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?"
