Chapter 145 Penelope, we're not finished!

"Speak!"

Samuel continued to swallow weakly, "Boss, Miss Penelope is going to audition for the spokesperson of Throne, it seems, Ms. Hilliard will also be there."

Throne, a game that has risen in popularity in recent years, could be considered the hottest online game in Goldwald.

Before, Throne had no spokesperson, because its popularity among the people was simply too high. Even without a spokesperson, nothing could stop its great success.

Now, he was going to select female celebrities nationwide to be spokespersons. Not to mention the terrifying financial strength of the Murray Group behind Throne, the endorsement fee was definitely not low. Even if it was zero endorsement fee, or even if they had to pay, female celebrities were scrambling to be its spokesperson.

Endorsing a game with such a high popularity rating meant that nearly half of the people in Goldwald, upon turning on their phones to play games, would see various exquisite close-ups of the spokesperson dancing on their phone screens.

Even if a super unknown person endorsed this game, it would still become super popular.

Lola was indeed thriving in the entertainment industry, but due to her own limitations, her popularity among the public was never high enough.

Her goal was to become a top-tier superstar like Isabella and Chelsea, so naturally, she couldn't miss the opportunity to be the spokesperson for Throne!

Just as Samuel finished speaking, the phone on Zackary's desk began to ring urgently.

Seeing that the incoming call was from Lola, Zackary's brows slightly furrowed, but he still answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Lola's coquettish, clearly ingratiating voice came through the phone, "Zackary, this afternoon, I'm going to audition for the spokesperson of Throne, will you come with me?"

Lola was very good at calculating. She had already obtained the list of all the female stars who participated in the audition this time, and she stood out the most among them.

Her chances of winning were originally the highest. With Zackary accompanying her, once the Murray family saw that her man was the renowned young master of the Spencer family, they couldn't possibly not give her face.

But when Lola made this call to Zackary, she was truly very nervous.

After all, after that fire, he didn't even glance at her, let alone accompany her to the audition. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Unexpectedly, after a brief silence, she actually heard Zackary say, "Okay."

Lola was as if hearing the music of the spheres.

"Zackary, I just love you so much! Zackary, thank you for being willing to accompany me to the audition!" Lola passionately kissed her phone screen several times before reluctantly hanging up the call.

On Zackary's face, there was still not the slightest expression, but inside, a storm had long since been brewing.

What was the audition?

Penelope, we're not done!

Penelope didn't die.

Ethan was also still alive.

After Ethan fell off the cliff, he was saved by Xavier, the master of Cornelia and a national medical saint.

The blood-stained clothes of Ethan were those that Xavier had taken off and thrown away directly after urgently treating his wounds under the cliff at that time.

Xavier's medical skills were truly remarkable. He helped Ethan escape from the jaws of death and even personally performed surgery on him, completely curing his severe Mediterranean anemia.

"Just, Ethan was crippled," Xavier said, "Frequent surgeries, Ethan couldn't handle, we had to wait for him to recover a bit before performing another surgery on him. And even he couldn't guarantee the success of the surgery."

Xavier felt that Ethan was destined to be with him, so he took him as his last disciple, wanting him to inherit his mantle.

Ethan had fallen off a cliff and was unconscious for several days. After the surgery, he fell into a coma again for a while.

After he woke up, he missed Penelope and asked Xavier to go check on her, to tell her that he was still alive.

Coincidentally, that day, when Xavier arrived at the small apartment of Horse House with the address Ethan had given him, he found that Penelope's apartment was surprisingly on fire.

Although he was nearly seventy, his martial arts skills were highly advanced and he paid great attention to health preservation. His body was in better condition than many younger men.

Rescuing Penelope, of course, was not difficult.

When he rescued Penelope, she was already in a deep coma. If he had been a few minutes later, even with his advanced medical skills, he wouldn't have been able to save her life.

When he was saving Penelope at that time, he saw a woman in her apartment's living room.

That woman, the arsonist, had already left. However, due to her greed, she wanted to return and take some valuable items amidst the chaos. Unexpectedly, while she was rummaging through things, she was knocked down by a chandelier that fell in the living room. Coupled with the spreading fire, she couldn't move at all.

When Xavier saw her, her clothes had already been set on fire. He was compassionate, but also knew his limits.

If he still wanted to save this woman, he probably had to stay in this increasingly raging sea of fire.

He chose to leave with Penelope.

Penelope's illness was too severe, even Xavier, who was hailed as the living god, could not cure her.

He could only find ways to prolong her life.

After a month of treatment, Penelope's condition had improved significantly.

Xavier said, as long as she took care of her health, avoided intense emotional fluctuations, refrained from smoking and drinking, and avoided spicy food, he could guarantee her a year of life.

In a year, Penelope had already been very content.

In the past, she had always hated herself for her dying body, unable to make Lola and others pay the price, to repay blood with blood. Now, she had time, and she would naturally make them pay the price they deserved!

Once, she was trampled underfoot by Lola and her group. This time, upon her return, these people would be nothing more than ants to her!

Before, she directly splashed sulfuric acid on Lola and stabbed her, truly the lowest form of revenge.

Killing a person was merely a drop in the bucket, it was the execution of one's heart that was truly exhilarating.

This time she came back, only to break hearts!

Everything that Lola valued and cared about, her Penelope, was slowly being destroyed, turning her into a real pariah, despised and attacked by everyone, left with nothing!

That set of photos was taken by a photography enthusiast for her, and the effect of the photos greatly exceeded her expectations.

Receiving the audition invitation to be the spokesperson for Throne greatly surprised her.

At that time, she was at most a minor internet celebrity. Those heavyweight endorsements, which even big stars would fight tooth and nail for just an audition opportunity, she never thought that she, a minor internet celebrity, would be invited.

When she came over, she heard a few staff members saying that Lola would also be coming for an audition today, and basically, she was pretty much confirmed.

Upon hearing the name Lola, a sarcastic smirk involuntarily curled up at the corner of Penelope's lips.

Oh, Lola!

Previously, Lola had taken the spokesperson role for asking about love from her by means that were not above board. This time, she was determined to make Lola's efforts as futile as carrying water in a bamboo basket!

"Lola, you wanted me to leave Penelope with nothing. Well, I'd like to see who it is that falls from the clouds to the valley, and ends up being stepped on by others!"

Lola, let's see how it goes!

Having finished reading the performance script distributed by the staff, Penelope was about to go to the dressing room to try on the costume for the upcoming performance when she saw Lola and Zackary approaching.

Lola protectively clung to Zackary's arm, looking like a delicate bird relying on a person, the picture of a blissful little woman.

Penelope was too lazy to watch them show off their love. However, as she passed by them, Zackary suddenly grabbed her wrist.
