Chapter 496
Steven reacted swiftly, pulling Sean away from Simon and embracing him from behind to
restrain him. He
scolded Sean, “Are you out of your mind? How could you attack Simon like that?”
“Yeah, he is fucking crazy!” Simon got up from the ground, pressing against his face. “He’s
about to
abandon his family for that Taylor chick!”
“I’m not the monster here. You are!” Sean spat out in anger.
“Enough! Shut up, the two of you!” Spencer yelled back at his sons while holding his wife,
Sinead Everton.
Sinead was deeply concerned, as she had never seen her sons in such a state before.
Steven positioned himself between his two brothers, acting as a mediator, fearing that
they might start
fighting again.
He reasoned, “Sean, I heard that Simon took on the Becketts’ legal case. You shouldn’t
blame him. He’s

“I’m staying out tonight,” Sean declared, storming out of the house with a bruised face.
“Sean, where are you going?” Sinead called after him, her voice filled with worry.
“Where else can he go? He’s rushing back to be with his beloved Ms. Alyssa!” Simon
hurled hurtful comments at Sean, as there were no outsiders present. He retaliated,
feeling humiliated like never before.
Simon sneered, “I wonder if Ms. Alyssa can sleep peacefully tonight without Sean.”
“You jerk! I won’t let you speak about her that way!” Sean’s eyes burned with hatred as he
cracked his knuckles. He would have attacked Simon if Steven hadn’t held him back.
“Simon, show Alyssa some respect!” Spencer could take it no more and stood between the
brothers to exert pressure. “No one is leaving home tonight. Go to the study! Steven, fetch
the cane. We’ll handle this
according to our family rules.”
Spencer’s sudden decision took Simon and Sean aback, while Steven reluctantly obeyed
his father’s
command, saying, “Sure, Dad.”
Sinead had wanted to talk Spencer out of it, but she had never succeeded in doing so.
Instead, she
sighed and moaned as she stood next to him.
“Sean, did you make the first move?” Spencer scowled and questioned sternly.
“Yes, Dad.”
“Apologize to your brother now!”
Sean clenched his fists tightly as his blood bolled. Still seething, he replied, “Dad, I will
take your
punishment for my action, but I will never apologize to him. I’ll hit him every time he
disrespects Alyssa
until he learns.”
“Sean!” Spencer was taken aback by his youngest son’s fierce defense of Alyssa, even
turning against his
family for it. Spencer was left feeling disheartened.
Just then, the butler hurried over. “Mr. Lynch, Mr. Taylor’s secretary is here!”
The family members set aside their arguments, surprised by Winston’s secretary’s

Neil Benton entered the room with a smile but quickly sensed the tension in the air. He

together when he noticed the injuries on Simon and Sean’s faces.
Still, he did his job and conveyed his message, “Mr. Lynch, Mr. Taylor has invited you and
your family to dinner at Heightsnew Villa. He’s hoping you can join. It’s been a while since
he last saw your two other
sons. Since you’re all in Belbanks, he thought it would be a good opportunity for a get-
together.”
“Understood. Thank you for coming to inform us. We’ll be there on time!” Spencer
responded courteously.
After Neil left, a somber atmosphere settled over the family.
“I won’t join,” Simon protested, turning away. “I’m exhausted from the trip. I need to rest.”
“No!” Spencer retorted sharply. “Who do you think you are, declining an invitation from
Winston Taylor?
You’ll attend, even if you have to limp there!”
