Chapter 269 Let Dalton Torture Penelope to Death!
Bachelor Samuel was blissfully hugging his pillow in his sleep. In his dream, the pillow in his arms turned into a gorgeous and seductive woman. Just as he was about to do something impure with the beauty, he received a call from his boss.
All the passion in Samuel extinguished in an instant.
He hugged his pillow, pitifully pressed the answer button, and entered work mode in a second.
"Yes, boss, I was just about to check!"
Samuel was highly efficient in handling matters, and Zackary received his call very quickly.
Samuel's voice, unlike when he had answered the phone earlier, sounding so full of fighting spirit, was now noticeably uneasy.
"Boss, all the surveillance in that hotel was destroyed tonight! I've already sent people to restore it, but with their level of skill, they simply can't restore the footage! Unless, Mr. Dylan steps in..."
Having said this, Samuel weakly swallowed, silently waiting for a response from his boss.
Having just been rudely awakened from his sleep, Samuel spent some time browsing the news. He was still wondering what on earth had gotten into his boss to have him check hotel surveillance in the middle of the night.
Upon reading the news, he finally understood the boss's intention.
Turns out, while he was sleeping, the boss had surprisingly become the number one green in Sea City!
Samuel instantly lost all desire to sleep, fearing that the man, green as a grassland, would torment him to the point of questioning his existence.
Zackary didn't speak.
Having not received his response for a long time, Samuel became increasingly uneasy.
Boss, could it be that we've been fooled?
Samuel was also a man, and all men have their dignity. If he was cuckolded by his fiancée to the point where it was known all over the internet, he would surely be so upset that he would question his life.
Suddenly, Samuel felt particularly sorry for the boss who was so cuckolded that he began to doubt his life.
He felt that he had to comfort his eldest, whose spirit had been severely wounded.
"Boss, are...are you very upset?" Samuel tentatively began.
Still no response was received.
Samuel felt even more sorry for Zackary, guessing that the eldest was probably suffering and sobbing quietly. He must have been afraid of being heard crying, too embarrassed to even speak.
The maternal love in Samuel's heart overflowed more and more. He carefully began to speak, "Boss, I know, you must be in unbearable pain, feeling like you're on the verge of death. But in this life, who hasn't been hurt? Boss, you have to stay strong!"
Samuel wanted to offer more words of comfort to his despondent eldest, only to find that the call had already been hung up.
Samuel stared in disbelief at the gradually darkening phone screen. Was the boss so heartbroken that he couldn't even make a call?
The boss wouldn't have lost hope, would he?
After all, the boss was such a proud person. Now, people all over the world were discussing how many green hats he was wearing on his head. He definitely couldn't stand it!
Samuel grabbed the car keys and dashed out of the room.
He had to rush to Silverybay Estates immediately, in case the boss did something rash! Although the boss was fierce, his small frame might not be able to stop him, but as a dedicated senior assistant, he still had to forge ahead!
Zackary really wasn't desperate, since Samuel couldn't find anything, he definitely didn't need to continue wasting time.
He directly dialed his older brother Dylan's phone number.
Couldn't get through.
He called Cornelia and only then did he find out that his elder brother had gone to an island in Westholt. The place was particularly underdeveloped, with communication and such being very inconvenient. It would be strange if he could get through on the phone.
And Dylan wouldn't be able to return until at least half a month later.
Zackary was extremely frustrated.
The surveillance was destroyed, there were only two possibilities. First, the surveillance was destroyed by Penelope and Ralph, in order to avoid being caught for harming Lola.
There was another possibility, it was Lola who ruined it.
As the truth was stated online, it was Lola who voluntarily climbed into Kaleb's bed.
But if there really was something going on between Lola and Kaleb, how would one explain that phone call Ralph made to him?!
Also, there was the incident where Ralph forced himself on Lola last time.
The truth seemed to lean more towards the former. He should have severely reprimanded Penelope, to seek justice for Lola.
But he truly loved Penelope so much. Even though he knew the chances were slim, he still wanted to find an excuse for her.
Even if it was postponed for a bit, it would be fine.
For half a month, before Dylan returned, he didn't know the truth. Therefore, he didn't need to have a catastrophic argument with Penelope. He could still humbly fantasize that she wasn't that bad.
Zackary laughed at himself, "Zackary, for a heartless woman, you really are pathetic!"
Lola was still sitting on the large hotel bed. After she finished the call with Zackary, the heart she had been holding up instantly fell back into her stomach.
This incident indeed had a significant impact on her. Even if Zackary had suppressed the matter of the videos and photos, her image had already suffered irreversible damage.
However, he was still willing to marry her.
This had already been the best outcome.
As long as he still stood by her side, she had the chance to turn things around and shine brightly again!
In order to avoid being photographed with Ralph by the media, which could stir up more trouble, Lola coaxed him to leave after he had finished calling Zackary.
She didn't know whether her being caught this time was accidental, or if someone had deliberately planned it.
However, no matter what, she would not let go of any opportunity that could hurt Penelope.
From what Zackary implied, it seemed like he had no intention of disciplining Penelope. Since he was unwilling to take action, fine, he would find someone else!
Lola had simply cleaned her body, Ralph had already brought her new clothes. She didn't wash her face, but dipped in water, used the dried blood at the corner of her lips, and vigorously smeared it on her face a few times before she was fully armed and left the hotel.
Dalton loved Chelsea so much that he loved everything associated with her, including her adopted daughter.
If Dalton thought she was harmed like this by Penelope, it would be strange if he let Penelope off the hook!
Perhaps, he would have killed Penelope directly!
Thinking of Penelope's ultimate fate, dying at the hands of her own father, the corners of Lola's lips couldn't help but lift.
Dalton brutally abused Penelope, just thinking about it gives me chills!
Alas, Penelope might have died with her eyes open!
Lola had been smiling all the way, but as she walked into the Hilliard's villa, her little face was once again painted with deep sorrow and despair.
Dalton hadn't rested yet. At that moment, he was tightly holding Chelsea's hand, sitting by the bed, and with his other hand, he was carefully wiping her small face.
"Miss, please don't be so desperate! I beg you, put down the knife in your hand, you can't joke with your own life!"
Dalton heard the shouting from downstairs, he gently let go of Chelsea's small hand and hurriedly went down the stairs.
Upon seeing Lola's dreadful appearance, his face turned pale instantly.
"Lola, what on earth happened?!"
