Not only that, the text message Simon''s secretary had sent him disgusted him.


    The text message read, "Mr. Lynch, consider this text message as my official resignation. Everything


    has unfolded the way it has today because of your arrogance. I''ve endured enough of your torment.


    "You may think of yourself as a king, but I no longer wish to serve you. If thew didn''t protect thisnd,


    I would have ughtered you myself. I hope to never see you again! Congrattions on your closure!"


    Simon was seething with anger. His hand, gripping the phone, trembled uncontrobly. He felt


    completely out of his element and adrift.


    "I''ve not wrongly used you in any way. How you ended up here is entirely your own doing!"


    Steven was utterly devastated. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Up until now, you have shown no


    remorse. You''re jealous of Sean and exploit Mom and Dad''s obliviousness to get back at him, tearing


    down the aplishments he worked so hard for!


    "Simon, when did you be this monstrous? Or have you never regarded Sean and me as your


    family? You''ve always viewed us aspetition.


    "Whenever one of us achieved something or surpassed you, you''d do whatever it took to bring us


    down, all to feed your ego. You revel in seeing us live worse off than you, don''t you?"


    "W-What nonsense are you spouting? I''ve never thought that in my life," Simon argued with a reddened


    face.


    "You saw how Sean found such an incredible woman, Ms. Tatiana. She hails from a reputable family


    and has the support of Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Jasper. Your jealousy led you to defame Ms. Tatiana to our


    parents to break them apart!"


    Then, Steven turned his burning gaze to Spencer and added, "Dad, I''ve rified with the prosecutor


    and police about David.


    "David was never close to Ms. Tatiana, as Simon imed. They were never acquainted. David was the


    one who wanted to marry into the Taylors but failed. So, his sister, Daisy, set a trap at the party.


    "They drugged Ms. Tatiana and took her by force to aplish his sinister desires and forced Mr.


    Winston into marrying his daughter to him!"


    A profound sense of humiliation stirred in Tatiana''s heart. She closed her eyes.


    David was dead, but that scar was etched in her heart forever. She had finally moved past it, but Simon


    heartlessly ripped open her wound and used it against her.


    Tatiana was shaking. Sean quickly enveloped her in his arms. Gently patting her trembling back, he,


    with red eyes, attempted to console her. His words got stuck in his throat, and he could only croak,


    unable to articte his feelings.

    The pain for her lingered in his eyes.


    "The court has epted David''s case. I was the judge responsible for his case, so I knew it like the


    back of my hand. It''s a pity that the bastard died before his case went to trial. I couldn''t pass a


    sentence on him like I did with Sophia."


    Spencer and Sinead were left gaping in shock. Steven had undeniably shaken their viewpoints.


    From a very young age, Simon always portrayed himself as a responsible sibling and always respected


    his family. To everyone else, Simon was an unbeatable and unparalleledwyer. They had always been


    immensely proud of him.


    Despite Simon defending the treacherous Sophia in court, they believed he was merely doing his job


    as awyer. They dismissed insults thrown at him as baseless, convinced that Alyssa and Jasper had


    bribed those who made such ims.


    When they heard everything Steven had to say, they stared at Simon''s guilty gaze in shock. They were


    confused.


    They wondered if they had misunderstood Tatiana and whether everything Simon did was intended to


    hurt Sean.
