Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

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.”
