Sean and Tatiana stared in astonishment at Steven's resolute face, deeply moved by his actions.Despite the couple feeling as if they had a sword hanging over their heads, someone from the Lynchfamily was actually willing to lend them a hand.

This act of kindness amidst adversity was more precious and heartwarming than ever before."Steven! How dare you speak to your mother like that?"

Spencer finally couldn't contain his anger. He rose abruptly and pointed accusingly at Steven's sternface. "Your mother has worked tirelessly all her life, raising you three brothers single-handedly. Andall you have to say is that she's disappointing?

"Are you and Sean trying to drive us two old folks to death?"

Simon took the opportunity to paint himself as the victim. Spewing blood and air, he said, "Dad!Mom! Look at them! They don't even care about you two! People said to raise a child to preventloneliness. But I'm the only one who truly stands by you. They're both traitors!"

When Simon recalled how Steven and Sean had teamed up against him in court, his anger surgedeven more. "Vent your anger at me, Steven! Both of you, come at me! Mom's body can't withstandyour harsh words."

Steven couldn't help but sneer. He stared at Simon's face with a mixture of disgust and contempt."You think I'm not coming for you? You think you can run?"

Simon trembled violently.

"Do you think I don't know what you've been up to under my nose all these years? Do you think Ican't see that you've been suppressing and bullying Sean? Do you think I'm blind?"

Steven took a deep breath. His heart twinged with guilt, and his eyes were filled with a hint ofshame. "I regret not exposing your malicious facade earlier and not reporting your wrongdoings. Ishould've let you know there's justice in this world!"

"Steven! You..." Simon's face turned as red as a tomato.

Steven, who had always been quiet and indifferent at home, was now mercilessly exposing him.Each of his words was like a sharp nail pinning him to the pillar of shame.

Sinead, too, was stunned by her suddenly furious son. With her mouth half-open, she stared atSimon in bewilderment.

"What report? What wrongdoing?"

Spencer took a step forward, widening his eyes. "Simon, is what Steven said true? What's going onhere?"

Steven glared coldly at Simon. "Ha! Even at this point, you still haven't told Mom and Dad anything?What a dutiful son you are. No wonder you can stand here and spout such nonsense, deceivingthem.

"I'm afraid you don't even know about this yourself. Just half an hour ago, you were reported by thelawyers of your law firm. You're suspected of embezzling funds, bribery, and money laundering. Yourlaw firm has been sealed off."

"S-Sealed off? Reported? W-Who dares to do that?" Simon exclaimed in panic. His face contortedwith rage, as if someone had stepped on his tail.

Just then, his phone vibrated

Trembling, he took it out and looked at it. His bandaged head was throbbing again.

Steven wasn't exaggerating. Simon's law firm had indeed been sealed off. In the photo sent by hisassistant, police tape was prominently affixed to the door of Simon's law firm.
