Chapter 464 The Video in the Dungeon, Found!
Details...
Lola's teeth were chattering in fear. If Timothy really revealed those details, she, Lola, would be utterly ruined!
She knew, Timothy was not teasing her, he would really say it.
He, as a person, has always loved to play and make a fuss. As one of the most famous prodigals in Sea City, he didn't find revealing such secrets embarrassing, but rather amusing.
"Timothy!"
Zackary's voice, devoid of any warmth, suddenly echoed in the air.
His voice was not loud, but it carried an invisible pressure, along with a strong warning.
It seemed as if he would tear Timothy into a thousand pieces if he dared to spout nonsense again.
Timothy was quite brave, but upon hearing Zackary's voice, his small frame couldn't help but tremble.
However, as a debonair playboy, he couldn't appear too timid or scared. He laughed so hard that he was shaking, and even winked at Zackary, "Mr. Zackary, have you missed me? Or, have you worn this green hat so much that it's giving you a headache?"
"Timothy, apologize to Lola!"
Zackary remained seated, gripping Lola's hand tightly, turning around, and staring coldly at Timothy, who had already half risen from his seat.
Since Timothy was half-standing, he appeared much taller at that moment, but as Zackary stared at him, there was still a sense of looking down on him.
"Mr. Zackary, what you said was really interesting!"
Timothy continued to laugh, "What did I do wrong that I need to apologize to Lola? On the contrary, it's her who caused the death of Ralph, who foolishly worked like a horse and ox for her. Shouldn't she be the one to apologize?!"
"Lola couldn't possibly have done such a thing! It was Ralph who kidnapped Lola, attempting to put her in mortal danger!"
Feeling Lola's tremble, Zackary tightened his grip on her hand a bit more, "I trust Lola! Lola is my woman, I, Zackary, will protect and love her for a lifetime. Anyone who dares to slander her will be considered my enemy!"
Zackary lifted his eyelids coolly and indifferently, exuding a lazy yet superior nobility, "What, Timothy, is this how you want to be my enemy, Zackary?!"
"I..."
Timothy really despised Lola, this vicious and hypocritical white lotus, but he truly didn't have the guts to make an enemy of Zackary.
Carlson family's company has been developing well in recent years, but compared to the Spencer Group, it's hardly worth mentioning.
If his old man knew that he dared to be an enemy of the famous Mr. Zackary, getting his legs broken when he got home would be the least of his worries!
Timothy silently apologized to his friend Lyman in his heart. He really wanted to stand up for his friend just now, but Mr. Zackary was really too scary, so he could only stand up halfway.
Seeing that things had finally calmed down on Timothy's side, Zackary slowly turned his face again, staring expressionlessly at Kemp standing on the stage.
"Well, Mr. Kemp, you're quite the storyteller. It's a real pity you're not a screenwriter!"
"I didn't care if you were locked in the dungeon by Ralph for four years, but Lola couldn't possibly have kept Penelope in the dungeon for four years!"
"I know what kind of person Lola is better than anyone else! I, Zackary's woman, am not someone who can be slandered casually! Mr. Kemp, I don't care who you are slandering Lola for today, but from now on, if you dare to say a word against my Lola, I, Zackary, will not share the same sky with you!"
Kemp furrowed his brow, his handsome face, cold as jade, was further shrouded in layers of frost.
He really hadn't expected that, even after he had made himself so clear, Zackary would still stand by Lola without any hesitation.
He hooked his lips, laughing at himself mockingly, his pitch-black eyes filled with an unshakeable pain.
Penny, did you see? This is the man you devoted your whole life to love, the man for whom you risked your life to bear children. Loving him, it's really not worth it!
Kemp's fists clenched so tightly that they creaked. He really wanted to rush up and smash Zackary's blockhead to see what was inside, but he knew clearly that if he fought Zackary to the death today, the person who would suffer the most would still be Penelope.
He didn't want to make his beloved girl feel so embarrassed.
So, he didn't rush down to lecture Zackary, but just sneered, "Mr. Zackary really cherishes his fiancée! Hopefully, Mr. Zackary can always be this blindly faithful to his fiancée!"
During this period, Kemp had been relentlessly searching for the person who had filmed the video in the dungeon years ago. He discovered that there was a force trying to kill that person.
Clearly, that force was related to Lola.
That person was best at counter-tracking, neither he nor Lola's people had caught him yet.
However, his subordinates had roughly pinpointed the location of that person. It would only be a matter of a few days before they could apprehend him.
Wasn't Zackary completely trusting of Lola? When he got the video from the dungeon and it was thrown in his face, he wanted to see how he could still believe in his beloved fiancée!
Zackary's gaze coldly swept across Kemp's face, his eyes obscure and unclear. He could hear the obvious sarcasm in Kemp's words, but he couldn't be bothered to care at the moment.
He only wished that Lola, who had selflessly fought for him twice, would not be wronged again.
"Zackary, do you really believe me?" Lola sobbed, speaking softly to Zackary.
"Lola, I believed in you!"
Saying so, Zackary surprisingly pulled her along, step by step, up to the high platform.
He took the microphone handed over by the staff, and began to speak word by word, "Today, misled by some ill-intentioned people, many of you here have spoken ill of Lola. I will not hold today's incident against anyone."
"Let me repeat, in the future, if anyone dares to say a word against Lola, or dares to harm her in any way, they will be my enemy, Zackary. I will not share the same sky with them!"
After saying this, Zackary took Lola's hand and headed straight for the exit of the venue.
Watching Zackary and Lola's hands tightly clasped together, Cornelia was so angry that she exploded, and Isabella was even more furious, almost taking off her high heels to directly smash Lola's face.
They had been speculating for four years about where Penelope might have gone. No one had imagined that she had actually been locked in a dungeon for those four years.
Ethan, surely, was also born in the dungeon.
Those four years, merely a thing of the past, were lightly touched upon. Yet, for Penelope, every minute and second was endured painstakingly. How much suffering had she actually endured?
Cornelia's eyes were rimmed with red as she tightly gripped the hand of Penelope, who was sitting next to her. "Penelope, you were locked in the dungeon by Lola for four years, why didn't you tell me?! I could have stood up for you!"
Penelope lowered her eyelids halfway, speaking in a casual tone, "Aunt Cornelia, it's all in the past."
Yes, it's all in the past now.
She had endured all those hardships. The most ridiculous part was that almost everyone believed that she had been locked in the dungeon by Lola, except for Zackary. He didn't believe it.
A pang shot through Penelope's heart, and she once again forced a self-mocking smile onto her face.
This was quite good, the scumbag being deceived by the innocent woman for a lifetime, how great was that.
The farce ended, Kemp saw off the guests. He was about to go to the police station to push for a heavier punishment for Pennie, when he received a call from Jaxson.
The man who filmed in the dungeon has been found!
