Life at The Top novel Chapter 444

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 she could say to refute Anna.

Anna had managed to corner Lisa from all sides.

She looked to Erik hopelessly, hoping her boyfriend could help her.

However, she only saw the man staring at the cutleries before him as if he 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 him 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 she looked at Anna’s calm expression as well as Henry’s mocking one. It was at that moment Lisa knew that she had pushed herself into the abyss.

Fear, regret, indignation, and anger surged within her, overwhelming Lisa and causing her 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 her to the hospital to get her checked.”

“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 he 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 him 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 he whispered, “What are you thinking?”

Ian looked intently at Norman and replied deeply, “What, so you’re just going to move on and let him get away with it?”

Norman’s eyes were filled with heartbreak and fury as he glanced at his daughter who had completely broken down. With clenched teeth, he agreed. “Tell me your plan, then!”
