Chapter 416 His heart had grown cold, no longer willing to go through fire and water for her

Lola turned pale with fear, thinking of the last time Penelope recklessly splashed sulfuric acid at her, her face became even more ghastly.

If that large bucket was filled with sulfuric acid and it was splashed on her, I'm afraid, not even a god could save her!

Lola hastily retreated, but the man was faster, she simply couldn't dodge.

Several staff members ran off to stop a few angry-faced people, all of them didn't notice the situation here. Ruby had dropped something and went back to get it, she just hurried over now.

Ruby had been with Lola for many years, she was truly loyal to her, doing many things for her that couldn't stand the light of day. Their relationship was really good, even closer than real sisters.

But Lola was the most selfish. In such a life-and-death situation, she didn't care about the sisterly bond between her and Ruby at all. She suddenly grabbed Ruby, who was still in shock, and shoved her in front of herself.

Ruby belatedly realized that Lola's sudden grip on her was because someone was about to throw something at her. Lola was intending to use her own body to shield Ruby from harm.

Ruby turned to look at Lola in disbelief, her eyes filled with undisguised shock and pain.

Who could have imagined that she, who had nearly lost her life several times for Lola, would now recklessly push her into the fire pit.

She didn't want to be splashed with that big bucket of stuff, but, she couldn't avoid it anymore.

Everything in the bucket had been completely splashed onto her.

Painted.

It wouldn't endanger her life, it just made her look incredibly disheveled.

But standing still, Ruby's burning heart couldn't help but gradually cool down.

This was her, abandoning her confidante who had guarded her conscience, this was her disregarding her good sister who had protected her at all costs.

Yes, this time, it was paint that was splashed on her. Her life was not in danger, but what if the contents of the bucket had been sulfuric acid, or some other toxic liquid?!

She would be killed by Lola.

Suddenly, Ruby didn't know why she had recklessly protected Lola, maintaining their friendship, after all.

Soon, the security had already rushed over and taken the man who splashed the paint to the police station. The other onlookers had also been dispersed.

The road ahead was clear, and it was time for Ruby to drive Lola back to the Hilliard family.

But her body, as if weathered by the wind, she just stood there with her eyes red, unable to move at all.

Seeing Ruby in this state, Lola also realized that her actions in the heat of the moment had been somewhat excessive, hurting her feelings.

Ruby and Ralph were her right-hand men. She had already lost a great support, she absolutely could not afford to lose Ruby's unwavering loyalty.

Lola put on a guilty expression, nervously grabbing Ruby's arm, "Ruby, how are you? Let's go to the doctor! I'll get the doctor right now!"

"Ruby, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to grab you just now, I was just too scared, I don't know what happened, I just grabbed you! Don't worry, I won't let you suffer this injustice for nothing, by the way, don't you really like that limited edition diamond watch from Cornelove? I'll buy it for you tonight!"

Ruby didn't speak immediately. She looked at Lola with a complex expression in her eyes before she finally spoke softly, "Okay."

The limited edition diamond watch newly launched by Cornelove, which was nearly five million, was indeed very much liked by Ruby.

But as a highly reputed top agent in the circle, she was not short of money. What she lacked was the sincerity from others.

Looking back, it seems she was asking for too much.

Ruby didn't even clean the paint off herself, she just protected Lola and headed to the parking lot, driving towards the direction of the Hilliard's villa.

As Lola's agent, she didn't want to fall out with her. From then on, she would still strive to secure the best resources for her and work hard to eliminate any negative information about her. That was her basic professional ethic as an agent.

Just like before, I would no longer be her beast of burden, going through fire and water for her.

After Lola told Dalton about her being cyberbullied, he became furious.

Dalton actually favored girls over boys a bit, and coupled with the fact that he felt he had lost Lola for so many years, letting her suffer too much outside, he had a particular fondness for her.

In his view then, his beloved woman had been splashed with such filth, suffered so much injustice and grievance, he naturally could not bear it.

At that time, he had his assistant release a statement directly through the official blog of the Hilliard Group.

Lola couldn't have harmed Lyman to seize the Hilliard family's property, because the Hilliard family always knew that their property was to be passed on to their daughter. She had no need to take drastic measures.

As for Lyman's leg injury, it was also a misunderstanding. He was injured in a car accident, and his foolish behavior afterwards caused the wound to reopen. It had nothing to do with Lola.

Anyone who slandered Lola, the Hilliard Group would spare no effort to pursue their legal responsibilities. She was Dalton's precious daughter, not someone anyone could tarnish!

After releasing this statement, the official blog of the Hilliard Group immediately released another statement.

The perfume brand, Legend, under the Hilliard Group, was managed by Lola.

It has to be said, Dalton's series of actions were really ruthless. His words clearly indicated that Lola was the one he had identified as the heir to the Hilliard Group from the very beginning. Naturally, she had no motive to harm Lyman.

With his intervention, all negative reports about Lola on the internet had been wiped out. Even if netizens still disliked Lola and wanted to criticize her, they were somewhat at a loss on how to start.

Moreover, this persona of being tired of the entertainment industry and having to go home to inherit billions of wealth really attracted a lot of fans. After Lola was appointed as the president of Legend, she indeed gained a large number of fans.

Some impurities would eventually be forgotten by people, but the brilliant light that shrouded one's body would earn a person more and more flowers and applause.

Legend, although just a subsidiary of the Hilliard Group, as one of the most well-known perfume brands internationally, its value was self-evident.

After Lola became its president, her net worth instantly multiplied several times.

Countless top female celebrities were desperate to become the spokesperson for a sub-brand under Legend, but Lola is now the CEO of Legend. One can only imagine her worth.

Moreover, what she was bearing now was not just the identity of a legendary CEO, but also the future heir of the Hilliard Group.

The Hilliard Group was so large, its wealth immeasurable. When Lola inherited The Hilliard Group, she and Zackary truly became a powerful alliance, a match made in heaven.

Even if she didn't marry Zackary, she was still the envy of the elite within the elite!

Lyman and Penelope had not expected Dalton's defense of Lola to reach such an extent.

Dalton rarely accepted interviews from journalists, but this time, for Lola, he actively held a press conference.

He declared resolutely that he would not accept any slander against Lola. Those who attempted to trample on and defame Lola were his, Dalton's, enemies!

Penelope knew that Dalton was only so good to Lola because he mistakenly thought she was his biological daughter.

However, watching him protect Lola without hesitation, she still felt a bit sad inside.

She didn't know what was going on with Lyman's leg, she was just about to go to the hospital to see him, when she heard about a big event.

Chelsea was in trouble!
