Chapter 321 Zackary, I was pursuing Penelope!
In the eyes of the onlookers, Lola's demands really weren't excessive at all.
After all, Penelope had almost killed her, yet she didn't call the police, didn't demand Penelope to compensate or take criminal responsibility. Instead, she only wanted her to say sorry. What kind of magnanimity and compassion it would take to do such a thing!
Upon hearing Lola's words, Penelope couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
If she had apologized to Lola, it would have meant that she admitted to deliberately hurting Lola.
It was clearly Lola who pushed her first, and Penelope was not stupid, why should she take all the blame for the mess!
Just as Penelope was about to speak, Zackary's cold and ruthless voice echoed in the air again, "Penelope, apologize to Lola! Otherwise, if you keep hurting Lola like this, I will make sure you rot in jail!"
"Zackary, Penelope couldn't possibly apologize to Lola!" Lyman bellowed angrily, "Lola was the one who was wrong, why should Penelope apologize?!"
"Zackary, you're not stupid, but why do you always let Lola make a fool of you?! Whatever she says, you believe. Do you have a hole in your head or what?"
"Lyman!"
Upon hearing Zackary's threatening voice, Lyman couldn't help but shudder.
Lyman was truly afraid of Zackary's formidable strength, but in this situation, no matter how much he feared getting beaten up, he had to protect his older sister, Penelope.
"Zackary, you don't have to yell at me! Even if you scream your lungs out, I still have to say, you're quite a smart person, how come you become so stupid when it comes to Lola! She's framing Penelope, she can't stand to see Penelope doing well, she keeps hurting Penelope, she..."
"Enough!" Zackary coldly interrupted Lyman's words, "All I know is, Lola almost drowned, and Penelope had ill intentions towards her!"
"Zackary, I feel so awful..." Lola sobbed softly, as frail as a willow in the wind, so incredibly delicate.
"Lola, rest assured, I won't let anyone bully you for no reason!" Zackary stepped forward, his eyes piercing like a knife into Penelope's small face, "What, are you still waiting for me to ask you to apologize to Lola?!"
"Zackary, don't say Penelope didn't push Lola. Even if she did, Lola deserved it!"
Everett, fearing that Zackary might harm Penelope, held her even tighter, "I'm pursuing Penelope! I, Everett, don't need to apologize to anyone for the woman I love!"
Holy shit!
What a sensational piece of news this was!
The crew members looked at each other in disbelief. Weren't Mr. Murray and Penelope, this couple, supposed to be fake?!
How could Mr. Murray have said such a thing now?!
Was it because he was too engrossed in the role, or was it that this domineering CEO, who was always busy with thousands of things, deigned to participate in this kind of dating show, all for Penelope?!
Zackary's face, which was already so gloomy that no light could be seen, turned completely black like the bottom of a pot upon hearing Everett's words.
He was pursuing Penelope...
Did they just make their relationship clear?!
Zackary was so angry that he wanted to kill someone!
Especially seeing Everett and Penelope almost glued together, he was so angry that he felt uncomfortable all over.
He also abruptly pulled Lola into his arms, defiantly staring at Penelope, "My woman, Zackary's woman, is not someone anyone can bully! Penelope, apologize!"
As soon as Zackary embraced Lola, he smelled a strong, pungent stench.
His brows furrowed subconsciously, wanting to push her away, but seeing Everett still clinging to Penelope, he gritted his teeth, deciding to show off their love, even if it killed him.
Suddenly being held so tightly by Everett, Penelope felt extremely uncomfortable, especially after hearing what he had just said, she wanted to distance herself from him as soon as possible.
The water in that fish pond was not clean, she could smell it. Her body was covered with a strong fishy smell, which was not pleasant.
She strained with force, wanting to break free from his embrace.
Everett's hands were like iron clamps, giving her no chance to break free.
With a hint of helplessness, Penelope lifted her face and spoke softly, "Mr. Murray, could you please let me go? The water in the fish pond is very dirty, I smell bad, I'm afraid I might dirty your clothes..."
"Penelope, I don't care!" Everett interrupted before Penelope could finish her sentence, "I won't let you go!"
Penelope, "..."
This person, wasn't he supposed to be a clean freak? Why would he be willing to smell something stinky? She didn't understand men with cleanliness obsessions!
Zackary was standing right in front of Everett and Penelope, his words, he heard them loud and clear.
He hadn't expected that Everett, who was obsessively clean to the point of being abnormal, wouldn't mind the strong fishy smell all over Penelope!
He was really upset inside!
He also wanted to show that no matter what Lola turned into, he wouldn't mind her smell. However, her scent was pervasive. Continuing to hold her, he was about to go crazy!
Especially, thinking about the fact that the vagrant had just given her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and the image of her wetting the bed, Zackary was completely upset.
People are really strange sometimes, he thought. Even if Penelope crawled out of a dung pit, he would only feel pity for her if he held her.
As for Lola, even though he knew she was his lifesaver and he should treat her well, he couldn't bring himself to feel pity for her. All he felt was disgust for her smell.
"Penelope, I'm telling you for the last time, apologize to Lola!"
"Mr. Spencer, I told you, I was not wrong, I won't apologize!"
After saying this, Penelope couldn't be bothered to continue talking nonsense with Zackary. Instead, she turned her face and said to Lola, "Lola, I've been forgetting to remind you, there are cameras here."
Actually, Penelope could have said this just now, but she just wanted to see Lola shamelessly jumping around for a while, so she delayed until now to say it.
The more pitiful Lola had just acted, the more disgusting everyone would find her once she was forced to admit that it was Penelope who had saved her.
"What?!" Lola's face turned pale, she quickly turned around, searching everywhere, and sure enough, not far away, she saw a camera.
"Lola, didn't you hear? If you didn't, I'll say it again, there's a camera here. Everything that happened between us just now was clearly captured by the camera. If you insist on framing me, we can pull up the surveillance footage. Who's right and who's wrong, it will be clear at a glance!"
Lola bit her lip hard, glaring at Penelope with hatred. She never could have imagined, despite all her careful calculations, that she had overlooked the fact that such a godforsaken place could actually have a surveillance camera!
After checking the surveillance video, it was indeed possible to see Penelope's misdeeds just now, but what was more visible was that she had pushed Penelope into the fish pond!
She put Penelope first, even if later on, she tormented her over and over again, people wouldn't think Penelope was bad, they would only think she brought it upon herself, she deserved it!
Seeing Lola silent, Penelope's smile grew even brighter, "Lola, didn't you swear? If you're so sure that I pushed you into the water, wouldn't you want the surveillance footage to be checked?! Director, could you please have someone check the surveillance footage and clear my name!"
