Chapter 201 Mr. Murray Brutally Abused Lola

"My sister cruelly killed the child in my womb!"

Lola thought that after she had painted Penelope in such a vile light, Everett would despise Penelope. Unexpectedly, the look in his eyes when he looked at Penelope was still full of tenderness.

However, when he looked at her, his mockery and contempt only increased.

"What, a mistress, wanting to have a child for someone else's husband?!"

Everett curled his lips in mockery, his handsome face, full of pride and cold arrogance, seemed more unattainable than ever. "Lola, don't say that the person who killed your unborn child was necessarily Penelope. Even if it was, you deserved it!"

"Mr. Murray, you..." Lola's face was as pale as paper. She was so angry that she wanted to curse Everett rudely, but thinking of his cruel and ruthless methods, she dared not.

She could only put on a pitiful look as she spoke to Everett, "Mr. Murray, you've really misunderstood me. I'm not the other woman, Zackary and I are truly in love, it's my sister..."

"Huh!" Everett laughed coldly, "Lola, truly in love with a married man? I really don't know whether to call you stupid, or thick-skinned as the earth!"

"Pfft..." Mr. Dawson, the senior assistant, laughed ungraciously. Well, the boss was usually noble and aloof, sparing with words, but when he started to be sarcastic, he could really kill it.

"Lola really shattered my worldview! Mr. Zackary was married at the time, and she could still talk about true love, that's unbeatable!"

"I thought Lola was so noble, turns out she started as a mistress! And she pretends to be pure and innocent! Shameless!"

"Yeah, poor Ms. Sullivan, a perfectly good marriage ruined by a green tea bitch!"

"I actually thought Ms. Sullivan was a lucky one, didn't you see how devoted Mr. Murray is to her now! I really envy Ms. Sullivan, both her new and old lovers are people we can't afford to reach!"

***

Mistress, Green Tea Bitch...

Listening to the surrounding people's discussions, Lola, who had a face thicker than the earth, turned her small face directly into the color of a pig's liver.

Before she had a chance to say something to redeem herself, Everett's voice, cold as if it came from a freezing ice cellar, echoed again.

"I heard Dylan say that Zackary was dead drunk that night, Lola, I'm a bit curious, how did a man so drunk manage to get you pregnant!"

After saying this, Everett didn't waste another word with Lola. He dominantly grabbed Penelope's wrist and headed towards the shooting area.

"Penelope, don't forget, you invited me to dinner tonight!"

Everett had too much on his plate to handle, and it was impossible for him to stay with Penelope for the shoot all the time. After briefly instructing Weston, he returned to the company.

After filming that promotional clip, Penelope's workload was still heavy. She had to take several sets of costume photos for the role of Josephine.

Her hair, makeup, and each outfit had to match. She obediently went to the dressing room, letting the stylist fuss over her head, completely ignoring Lola and Zackary without any leisure or interest.

Penelope and Everett had left, but Lola was still reeling from the extreme embarrassment.

Seeing Zackary coldly shake off her hand that was gripping his sleeve, and stride towards the outside of the photo studio, she hurriedly lifted her feet, pitifully chasing after him.

"Zackary, please, don't listen to Mr. Murray's nonsense, okay? In my life, I've only been with you. How could the child in my belly possibly belong to someone else? Zack, can you please believe me?"

Whose child Lola was carrying, Zackary really didn't care. However, thinking about the scar on her body, he knew he should trust her.

He spoke absent-mindedly, "Lola, I believe in you."

"Zackary, what Mr. Murray just said... it really upset me. He... he said, he said I was the other woman. Zackary, do you also think that I was the other woman between you and your sister?"

Zackary didn't speak immediately, because he didn't know either. He was unsure whether the terrible, childish acts of revenge he had previously carried out against Penelope were right or wrong.

Lola noticed Zackary zoning out again, she knew, he must have been thinking about Penelope again.

Her little face instantly twisted into a hateful grimace.

Just as she was about to step forward and seek some presence in front of him, her cell phone cheerfully rang.

After hanging up the phone, Lola was instantly overjoyed. But she had this knack, no matter how dirty her heart was, she could still put on the most innocent and pitiful look on her face.

"Zackary, find out who framed me with that video!" Lola looked at Zackary, on the verge of tears. She looked as if the whole world had hurt her.

Zackary was still daydreaming, he blurted out subconsciously, "Who?"

"It was the older sister..."

Lola's tears, no longer able to be held back, sprang forth like golden beans, jostling to be the first to fall. "Ruby said she called several friendly media outlets, and they all said it was my sister who sent them the video!"

"Zackary, what on earth did I do wrong for my sister to harm me like this?! If it weren't for the scar I got from selling my kidney years ago, that video would have completely ruined me!"

"She was my sister! I called her sister for over twenty years, why did she have to ruin me! Zackary, I'm really upset about how my sister treated me!"

Zackary's expression froze, he really hadn't expected that the person who hurt Lola would be Penelope.

But he wouldn't sentence Penelope to death based solely on Lola's word either.

He picked up his phone, called Samuel, and asked him to find out who exactly had tampered with it.

The original IP address from which that video was uploaded was the IP address of the computer in Penelope's small apartment!

Indeed, the person who attempted to ruin Lola with such lowly tactics was Penelope!

But he found that, even though Penelope had done such outrageous things to Lola, he couldn't bear to expose her misdeeds. In fact, he even called Samuel, ordering him not to let anyone target the originator of that video!

Zackary didn't allow others to criticize Penelope, but given the malicious things she had done, he always had to teach her a lesson.

Or rather, he was just looking for an excuse to see Penelope.

Having dealt with the matters at hand, Zackary grabbed his car keys and headed straight for Penelope's small apartment.

He had been ringing the doorbell for quite a while, but no one came out to open the door for him.

It was then that he remembered, Penelope and Everett had arranged to have a candlelight dinner together tonight!

The last bit of warmth on Zackary's face was instantly replaced by a cold indifference, as if frozen by ice.

Ha! Had dinner together?!

He wanted to see how she could have a romantic dinner with another man behind his back!
