Chapter 322 Lola, Despised by All!

Originally, Lola was crying her eyes out, snot and tears mingling. The onlooking staff all believed that what she said was true, that Penelope had indeed cruelly harmed her.

But now, seeing Penelope laughing with her eyes crinkled in amusement, calmly demanding the director to pull out the surveillance footage, they suddenly became uncertain.

"How could Penelope have requested the surveillance footage? Wasn't she afraid of being caught red-handed?"

"Hilarious! If Penelope was really afraid of being caught red-handed, would she ask for the surveillance video? I tell you, there must be something fishy going on here. It's quite possible that she was framed!"

"If it was really Penelope who saved Lola, yet she still framed her, Lola's character... it's really not something to be complimented!"

***

There were four big shots present at the scene, making Richard extremely nervous. After hearing Penelope's words, he was unsure whether or not to have the surveillance footage pulled up.

He was just about to seek the opinions of the big shots when Everett's voice rang out, calm and unruffled, "Didn't you hear? Go pull up the surveillance footage!"

Richard, with his round body, jolted suddenly and hurriedly ordered the staff to pull out the surveillance video.

Lola would never allow anyone to actually pull out the surveillance footage! If the surveillance was pulled out, she would change from being the victim to the perpetrator!

"No!"

Lola loudly intervened, "Don't check the surveillance!"

Richard looked utterly confused. He rubbed his shiny bald head and spoke in a puzzled tone, "Ms. Hilliard, if we pull up the surveillance, we'll know the truth about today. Don't you also want everyone to see the truth?"

"I..."

Lola really didn't want to, but she couldn't say it like that.

She coughed weakly several times, appearing as if she was struggling to catch her breath.

She rubbed her temples, as if, after the discomfort in her throat, she started to have a headache again.

"No need to check the surveillance footage!"

Clenching her teeth, Lola spoke, "I remember, I remember it all!"

"It wasn't my sister who pushed me into the fish pond! I slipped in by accident, and my sister pulled me to the shore by my hair!"

"Just now... Just now, I experienced a matter of life and death. I almost didn't make it. I was truly, truly terrified, so terrified that my thoughts became incoherent."

"For a moment, all I could remember was my sister pulling my hair. I almost forgot, she did that to save me!"

Admitting that it was Penelope who saved her, Lola's heart and soul were screaming in unwillingness. However, at this moment, this was already the most dignified ending for her.

Otherwise, once the director had someone pull up the surveillance footage, she, Lola, would become the vicious murderer in everyone's heart!

"Huh?" Richard was rather straightforward and his thinking was quite simple. He really hadn't expected such a sudden twist.

He looked at Lola weakly and began, "Ms. Hilliard, was it really Penelope who saved you? But you seemed quite certain just now that she was the one who pushed you into the fish pond."

"It was my sister who saved me!" Lola continued through gritted teeth, "Director, I'm sorry, I was really too nervous just now, I made a mistake, I misunderstood my sister. She didn't harm me, she jumped into the fish pond to save me."

"Lola, the person you should apologize to is not the director, but Penelope!" Lyman spoke with a cold face. His originally likable baby face was now terrifyingly cold. "Apologize to Penelope!"

"No, you should not only apologize to Penelope, but also thank her!"

Thank Penelope?!

Lola bit down so hard that the taste of blood filled her mouth. Just moments ago, Penelope had yanked out a large chunk of her hair and repeatedly pushed her under the water. Why on earth should she thank Penelope?!

Did he thank her for abusing her?!

Lola's hatred had reached its peak, but just now, she had admitted that it was Penelope who had saved her. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she really couldn't avoid thanking her.

Suppressing the resentment and anger in her heart, Lola spoke softly, "Sister, thank you, thank you for saving me. Also, I'm really sorry, I was so scared earlier, I couldn't tell if you were trying to save me or harm me."

"Holy shit! Penelope really did save Lola! Isn't that hilarious? She just saved her, yet she was framing others for pushing her just a moment ago. What kind of person is she!"

"Exactly, if it weren't for Penelope demanding to pull out the surveillance footage, Lola would probably still be denying it! Such a drama queen!"

"Why did it seem like I just watched a modern version of The Farmer and the Snake?"

"I just felt that Lola, calling everyone 'sister', was really disgusting! Talking about deep sisterly love, but she was just setting Penelope up for failure!"

"I just said Penelope was malicious! I owe Penelope an apology!"

***

Listening to the buzzing discussions of the on-site staff, Lola's face grew increasingly ugly, especially when she saw that the guy who loved live streaming had broadcasted everything that just happened on the internet. Her little face was so angry that it turned the color of a pig's liver.

But now everyone was staring at her, no matter how annoyed she was, she had to summon all her strength to show deep sisterly affection with Penelope.

"Sister, I was really wrong just now, I will never dare to do it again, please, can you forgive me?"

Penelope rolled her eyes in disgust, "See, even when admitting a mistake, Lola has to play the victim. She really is a drama queen!"

However, Lola had acting skills, and so did Penelope.

Penelope also put on a helpless and aggrieved look, "Lola, it's me who should be begging you. Can you please stop framing me in the future?"

"The water was so cold, I jumped in to save you, it was really freezing. I was already feeling bad enough, and you still set me up, this really chilled my heart!"

Lola stared blankly at Penelope, she really hadn't expected that she could also play the victim.

"Forget it, I'm already used to being framed, Lola. Let's turn the page on this incident. I don't mind if you frame me, but I hope that in the future, you won't casually frame others. This kind of behavior is really not good."

After hearing Penelope's words, the staff members felt even more sympathy for her.

Yes, the water was so cold. After saving someone, I was bitten in return. How could I not feel disheartened!

I really wanted to hug the beautiful, kind-hearted and pitiful Miss Penelope!

Everett was increasingly smitten upon seeing Penelope's lively and charming appearance. Seeing her so wet, he feared she might catch a cold and worsen her condition. He immediately scooped her up in his arms, "Penelope, let's go home! You need to take a hot bath and change out of these wet clothes!"

Nani?!

Zackary jerked his head up, Everett was actually planning to take Penelope for a hot bath?! Was he also going to help her bathe?! He must be dreaming!

Lola was worrying about not finding an opportunity to change the subject. Upon hearing Everett's words, she quickly spoke to Zackary in a weak voice, "Zackary, I'm so cold, can you hold me and take me to have a hot bath?"
