Chapter 58: Beating up
"Guards! Where are the security guards?"
"Someone is hitting on somebody!"
The few people who used to be brown-nosing towards Norton Leif immediately shouted.
The commotion in that place had turned quite loud.
It indeed had attracted the attention of the entire banquet hall.
At the moment, a few hotel staff in suits showed up at the place.
"This brat hit him for no reason!"
"He hit Norton Leif, member of the Leif family! He is so arrogant!"
"He is dressing something off-the-rack. We highly doubt that he sneaks in here!"
Those lackeys stated.
"This gentleman, please show me your invitation letter."
A hotel manager looked towards Jacob Reyes, and his expression was serious.
The place was the venue for the gala dinner event of Riverside University. Most of the guests were
either high-ranking officials of Riverside City or outstanding graduates from Riverside University.
If an unknown person really managed to get in and even hit a billionaire like Norton Leif, it would
definitely be a dereliction of duty on their part.
Riverside University would blame the hotel for it.
"I didn't bring the invitation letter!"
Jacob frowned slightly.
It wasn't that he didn't have it, but in fact, he didn't bring it.
Tex Tang, the Headmaster of Riverside University, visited Jacob and sent the invitation letter to him
personally. He just took a casual glance and left it at home, not even bothering with it.
Jacob was only concentrating on his cultivation. He just came over straight from his cultivation. How
could he have brought the invitation letter with him?
"You didn’t bring it with you, or maybe you don’t even have one, huh?"
One of Norton’s lackeys looked at Jacob and sneered.
Jacob glanced at him slightly. He hated this kind of person that was always flattering someone by Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
bothering others.
"This gentleman, if you don't have an invitation letter with you, you can't come in here." The leading
hotel manager said with apologies out of his professional courtesy. But still, a touch of contempt
flickered in his eyes.
He had no other choices. Everyone who joined the gala dinner event was either rich or noble and was
dressing in bright and shiny clothes. Only Jacob was wearing a set of cheap clothes. He couldn't be
one of these elite people from the upper-class, and even couldn't possibly be qualified to get invited by
Riverside University.
Seeing this scene, Norton finally felt a little better.
Jacob had made him look foolish previously. Now he was going to embarrass Jacob as well.
"How possibly he could have an invitation letter? He must have gotten in under a family member of
Kaley."
Norton gnashed his teeth and said.
Getting an invitation letter from Riverside University was not hard, but there was still a considerable
threshold. You must either came from a noble background, or were in a high ranking position, or were a
very outstanding and representative elite graduate as recognized by the school.
As for these conditions, Kaley Harris could fulfill them all.
Jacob, who was Kaley's husband, on the contrary, couldn't satisfy any of them.
From Norton's point of view, this wastrel must have gotten in by relying on the identity of Kaley's
husband.
After all, there was no restriction on bringing a partner to this dinner event.
"The name Kaley, do you even deserve to call it? Look like the lesson given to you wasn't enough!"
Jacob smiled sardonically.
When Norton saw Jacob's smile, he shivered in fright and quickly took two steps backward.
"This gentleman, I must remind you that violence is not allowed in the hotel! Otherwise, we will take the
offender down and submit him to the public security authorities by the law."
The hotel manager looked very serious.
Jacob gave him a faint glance. "Don't worry!"
Jacob looked towards Norton with a smile and said, "The lesson I gave you wasn't enough. It's my
mistake. Don't worry. I'll make it up to you!"
Jacob had a malicious smirk.
"You ...... What are you going to do?" Although Norton was so angry that he wanted to rip off Jacob’s
skin, Jacob's expression just now was too frightening. And being stared again by him, Norton was
terrified inside.
"Me? What can I do? And what would I dare to do?" Jacob sneered. "You should ask them instead,
what they are trying to do."
Jacob nuzzled his mouth and instructed Norton to look over those lackeys around him.
Norton subconsciously looked over.
Those rich kids, who had always been flattering Norton, were now staring at him furiously.
Norton had a bad feeling about this.
"What's wrong with you, guys?" Norton asked.
However, his answer was a fist.
Bang!
Norton’s right eye got a punch.
"Ouch!!!" Norton screamed, feeling severe pain in his eye.
As he just screamed, another fist slammed down on his left eye socket abruptly.
Instantly, his screams became even more miserable.
Norton felt intense pain as his cheeks were slapped so hard that they almost oozed blood. Without any
relief yet, they hit his eyes again. He was in sharp pain.
"I'll kill you!"
"I'll kill you!"
Norton's sidekicks said dully.
Although their tone and looks were a bit dull, their movements were still very flexible.
Punch after punch, kick after kick, all landed on Norton's body.
"What the heck are you guys doing?" Norton was furious.
However, the angrier he became, the more violent they punched and kicked him.
Those lackeys were only repeating, "I'll kill you" "I'll kill you", nonstop.
This turn of events once again stunned the crowd.
What was going on here?
How came Norton’s flunkies seemed like different persons. They didn't protect him anymore but instead
giving their best shot thumping him.
"See, it has nothing to do with me." Jacob looked at the hotel manager and smiled slightly.
The hotel manager widened his eyes.
He wasn't a fool.
He would never believe that this had nothing to do with Jacob at all.
However, he didn't say anything.
Since his arrival, Jacob had just said a few words, and yet he hadn't had a single move.
"Separate them!" The hotel manager reacted and immediately instructed the security guards behind
him.
Those guards then rushed up and contained those who were violently beating Norton.
At that moment, those few people seemed to have regained consciousness.
They yelled as they saw themselves arrested by the guards, "That bastard is the culprit! Why did you
arrest us?"
But then, those people recalled what they had just done.
They were stunned with fear all over their faces.
They had assaulted Norton Leif!
These small families were all relying on the Leif family. And now they had beaten the Leif family's
young master. What had they done?
When they realized that Norton was shooting them an indignant look, their bodies trembled.
"Your name is Norton Leif? Don’t have your thoughts on my girl again! Never ever call Kaley by that
name. You don't deserve it. Got it?"
Jacob looked at Norton and said with an icy cold voice.
"You little bastard. Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
Norton was going crazy at the point.
"You're just a matrilocal son-in-law. How dare you to offend me? I guess you don't know that your wife's
company is about to be finished!" This time, Norton didn't say out Kaley's name again but instead
called her differently. "We, the Leif family, are the leading leader of the cosmetics industry in Riverside
City. You have offended me. Now your family company can wait for a bankruptcy."
Norton smiled sardonically.
"Not only me, the Hansen family, the Bell family, and also other significant cosmetics companies in
Riverside City… Don't ever think of cooperating with them again! Your company will collapse!"
His face became hideous as he spoke.
For today, Norton was humiliated totally. He was no longer able to care about his identity and
gentlemanly behaviors anymore.
"Oh?" Jacob smiled at Norton, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, affirmative! The Harris family company is doomed! As the Harris family collapses, you're
nothing anymore!" Norton stared at Jacob.
He swore that he would have Jacob assassinated!
It would never relieve the hatred in Norton's heart without killing Jacob.
Then, he would have Kaley come begging him to show mercy to her company in exchange of her body!
"I'm afraid that I'm disappointing you!" Jacob smiled slightly.
Norton was stunned.
Then, he heard a voice from the crowd of onlookers beside him.
"On behalf of the Hansen family, I announce that all cooperation with the Leif Family is severed!"
"On behalf of the Bell family, I have decided that we will have no more business with the Leif family
from now on!"
"On behalf of the Chinese Medicine Association in Riverside City, we will no longer have anything to do
with the Leif family!"
