lost her balance. Even if she could avoid the sharp stone, she couldn't escape the

fate of falling into the pool.

She was prepared to accept this outcome, but at that moment, her arm was caught by a large hand and a force

pulled her up. Taking advantage of this force, she pulled herself up but could not stop herself from

plunging into the man’s chest. Her entire face rebounded off his sturdy chest.

“Phew. That was close.” Tony quickly patted his chest in relief and then turned his head. Huh? How did these two

folks end up tightly embracing each other?
