Lola was completely disheartened and went berserk. She glared at Lena furiously like a livid wild cat, wanting to pounce on her and tear her into pieces…
"Forget it, Lola, let's go home. It's just not our lucky day today, " Alia accepted the reality of the situation and tried to coax her daughter into leaving. "We will have plenty of opportunities in the future. We'll be back again next time!"
"That's right, Mrs. Stayton. Let's head off first… "
Smack!
Before Wenoma could complete his sentence, a tight slap from Lola landed on his face.
Everyone was shocked, including the other bodyguards from the Stayton family.
Wenoma was Harry's most trusted subordinate; the two men had grown up together. The man was considered half a Stayton. As such, not to mention the rest of the subordinates and servants in the Stayton family, even Harry and his parents had never reprimanded Wenoma before.
As such, it came as a shock that Lola had slapped him in front of everyone.
That was a huge taboo!
"Are you crazy?" Alia widened her eyes, looking stunned beyond comprehension. "How can you lose your composure so easily over such a small matter… "
"Mom, stay out of it!" Lola bellowed and pointed at Wenoma. "If you didn't pull me back, I wouldn't have made a fool out of myself! You lowly bastard, I'll definitely ask Harry to fire you!"
The man lowered his head and kept quiet, but a frosty glint had appeared in his chilling eyes…
"This child! You'll be the death of… "
Alia was shaking with exasperation and was about to scold Lola.
Just then, Lena walked over with that pink diamond ring, "Beloved." Beaming brightly, she said provocatively, "What's this? You're taking out on a subordinate because you couldn't afford it? Lola, if I were you, I would have already dug a hole and hid in it. Look at you; you're such an embarrassment! I bet Harry left early the event because he couldn't stand you."
"Shut up!" Lola yelled through gritted teeth. "Lena Brown, you're just an old hag no one wants to marry. I don't understand how you can be so smug!"
"Well, I'm still better than you even though I'm single, " the other woman sneered. "Even though you had married Harry, so what? He doesn't love you at all. His eyes were not even on you right from the start of tonight's event. He only feels disgust and contempt for you. If my guesses are correct, he doesn't even want to sleep with you… "
"You… " Lola was trembling with rage and reached forward to give Lena a tight slap.
Smack! The latter was unable to dodge in time; a red mark appeared on her face instantly. At the same time, the pink diamond ring fell out of her hands and was soon nowhere to be seen…
"Woah!"
Gasps of shock could be heard from the rest of the guests as they witnessed the show.
No one had expected Lola to have the audacity to slap Lena in front of so many people.
Everyone knew that the Brown family was catching up with the Stayton family to become the next richest family!
Harry was well aware of that fact, so he treated the Browns with respect when it came to business dealings. However, all his efforts came to naught because of what Lola had done!
"Lola Whyte, how dare you hit me!" Lena was shaking with fury.
"Miss Brown, please calm down. Lola acted on impulse and made a foolish mistake. Please allow me to apologize to you on her behalf… "
Alia immediately stepped forward to apologize, but Lena could not hear a single word of what she was saying. At a wave of the woman's hand, two bodyguards stepped forward at once and held Lola down.
"What are you trying to do? You dare lay a finger on me?" Lola yelled arrogantly. "My husband is Harry Stayton!"
"How arrogant!"
A cold voice reverberated throughout the hall, and everyone quietened down at once.
Zayn had returned with Carla, just in time to watch the good show.
The woman sensed that everything that happened that night seemed to be targeted at Alia and Lola. Could it be that… someone had deliberately arranged for it?
Everyone moved aside to clear up a path for Zayn.
The man moved forward slowly, and just like the Fates, who were in charge of assigning individual destinies to mortals at birth, he said, "You must have quite the nerve to stir up trouble at my function!"
His piercing stare was so overpowering that made it difficult for anyone to breathe.
Lola was trembling in fear, not daring to utter a single word.
