Norman immediately slapped Lisa across the face when he heard.
Norman had slapped her harshly, forsaking all public image.
Lisa shouted in pain and fell to the ground with a hand cupping her cheek. Her cheek immediately reddened and bumped up, and she looked rather pitiful.
“I already warned you a long time ago that no matter what conflicts there are, it’s still between ourselves. It cannot involve what’s important.”
“The Teo and Haddock Chamber of Commerce have had decades of history, ever since Old Master Hurlbutt. We’re mortal enemies! How dare you endanger something so important!”
Norman pointed at Lisa and scolded her angrily.
“Get lost, right now! This isn’t over, I’ll deal with you when I get back later!”
Norman then walked over to Jasper and bowed deeply after he was done scolding her. “This is my ignorant daughter’s fault, Jasper. Thank goodness you stopped her in time before she made a horrible mistake. I’m sorry, and thank you.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and looked at Norman as if trying to see through the man with his calm and unfazed gaze.
Norman’s expression was calm as if he had spoken his genuine thoughts just now. There was no deception in the man’s face.
Jasper did not say anything and Norman did not move from his bow.
The conference room fell silent, less Lisa’s soft sobs.
Other than that, it was terrifyingly silent.
