Chapter 485

With that, Jasper walked away in huge strides, leaving Simon frozen on the ground in

humiliation.

He was born into a family of attorneys. His parents had high hopes for him from childhood,

and he was

the role model of his siblings.

He sailed through life and was considered one of the elite attorneys in Solana City.

Even the scions in Solana City had to humble themselves to seek his services. He had

never felt so

humiliated after the exchange with Jasper.

Simon thought of something.

Brows furrowed, Simon turned around to glance at Jasper’s proud figure. He wondered

about the relationship between Jasper and Alyssa.

Why would the unfeeling, ascetic Jasper Beckett fly into temper for Alyssa?

Simon himself was an acquaintance of Alyssa. He knew her as a beauty and the beloved

daughter of Winston Taylor. She had higher standards and better taste than most people.

She wouldn’t be interested in just any ordinary man.

There seemed to be only one possible explanation-Jasper Beckett, the illegitimate son who

had overestimated himself, must be in love with Alyssa Taylor!

So what if he was handsome and strategic? His mother was never recognized as a legal

spouse, even after her death.

Javier Beckett was merely being charitable by offering Jasper the role of president at the

Beckett Group.

“You’re still nothing, even with all the titles! How dare you dream of dating Alyssa Taylor

with that lowly background?” Simon’s eyes grew cold as he followed Jasper into the villa. 3

Everyone was surprised to see Jasper showing up, followed by Simon Lynch.

Javier wasted no time introducing Simon to Newton, showering him with praise. “Dad, this

is Simon Lynch. He’s a talented attorney. Without him, Betty wouldn’t have been released.

He’s done some great work.

“That’s why I’ve decided to hire Mr. Lynch as our company’s Director of Legal Affairs. What

do you think?”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Beckett Senior. I’ve heard a lot about you,” said Simon with

a courteous

“Simon Lynch… Are you Spencer Lynch’s eldest?” Newton studied the man before him and

asked sternly.

“Indeed, Spencer Lynch is my dad.” Simon couldn’t hide his pride and joy. He mused, “Are

you an old

friend of his?”

Jasper watched their exchange with a grave expression. He disliked Simon Lynch for his

hypocrisy, but

Simon’s dad seemed acquainted with Newton.

Newton responded with an amused expression, “Of course, I knew him. He was the judge

presiding over

the case of my youngest son, Chester. Quite a strict judge, that man. He handed down a

four-year

sentence.”

This revelation shocked everyone, causing Simon’s smile to almost crumble as the color

drained from his

face.

Almost immediately, Javier was exposed to the dark memories of the past. His expression

which was not lost on Jasper.

“Well, Mr. Beckett Senior, my dad might have been a capable judge, but he wasn’t very

diplomatic. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of his actions,” Simon hurriedly apologized.

He hadn’t anticipated the situation taking such a negative turn and sensed that Newton

might still hold

some resentment based on the grave look on Newton’s face.

“Interesting,” Newton raised an eyebrow. “What did your father do wrong? Why are you

apologizing for

him?”

“I-” Simon was taken aback.

“Isn’t it a fundamental requirement for a judge to be fair and firm? Were you suggesting

he was wrong when you apologized?”

“I … It’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean that.” Simon was left chuckling dryly.

“I have heard about you, to be honest. You are known for only representing the rich and

have dealt with many celebrities and billionaires, remarked Newton with a snicker. “If you

hadn’t mentioned you were Spencer’s son, I couldn’t have associated you with him. You

seemed… quite different from your father.”
