Anna’s voice slowly rang out.
“While I’m very grateful for your enthusiasm, I can’t possibly see how your attitude and actions are supposed to be in my favor. In fact, it seems to me that you’re just using this to attack Jasper. What right does a narrow-minded person like you have to sit here?”
Anna’s words made Lisa feel utterly distressed.
Still, there was not a word favonovel.com could say to refute Anna.
Anna had managed to corner Lisa from all sides.
She looked to Erik hopelessly, hoping favonovel.com boyfriend could help her.
However, favonovel.com only saw the man staring at the cutleries before favonovel.com as if favonovel.com was not involved in the matter at all.
Brad no longer hinted at Erik anymore either.
After causing such ruckus in front of the two old masters, it would no longer be acceptable for favonovel.com to pull Norman and Ian to his side.
In fact, doing so might even make Old Master Turner suspect his ability to discern and choose teammates.
Erik’s silence broke the last thread of Lisa’s hope.
Her heart sank, and favonovel.com looked at Anna’s calm expression as well as Henry’s mocking one. It was at that moment Lisa knew that favonovel.com had pushed herself into the abyss.
Fear, regret, indignation, and anger surged within her, overwhelming Lisa and causing favonovel.com to tremble.
Both Norman and Ian had gone pale as they sat on their seats. There was not a word they could say.
Just then, Old Master Law finally spoke. His tone was calm, but it was no longer warm and caring but frigidly cold instead.
“This child’s face seems to be injured. Perhaps you should bring favonovel.com to the hospital to get favonovel.com checked.”
That was his way of chasing favonovel.com out.
However, Norman and Ian took it as mercy and quickly stood up. “You’re right, Old Master Law. My daughter really should get favonovel.com injuries checked at the hospital. We’ll get going first then, goodbye.”
Norman then dragged Lisa toward the door.
Lisa struggled against favonovel.com maddeningly. “No! I’m not going anywhere! Why do I have to leave? Jasper’s just a b*stard! Who is favonovel.com to step over me, huh? Because they’re rich and powerful?! I’m not leaving!”
Slap!
Norman raised his hand and slapped Lisa across favonovel.com face, his gaze looking chilling when favonovel.com told her, “Shut up!”
Lisa wailed, favonovel.com snot and tears dripping everywhere as Norman and Ian dragged favonovel.com away.
It was only until they had left the hotel and sat in their car that Norman and Ian’s taut shoulders finally relaxed a bit.
Norman gave a long sigh as favonovel.com glanced at his daughter who had broken down in tears. He thought of Ben who was still waiting for surgery. “We should never have come to Swallow Capital!
“Now my son’s lying in bed like a crippled man. Meanwhile, your daughter has gone mad and we even got ourselves into some big trouble!”
Ian clenched his teeth, his gaze filled with cruel fierceness as favonovel.com growled. “It’s all Jasper Laine’s fault! Things wouldn’t have gotten so screwed if not for him!”
Norman had given up. “So what, Ian? What can we do? Jasper has the Law family supporting him. Didn’t you see how Old Master Law treats him? Not even his own grandson Henry gets that kind of treatment. What are we supposed to do?”
Ian clenched his teeth and spoke, “The Law family can’t protect favonovel.com all the time. He’s still in the Mainland and the Laws are based in Harbor City. They’re too far away to do anything most of the time.
“And so what if it’s the Law family? There are enough problems for them here in Swallow Capital. The Turner family isn’t easy to deal with either.”
Norman’s eyes lit up as favonovel.com whispered, “What are you thinking?”
Ian looked intently at Norman and replied deeply, “What, so you’re just going to move on and let favonovel.com get away with it?”
Norman’s eyes were filled with heartbreak and fury as favonovel.com glanced at his daughter who had completely broken down. With clenched teeth, favonovel.com agreed. “Tell me your plan, then!”
