Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 114 Ethan's Creative Ways of Offering Money

Henry furrowed his brows, reluctantly moving toward the door, fearing what Mr. Patrick Sr. might say to unsettle Jasmine.

"Has this woman become more important to you than your grandfather?" Mr. Patrick Sr. asked angrily.

Henry remained silent for a long moment. "Justin, let's go," he finally said.

Justin looked back at his mom, unwilling to leave.

Jasmine cupped Justin's cheeks. "Wait for Mom outside, it's okay. Grandpa Pat just wants to chat with me."

Justin nodded, worry in his eyes as he left the room.

Now alone with Jasmine and an assistant, it was the assistant who spoke first. "Ms. Wilson, name your price. What would it take for you to willingly give up custody of the child?"

"Justin is mine," Jasmine said firmly, gripping her fingers tightly. "Henry and I have an agreement, the child stays with me, and I won't sue him for rape."

Jasmine took a deep breath, looking up at Mr. Patrick Sr. It wasn't her fault, and she had nothing to be ashamed of.

Justin was an accident, one she never wanted in the first place.

Mr. Patrick Sr.'s face darkened instantly. "Quite the tactician, Ms. Wilson."

Jasmine bit her lip, her voice hoarse. "I have nothing to lose, and I don't want a single thing from the Patrick family. If it makes you feel better, I can sign an agreement that Justin will have no ties to the Patricks."

Mr. Patrick Sr. squinted his eyes. "You should know that if I sue for custody of Justin, your chances of winning are slim."

"Look, Henry's marriage into the Brown family isn't going to benefit from Justin's existence. It could harm your business collaboration. Concealing Justin's identity and acknowledging him as my son, not a Patrick, could be the wiser move," Jasmine reasoned with the old Mr. Patrick Sr. "Besides, I have a steady job and income now, and as his mother, I don't think you can be so sure of victory."

"Shame you've been to jail," the old man's words hit Jasmine hard, pressing her down into the depths of despair.

That stain in her life, jail time, she could never erase it.

To Justin, she would always be a burden.
