NovelEnglishTony realized that things were getting serious now. Shirley was drunk to the point where she couldn't distinguish
her directions.
“Uncle Zacharias, I'm hanging up now. We're on our way back,” Tony said and quickly hung up Zacharias’ call.
He reached out to grab Shirley and said, “Goddess, my car is here.” She was supporting her forehead when she
noticed that her steps had becunsteady, like she was walking on clouds. One moment, it was going in deep;
the next, it wasn’t.
“My head is spinning, Shirley said. “Of course, you're dizzy. You drank a lot, you're definitely drunk. Get in the
car,” he said and helped her into the vehicle. On the other hand, Tony had only drunk half at glass of alcohol and
was still sober.
At the Flintstone Residence, Zacharias sat on the couch, his face dark. He was waiting for those two people who
didn’t even bother to inform him before leaving. He was quite angry as they had gone out without informing him.
Tony drove his car toward the Flintstone Residence. After passing through several security checkpoints, it finally
drove inside the Flintstone Residence. He noticed that Shirley's eyes were closed and wondered if she had fallen

“Goddess, we're here,” he called out to her. At that moment, Zacharias, who was in the hall, heard the sound of
the car and recognized it was Tony's car. He got up and walked out.
As soon as Tony got out of the car, he saw Zacharias standing at the door. His heart skipped a beat, and he
chuckled nervously. “Uncle Zacharias, you're not asleep yet!”
He quickly went to the front passenger seat and saw Shirley sleeping inside. He whispered, “Goddess, wake up.
Please wake up!”
He thought he could just take her to her room quietly, but now that Zacharias was here, he really hoped that she
would cooperate and not let Zacharias find out about their trip to the bar.
Zacharias was waiting for the woman sitting in the front passenger seat to get out of the car but noticed that she
hadn’t moved after waiting for a while. So, he walked over.
Tony's heart was racing, and at this moment, Zacharias appeared next to him. Zacharias. caught a faint smell of
alcohol in the air at once and noticed Shirley's attire. In an instant, he fixed a sharp gaze on his nephew.
“Where have you two been?’ he asked sternly. Tony couldn’t hide it any longer and stuttered, “We... Uh... we
went to a bar! Goddess said she was feeling down and wanted to have a drink to cheer up.”
The moment Zacharias heard the word ‘bar, his anger flared up. He couldn't believe his nephew had led Shirley
astray.
“Get inside. I'll settle the score with you in a bit,” Zacharias said angrily. Tony was trembling with fear, and he
ran into the house.
Zacharias bent down to look at the girl in the car, who was drunk and had fallen asleep. He reached out to pat
her cheek gently. “Shirley, wake up.”
Shirley pushed his hand away and mumbled, “Don’t disturb me.”

Zacharias undid her seatbelt and used his uninjured hand to help her out of the car. Shirley's steps were
unsteady, and she couldn't stand on her own. Her entire body leaned. against the man’s sturdy chest, and she
finally opened her intoxicated eyes while gazing at him before blinking a few times. “Zacharias... Why is it you?”
“Let's go to your room,” Zacharias said through gritted teeth as he tried to hold back his anger. He was indeed
furious, but there was no point in losing his temper with someone drunk. Shirley nodded obediently. “Okay. | can
go by myself.”
After saying this, she seemed like she was about to fall forward as she took a step. Zacharias immediately
reached out to support her shoulder and furrowed his brow while saying, “Lethelp you.”
She could only nod and allow him to assist her into the living room. Upon seeing the situation, Tony hurriedly
said, “Uncle Zacharias, I'll take her upstairs! Your hand is still injured!”
“Go to your room,” Zacharias ordered before adding a warning, “If you dare do this again, I'll break your leg.”
Tony felt a bit aggrieved. Shirley had asked him to accompany her. What else could he do?
Zacharias helped Shirley upstairs. She hadn't expected the after-effects of the alcohol to hit her so strongly. The
rational control she had just maintained had vanished without a trace.
