Chapter 489 The Most Damned One, It Was Him, Zackary

Zackary abruptly turned his face, his sharp gaze unwaveringly locked onto Penelope's small face.

He also wanted to know why this heartless woman could be so malicious!

He also wanted to know, just how blind was he, Zackary, to have fallen in love with such a heartless and ungrateful woman!

"Penelope!"

Zackary's teeth were grinding, his words almost spat out one by one, "You deserve to die!"

"Yes, I deserve to die!" Penelope's eyes inexplicably stung a bit. The most damnable thing she had ever done in her life was to fall in love with him, Zackary.

"But Lola, she deserved to die even more! She hurt my Ethan, she tried to kill me over and over again, every single day, I wanted to tear her to pieces!"

"Today, I indeed couldn't kill Lola, but as long as I still have a breath left in me, I will absolutely not let her go! Before I, Penelope, die, I must send Lola to hell first!"

"Bang!"

Zackary harshly slapped Penelope across the face, and after doing so, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble.

Who, in this world, deserved to die the most?

The most damned one, was him, Zackary.

Knowing full well that this woman was venomous and unrepentant, he even witnessed her stabbing his lifesaver, Lola, with his own eyes. Yet, he still couldn't bring himself to truly hurt her. Striking her with a slap, his heart would ache as if it was being cut with a knife.

Penelope subconsciously covered her face, then slowly let go, feeling neither pain nor sorrow.

Anyway, no matter what happened, he would always unconditionally stand by Lola's side, she had already gotten used to it.

"Zackary, I hurt... I hurt so much..."

Lola's painful, weak voice continued, and Zackary knew that this time, no matter what, he should have made Penelope pay the price. But in the end, he still couldn't make her pay back a thousandfold.

But he just spoke to her coldly and with disgust, "Get out!"

Unable to kill Lola, Penelope was not content.

She still wanted to take another look at Ethan.

However, she knew in her heart that with Zackary around, and him being angry, she couldn't have her way in either of the two matters.

She could only think of other ways to see her Ethan, to see just how badly he was hurt.

The servant had called the private doctor, Penelope knew. She was aware that once the doctor arrived, Zackary would definitely have to accompany Lola for the treatment. She planned to take advantage of that time to search for her Ethan in the villa.

But Zackary didn't give her any chance to secretly meet Ethan at all. He ordered the servants to forcibly drive her out of the villa.

No sooner had Penelope been forcibly pushed out of the living room than Zackary, holding Lola, quickly headed for the upstairs guest room.

When he reached the staircase to the second floor, Zackary ultimately couldn't help but turn his face, taking a glance towards the direction of the living room entrance.

It was clear that Penelope was not willing to leave like this. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the grip of the servants. Her little face was flushed with urgency, especially because of the slap he had just given her, her right cheek looked particularly red.

Because her skin was exceptionally pale, the fingerprints appeared incredibly clear, indescribably startling.

A sharp pain started to clutch at Zackary's heart again, uncontrollably. He felt some regret, having impulsively slapped her in a fit of anger just now.

But thinking of how she had blatantly tried to kill someone just a while ago, and still showed no signs of remorse, Zackary's heart trembled with anger. Only an idiot would feel sorry for a woman with blood on her hands.

"It hurts... It hurts so much..."

Lola's weak voice echoed in the air again, and Zackary quickly turned his face, carrying her towards a guest room on the side.

Lola's face was fragile and helpless, but her heart was already filled with such deep hatred that it had twisted.

She had tumbled down from the second floor, her body covered in scrapes. She felt as if her ribs were about to break, and her shoulder had been viciously stabbed by Penelope.

She was so badly hurt by Penelope, she thought, Zackary should at least give her a hard time.

And the result?

It was just a slap, neither too light nor too heavy.

How could she have accepted this willingly!

What she hated even more was that, despite being so badly injured, looking like a bloody mess, he didn't carry her to his room, but merely took her to the guest room!

In his heart, she was never his beloved!

"Zackary, I feel so awful, am I going to die?"

Lola tried her best to act pitiful, hoping that he would suddenly change his mind and punish Penelope properly. However, he still had no intention of settling scores with her, but merely comforted her absentmindedly, "Lola, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Zackary, I was in so much pain, my head was spinning, I..."

"Lola, you were going to get better."

Because Ethan had been unwell recently, several private doctors stayed directly in the Silverybay Estates villa, and they quickly rushed over.

Lola still wanted to share her grievances with Zackary, but he had already handed her over to a private doctor and was quickly heading towards the door.

Samuel hurried over and stood guard outside the door.

Seeing the serious look on Zackary's face, he knew that he must have something to instruct.

He spoke nervously, "Boss, do you have any orders?"

"I didn't want today's matter to be spread around!"

Samuel knew that what Zackary meant was that many servants must have seen Penelope laying hands on Lola today. He didn't want this to get out and tarnish Penelope's image, let alone reach Dalton's ears, for fear that he might retaliate against Penelope.

Samuel surreptitiously observed his eldest brother. Despite his obvious care for Ms. Sullivan, why was he always so awkward, always showing his worst side to Ms. Sullivan?

Samuel was about to say something, to give his boss some advice, so as not to let him take too many detours in love, when he heard his voice again, cold and sharp as a knife, "How's the thing on the internet?"

"Boss, rest assured, those online comments saying Ms. Sullivan was the mistress who ruined Mr. Murray's family have all been taken down. Now, it's almost impossible to find any negative information about Ms. Sullivan on the internet."

"Mm-hmm."

Zackary responded expressionlessly, feeling considerably relieved at the thought that Penelope was no longer being insulted by netizens.

But when he thought about how he was actually worrying about a ruthless and wicked woman, his lips, which had just slightly lifted, tightened into a straight line again.

Upon hearing what Zackary and Samuel said, Lola was instantly infuriated.

Today, she suffered such a great loss, nearly lost her life, and he ended it by simply saying he didn't want today's incident to be spread?!

She designed twice, risked her life for him, yet how could she not warm his heart!

No!

She would definitely suffer a silent loss for nothing!

She clenched the phone in her hand and quietly sent a text message to the maid she had bribed at Silverybay Estates.

"Find a way to let my dad know about today's events!"

Didn't he want to keep today's matter a secret, all to protect Penelope?

Good! Then she made Penelope pay a more terrible price!
