Chapter 462 Lola, Caught Between Two Fires

Kemp's words were nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

Many guests at the scene, this time, were directly startled into jumping up from their seats.

The discussions at the scene were even more intermittent.

"What? Ralph and Lola were accomplices?! She kept calling Penelope 'sister', but locked her in the dungeon for four years, how hypocritical and malicious is that?!"

"Do you still remember the incident where Ralph died tragically in a car accident? Lola issued a statement saying that Ralph was instigated by someone, intending to take her to the outskirts of the city to kill her, but they had an accident on the way, resulting in one death and one injury. Now it seems, it might not be that simple."

"Yeah, if they were accomplices, how could Ralph be manipulated by others to harm her? They wouldn't be fighting amongst themselves, would they? Lola wouldn't be trying to kill to silence someone, would she?"

"And there was also the incident where Kaleb was caught at the Magnolia Hotel! After the incident, Lola also issued a statement, saying that she was framed, that it was Ralph who drugged her and carried her to the hotel room! Now it seems, it doesn't quite seem to be the case!"

"Could it be, what Magnolia said was true, Lola had been involved with Kaleb for many years?"

"Meddling in other people's marriages, imprisoning the sister who grew up with her in a dungeon, and even torturing others, this innocent girl is too terrifying, isn't she?"

"Just thinking about it gives me the creeps! It's simply the most venomous woman's heart!"

***

Lola was seated in the VIP section, it was hard for her not to hear the surrounding chatter.

She clenched her fists tightly, her small face already so pale that not a trace of color could be found.

Even though she had planned everything meticulously, she never imagined that Pennie's long-awaited wedding today would turn out like this.

She dared not even think that Kemp had already regained his memory, and he had publicly spoken about her locking Penelope in the dungeon.

If he had indeed obtained concrete evidence that she had once imprisoned them...

No! He definitely hadn't obtained any solid evidence yet! If he had already gotten the solid evidence, he would have surely released it when he posted those videos!

With these thoughts, Lola's heart instantly became much calmer. However, the tremors in her body were still unable to subside.

She quietly squeezed the phone in her hand, she had to quickly inform that person, to increase manpower, to find the person holding the video at the fastest speed, to completely destroy that video, and to silence them by killing!

Kemp's gaze, as sharp as an ice blade, fell on the trembling Lola. He spoke word by word, merciless and cold as a grim reaper demanding a life, "Lola, apologize!"

As Kemp's gaze fell, the eyes of everyone present simultaneously landed on Lola without any prior arrangement.

Whether in contempt, or disgust, or disdain, or schadenfreude...

Lola, such a proud person, how could she bear so many malicious glances? She was so angry that her teeth were grinding, but she knew in her heart that the more at this time, the less she could lose her composure.

She took a deep breath, and gradually, a hint of color returned to her pale little face.

She rose from her seat, lifted her chin, and looked at Kemp on the stage without humility or arrogance, "Mr. Kemp, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"I believe everyone here should know that Ralph has harmed me time and time again, even attempting to kill me. How could I possibly collude with him to harm you and your sister!"

"Mr. Kemp, I admit, there isn't much acquaintance between you and me, but my sister... Although she isn't related to me by blood, we grew up together since we were little, we are the closest people in this world, how could I possibly harm her!"

"I would rather hurt myself than hurt my sister! Mr. Kemp, I beg you, please stop trying to stir up trouble between us, okay?"

Lola spoke clearly and sincerely. If the incident in the women's restroom hadn't happened today, everyone might have believed her.

But sometimes, the world was just so coincidental.

Just today, that incident in the women's restroom happened. Lola kept insisting that Penelope was crazy about men, constantly setting traps for her. Who would believe that Lola had deep feelings for her!

So, her claim that she and Penelope were the closest people in the world and she would never hurt her, was completely unfounded!

"Lola, Ralph has hurt many people, he is indeed a scoundrel. However, towards you, he is truly sincere, devoted!" Before Kemp could speak, Timothy, who was sitting in the VIP seat, slowly stood up.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, carrying the nonchalant air typical of a dandy. However, no matter how you looked at his smile, it seemed sarcastic.

"Lola, I saw Ralph the day of the accident! He was always deceived by you, that fool, thinking you just wanted to be a nominal wife to Mr. Zackary, that you would belong to him and only him in this lifetime."

"So, when he was chatting with me and accidentally found out that you had been with me before, he felt deceived and hurt. And you, your promise to meet me at the hotel tonight, was overheard by him. How could a fool who has been deceived for so many years swallow this?!"

"He went to confront you, as for how you guys ended up in a car accident, how he died on the spot, I don't know about these things."

Bombs were going off one after another today, leaving everyone on the scene somewhat overwhelmed.

"What? Lola really was with Mr. Ralph?"

"Not only was she with Mr. Ralph, but she was also with Mr. Carlson, okay! Poor Mr. Zackary, he was cuckolded so many times!"

"After hearing Mr. Carlson's words, why do I feel more and more that Mr. Ralph was silenced by Lola?"

"I had the same feeling! It must have been that Mr. Ralph, feeling deceived and humiliated, wanted to expose the scandalous things Lola had done. She, driven into a corner, must have offed Mr. Ralph!"

"This woman was too terrifying! Not only was she shameless, but also ruthless! She was simply a hundred times more detestable than that Pennie!"

***

The surrounding chatter became increasingly harsh, Lola's legs went weak, she could barely stand.

There were so many unexpected things today, who could have thought that another Timothy would appear halfway through!

Fortunately, when she was with Timothy in the past, she didn't lose her head and agree to take intimate photos with him. In fact, they didn't even have a group photo. Otherwise, if he had brought out the photos, she really wouldn't have been able to clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River!

"Hey, Lola, I asked you a question!"

Timothy's voice, filled with obvious amusement, echoed in the air again, "You see, I'm a person with a particularly strong curiosity. If there's something I don't understand, I can't sleep at night. Lola, this question has puzzled me for a long time, could you please explain it to me?"

"The same car, the same accident, you only got minor injuries, but Ralph died on the spot. It just doesn't seem scientific! Tell me, after the accident, was that fool still alive, and you killed him?!"
