If he put their grudges aside, Lisa impressed him, actually.
She must have a death wish to speak to Jasper like that.
The last person who spoke to Jasper like that was probably buried in a grave with grass that was three feet high by now, right?
Lisa seemed to have gone all out.
She cared for nothing and pointed at Anna, saying, “Do you think this man is really that outstanding? It’s all just for show!
“I’m sure you don’t know this, but he’s dating another woman other than you and her name is Wendy Schuler! You? You’re just a spare!”
Lisa’s face was filled with maniacal resentment and thrill. It seemed as though she would never grow tired of smearing Jasper’s name.
“How ridiculous! I can’t believe that you, the Laws’ daughter, actually got deceived by a man from the Mainland and don’t even know you’re an intruder in someone else’s relationship. Don’t you feel embarrassed at all?”
Norman’s face was ashen, and even Ian looked ghastly pale.
They knew that this was all over now.
Anna looked calm. There was a bone-piercingly cold frost in the depths of her eyes.
“Are you a dead man, Henry?” Anna said faintly.
Henry quivered and pushed Norman away without a word, choking Lisa by the throat while sneering, “You really know how to seek your own doom.”
Knowing that things were going in the wrong direction, Norman pounced forward and yelled, “Don’t, Mr. Law! Please don’t. Stop for my sake.”
Henry pushed Norman away and sneered, “Do it for your sake? Who do you think you are? If you have the energy to beg me for mercy, why didn’t you use it to educate your daughter properly instead?”
Suddenly, Erik spoke, “Know when to stop, Henry.”
Henry turned around while narrowing his eyes, looking Erik up and down. He then grinned from ear to ear. “Are you trying to defend her?”
Erik’s mouth began twitching. He had no intention of intervening actually, but his father Brad gave him a look just now so he had no choice but to step forward.
“The Laws are the host for this banquet tonight and we’re just your guests. As the host, I think it’s a little too much for you to beat your guest. If you have anything to say, we can always talk after our meal, don’t you think? The old masters are waiting,” Erik said.
Henry sneered and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Why should I wait just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?”
Erik’s expression sank. He was infuriated. Staring coldly at Henry, he said, “Our elders are here, it’s not your place to teach me what to do!”
Henry was just about to retort when Jasper walked up and patted him on the shoulder, beckoning him to let go.
Although Henry was displeased, he was willing to listen to Jasper and let go of Lisa’s neck.
However, only seconds after Henry let go of her, a slap landed on Lisa’s face.
Jasper was the one who hit her.
Lisa cried out. Henry had slapped the left side of her cheek, and now Jasper slapped the right side of her cheek. All of a sudden, her face was so red and swollen that it looked like a pig. Her gaze when she glared at Jasper was vicious.
At the sight of Jasper’s cold eyes, however, Lisa was forced to swallow her resentment back in.
“This slap is to stop you from saying nonsense,” Jasper said flatly.
Having said that, he did not spare Lisa another glance at all and turned around to say to Zachary and Brad, “It’s almost time. Why don’t we enter the Imperial Ballroom first?”
