Chapter 498

“Ms. Alyssa, it's been a while!” Spencer led Sinead over to greet Alyssa.

“Uncle Spencer, just call me Lyse like you did when I was a kid,” replied Alyssa warmly. Despite being

the

Taylor family’s daughter, she did not put on any airs.

“That was a long time ago. You are in management, and you're Sean's boss! Things are different

now,"

Spencer remarked.

He knew about Alyssa’s fame and the likelihood that Winston would groom Alyssa to be his

SUCCESSOr.

Therefore, he was extra cautious in his exchange with Alyssa.

However, Simon scoffed at his dad's humble manner, which he found shameful.

Why did the Lynches always have to lower themselves in front of the Taylors?

Successful men did not always come from blue-blooded, wealthy families.

Alyssa let Spencer be, seeing that the latter insisted on courtesy. Meanwhile, Sinead silently studied

the

two Taylor sisters.

She was amazed by Alyssa’s beauty. As a child, Alyssa resembled a delicate porcelain doll. She had

since grown up to be a dazzling beauty. With one look, anyone would fall for her.

No wonder Sean would lose sleep over Alyssa. Sinead felt sorry for her son.

Besides, the social standing of the Lynches was lower than that of the Taylors. They might be a

scholarly family, but the Taylors were the most wealthy family in Belbanks. Therefore, Alyssa was out

of Sean's

league.

She switched her attention to Tatiana, who was well-raised and quiet.

“M-Mrs. Lynch! How do you do?” Tatiana hurriedly greeted the mother of her crush. Her heart raced,

and

her cheeks reddened in nervousness. 1

“I'm fine, Ms. Tatiana,” replied Sinead. If Sean insisted on marrying a Taylor, Tatiana was the next best

option. The young lady was obedient, sensible, and gentle. Her being the daughter of Winston's

third wife

was the only flaw.

Alyssa and Tatiana were both Winston's daughters, but Tatiana’s mom, Lyla, did not officially register

her marriage to Winston. Sinead assumed that Lyla wasn't the favorite wife in the family with that

weak

daughter.

Upon second thought, Sinead believed Sean would lose out by marrying Tatlana.

Tatiana furtively glanced at her crush with a thumping heart. However, she felt a shot of pain after

taking

one look.

Sean only had Alyssa in his eyes from the very beginning. She knew the passionate look in his eyes

too

well, for she had cast the same look at him in the past seven years.

Heightsnew Villa was filled with merriment today. Only Jonah was absent because he was on a

business

trip.

Silas and Cyrus, the two civil servants, surprisingly showed up at the occasion.

The dinner kicked off on a high note. Winston and Spencer, old friends of similar age, had plenty to

catch

up on. Meanwhile, Sinead thoroughly enjoyed her conversation with Winston's three wives.

In contrast, an air of unease hung around their sons. A policeman, prosecutor, judge, attorney, and

Alyssa,

the plaintiff, gathered at the other end of the table, resembling a day in court.

“Mr. Lynch, I heard your law firm in Solana City is doing well,” jeered Silas, who swirled the contents

of his wine glass. “In the last two years, we prosecutors have seen you taking on multiple high-

profile cases,

representing the defendants.”

“Well, that's my job as an attorney.”
