Chapter 240 Mr. Zackary and Penelope, The World Shattered!

Ralph...

Penelope had been with Zackary for so long, yet she had never called him husband. She actually called Ralph husband!

It was laughable that he believed her. The scene he had stumbled upon four years ago was Ralph forcing himself on her.

"Bang!"

Zackary's hand stiffened, and the phone in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

The balcony floor was made of light grey ceramic tiles. It had to be said, the quality of Penelope's phone was really good. Despite being dropped so heavily, it was still intact. Even more, she could still clearly hear Ralph's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Penelope, darling, what's wrong?" Upon hearing this, Ralph knew that the person answering the phone was definitely not Penelope.

He made this call just on a whim, not expecting that Lady Luck would favor him so much, and that he would so smoothly get through to Zackary.

Ralph suppressed the laughter in his heart, trying hard to put on a worried look, "Honey, why aren't you speaking? Honey, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Honey, don't scare me!"

Zackary bent down, his fingers curling tightly. It was almost as if he used all his strength to pick up the phone that had fallen on the ground.

"Honey, are you still mad at me? Honey, can you please stop being angry! I didn't intentionally let you get close to Zackary. I love you so much, the thought of you being near him makes me so jealous that I want to jump off a twenty-story building every night."

Ralph's voice sounded so gentle it was almost eerie, "Wife, my dear wife, everything I've asked you to do, it's all for our future."

"I was a man, I could tell, Zackary, although he gritted his teeth at you on the surface, he actually had you in his heart, my wife, as long as you coax him, we would have endless glory and wealth in the future."

"Wife, you can be nice to Zackary, occasionally give him a little sweetness, but wife, I beg you, can you not let him touch you? The thought of you being held by another man makes my heart ache to death. Wife, can you pity me?"

"Now, our plan was going very well, he had recognized Ethan again, waiting for him to have some accident, Ethan would inherit his huge fortune, and our family could live happily together in the future!"

"Honey, I'm sorry, I've been useless. Now, the Hunter Group is completely under my elder brother's control. I don't have much money left, I can't provide a good life for you and Ethan. This is the only way I can think of to ensure you have a worry-free life, full of wealth and honor."

"Honey, rest assured, I was good to you and Ethan. Even if Ethan wasn't my own flesh and blood, I treated him as if he were."

"Honey, could you please say something? You're completely ignoring me, and it really upsets me."

It seemed as if he had suddenly thought of something, a hint of joy in Ralph's voice, "That's right, honey, didn't you want to see the video we shot? I'll send it to your WeChat right now! Honey, when you see our video, it will be as if I'm always by your side, and you won't feel lonely."

"Honey, why won't you talk to me?" Ralph's voice sounded pitiful to the extreme. "Honey, can you just say one word to me? Honey, I will listen to you in the future, really, whatever you ask me to do, I will be at your beck and call, go through fire and water, without any hesitation!"

"Honey, I'm not just sweet-talking you, these are truly my heartfelt words! Look, you hate Lola and want to see her fall from grace. Now, I've brought her here! I'm going to film her right now, I promise, the headlines of major news outlets tomorrow will be filled with unflattering photos and videos of Lola!"

"Honey, I sent you the address. If you want to come and discipline Lola yourself, feel free to do so! However, this time I have to step in personally, just don't be jealous!"

Ralph fiercely pecked at his phone a few times before reluctantly hanging up the call.

Until the phone screen went black, Zackary still couldn't snap out of the intense heartache and shock.

He clutched the phone in his hand tightly, his handsome face clouded over, so dark that no trace of starlight could be seen anymore.

Penelope and Ralph, always kept in touch, they still affectionately called each other husband and wife!

So what was he, Zackary, the biggest joke?!

He certainly didn't believe that the note about Ralph on Penelope's phone was written under duress!

Zackary stood still, his deep eyes filled with violence, as if, in an instant, they had turned into a boundless sea of blood and hell, making him unable to see the human world anymore.

He also felt that he had fallen from the clouds into the depths of hell.

A moment ago, as he held Penelope tightly in his arms, he felt warmth and fulfillment. But now, he only felt cold.

Boundless coldness surged from the bottom of his heart, bit by bit, rapidly spreading to every limb and bone of his body. Frozen for thousands of miles, he could not break free from this boundless ice no matter what he did.

The WeChat notification sound suddenly rang out, and Zackary reflexively glanced at the phone in his hand.

Dearest husband.

On WeChat, Penelope received a video from "Beloved Husband".

Zackary knew he shouldn't have clicked on that video. If he watched it, he would feel even more embarrassed and miserable. But like he was possessed, he still swiped his phone and opened the video.

The protagonists in the video were Penelope and Ralph.

They entwined on the bed, a thin sheet covering part of their bodies, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening beneath it.

But listening to the sounds they were making, and the rhythm of their movements, it was clear that they were engaged in the most intimate act between a man and a woman.

"Penelope, tell me, am I better or is Zackary?" Ralph's voice was hoarse with urgency, and a strong desire to conquer, which made Zackary's face turn cold and desolate.

"Honey, of course you are the best! How could that fool Zackary ever compare to you!"

"Penelope, would you be angry if I didn't let you abort Zackary's child? I know, you don't want to have a child for any other man, you only want to have a child for me."

"Honey, I won't get angry! I know, everything you do, you do it for my sake! Zackary's family is so wealthy, of course I have to bear his child! I'm waiting for him to be killed by us, so that this child can inherit his billions!"

"Penelope, my wife, you are so good. Rest assured, I will always, always love you, only you."

"Honey, I love you too, only you. That fool Zackary, he's nothing to me!"

"Bang!"

The phone in Zackary's hand fell to the ground again. The video was still playing, but he just didn't have the courage to keep watching.

Kill him, let that cripple inherit his billions!

Penelope, who gave you the nerve!
