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.”
