Jacob was about to threaten Loraine when he was captivated by her beauty.
Loraine was not only as beautiful as Megan, but also had an air of unique and enticing elegance.
“Who are you to care who am I? You should focus on minding your woman,” Loraine snapped at Jacob.
“Aren't you a daredevil, Harold? Do you know how influential the Simmons family is in Norham? The two of you are courting death for offending Jacob. No one in the entire Norham can save you two now!”
Megan immediately threatened Harold and Loraine after witnessing how Jacob was stumped.
“That's right. If both of you know what's good for you, you should kneel before me at once and beg for my forgiveness while groveling at my feet. Otherwise, I'll instruct my men to end your lives!”
Jacob was forced to put on a tough exterior instead of admitting defeat since many people were watching them.
“Pfft! I guess you two are the only fools in this world who dare to ask Harold to grovel at your feet.”
Initially, Loraine was embarrassed because of the sanitary pads incident. However, she still laughed after listening to Jacob's amusing speech.
She eyed Jacob and Megan mockingly while continuing to guffaw.
I wonder if they will pee their pants in fright when they know this person standing before them is the revered God of War?
Soon, the commotion had attracted the attention of everyone present at the party.
Glen hurried over as well.
He gazed at Harold in perplexity when he returned to his daughter's side and saw her miserable condition. Then, he exclaimed when he saw Loraine, “M-Ms. Thompson, why are you here?”
He had visited the Thompson residence and queued to seek treatment for Louis' injuries in the past, so he recognized Loraine as Samuel's granddaughter.
When Glen saw Harold together with Loraine, he seemed to have understood why Louis had suddenly woken up.
He reckoned Samuel must have helped out because of Loraine.
“Dad, look at what the watchdog, Harold, did. He ruined our formal attires. You must make him apologize to us today!” Megan said to her father angrily when she sensed him attempting to side with Harold.
“But...”
Glen was caught in a difficult position.
Samuel was indeed powerful in Norham, but the scope of his influence was merely restricted to the medical field, unlike the Simmons family. Even Paradise Hotel had to make sure they were on friendly terms with the Simmons family.
Glen was afraid that Harold would be in deep trouble for offending Jacob under such circumstances.
Amidst Glen's dilemma, Jacob's father, Elias Simmons, had arrived at the scene.
“Jacob, what's going on?” Elias asked in a fury.
Due to Glen blocking his vision, he was only able to see Jacob and Megan's pathetic appearances and not Harold's face.
How is this brat supposed to win Megan's favor in that sorry state?
“Mr. Simmons, I think this is probably just a misunderstanding. Why don't we just look past this?” explained Glen as he hurriedly walked over. He was under the assumption that Elias was the person who had been secretly assisting the Zeller family.
“Mr. Zeller, how can we simply let this matter go since my son and your daughter were publicly humiliated? If we do not seek justice for them, they will become everyone's laughingstock!”
Elias thought Glen was trying to be polite and intending to let the Simmons family handle the situation while the Zeller family maintained their noble reputation.
At the same time, he also wanted to seize that opportunity to showcase his worth in front of the Zeller family, letting them know that the Simmons family regarded Megan with utmost importance and care.
