Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2533

“Mr. Lloyd Zacharias stepped forward and extended his hand to shake hands with Richard.

“Mr. Flintstone. Richard reciprocated the handshake. “My daughter has been quite willful. I apologize for any trouble she may have caused you.” “Not at all. Please come in and have some tea,” Zacharias replied while showing particular respect toward Richard.

Richard turned his gaze to his daughter and sighed with exasperation before entering the house. Imogen took a step forward and held onto Shirley. “Shirley, thank you.” “Don’t mention it,” Shirley replied..

Imogen then asked, “Is it my duty to protect Mr. Flintstone 24/7?” Shirley nodded. ‘Yes. Currently, I’ve been assigned to work in this residence.” Imogen’s heart leaped with joy when she heard that. So, she was taking over Shirley’s job?

Shirley felt a knot in her stomach as she was afraid to enter the hall. She held Imogen’s hand and mentally prepared herself because she was about to face her father’s scolding in front of Zacharias.

“Shirley, let’s go inside,” Imogen said to her. It was cold outside, and what was more, she was very interested in the important figure inside.

After taking a deep breath, Shirley nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s go inside.” She pushed the door open and allowed Imogen to enter first. She was like a child who had done something wrong as she obediently stood behind her father.

Although there was an age gap between her and Zacharias, his status and authority were evident, making him and Richard appear equally powerful.

“Mr. Flintstone, Shirley has caused you trouble. It’s all my fault. I’ve spoiled her all her life,” Richard said as he was filled with self-blame.

Zacharias’ gaze on Shirley held an indulgent and affectionate look as if he was treating her like his junior.

“Don’t worry about it. Miss Lloyd has been inconvenienced here for so many days, and I feel guilty about it too,” Zacharias said with a smile.

Even after receiving the call from Richard, he made every effort to keep Shirley here. However, he knew he couldn’t force her to stay. There was no reason for her to stay anymore.

If Richard wanted to take his daughter with him. he would definitely be able to.
