Chapter 1513

Dad! Mom! Don't listen to him! It's not like that!" Simon angrily defended himself, "Steven and Sean

conspired together and caused me trouble in court.

"Now, he is jumping at the first chance to speak for Sean and try to tarnish my reputation! I believe

Alyssa and Jasper have bribed both of them! They are lackeys for the Taylors. They are just as bad as

them."

Unable to endure any longer, Steven interrupted before Simon could finish. He, who had always

been poised and proper, punched Simon!

He was more ruthless than Sean and punched Simon right in the nose. Sean stagged backward from

the force, and his nose bled profusely.

"Sigh, a leopard can't change its spots.”

Steven shook his sore fingers. Rage burned in his eyes. "If you claim I conspired with Sean on this,

so be it. Sean collaborated with me to beat the crap out of the shameless, pretentious, and

malicious person you are! What can you do about it?"

Simon held his sore and painful nose. He pointed at Steven's stern face and muttered, "You..."

Steven glanced at the grateful couple with an inexplicable look. Then, he bent down to pick up the

suitcase that fell on the ground. He took a stack of envelopes from it. Then, he solemnly

approached Spencer and passed the envelopes to him.

"This..." Hesitant, Spencer took them from him.

"These are the reports collected from the masses during my three years as the presiding judge. This

stack comprises all the cases Simon defended. These citizens did not have the support from the rich

and powerful and couldn't afford a lawyer like Simon.

"So, even when they were wrongly accused and suffered significant losses, they could only silently

endure it. They had no means to seek justice for themselves.

"As such, they send letters to the court, exposing Simon for his treacherous deeds. I've read every

word in every letter multiple times for countless nights. I lose sleep thinking about the contents of

these letters.”

Steven's eyes reddened as he spoke. His throat constricted. "As a judge, I've carried this guilt for

three years. I know everything Simon did in secret. But, to protect this kinship, both of your feelings

and his image as the eldest, I've locked these letters in my drawer and pretended they didn't exist.

"I regret it so much now and blame myself for it. I'm wrong for abusing my power. I've lost the right

to wear this robe. So, once everything is over, I will resign.”

Spencer's eyes dilated. His vision darkened as he struggled to steady his feet.

"Resign? Have you lost your mind? What are you talking about?"

Sinead's heart ached profusely as she wailed, "You've gone through so much to get to where you

are today. You are the only son who can take over the family. Do you know how proud your dad is

of you? How can you resign?"

Tatiana, observant, noticed something wrong with Spencer. She quickly went to help Spencer up.

"Uncle Spencer, please sit!"

She carefully sat Spencer down and gently instructed Sean, "Sean, please get your father a glass of

warm water."

"Okay, I'm on it!" Sean complied and went to get water.

Spencer carefully glanced at Tatiana from the side. Then, he heaved a loud sigh.

He was unsure why he didn't feel any disgust when Tatiana called her "Uncle Spencer”

In fact, he was impressed by it.
