Imogen didn’t deny it and replied, ‘She was scolding you, so I couldn’t stand it and taught her a lesson. Did I cause
you trouble?”
Shirley didn’t consider this trouble, of course. Jesslyn’s arrogance was getting on her nerves as well. ‘No, she
needed to be taught a lesson.’
‘Shirley, do you have to be afraid of her with your status? I can’t stand seeing you treated like this. If I were you, I
would have put her in her place a long time ago. Imogen wrote.
Being rational, Shirley didn’t want to cause trouble during her internship, so she answered, ‘Imogen, here, I’m just
an intern bodyguard.’
Imogen responded, ‘Okay. I know you’re modest.’ Meanwhile, Jesslyn had taken refuge in Tony’s room to complain
about Shirley’s actions to Zacharias.
“What did you say? She threw a stone at you?”

while sobbing.
“Alright, I’ll take care of it,” Zacharias assured her.
“You should fire her, Zacharias. I don’t like her staying around you.”
“You should go back now. I’ll handle this matter, he calmly said, ending the call.
Soon after, Shirley’s phone rang. When she glanced at the screen, she noticed it was an incoming call from
Zacharias. She had a pretty good idea about the reason for this call. “Hello,” she answered.
“Did you throw a stone at Jesslyn?” Zacharias inquired from the other end.
Shirley had no choice but to admit it because Imogen was new and had acted on her behalf to teach Jesslyn a
lesson. “Yes,” she replied.
“What exactly happened?” he asked again.
“Nothing. It’s just that I didn’t like her,” she responded. Suddenly, a chuckle came from his side before he said,
“Alright, I won’t allow her to appear in front of you from now on.”
She was taken aback by this response, for she had expected him to be angry, but he was surprisingly protective of
her. This caught her off guard.
“Why are you not saying anything?” His gentle voice came through.
“I hit her. Aren’t you angry?” Shirley asked.
“Of course not. I know she must have provoked you first. Your reaction was justified,” Zacharias said.
His unwavering trust made her heart flutter a little. Shirley blinked and finally said, “Thank you for trusting me.”
“Alright, see you later,” he said before hanging up.
He’s coming home? Meanwhile, in Tony’s room, Jesslyn was seething with anger. She no longer had any good mood
left, and her only desire was to use this incident to force Zacharias to dismiss Shirley.
“I’ll definitely make Zacharias fire that wretched bodyguard and never hire her again,” she said, clenching her fists.
“You should drop it, Jesslyn,” Tony suggested, knowing that her wish was impossible to come true. Uncle Zacharias

“Why should I drop it? Do you think that I’m less important to Zacharias than a mere bodyguard?”
Tony thought, Yes, you are less important.
“Jesslyn, I know of a fantastic new restaurant. I’ll treat you to lunch. Let’s go.” He wanted to get her out of the
house before she made things even more awkward..
“Until Zacharias comes back, I’m not going anywhere.” She insisted on waiting for Zacharias to come back to
handle this matter.
“She’s not just any bodyguard, Jesslyn. Uncle Zacharias will just make her apologize at most after he comes back. If
you’re hoping he will fire her, that’s impossible,” he explained.
“Why is it impossible? Tell me,” she turned around and asked.
At this moment, he committed a slip of the tongue. “Because Uncle Zacharias likes…” Fortunately, he shut his
mouth just in time. Not fully understanding, she squinted her eyes and asked, “What did you say?”
“N-Nothing. I just meant to say that Uncle Zacharias really appreciates this female bodyguard, and he won’t fire
her.”
