Chapter 2545
Night of Destiny
In 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. âTake this!â 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,
âLet go.â âNo, I wonât,â Jesslyn declared while pulling Shirleyâs hair with all her might. This time,
however, it ticked Shirley off. Since sheâs the one who started the fight first, I call this self-defense. In a
swift move, she twirled, grabbed Jesslynâs wrist, and gripped tightly.
âOuch!â This was no force that Jesslyn could take, and she shrieked in pain.
However, Shirley didnât 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, âDo you dare try this again?â âOuch! Let go! It hurts! Let me go now!â
Jesslynâs 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 wasnât the kind of humiliation she could tolerate.
Shirley applied pressure on her again, and she squealed, âOuch!â âDo you yield?â Shirley asked angrily.
âNo!â 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, âZacharias, save me! Sheâs hurting
me!â Shirley released her at this time and stood up. looking at Zacharias. This time, this man is going to
be mad at me, isnât he?
âZacharias!â Shirley scrambled to her feet in her sorry state and threw herself headlong into Zachariasâ
embrace, hugging his waist tightly. and sobbing uncontrollably. âShe beat me up and even said that she
was going to kill me.
Zacharias, fire this mad woman now!â she sobbed, twisting the truth.
Furious, Shirley narrowed her eyes at Jesslyn.
âJesslyn, are you telling the truth?â Even Tony found her account hard to believe because it was
obvious that she was exaggerating.
Prying Jesslynâs hands away, Zacharias set her aside and looked at her solemnly with his deep- set
eyes. âTell the truth, Jesslyn.â âIâm telling the truth! Both of you saw how she pushed me to the floor
earlier like a criminal!â Even Zacharias has seen it with his own eyes. Thereâs no reason that he wonât
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 Jesslynâs horrible acting.
Seeing that Jesslyn wasnât going to tell the truth, Zacharias shifted his gaze to Shirley. âYou tell me.â
His demand merely triggered Shirley. âIt is whatever she says. Iâll confess to everything.â In his heart,
Tony silently gave her a thumbs-up for standing her ground.
âZacharias, what I said is the truth. She has violent tendencies, and you shouldnât have someone like
that working for you. That will put you in danger!â When Jesslyn twisted the story so out of context,
Shirley glanced at her as though she was a joke to her. âMiss Kurt, carry on with the storytelling.â âYou-â
Jesslynâs eyes were spitting fire from anger. In contrast to Shirleyâs composure, she seemed like
someone who had lost her mind.
As Zacharias didnât want Jesslyn to continue embarrassing herself, he turned to Shirley helplessly. âTell
me what happened.â
