Chapter 2454: A Call From Zacharias

As Shirley breathed heavily, there was a large hand around her waist, and her entire being was

pressed against

Zacharias’ chest like she was a startled bird. She immediately took a step back and said to the man

with uneven

breathing, I apologize.”

“Go back and rest,” Zacharias said to her. She had just retrieved her shoes, and now they were ruined.

It was clearly a

quality issue. She nodded and headed toward the direction of the dormitory.

Tony watched her slender figure while praising her. “She’s truly beautiful and cool. I like this. type of

lady.”

Tony turned to the man behind him and said, “Uncle Zacharias, can you introduce her to me? I want

her to be my

girlfriend.”

“You’re not worthy of her.” Zacharias directly dismissed his idea.

Tony was speechless. He felt indignant and said, “Why am I not worthy of her? I’m your nephew.

What’s lacking in me?

Uncle Zacharias, don’t tell me you’re interested in her and want to keep her for yourself!”

Zacharias turned around and stared at Tony sharply. “Shut up and stop bringing shame to the family.”

Outside the courtyard, Shirley suddenly punched the nearby stone wall.

An unprecedented sense of defeat overwhelmed her, and it was Zacharias who gave her this feeling.

Just now, she felt

her own powerlessness and the feeling of exerting all her strength but still being unable to defeat the

opponent-it was truly

disheartening.

Who exactly was Zacharias? When he wore a suit, he was the distinguished Vice President, without

the suit, he was a

formidable martial artist.

She realized she had underestimated him. If he hadn’t pulled her just now, she would have definitely

fallen

embarrassingly. How infuriating!

This left a significant impact on Shirley’s emotions. She returned to her dormitory with a mix of

frustration and begrudging

acceptance.

After taking off her outer clothing and revealing her vest, she looked at the fresh bruises on her wrist.

The man’s strength

was indeed impressive.

She exhaled deeply and silently adjusted her emotions. At that moment, her phone rang. Her eyes

widened as she looked

at it-the sender was Cole.

‘Shirley, I heard that you’re in Averna. I got. transferred here today. Here’s my contact information for

future convenience.’

Shirley joyfully covered her mouth as she was afraid that she might burst into laughter. She quickly

replied, ‘Cole, I’m in

Averna too. Which department have you been transferred to?”

‘The White House.”

Shirley became even happier, it was her great- uncle’s residence. It was great news to her as they

would have more

opportunities to meet.

‘Great! Let’s have a meal when you’re free! Shirley’s earlier frustration disappeared in an instant

because her heart was

filled with anticipation, even though she knew it would be some time before she could meet Cole.

Upon thinking that Cole was in Averna, she felt her heart brimming with vitality.

‘Sure! Let’s stay in touch, Cole replied. She looked at this message while silently thinking to herself, If

only I could meet

you every day.

However, she couldn’t tell him this, so she wrote

a simple reply. ‘Okay. Let’s stay in touch.”

After having dinner at the cafeteria, taking a shower, and getting ready to rest, her phone suddenly

rang. She picked it up

and saw an unknown number.

“Hello! Who’s this?” Shirley answered.

“Did I hurt you?” A low and magnetic voice came from the other end. Upon hearing the voice, Shirley

recognized who it

was and exclaimed, “Mr. Flintstone? You’re not asleep yet?”

“Are you injured?” he asked again. She replied casually, “It’s nothing. It’s common for me. I apologize if

I offended you, Mr.

Flintstone.”

“Tonight was just a spar. You don’t need to feel burdened. In my eyes, you’re already great.” He

comforted her in a deep

voice.

Shirley’s mind buzzed for a moment. Then, she said in a calm tone, “Thank you, Mr. Flintstone. You’ve

helped me

understand that I need to constantly improve myself.”

“Come over early tomorrow morning and accompany me outside,” the man said and then hung up the

phone
