Chapter 499
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 our law 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.
Silas, Cyrus, and Alyssa almost barfed at Simon’s hypocritical explanation. How could
Simon and Sean.

“Simon is a top attorney in Solana City. He’s also a famous name across the country,”
Sean broke his
silence and snickered.
He continued, “Two million dollars-that was the lowest amount in legal fees you were paid
this year
among all your cases. The highest was 15 million dollars. Those figures were only one
source of your
income, not including the commission fees from your attorneys.”
The dining hall fell into an awkward silence. Winston and Spencer stopped talking and cast
their glances
at the children
“Sean, my firm’s financial details and income are private matters. It’s inappropriate to
reveal them at this
dinner, chided Simon. As he spoke, he accidentally 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 ablaze 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 glance 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,

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 his composure, 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.
