Chapter 436

InterContinental Hotel had been operating for nearly a decade now and had received a lot of big shots
in the past, but never had anyone booked the entire hotel for an entire day.

This was not just a question of money, but a question of status and identity.

At this moment, both the Gardners and Hulls felt a mixture of emotions.

Norman and Ian exchanged glances with each other, noticing the regret and unease from each other’s
faces.

When they received the invitation today, they had been so frightened that they nearly ran away from
Swallow Capital.

That invitation was sent by Old Master Law himself!

If this invitation had come some other time, then it would no doubt be a great honor. Even the invitation
card would be worth being framed and mounted to the wall.

Now was not the time, though!

The Turners and the Laws, both representing the local faction and Harbor City’s business group, were
currently fighting each other!

All the other magnates had hidden for fear that they would suffer, not to mention both of them who were
only a tad bit bigger than a shrimp at best!

“Sigh, we really shouldn’t have meddled in this in the first place.”

In the elevator, Norman sighed with an obscure expression.



Norman felt a deep sense of powerlessness when faced with the two behemoths, the Turners and the
Laws. He did not have the slightest courage to go against them at all.

However, now that he had chosen to stand with the Turners, Norman simply had no idea how he was
going to respond to the banquet invitation.

“It’s too late for that.” Ian was calmer than Norman.

“Whatever happens later during the banquet, we will both remain transparent. Don’t make your stance
easily no matter what both parties say later!”

After hearing what Ian said, Lisa said nonchalantly, “You’re making a fuss, Uncle Ian. The Laws
must’ve deemed us worthy and that’s why they sent us an invitation. There’s no need to be so careful
around them.

“Besides, you know how close I am to Erik. The Turners won’t just stand on the sidelines and watch the
Laws bully us.”

Lisa’s words made Ian frown. He said flatly, “If the other party is really afraid of the Turners, then Ben
wouldn’t be lying in the hospital right now.”

When he mentioned that Ben was currently lying in the hospital, Lisa’s expression sank. The fury in her
eyes flashed as she gritted her teeth and said, “Ben is injured and I won’t let this matter drop so easily!”

As she spoke, the elevator door opened.

They were swept by a tense atmosphere.

Norman, Ian, and Lisa looked up and saw Erik and Brad confronting Henry and Zachary.



Although they had no idea what had just happened, everyone present on the scene was no fools and
could easily tell that the air hovering over their heads was extremely tense.

“Erik!” Lisa called out to him, eager to show everyone that she shared a unique relationship with Erik.
She rushed up to Erik and took his arm, asking softly, “Are you okay? ”

Erik was extremely annoyed, but he found it inappropriate to remove Lisa’s hands in front of Norman
and Ian, hence he said with a cold expression, “I’m fine. I just bumped into an annoying man, that’s all.”

Lisa turned to look at Henry and sneered, “Look, you invited us and we came. Is this how you treat your
guests? By blocking them at the door?”

Henry glanced at Lisa. “Shut your stupid mouth, witch. Know your place. Who says it’s your turn to
talk?”

Lisa’s face changed abruptly. With the Turners as well as her elders around, Lisa was filled with a
surge of confidence that she had never experienced before. She said at once, “The Laws invited me,
so why can’t I speak?

“Your grandfather sent the invitation, so who are you to criticize me? You’d better stop putting on airs
and talk to me nicely. Otherwise, when I see your grandfather later, I’ll ask him what went wrong with
his family education!”

As soon as she said those words, the expression of everyone on the scene changed abruptly.

Especially Noman and Ian. They knew that Lisa was in trouble and were eager to cover her mouth.

Was this the kind of thing that one could say casually?

Even Erik and Brad looked at Lisa as though she was an idiot.



Brad, especially. In order to gain support from Norman’s Haddock Chamber of Commerce, he had even
planned to make Lisa his daughter-in-law, but right now, it seemed like this woman was too risky to be
married into the family.

Zachary looked at Lisa. Judging from his status and identity, nothing Lisa said could infuriate him, let
alone make him strike or lecture her himself.

That did not mean that Zachary could tolerate it when Lisa insulted the Laws.

“There’s something wrong with the Laws’ family education? I suppose the Gardners have really good
family education then?” Zachary asked mildly, looking at Norman.

Norman’s complexion paled abruptly. He had already grown accustomed to all kinds of storms out
there, yet even so, his legs still continued to shake and quiver.

“I can explain, Mr. Law. I’ve failed to discipline this young lady. I will teach her a lesson right away. I
kindly ask you to let this matter drop. Take no offense at a child’s babble—”

Before Norman could finish his sentence, Lisa said loudly, “You don’t need to apologize, Dad. Do you
remember how Henry treated us when he came to our house? He infuriated you so much and nearly
put you in the hospital. He’s even more arrogant out there!

“Since the Laws’ elders are here today, I will say it!”

Henry narrowed his eyes at Lisa and asked, “I’m arrogant? How?”

Having said that, Henry raised his hand and struck Lisa’s face without warning.

The slap came down so hard that half of Lisa’s face nearly twisted out of shape.

There was a loud and crisp sound, followed by Lisa’s ear-piercing scream.



Henry stared at Lisa and said coldly, “You witch! Do you really think I won’t drag you to the back of the
mountain and bury you alive, huh? You think I won’t lay a finger on you just because your father and
Erik are here?”

After the slap, there were strings of blood hanging on the corner of Lisa’s mouth. She covered her face,
her head ringing. Under the tremendous humiliation and pain, she felt as though she was about to go
crazy.

“You’re hitting me again, Henry Law? Are you going to put me in the hospital after hitting my cousin?”

“You witch! I guess you’re not that dumb after all!”

Henry lifted his leg and kicked Lisa’s stomach, cursing and roaring, “I don’t usually hit women. But
you’re really something, aren’t you? You forced me to make this exception for once. Motherf*cker, how
dare you say that the Laws are uneducated?”
