Mandy flipped, resisting the urge to grab a fistful of soil from the flower pot and shove it into Sinead's
mouth.
"Mom, what did you say?" Sean rushed down the stairs to his mom with resentful eyes. He seemed to
be burning in rage. "What did you just say? How could you?"
The sight of Sean with gauze on his left eye and bruises on his face worried Sinead. She cried, feeling
bad for him. "Oh, my dear son. What has happened to you? Who did this to you? I'll kill him!"
Then, she reached out to touch his face with a trembling hand, but he swatted it away. He threatened,

Sean felt his blood boiling. "By the way, Taty is my woman. I won't marry anyone except for her. Don't
ever associate her with that trash of the Schmidt family!"
"Sean, you... you..." Sinead was tongue-tied after being shamed by her son in public.
"Sean, what are you doing?" Simon went up to hold his mother, concern etched on his face. "Mom
missed you a lot. She was worried something bad had happened to you. Did you know that the
Schmidts had filed a lawsuit against you?"
Even Mandy and Lyla were taken aback by the update. Sean remained composed and questioned
coldly, "So what? That's none of your business. I can handle it myself."
"How are you going to handle it? You're only going to make a mess." Simon pointed a finger at his
brother with disappointment. "The Schmidts are suing you for aggravated assault. You can't win against
their tricks. It will be a David and Goliath situation.
"And look at the injuries on you. Only you know how you got hurt."
"Simon Lynch, shut up!" Sean grabbed his brother by the collar and lifted him off the floor. "You should
have kept this news from Dad and Mom if you truly cared for them. I know what you're getting at. You
should just come to me. I will not let this slide. How dare you harass Tatiana and her family!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSinead, who had pieced the puzzle, started shaking in fear. Sean had gotten on the bad side of the
Schmidts, one of the few distinguished families in Solana City. He was in deep trouble now.
It didn't matter if the Lynches had assisted the Taylors for years. The Lynches were nothing more than
disposable pawns for the KS Group. Moreover, Winston Taylor and Victor Schmidt were old friends.
Hence, it was unlikely that the Taylors would side with Sean.
She believed it was Tatiana's fault for getting Sean into trouble with the Schmidts. She thought, "What a
jinx! Why do you have to give my son trouble?"
Gripped by intense fear, she felt a piercing pain in her heart. Sweating profusely, she collapsed weakly
in
Simon's arms.
He gasped, "Damn it! Mom's got a heart attack!" He hurriedly found some pills from his pocket and fed
one to Sinead while barking at Sean, "Call the ambulance!"
