Chapter 309 Lola Knocked Ethan Down!
The atmosphere on the scene was too lively, too festive. Upon hearing Lyman's cheerful voice, everyone couldn't help but join in the commotion.
"Kiss one! Kiss one!"
Listening to the almost ear-piercing jeers around her, Penelope couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lyman.
Was there such a brother? The kind that specializes in tricking his sister.
"Lyman, stop fooling around!" Penelope, her face red, jumped off Everett's back.
Just, she was rather unlucky. With that one jump, she twisted her ankle. If it hadn't been for Everett catching her in his arms, she would have definitely fallen to the ground.
"Penelope, where did I mess up! You, Everett, and Ethan won the championship, shouldn't you passionately kiss to celebrate?! Everett, Penelope, kiss! Kiss!"
Lyman, grinning foolishly, continued to shake his head and stir up trouble.
Everyone was quite eager to see handsome men and beautiful women kissing in public, especially the male lead, the famous Mr. Murray.
Although everyone was quite afraid of Everett, it seemed like he really wanted to kiss Penelope. Everyone still mustered up the courage to continue chanting, "Kiss her, kiss her!"
"Penelope, do you think we should satisfy everyone's enthusiasm?" Everett's voice was rich and pleasant with a hint of coldness. However, when he spoke to Penelope, he restrained his coldness, leaving only a refreshing warmth, making his voice even more captivating, as if he was seducing people into committing crimes.
Penelope didn't want to kiss, not even a bit.
Even if Everett pretended to be Ethan's father, they were, after all, just ordinary friends. Being kissed by him in the hospital was an unexpected incident that shouldn't have happened. She didn't want to cross the line with him over and over again.
Penelope was about to refuse when she lifted her face and saw Zackary not far away.
Zackary's eyes were cold and clear, dressed in black, which accentuated his overall aura, making it even more icy and chilling. It was as if, within a few miles of him, everything had turned into a dark abyss where no light could be seen.
He stared coldly at Penelope, with mockery, disgust, and disdain in his eyes, as if saying, "Penelope, you're filthy! You're shameless!"
Penelope's body trembled uncontrollably. She despised herself, for despite her firm decision to distance herself from Zackary, she was still involuntarily affected by him.
She hastily turned her face away, no longer making eye contact with him.
"Dad, Mom, give me a kiss!"
Ethan also noticed Zackary not far away, his half-lowered eyelids hiding the complex emotions in his eyes. By the time he fully opened his eyes again, there was only brilliant starlight in his gaze.
He wanted his father, but his father only had that bad woman in his heart. He would only hurt his mother. Therefore, no matter how much he wanted his father, he would never support them being together again.
Uncle Everett was nice, he was truly good to mom. He hoped that mom could find a man who truly loved her, so she wouldn't have to worry or shed tears of pain anymore. Therefore, he would help Uncle Everett to succeed.
Ethan stubbornly shifted his gaze away from Zackary's face, continuing to smile with his eyes crinkled, "Mom, Dad, give me a kiss! Consider it a celebration for us winning the championship!"
Seeing Everett lower his face, his lips getting closer and closer to Penelope, Zackary couldn't stand it!
"No kissing!" He grabbed the microphone nearby, his voice cold as ice.
Everyone was shocked. Who could have imagined that the unflappable Mr. Zackary would suddenly speak up, and when he did, it was to object to the young couple's kiss!
The young couple won the championship, they were on cloud nine. What's wrong with them sharing a kiss? How did that bother Mr. Zackary?!
But no one dared to say this. They could only watch Mr. Zackary nervously, wondering what this big shot was going to do.
Lola hadn't expected Zackary to suddenly say such a thing. She couldn't maintain the smile on her face, no matter how hard she tried. Lowering her voice, she gently spoke, "Zackary, please don't do this, okay? It really hurts me when you act like this."
As if he hadn't heard Lola's words, Zackary continued to speak righteously, "There are many minors at the scene."
"You let them kiss, intending for the children present to imitate them?! Penelope, Everett, I won't allow you to perform R-rated actions on the spot and corrupt the minors!"
Originally, everyone thought it was quite excessive for Zackary to inexplicably interrupt the couple's kiss. However, after hearing his words, which were like those of a justice warrior, everyone instantly felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Mr. Zackary was just Mr. Zackary, they were so busy causing a commotion that they completely forgot to protect the innocence of the underage!
Mr. Zackary, with his heart set on the welfare of minors and his meticulous consideration, it's no wonder he was able to lead the Spencer Group to unprecedented new heights!
Mr. Zackary was awesome!
Many parents of underage children quietly gave Zackary a thumbs up.
Lyman hadn't expected Zackary to be so shameless, he was so angry that his nose was about to go crooked.
However, Ethan had to go on stage to receive an award next, so he didn't have time to argue with him.
Lyman gave Zackary a tsundere roll of his eyes, he gently cradled Ethan into his arms, whispering a few words into his ear.
Upon hearing Lyman's words, a mischievous smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of Ethan's lips.
At today's sports meeting, only the award ceremony was allowed to be photographed.
Parents wouldn't go on stage, only the children would, representing their entire family unit, to receive the award.
Lola had invited quite a few journalists, just to capture photos of her being close to the children and showing her gentle and amiable side while she was presenting awards to them.
There were several award presenters. The second and third place winners, as well as the excellence award recipients, were presented their awards by the school leaders. Only the grade champion was awarded by Lola.
The champion's award was finally presented.
Joining Ethan on stage to receive the award were also the champions from the middle and senior classes.
Ethan was draped in a ribbon edged with gold, standing on the podium with a radiant smile on his face, shimmering all over.
Zackary was staring blankly at Ethan, who was standing on the podium.
This was his son.
He said he would win the championship, and he did.
Indeed, Everett played a significant role in their championship win, but Ethan was truly great as well.
He was proud of his son Ethan.
He wasn't a stupid cripple, he was the best little man.
Zackary's eyes welled up slightly, he abruptly turned his face away, no longer looking at Ethan on the stage.
Just like Penelope, he didn't care about Zackary. No matter how great Zackary was, what did it have to do with him? Only an idiot would be proud of him!
Lola went on stage to present the award, and to show her affability, she also hugged the winning child.
The last person she hugged was Ethan. As she held him, he whispered into her ear, a voice only the two of them could hear, "Lola, did you wet the bed again last night? You smell so strong, it's making me dizzy!"
Wet the bed?!
Lola's face changed dramatically, she could no longer maintain her elegant and friendly demeanor, especially since she was holding Penelope and Zackary's son in her arms!
She exerted a sudden force with her hand, pushing Ethan away directly.
Ethan saw his scheme succeed. He fell backwards with her force, rolling several times on the award stage before he finally stopped.
The media rushed over, frantically taking pictures.
Lola publicly dropped a child, it was huge news!
