Chapter 389 The Video in the Dungeon

Samuel silently turned his face away.

Logically speaking, a handsome man and a beautiful woman in such close contact would make for a beautiful scene. However, for some reason, when he saw Lola inching closer to Zackary, he couldn't help but recall the image of her wetting the bed.

Administering medicine was like feeding urine.

Samuel felt a severe discomfort in his stomach. He silently mourned for his boss for a few seconds, then planned to go outside the ward, out of sight, out of mind.

"Penelope...."

Just as Lola's lips were about to touch his, she heard Zackary's voice.

Her eyes, for a moment, were dyed with a resentful glow, countless thorns almost piercing everything around, leaving it bloody and raw.

Penelope!

It was Penelope again!

Even in his sickly state, his mind was still consumed with thoughts of Penelope!

Lola didn't accept it!

She immediately pressed herself against it without any hesitation.

"Penelope...."

Zackary's mind was already in a chaotic state from the burn, he reached out his hand, instinctively wanting to hold the woman who was pressing against him tightly.

But just as he was about to embrace her, he gathered all his strength and harshly pushed her away.

This was not his Penelope!

The scent on him was not like this, Penelope!

Lola closed her eyes, her face full of ecstasy. She never expected such a sudden turn of events. She was completely unprepared, her body suddenly leaning back, her waist hitting the corner of a table hard, causing her small face to contort in pain.

The boss was so brutal!

Samuel, who had just stepped out of the ward, silently withdrew his foot. Looking at Lola's pained expression, he spoke weakly, "Ms. Hilliard, are you alright?"

"Hmph!"

Lola was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Samuel. Although she had a high and mighty heart, looking down on little assistants like Samuel, she was still uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart when he saw such a humiliating side of her.

Back then, she couldn't even maintain her usual elegant and gentle image, she was completely unable to show him a good face.

Huh?!

Samuel rolled his eyes silently, subtly retracting the hands he had intended to help Lola with, making it seem as if he really wanted to assist her. He was even worried that his hands would smell of urine!

Of course, Lola was not willing to lose face in front of a junior assistant. Just now, she had already swallowed the fever reducer. At the moment, she opened the bottle cap again, took a big mouthful in her mouth, and slowly moved closer to Zackary, trying to save some face.

Samuel continued to cover his face. Some people, really, even if they hit the south wall, they just wouldn't give up!

Lola's movements, they were so gentle and charming. In her eyes, there was also a captivating, enchanting glow.

However, this time, before she could even touch Zackary's lips, he harshly pushed her aside. Her waist hit the corner of the table hard, and it took her a while to regain her balance and stand up straight.

Samuel's brow twitched, that sound, it hurt to listen to, but for some reason, why did it feel so good inside!

Even though he felt a bit of schadenfreude, as a qualified assistant, he still had to show some concern when the boss's fiancée was hit so hard.

He stepped forward respectfully, "Ms. Hilliard, are you really okay? Otherwise, shall I have a doctor come to see you right now?!"

Lola's face turned even more unsightly. Show her again?! Did he also want to invite the doctor to come and laugh at her?!

Lola glared at Samuel fiercely, so angry that she didn't even feel like giving Zackary his medicine. She strutted out of the hospital room in her high heels, full of attitude.

She had just left the ward when she began to regret it. She shouldn't have shown her anger to Samuel. After all, he was Zackary's most trusted subordinate.

Moreover, she was really worried about his health.

She rubbed her aching back, just about to return to the ward, when her cell phone rang, sounding as if it was snatching her soul away.

Seeing it was an unfamiliar phone number, Lola's beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. After some thought, she still answered the call.

"Who was it?"

"Was it Ms. Hilliard, Lola?"

"Who are you, really? What do you want from me?!" Upon hearing the man's voice on the phone, Lola felt an inexplicable unease. She quietly glanced into Zackary's hospital room, then, holding her phone, she quickly walked towards the hallway.

"Ms. Hilliard, you really don't remember me?" Without receiving a response from Lola, the amusement in the person's voice became increasingly unrestrained.

"Ms. Hilliard, you truly have the memory of the privileged, you don't remember me, but I've never forgotten. The four years you kept Penelope in the dungeon, how you tormented her."

"Oh, even if I had forgotten, the video I took was constantly reminding me of the unspeakable things you did to her!"

Video?!

He even took a video?!

Lola's face turned pale. Back then, Ralph had arranged for a few people to guard Penelope and others in the dungeon, and she truly couldn't remember what those people looked like. Those people were all Ralph's confidants, and she thought that all those things were in the past. Kemp was hypnotized, no one believed what Penelope said, and no one would ever expose what happened that year. She never thought that someone had actually filmed her torturing Penelope in the dungeon!

The hand that Lola was clutching her phone with, couldn't help but tremble.

If the video from that year had been exposed...

If everyone had seen how she ruthlessly stepped on Penelope, how she forced live fish into her mouth, made her eat rotten food, locked her in a room filled with snakes, and so on...

Lola didn't dare to think any further.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, but she quickly calmed down.

If that person really wanted to ruin her, he could have simply exposed the video. The fact that he didn't expose the video, but instead contacted her first, proves that there is still a chance for things to turn around.

Ralph, Ralph, didn't you say that those people you found were all loyal to you, that none of them could possibly betray us?!

I really didn't expect that you were already dead, yet you still managed to trick me like this!

"What on earth do you want me to do?!" Lola articulated each word, her voice still carrying an air of haughty superiority, as if she had everything under control all along.

"Did you want money, or, did you want something else?"

"Ms. Hilliard, you really are clever!" The person said this, seemingly praising her, but upon closer listening, it didn't seem to be the case.

Lola inexplicably started to panic again in her heart, but she still forced herself to stay calm.

Soon, the man's voice echoed again through the phone, "But for now, I haven't decided whether I want money or your Lola. After all, I am a loyal fan of yours, Ms. Hilliard! Ms. Hilliard, allow me some time to think. I will give you an answer in three days."

After saying that, the person immediately hung up the phone.

It would still be three days before I could reply to her...

Lola was so angry that she was shaking all over. What she hated the most was being threatened. The feeling of having her weak spot tightly gripped by others was really unpleasant!

It seemed, she had to, take that road!
