Chapter 261 Penelope Set a Trap for Lola!

He seemed to have heard her speak.

"Mr. Spencer, sometimes I find you quite amusing! You always believe in others' lies without hesitation, yet you don't believe a word of the truth I tell you."

"Perhaps, once I was dead, you would believe me."

Dead?!

Did she still want to die?!

This venomous, vain woman couldn't die!

She still couldn't bear to just let this big fish slip away, was she trying to play the victim to reel him in, wasn't she?!

She was dreaming!

Zackary abruptly turned his face, his eyes colder than ever before, "Penelope, I truly don't trust you! The things you've done, they don't deserve my trust at all!"

"Even if you were dead, I would still believe that you were flirtatious, ruthless, deceived me, betrayed me, hurt me, and repeatedly harmed Lola in the most cruel ways! Penelope, you don't have to keep playing the victim in front of me, I don't believe a word you say!"

After saying these words, Zackary had no more lingering affection. The elevator doors in front of him opened wide, he stepped in, and the elevator doors slowly closed. It seemed that he and Penelope were completely isolated in two different worlds.

Back then, he spoke resolutely, he didn't believe her, he said she was a malicious woman.

Later, he believed her, he was willing to give his whole heart to her, but he could only watch helplessly as her condition deteriorated at the fastest speed, irreversibly.

It seemed, there was no way to turn back the clock.

However, all of that was hindsight.

Perhaps she had heard too many heartless words in the past. Listening to what Zackary was saying, there was surprisingly no great upheaval in Penelope's heart.

The only regret was that she still couldn't get the keys to the small apartment back, so she had to go through the trouble of changing the locks.

Penelope forcefully shut the door of the small apartment, quickly returned to her room, and found the pills Xavier had prepared for her. She didn't even bother to drink water, she just chewed and swallowed them.

After swallowing the pill, Penelope's stomach finally felt less uncomfortable, and the sweet metallic taste in her throat also faded significantly.

Just now, she vomited blood, dirtying her clothes. She was about to change into her pajamas and wash the soiled clothes when her phone began to ring urgently.

It was the private detective she had hired who called her.

Over there, he had news from Lola again.

When Lola first entered the industry, she had not yet been recognized by the Hilliard family. At that time, she didn't even know that Zackary was the beloved son of Jayden and Cornelia. She wanted to become famous and had no choice but to take shortcuts.

She had climbed into the beds of numerous directors and investors before she secured a place for herself in the entertainment industry.

Tonight, she had a secret meeting with the internationally renowned director Kaleb at a five-star hotel.

Kaleb was very talented, every movie he directed was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. However, his personal life was quite chaotic, and he was particularly fond of engaging in secret relationships with female celebrities.

Lola became famous overnight as the leading actress in his film years ago, simply because she always catered to Kaleb's requests.

Now, Lola had become the darling of the Hilliard family and the fiancée of Zackary, layered in gold, but it wasn't so easy for her to completely rid herself of all her old habits.

Moreover, she wanted to play the female lead in Kaleb's new film at the time, so naturally, she wouldn't refuse Kaleb's request.

Kaleb just returned to the country today, he was recently preparing a new play, he wanted to use this play to make a run for the Oscars.

Lola also had high hopes for this big production, the female lead, she was determined to get it.

The private detective did his duty diligently. After providing Penelope with the specific room number where Kaleb and Lola were having a secret rendezvous, he also gave her Kaleb's wife's phone number.

Kaleb's wife, Magnolia, was famously known as a tiger mom in their circle.

Magnolia was a rich man's daughter, marrying Kaleb, who had nothing at the time, was considered marrying beneath her status.

Magnolia had been feisty since childhood, and was spoiled by her entire family. She was typically fearless.

Kaleb was most afraid of the tiger mom at home.

Therefore, although Kaleb's private life was chaotic and he liked to provoke young girls, he always hid it, fearing that he would upset his own mother.

Penelope looked at the piece of paper where she had written down Magnolia's phone number, unable to suppress a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

She didn't have much time left, she couldn't afford to keep fooling around with Lola and Pennie, if she was going to play, she would play hard.

Wasn't Lola the one who loved to play innocent, pitiful, and blameless? Even when her video with Ralph was exposed, she was still able to turn the tables.

She wanted to see how, this time, being trapped in a hotel room by Magnolia, she could still twist right and wrong, maintaining her innocent and pure image!

Magnolia, it wasn't the first time she had caught her own husband doing that kind of thing with a female star in a hotel.

The most intense incident was when Magnolia invited dozens of media outlets to ambush a person. The female celebrity involved was considered second-tier, but that scandal completely ruined her acting career. Even now, she has no way to make a comeback!

Penelope dialed Magnolia's number unhurriedly. The methods Magnolia used to catch Kaleb and the actress in their secret meetings were always different.

She was very excited, wondering what means she would use to deal with Lola tonight!

She was also waiting to see, Lola fall from grace!

Actually, Lola wanted to spend the evening with Zackary tonight.

But Zackary was completely captivated by Penelope, he didn't even have the intention to take her home.

She could only let Ruby drive her home.

Not long after she left Gogwood, she received a call from Kaleb.

In fact, although she had been with many men, she truly had no feelings for any of them. The only one who haunted her dreams and thoughts was Zackary.

She was about to marry Zackary and she thought to herself that she would try to avoid dealing with those men in the future, to prevent any potential problems.

The allure of the movie in Kaleb's hands was truly overwhelming for her.

That movie had an investment of nearly one billion and assembled the top international team. The script was also impeccably good. Having acted in it, it would have been hard not to win an award.

Lola's position in the entertainment industry had always been a bit awkward.

To say she wasn't popular would be wrong. She always played the leading female role, absolutely top-notch.

The endorsements she received were all from internationally renowned brands, making her undeniably a top-tier actress.

But to say she was popular, she simply couldn't compare with top superstars like Isabella and Chelsea.

Lola had always been very ambitious.

She was not content with always being referred to as the daughter of Chelsea and Dalton, the fiancée of Zackary.

She wished more that she could shine brilliantly, so that she could stand tall and stand shoulder to shoulder with the man she loved.

So, she had to, completely explode!

After exchanging a few cheesy words with Kaleb, she had Ruby turn the car around and head straight to the underground garage of that hotel.

Ruby had been by Lola's side for many years, and she had grown accustomed to all the things Lola did. In fact, she was extremely supportive. She floored the gas pedal and quickly arrived at the hotel.

Making sure there were no reporters sneaking photos, Lola pulled down her hat brim, put on her mask, and quickly headed towards the agreed room.

Kaleb had been waiting in the room for a long time. Upon hearing the doorbell, he quickly opened the door and pulled Lola in, finding it hard to let go.
