Chapter 1179
Meanwhile, at the Lynch residence, a shout resounded.
“Oh, my God! Simon! What happened to your nose?”
Having been struck down by Jasper’s powerful punch, Simon was diagnosed with a broken nasal bone.
There was a possibility that his sense of smell would be affected, making it challenging to
distinguish scents.
For someone like Simon, who couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong, the ability to distinguish
scents didn’t seem significant.
What bothered him more was the prospect of having his own rib used to reconstruct his nose, not to
mention undergoing plastic surgery. It was a nightmare!
Witnessing their son in such a state, Spencer and Sinead were both shocked and furious. Sinead
nearly had a heart attack.
‘Simon, who did this to you? You’re a well-known lawyer. How someone dare lay a hand on you?”
“Mom, please don’t ask. It’s someone we can’t afford to provoke.” Simon felt increasingly frustrated as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe thought about it. He couldn bring himself to talk about that incident.
“A few days ago, you mentioned taking over Mr. Javier’s wife’s drug case. And lately, you’ve been busy
with the Beckett family.”
After some thought, Spencer said with a darkened face, “Sophia and Alyssa don’t get along, so by
taking on the Beckett family’s case, you’re essentially offending Alyssa. Did she hit you?”
Hearing that, Simon felt a sense of shame. His teeth ached from gritting them too hard. “It was Jasper,
but Alyssa gave the order.

punches.”
“Alyssa! She’s crossed the line!”
Sinead covered her chest, trembling with anger. “We’ve done so much for the Taylor family. Your dad
was the Director of Legal Affairs at KS Group before retiring. Sean even works as a secretary for
Jonah. They’ve worked for them for so long.
“Just because of one case and personal enmity, they’ve joined forces with Jasper to trouble you and hit
you? Now that your dad has retired, do they think that we’re useless and can bully us now?”
“Mom, don’t get too upset. Your heart isn’t well.” Simon transformed into a good son, coming over to
comfort his mother.
“The Taylors are just too much! Especially that Alyssa! Mr. Taylor has spoilt her!”
Spencer couldn’t contain his anger either. “I’ve raised my children with all my heart, but they treat my
son like a servant. Now, they’n resorted to violence. This is unacceptable!
“Sean even told me the other day that he wants to marry the T family’s youngest daughter and that he’ll
only marry that woman.”
At his words, Simon perked up. “Sean wants to marry the mistress daughter?”
“Your brother has gone mad. The Taylor family’s daughter has bewitched him! He came home a few

The phrase “mistress’ daughter” hit a nerve with Sinead. Increasingly, the idea of marrying off her son
felt like a raw deal. “Our family isn’t the Taylor family’s garbage dump. We’ve cleaned up their mess for
half a lifetime, and now we have to take in their least-worthy daughter? This is too much!”

“That’s right. Sean is a brilliant law student. What kind of woman can’t he get? How could he choose
someone who’ll bring shame to him?”
Covering his nose, Simon sneered. “That Lyla Nelson, now that Mr. Taylor wants her, others address
her as Madam Lyla out of respect for Mr. Taylor.
“When he gets tired of her, he might kick her and her daughter out of the family. What will Sean do
then? Support them both? Our family will become a laughingstock!”
Spencer and Sinead felt a chill down their spines, feeling worried.
Simon appeared concerned on the surface, but internally, he gloated. He knew the truth was not as he
described. If Sean did marry Tatiana, he would become the son-in-law of a billionaire family. The entire
Lynch family would likely depend on him for support.
How could Simon allow that? He was the firstborn and the pride of the family. He refused to let Sean,
whom he had always looked down on, be more successful than him. That was why he was going to
use any means necessary to break up the couple.
