Shirley thought Imogen would at least feel guilty, but she had overestimated this woman. She's clearly beyond salvation.

Shirley said calmly, “That was just your ploy to keepout of the race. You managed to makefeel a little bit guilty, but I'm glad | didn’t refuse him because of your tricks. From now on, Zacharias is mine.” Imogen’s face contorted with rage. She held the bars, snarling, “You're not worthy of him!” Shirley smiled. “Well, it's not your place to comment. You will pay for your actions.” Imogen finally realized she had to be punished for her crimes, but she sneered. “Do you think I'm just going to give up? | never give up, no matter what. As long as I'm alive, we’ll meet again, Shirley. I'll hound you like a vengeful ghost.” Imogen hated Shirley for exposing her; she hated Shirley for what she did to her.
“Do you think you're going to an ordinary prison? Still thinking of tasting freedom, eh?” Shirley added coldly, “Treason either ends with a death sentence or a lifetin prison. We'll never meet again.” Shirley was about to leave, and Imogen finally felt terror. She extended her hand, pleading, “Wait, Shirley. Can you geta reduced sentence? | don’t want to stay in prison my whole life.” Shirley left without looking back. She’d rather show mercy to anyone but Imogen.
Imogen held the steel bars, slowly sliding to the ground in despair. She closed her eyes, tears of fury and dismay streaming down her cheeks. She'd been trying to make a good life for herself, but all her efforts were ruined because of one little idea. She regretted doing this.

She wouldn't care about Imogen’s case anymore. When she returned to the suite, Zacharias stood up and approached her.
He held her hand. “We have three days of vacation before we go home. Will you spend squality twith me?” Shirley nodded. “Of course.” All she wanted to do was hold on tight to the people she loved and never let go.
“I'll pack sclothes, then. We're leaving in half an hour,” said Zacharias. He then leaned down for a kiss.
“Don’t think about anything else when you're with me.” Shirley smiled and nodded. “I won't think about anything else but you.” Zacharias ruffled her hair. She's grown a lot after this trip, and she’s more direct about her feelings for me.
Half an hour later, under the escort of Flor’s police cars, Zacharias and Shirley were led to a resort reserved for them.
Away from the bustle of the city, the roses in the resort bloomed like fairies. When Shirley got out of the car, she thought she had landed in a fairy-tale kingdom. “It’s gorgeous.” Shirley sighed. The air was filled with the scent of roses.
