Restore scroll position Chapter 499Simon 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 mannerhe'd observe a suspect. “Your clientele appears to be quite rich. I assume you have your standards forselecting 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 paymy two shareholders and the ten or so attorneys working under me. Look, I don't have a choice.” Simonended his sentence with a troubled sigh.Silas, Cyrus, and Alyssa almost barfed at Simon's hypocritical explanation. How could Simon and Sean.turn out so differently when they were both Spencer Lynch's sons?"Simon is a top attorney in Solana City. He's also a famous name across the country,” Sean broke hissilence 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 yourincome, not including the commission fees from your attorneys.”The dining hall fell into an awkward silence. Winston and Spencer stopped talking and cast their glancesat the children“Sean, my firm's financial details and income are private matters. It's inappropriate to reveal them at thisdinner, chided Simon. As he spoke, he accidentally pulled the wound on his cheek that he had coveredup 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 whyyou'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 twoturn 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, who tugged atSean'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 beforehelping 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 Iknow his character.”Godson? Winston's careless remark elevated Sean's standing while undermining Simon's.
