PART : 3
Shirley's eyes widened, finding who was approaching her now. Suddenly, he quickly pushed Justin, who was still on top of him, out of the way. After that, she immediately got out of bed with a worried look.
"Papa," she said approaching a middle-aged man.
"What are you doing?!" asked the middle-aged man with a face full of emotion. How could he not be emotional, finding his daughter acting like that in front of his own eyes? It's better if you only get information from other people than see it directly.
"I didn't do anything, Dad," answered Shirley. "He's the one causing problems for me," she added, pointing at Justin who was still sitting on the edge of the bed with a relaxed expression, as if nothing was wrong.
Emil, Shirley's father, stared sharply at Justin. Slowly step closer. But suddenly his forehead furrowed as he thought about something when he found out who was facing him now.
"You're Justin, right?"
"That's right," Justin answered simply.
It felt like he wanted to express his emotions towards Justin when he remembered what had just happened. But all those feelings seemed to stop when he remembered who Justin really was.
"Is there a problem?" Justin asked Emil back.
"What did you do to my daughter?!"
Justin got up from his seat, then stood in front of Emil. "I didn't do anything and this isn't my fault. Ask your daughter, why did this all happen?"
"It's true that you are blaming Justin for this problem. It's clear that this girl was teasing him. You are really causing problems in my family!"
Alice appears again, because she still doesn't accept that Justin is dealing with Shirley. Moreover, the guy actually chose her. So, what will happen next?
"Shut up! This is none of your business!" Justin snapped at Alice.
Alice was indeed afraid of Justin, but for this matter she didn't want to take the worst risk. "Justin, I have the right to intervene in this matter, because I..."
Alice's words stopped suddenly when the sharp gaze fell on her. Like a storm that stopped his steps suddenly.
"Justin, don't yell at Alice like that again. Remember, she is..."
"Everyone be quiet, please get out of my room!!"
Okay...everything was quiet when Justin made his voice. In fact, his parents were left speechless. It's nothing, it's just that they know what Justin's character is like and the more they fight and deny it, the more it will get worse. He won't even look at the status when he's emotional.
"Shirley, explain to Papa what really happened?! And don't tell me that you made the biggest mistake!"
She was sure that she would end up being angry with his father. This wasn't just the ban on dating that she violated, but it was even worse. She doesn't want to be kicked out of the house just because of this obscurity.
"Hanna!" Emil snapped when Shirley remained petrified.
"I didn't do anything, Dad. Really," she confirmed. But I don't know, he also doesn't know what happened.
"What are you saying!? You want to make your parents and your family's name bad in everyone's eyes. Is that so?"
"Dad... last night I was drunk and went into the wrong room. But I made sure it was between me and him," she pointed at Justin, who was still silent without worry. "Nothing happened. I'm sure of that."
Hearing Shirley's explanation, he was going to slapped the girl. But stopped by Justin.
"Don't do that to Shirley," commented Justin.
If Shirley was wrong, maybe she would have let the slap land on the girl's cheek, but here she only made a small mistake. Just entered the wrong room. And he also didn't do anything to Shirley, and vice versa. It's just that when everyone appeared, the two of them were having an intimate scene. That's what triggered it.
Can you imagine how disgusted Alice looked when she saw Justin's good attitude towards Shirley? Even as the closest woman in Justin's life, she was never treated that well.
"I know this is wrong, but don't do that to her. Besides, I didn't do anything to Shirley either. And I can confirm that." Justin reassured Emil.
Emil looked curtly at Justin. "Finding his daughter in the same room with a man, even doing a scene..." He couldn't say the words. "Do you think that as a parent, I don't feel worried? She's a girl, still in high school... even if she doesn't do anything, she still looks bad!" Emil explained.
Shirley started crying. "But really, Dad... I didn't do anything." She did not expect that this problem would have such a bad impact. If she had known this, it would have been better not to have called his father.
"Shut up! Your statement doesn't affect Papa's assessment of you, Shirley!"
"I told you, don't yell at him again!" This time, Justin felt that he didn't want Shirley to be scolded, even by her parents.
