Shirley looked at the somewhat childish reply while nestled on the couch. Who couldâve imagined that it was from the Zacharias?
Just then, the television was broadcasting the news, and Shirley turned her head to see a handsome face enlarged on the screen.
It was Zachariasâ recent updates, and the camera zoomed in so close that it seemed like there were no secrets. Nevertheless, he was impossibly good looking, and even under such close scrutiny, he remained composed, exuding a restrained aura.
Shirleyâs gaze unconsciously shifted to the screen, and it wasnât until the footage switched that she realized she had been gawking at the man for a long time.
As for the content being broadcasted on the news, she hadnât absorbed a word.
Just then, Tonyâs call came in, and she answered, âHey, Tony.â âHey, Goddess, Iâm on my way to you. I should be there in about ten minutes.â âNo need to rush. Drive safely,â Shirley advised.
âYou treat me the best, Goddess!â Tony sighed on the other end.
Shirley couldnât help but smile. Just how afraid is Tony of Zacharias?
She stood up and told her grandmother that she was leaving, and Ava immediately packed some snacks for her. âTake these back to share with your friends.â âGrandma, you donât have to. Keep them to entertain your friends.â âIâve made so much. Just take them,â Ava insisted. Shirley thought it would be good to bring some back for Tony to eat and share a bit with Imogen. Carrying the packed food, she put on her suit jacket from the hangar and went outside to wait.
She didnât want to keep Tony waiting. After about five minutes of waiting outside, she saw Tonyâs car approaching. His flashy sports car was quite eye-catching.
After she got into the front passenger seat, the two headed toward the Flintstone Residence.
Tonyâs car passed through a relatively empty street and stopped at a traffic light.
Just then, two off-road vehicles with booming music flanked them. The driver in one of the off-road vehicles noticed Shirley in the sports car and Immediately wanted to harass her.
He rolled down his car window and shouted to Shirley, âHey, beautiful!â Shirley lowered her window and gave him a cold stare. The driver, captivated, exclaimed, âWow! I like this one. Sheâs my type. Hey, letâs get to know each other, pretty girl!â Shirley ignored him, and Tony, annoyed, remarked, âThese people must be drunk. Ignore them.â At that, he hit the gas, and his sports car accelerated past the traffic light.
However, the two off-road vehicles behind suddenly accelerated, one on the left and one on the right, attempting to overtake Tonyâs car.
âF*king hell, these people have a death wish! How dare they try to overtake my car?â Tony, full of youthful vigor, became infuriated.
He accelerated, and the two vehicles on either side followed suit. Shirley immediately said to Tony, âDonât engage with them. We donât want to harm the pedestrians.â âBut theyâre being so irritating!â Tony said. Suddenly, the off-road vehicle in front made a turn, forcing him to brake abruptly. After all, he loved his sports car and didnât want it to get damaged. So, he had to stop on the side of the road, with an off-road vehicle blocking him from behind and another in front.
It was evident that these troublemakers from the underworld were deliberately looking for trouble.
Shirley took a slight deep breath and said to Tony, âStay in the car.â âHey! Goddess, what are you going to do?â Tony quickly asked and watched Shirley get out of the sports car with swag.
At the same time, eight men emerged from the off-road vehicles, all of them giving Shirley suggestive glances and lecherous smiles.
âTsk, tsk! Who is this lucky brat who gets to drive the hot chick?â Tony ultimately thought it wasnât wise for Shirley to be outside alone. However, just as he put one foot out of his car, someone booted his door, pinching him in the process.
âWhat do you want!â Tony angrily shouted while writhing in pain.
