One day, Simon was relishing the company of escorts and good wine at a premium lounge in a

luxurious nightclub. The air was filled with smoke and the sounds from partying.

Sitting across from him was the heir of the Schmidt Group, Josh Schmidt. The fact that Simon was

invited to the party that night meant he had received the seal of approval from Josh. The Schmidts

were considered one of his connections now.

Now acquainted with the Becketts and the Schmidts, Simon had no reason to fear the Taylors

anymore.

"Mr. Schmidt, it was just a small favor. You're too nice," Simon remarked energetically with an escort in

his arm.

"It's just a few drinks. Don't mention it." Josh swirled the wine and lifted a brow in amusement. "This is

nothing compared to your brilliant suggestion of suing your brother for aggravated assault.

"For one, this is a revenge for David. Someone needs to pay for the suffering he had been put through.

Besides, this is a good chance to break up Sean and Ms. Tatiana. Knowing how much your mom loves

his son, she'd rather die than allow Sean to marry the lowly daughter of Winston's third wife. You've

killed two birds with one stone."

Since the Schmidts could not lay a finger on Jasper and Alyssa yet, they'd make inroads by starting

with the people around the couple.

There was no way Josh would allow Sean to beat David by marrying Tatiana.

"Haha! It's all because you paid me well." Under the influence of alcohol and wealth, Simon shed his

gentlemanly facade. His eyes twinkled with greed. "You made a great offer to me, knowing you're

asking me to sue my brother. I'll have to work well with you."

"You're suing your brother. Don't you feel sorry for him, having grown up together?" Josh inquired with

a smile.

"He's not my brother." Simon seethed with malice. "He's just Alyssa Taylor's lapdog."

Josh clicked his tongue and gracefully took a sip of red wine.

"Mr. Schmidt, you know my reputation in the legal field. Just leave your brother's case to me. I'll help

you to secure a perfect victory. Besides, if your company needs legal assistance, my door is always

open. I'll welcome you at any time."

Josh looked up lazily at Simon's eager expression and smiled. "Seeing how diplomatic and flexible you

are, it's no wonder you're a reputable attorney. From what I learned, you are a close acquaintance of

Mr. Javier, and you've helped him to take care of legal troubles more than once.

"But you seemed to have mishandled Madam Sophia's drug offense case. She's still on remand, and

her court hearing is around the corner. Due to the huge repercussions of her case, the court has

decided on a public hearing, which the Becketts had failed to stop."

Josh's smile turned into a disdainful snicker. "Jasper Beckett and Alyssa Taylor have ruined your

personal record of 100 percent wins. When the news spreads, you start receiving fewer cases. How

could I trust your professional ability?"

The smile on Simon's face froze. He felt as though Josh had slapped him in the face. Anger burned in

his chest.

He argued, "Sure, there's a court hearing soon, but that's where my strength lies. Even if I can't help

her walk away free, I can appeal for a lighter sentence." Downing a huge glass of alcohol, he declared,

"Just wait and see."

"Sure. I'll wait for your good news, Attorney Lynch." With a smirk, Josh said, "Prove your ability through

the Beckett's court case, and we'll have ample opportunities to work together."

Simon headed toward the parking garage, drunk and furious. His cheerful mood at the start of the night

had turned into deep frustration.

Simon belatedly realized that Josh had manipulated him. Josh turned against him and even made

empty promises. Simon thought, "None of the Schmidts is good."
