No one stopped Henry from slapping and kicking Lisa.
Even Norman himself could do nothing but suppress his heartache and fury.
After all, Lisa was the one who said the wrong things first, and Harbor City’s top-notch aristocrats were right in front of him. Norman had neither the qualification nor the guts to go against Zachary.
Though when he noticed that Henry was planning to kick her a few more times, Norman had no choice but to step in regardless of his fear of the Laws.
He stepped in front of Henry and begged for leniency with a smile on his face, saying, “Calm down, Mr. Law. Calm down. My daughter doesn’t think before she speaks. Don’t argue with the likes of her.
“It’s a great day today, let’s not ruin our moods for trivial matters like this, shall we? I will apologize on behalf of my daughter.”
When Henry saw how Norman was relentlessly apologizing, he sneered and said, “If your daughter was half as smart as you, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point either.”
Norman gritted his teeth in secret. The anger in his heart was boiling, but the smile on his face remained. “Please forgive my daughter, Mr. Law. Look, why don’t we all go in first?”
Henry narrowed his eyes a little unwillingly. He had planned to use this opportunity to teach Lisa a lesson.
Henry had done many evil deeds since childhood, hence it was impossible for him to feel sorry for a girl, let alone appreciate her.
When fury tore through him, he did not care who the other party was and would hurl punches first thing itself.
What was more, Lisa had provoked and annoyed him over and over again.
Henry had tolerated her for a really long time now.
Just as everyone thought that this was all over, Imperial Ballroom’s door opened.
Jasper and Anna walked out while talking and laughing.
“Why are you guys standing here and not going in?” Jasper swept his gaze across the scene and could roughly guess what was going on. Yet, he still asked the obvious.
When Lisa saw Jasper, her eyes turned scarlet.
In her opinion, Jasper was the culprit for all the things that had happened.
If it were not for Jasper, she and her cousin would not have provoked Henry, let alone be dragged into this series of events.
Now, her cousin was lying in the hospital unconscious while she was humiliated in public. Even her father was insulted by Henry.
Jasper was the culprit of all these things!
When she saw how intimate Jasper and Anna were, Lisa stood up immediately and screamed at Jasper’s face, “Jasper Laine! Why are you still flirting with Anna when you’re already dating Wendy? What kind of a man are you?”
Jasper frowned slightly, staring at the wretched-looking Lisa who had gone insane. He said indifferently, “Ms. Gardner, I don’t think you should attend the banquet tonight in this state. I don’t want you to startle both old masters or you’ll be committing a huge sin.”
Lisa sneered. She pushed away Norman whose face had changed as he made attempts to stop her. She screamed, “Stop pretending! Do you think I don’t know that you’re seducing women to climb the social ladder?
“You approached Wendy in Mainland and Anna in Harbor City, both of whom are daughters of aristocrats. You’re pretty smart, aren’t you?!
“I feel sick to the stomach when I see shameless men like you. Who are you trying to show, acting as if you’re morally better than other people?
“When a woman has fallen, we call her a loose woman. Do we have a term for a fallen man? A loose man?”
Lisa’s sharp and maniacal voice reverberated throughout Imperial Ballroom’s corridor.
Everyone fell silent.
Even Henry was staring at Lisa as though she had gone crazy.
