Chapter 500

Sean had always looked down on his “useless” brother, feeling aghast at Sean’s lack of

ambition. How could one be content slaving away as Alyssa’s secretary?

Hence, Simon was taken aback when Winston confessed that he considered Sean his

godson. It was the Belbanks tycoon’s subtle way of aligning with Sean.

What angered Simon the most was the undertone of Winston’s praises for Sean, which

insinuated that Simon did not exhibit similar qualities.

The Taylor siblings had different looks on their faces. Alyssa grinned and almost burst out

laughing at Winston’s clever maneuver.

Simon probably hadn’t anticipated this dinner would turn into a trap.

“M-Mr. Taylor, you’re flattering us!”

Spencer and Sinead were overjoyed by Winston’s words.

Still, Spencer waved his hand humbly and added, “My youngest isn’t good enough to be

your godson. He’ll simply keep his head down and work at KS Group. We don’t expect

more than that!”

“Spencer, we’ve known each other for years. I don’t put on an act around you. I wouldn’t

praise Sean if he weren’t a commendable young man,” Winston replied.

The more he complimented Sean, the more he appeared to be admonishing Simon.

Simon curled his fists under the table as he seethed. He had wanted to find an excuse to

leave when Winston said, “Lyse, tell Jonah this when you meet him the next time.”

“What is it, Dad?” Alyssa rested her cheek in her hand and cooed.

“I have approved his proposal to purchase Evergreen Capital. He can kickstart the plan at

any time now.”

Simon felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Evergreen Capital was the largest

shareholder backing his law firm. The acquisition meant that Simon’s law firm would fall

under Winston’s control.

He finally saw the dinner as what it was. He gritted his teeth in resentment, sweat beading

on his forehead.

He dared not meet Winston and Alyssa’s eyes, but he knew they were sending him

piercing looks.

Winston had planned this gathering under the pretext of reuniting with old friends, but his

true intention was far from that. He wanted to teach Simon a lesson and avenge Alyssa.

It was time for Simon to understand the consequences of working against his precious

daughter.

After dinner, the Lynches stayed put and chatted in the living room.

After not seeing each other for a while, Alyssa had endless topics to chat with her two

brothers.

Silas and Steven both worked in the judiciary system and were familiar with each other.

The four of them gathered and played the “Halli Galli” card game.

In the heat of the moment, Alyssa accidentally knocked the wine glass off the table. The

red wine splashed across her body, trickling down her shin and onto her feet.

“I’ll give you a hand here!” Silas immediately searched for napkins.

“I’ll help!” Cyrus frantically looked for anything that could serve as a napkin.

“Um, I guess I’ll help too?” Steven felt it was only appropriate if he joined the two

panicked brothers as

well.

Just as the three men were fighting to be of service to Alyssa, a towering figure showed up

and went

down on one knee in front of her.

Alyssa gazed down at her feet in astonishment, her eyes wavering. Sean had swiftly come

to her side, producing a handkerchief he always carried on him.

He gently lifted her delicate feet with one hand and patiently wiped away the wine with

another.

In a hurry, she tried removing her feet. However, Sean did not care about that and

remained focused on

cleaning her feet.

He didn’t seem to consider his action weird. He made it appear as though it was part and

parcel of his job

as her secretary.

The people around were stunned by the scene. Tatiana had been leaning against Lyla and

chatting when her heart sank upon witnessing the sight.

Quivering with anger and a sense of heartache, Tatiana furrowed her brow.

“Mom, I’m not feeling well. I think I’ll rest for a bit,” Tatiana informed Lyla. She swiftly

escaped from the living room, lowering her head to conceal her teary eyes behind her

flowing hair.

“Taty? Taty!” Lyla called out to her daughter with concern. The more she did that, the

faster Tatiana ran.

Alyssa grew flustered when Sean proceeded to clean her legs after wiping her feet. She

moved her legs

He looked up at her with shimmering eyes.

Staring coldly at her loyal secretary, she sighed woefully and whispered, “You’re Mr. Lynch

tonight, not my

secretary. Even if you were acting as my secretary, there was no need to go to such

lengths.”

With that, she left Sean behind amidst the watchful eyes of everyone present.
