Soon after, Tony came up to check on her. “Goddess, my uncle helped you apply the ointment, didn’t he?” Tony asked with a grin.

“I couldn’t have done it myself,” Shirley replied.

“Do you like Uncle Zacharias, then?” Tony pressed on.

“Sure! He’s the vice president. Who wouldn’t like him?” Shirley replied super calmly, leading Tony to glare at her. “You know exactly what kind of like I’m talking about.” However, Shirley played dumb. “I’m not very good at reading underlying messages.” Still, Tony saw through her. “I know you definitely like Uncle Zacharias.” Despite knowing that Tony was only joking, her heart still skipped a beat, as though her deepest secret had been discovered.

“Just now, I heard Uncle say he would sort the matter out. Those people are in big trouble; they might spend the rest of their lives behind bars for daring to mess with my uncle’s woman.” “Watch your words,” Shirley gave him a stern look.

Tony expressed his gratitude, “Thanks a lot, Goddess, for saving my life tonight. Without you, I might have been in big trouble.” “It’s nothing,” Shirley replied. “However! I have a feeling that we might become family in the future! You could be my aunt-in-law, hehe.” With that, Tony quickly headed toward the door, fearing retaliation, and left.

Sure enough, Shirley became exasperated, but she couldn’t do anything about him. That said, she liked Tony’s personality-a playful and cheerful younger brother-like figure.