Emil pulled Shirley's arm roughly from Justin's grip, then looked coldly at the boy. "I know that you have a big influence in business, but for personal matters, it's different!"
After expressing his hurt, Emil took Shirley from there by force. He even grabbed his daughter's hand, showing his anger.
"It hurts, Daddy," she sobbed as his papa's grip felt painful on her arm.
After Emil and Shirley left there, Alice approached Justin who was still standing quietly in his position.
"You see now, right? Even his father looks at her badly. Meanwhile, you seem to keep defending her without thinking about my feelings." She touched Justin's face gently, but her attitude retorted rudeness by Justin who jerked her hand away.
Justin was still silent. His mind seemed to focus on Shirley.
"What happened to you? What has she done to you to make you forget yourself? It's only been a few hours and you've already been influenced by that high school girl!"
At first, he didn't pay attention to Alice's chatter, but the more he let it go, it seemed as if this woman's mouth had no intention of keeping quiet.
Staring at his parents. "Mom, Dad... please take her away from here before I do something bad to her!"
"Justin!" The shouting came from Alice's father.
"Now!" His red eyes stared intently at the middle-aged man who seemed unwilling to treat Alice badly.
Yes, his shout made his parents and Alice's parents immediately leave there. Including Alice, who still doesn't accept Justin's treatment of her.

Emil dragged Shirley into the room on the second floor. Several times the girl fell under Emil's pull, but without pity he pulled the girl back up to her feet.
Betty, who was in the room at that time, immediately rushed to follow her child and husband's steps towards the top floor. Moreover, Shirley's cries could be heard clearly, making her curiosity even more intense.
"What is this? Why you treat Shirley like that?" Betty asked, looking annoyed at her husband.
"Ask your daughter what she has done," said Emil pointing to the girl who was now sitting on the floor of the room crying.
Betty approached Shirley. "What's wrong, Shirley? Tell Mama."
"Mom, I..."
"The only daughter in this house, did something stupid that destroyed her life. Even our family will be destroyed because of her behavior!"
"What?" Betty was increasingly confused.
"She was in the same room with a man. And do you know what I found when I entered? They were actually having a scene..." He massaged his temples. His head felt like it was going to explode remembering that incident. Hoping that the sight would disappear from his memory.
Betty now looked at Shirley. "Is that true, Shirley?" she asked as if she couldn't believe it. I even hope this isn't true.
Shirley's crying became more intense. "No, Mom... I didn't do anything. I just went into the wrong room and..."
"So, do you think what Papa found when he came in was a lie? Is that so?"
Betty was really shocked by this incident. Hoping that Shirley will be a good girl, it actually creates big problems. She didn't see it directly, but hearing her husband say that, of course she believed it.
"And just so you know, the man with her is Justin," added Emil revealingly.
"What?!" Betty was shocked.
It's nothing, it's just that Justin is not just anyone in the business sector. For this reason, all businessmen know him... if they have a problem with him, they will definitely lose badly. But now Shirley is actually creating this problem with Justin.
"Does everyone know about this incident?" Betty asked Emil.
"His family was there when it happened."
"Gosh, Shirley! Honestly, Mama is disappointed in you! Because of this problem, you have caused our family problems with the wrong people. Everything is ruined!"
So annoyed, Betty cursed Shirley to the point of cursing. She seemed to forget that the girl who was still crying was her daughter.
"But I didn't do anything with him, Mom. Even now, I'm sure that I'm still a virgin," Shirley confirmed.
"Even though that's the reality, not everyone can think positively! How can there be a good girl in the same room with a guy! Think, Shirley... think!"
Emil took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions from getting worse.
"From now on, you can't leave your room! There will be no more shopping, walking around, let alone school! Staying in your room is the punishment you have to undergo, Shirley!"
Betty stepped out of there followed by Emil. Not only that, from outside the two of them even locked the bedroom door.
What else is she doing now if not crying. Yes, crying over the stupidity she had done. Regrets contacting her papa. But, the problem actually gets bigger.
Now, especially if you don't just stay in your room like a criminal who is in prison because she has committed a crime. Spending days full of boredom until death. She will die silly in this room.
