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 balance, 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 withthat night?” When he thought about it,
he beca little mad.
“I don’t remember anything about that night.” Shirley denied his word, although ssnippets were crystal
clear in her mind.

“Should | help you to recover your memory?” Smirking, he stared at her cherry lips.
“No-" Need for that. Her last 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 excellent
combat 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 glared at him in anger. “You shouldn't
act recklessly.”
Taking a step back, he felt his lips with the tips of his slender fingers. Accompanied by the smirk on the edge of
his lips, he was exuding the air of a jerk-alluring and dangerous at the stime.
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 platter
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

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 | was worried you wouldn't
believe me.”
“Is she good enough for him?” Still, Jesslyn was doubtful of Shirley's identity.
“Why wouldn't she? They're a perfect match for each other, and | must admit that Uncle Zacharias has
impeccable taste,” Tony complimented.
Suddenly, Shirley's face collapsed into her hands, and she started sobbing woefully. “What about me, then? |
love Zacharias so much. What am | 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 be compared to Shirley’s family
background. All she could do was envy her and hate herself for not having a background like hers.
