Chapter 282 Mr. Zackary's Solitary Wilderness

"Send it over!" After saying this, Zackary coldly hung up the phone.

The internet speed in the VIP ward of the private hospital was exceptionally good, almost instantly, Zackary received the video that Samuel had sent.

It was just a video, not some bomb or poison, yet Zackary's fingertips lacked the courage to click on it for a long time.

He was afraid that the video showed something different from what he had expected.

He was afraid. Penelope was truly as heartless as a serpent and a scorpion. He no longer had any grounds to hold onto his last bit of hope for her.

He was afraid, he, Zackary, was ultimately nothing more than an insignificant passerby in Penelope's life.

Even though he was filled with a thousand apprehensions, Zackary still decided to face the truth.

Perhaps due to being damaged in the past, even after being repaired, this video could not display the specific time.

However, the protagonist could be clearly seen inside.

Ralph.

And the environment in the video, the underground garage of the hotel where Lola was caught.

Ralph got out of a flashy, big red car. After sneakily looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he quickly opened the back door and dragged out an oversized sack from inside.

The sack was not thick, allowing the clear visibility of the outline of the object inside. It was evidently a person that was contained within.

Ralph hoisted the sack onto his back and hurried towards the elevator.

Because this surveillance footage was captured by the camera in the underground parking lot, the video abruptly ended here.

But Zackary knew with his toes that the person inside the sack was Lola.

Zackary closed his eyes heavily, then slowly opened them again. Originally, there was still a bit of liveliness in his eyes, but after opening them, there was only a barren silence.

He had always been making excuses for Penelope, telling himself that perhaps she wasn't as bad as he thought.

And the result?

He was just deceiving himself and others!

The love between them was nothing more than his own everlasting desolation.

Lola was very close to Zackary, he could clearly see the video playing on his phone.

Unexpectedly, this video came in handy so quickly.

This was when Ralph used to seek her out, she specifically instructed him to appear with a human-shaped toy in a sack, as if he had truly drugged her, Lola. He and Penelope were in cahoots, maliciously sending her to Kaleb's bed.

She was particularly thoughtful. Afterwards, she destroyed all the videos from the hotel, except for the one from the camera in the underground garage that was directly facing Ralph's sports car. She had it destroyed less thoroughly.

She knew that Zackary loved Penelope too much. Without solid evidence, he would still make excuses for Penelope. But in the face of irrefutable evidence, he would only hate Penelope to the bone!

"Zackary, it turns out, this is how Ralph sent me to Kaleb's room..."

Lola looked as if she was in unbearable pain, helplessly covering her face and half-squatting on the ground, sobbing silently.

"Zackary, why did they do this to me! Why! What did I do wrong! Zackary, now everyone can laugh at me for wetting myself out of fear, all I have left in life is pain! Zackary, let me die! Please, can you let me die?!"

"Lola, you won't be ruined! You will, shine brilliantly!"

Zackary gripped Lola's small hand tightly, "As for Penelope, I won't let her off easily!"

Seeing Lola still looking helpless and in pain, "Lola, you will be the female lead in 'Great General'! No one will see you fall!"

Upon hearing Zackary's words, a brilliant light instantly flared up in Lola's eyes.

"Great General", although a TV series, still gathered the top-notch teams from both domestic and abroad. Moreover, the female lead in the drama was a general disguised as a man. Just this setting alone sounded incredibly cool.

The script was adapted from the most popular novel on the internet. This top-tier IP blockbuster naturally attracted a lot of attention. It was hard for the actress who played the female lead not to become popular!

Even if she was tainted with filth now, once she finished acting in this play, her value would surely rise to a higher level. She could even become a top superstar like Isabella!

This play was funded by the Spencer Group, originally intended for Isabella to play the lead role. Unexpectedly, such a good opportunity fell into her, Lola's lap.

Lola was so elated that she was almost going mad, but her little face still carried a nervous sadness, "Zackary, are you telling the truth? But my reputation is so bad now, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will affect the ratings of this show."

"Lola, you were undoubtedly the female lead in 'Great General'!"

Upon hearing Zackary's words, Lola's heart instantly fell back into place, feeling reassured.

The male lead of this play was said to be the super movie emperor of the entertainment industry, Kenneth. Kenneth had countless wife fans, he was the guarantee of the ratings. Acting with him, there was actually no need to worry about the ratings.

Moreover, if she could take the opportunity to stir up a scandal with him, she thought it would be hard not to make a big splash!

Lola gently rose from the ground, softly embracing Zackary from behind, "Zackary, you've been so good to me! You've treated me so well, I will definitely treat you with all my heart. Zackary, I'm willing to give you everything I have."

Saying so, Lola elegantly and seductively walked up to Zackary. She tiptoed, her lips slowly moving closer to Zackary's.

Zackary's body suddenly stiffened.

Lola's face was still wet with un-dried snot and tears. He really couldn't bring himself to kiss her.

He was a clean freak.

However, sometimes, this obsession with cleanliness really depends on the person.

He had once kissed Penelope's tear-stained little face.

He held her, kissed her, oblivious to the dirt on her face, only feeling heartache.

He hoped, pouring out all his passion, to soothe the sorrow in her heart, not letting her shed another tear.

But the girl he cherished in his palm, ultimately still betrayed him.

"Lola, get out!"

Pushing Lola away, Zackary was afraid of hurting her young soul. Kissing her, he feared he would leave a lifelong psychological shadow. He was in extreme agony when Lyman's angry voice sounded at the door of the ward.

"Lyman, you're back!" Lola's expression stiffened for a moment, then, a smile played at the corners of her mouth, her eyes brimming with pure surprise and joy.

"Lola, don't play innocent with me!" Lyman looked at Lola with disdain, "Your pretentious act makes me sick! I'm afraid I might throw up last night's dinner!"

"Lyman, what's wrong with you? How could you suddenly speak to me like this?!" Lola looked hurt and incredulous. She took a step forward, looking at him with concern. "Lyman, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Lola, get your dirty hands off me! They reek of urine, are you deliberately trying to disgust me to death?! How can you be so malicious!"

Lyman slapped Lola's hand away with disgust. After doing so, he couldn't help but furrow his brows in revulsion.

"Indeed, it reeked of urine! I must go back and thoroughly disinfect!"

Ignoring Lola's flushed face, Lyman continued in a cold voice, "Lola, you are not my sister at all, Penelope is my real sister!"
