Chapter 208 Alice Ruined Jacob's Life

Anthony's slap left everyone in utter shock.

The crisp, resounding smack pierced through the air of the hotel lobby.

What... What?

A member of the Nevilles was publicly humiliated?

And Anthony struck him instead of standing up for him?

Liam, who had been waiting eagerly to watch Robin's downfall, found himself utterly confused.

He'd never dealt directly with the higher ranks of the Nevilles and had no clue what kind of methods this powerful family might employ. This certainly wasn't what he had expected to happen.

Liam tried to reason tentatively, "Mr. Anthony, Mr. Jacob was only trying to maintain order at the auction ..."

Anthony remained silent as two men from the Nevilles immediately shoved Liam aside.

Anthony pointed at Jacob. "You fool! What gave you the right to call this invitation fake without verifying it through the reader?

"The Nevilles don't operate with such brashness and lack of respect!"

He then directed his icy glare toward the eight attendants in the hall. "Slap their faces."

Instantly, all eight of the beautiful attendants were slapped by the Nevilles' men. Their faces were bloodied.

At first, Jacob couldn't understand Anthony's fury.

Then, he began to suspect he might have made a grave error as he nervously glanced at the invitation in Anthony's hand.

"Mr. Anthony, I... I didn't recognize the pattern on the invitation card ... " Jacob stammered.

Anthony shook his head in frustration. "Does ignorance justify your actions? You judged someone by appearance and acted so thoughtlessly without verifying it. The Nevilles never tolerate such behavior!" Alice was equally stunned.

Never had she expected Anthony to rebuke Jacob instead of going after Robin.

The situation left her feeling unfair.

In her mind, it should be Robin groveling before Anthony instead of Jacob.

Did Mr. Anthony make a mistake?

"Mr. Anthony, you might be mistaken about Mr. Jacob. That premium invitation doesn't match ours. Both Mr. Liam and Mr. Jacob thought it was a fake ... "Alice couldn't help but try to defend Jacob. The entire hall fell silent, and everyone shifted their gaze to Alice, holding their breath for what might happen next.

How could she be so reckless as to speak up now? Isn't she scared of the consequences?

Jacob wanted nothing more than to silence her, realizing that her words were only adding fuel to Anthony's anger.

Hearing Alice's remark, Liam wanted to strangle her.

He considered stepping forward to explain, but he couldn't find the words to do that.

His only thought now was to slip away silently.

Even a fool could see that Anthony was practically ready to kill Jacob over that invitation card.
