Simon remarked with an amused expression, “I will do my best to win the case if the defendant seeks


    my help and gives me their trust.”


    “I found something interesting.” chirped Cyrus, who crossed his legs and examined Simon in the


    manner


    he’d observe a suspect. “Your clientele appears to be quite rich. I assume you have your standards for


    selecting your clients.”


    “That’s not the case. I might be the person in charge of ourw firm, but I don’t own the firm. I need to


    pay


    my two shareholders and the ten or so attorneys working under me. Look, I don’t have a choice.”


    Simon


    ended his sentence with a troubled sigh.

    Ss, Cyrus, and Alyssa almost barfed at Simon’s hypocritical exnation. How could Simon and


    Sean.


    turn out so differently when they were both Spencer Lynch’s sons?


    “Simon is a top attorney in Sna City. He’s also a famous name across the country,” Sean broke his


    silence and snickered.


    He continued, “Two million dors-that was the lowest amount in legal fees you were paid this year


    among all your cases. The highest was 15 million dors. Those figures were only one source of your


    ie, not including themission fees from your attorneys.”


    The dining hall fell into an awkward silence. Winston and Spencer stopped talking and cast their


    nces


    at the children


    “Sean, my firm’s financial details and ie are private matters. It’s inappropriate to reveal them at


    this


    dinner, chided Simon. As he spoke, he identally pulled the wound on his cheek that he had covered


    up with foundation.


    “I’m just trying to prove that you, Simon Lynch, do not need money. You have enough savings for a


    lifetime and more,” Sean retorted with a chuckle, his eyes aze with anger. “I don’t understand why


    you’d take the Becketts’ case and go against Ms. Alyssa when money is not an issue for you.”


    Everyone gaped at Sean’s attack against his sibling. He had exposed Simon’s hypocrisy. Would the


    two


    turn into enemies?


    Alyssa, who had not taken a look at Sean that night, cast a stoic nce at him. She knew Sean was


    standing up for her, but she neither wanted nor needed him to do so.


    “Sean, you shouldn’t act out at this time! Let’s talk when we’re at home,” urged Steven, who tugged at


    Sean’s hand beneath the table while sweating nervously.


    However, Sean did not intend to go easy on Simon, judging from the steely expression on his face.


    Meanwhile, Simon had lost hisposure, and his face contorted into a pale scowl.


    “Sean, watch your mouth!” Spencer hissed at his youngest before smiling apologetically at Winston.


    Forgive me, Mr. Taylor. I didn’t teach my boys well. Sorry for that.”


    “Don’t fret about it.” Winston calmly smiled. “I watched Sean grow up. He worked under Jonah before


    helping out Lyse. He’s a capable and principled young man.


    “I have always liked Sean, and I consider him a godson. I’m not bothered by that minor slip because I


    know his character.”


    Godson? Winston’s careless remark elevated Sean’s standing while undermining Simon’s.
