Chapter 633 Amelia's Child is Nolan's

"You've got it all wrong," Ian said with a bitter smile. "I might not even be around by the time Justin grows up. What could I possibly be plotting?"

Jasmine frowned but stayed quiet.

Sure, Ian was sick and probably didn't have much time left, but she couldn't let her guard down.

"Justin's just a kid. He shouldn't be dragged into any of the Patrick family drama. If there's nothing else, we're leaving." Jasmine was determined to take Justin away.

"Ms. Cunningham, hold on a second." Landon stepped in, blocking her path. "Justin needs to be here when Mr. Patrick's will is read."

Jasmine felt a surge of irritation. How could they be so selfish to drag her son into this mess? "No way. I said we want no part of this!"

"I heard about Mr. Douglas's accident. I'm really sorry, but things aren't as simple as they seem," Landon said quietly, his words hinting at something deeper.

Jasmine's face darkened. "What are you getting at?"

"Now's not the time to explain. Please cooperate. Matthew had his reasons and plans. This all started with the Patrick and Harper family's engagement. None of it is random; it's a scheme set up years ago, with someone pulling the strings behind the scenes," Landon said, glancing around, his voice low and raspy.

Jasmine wasn't sure if Landon was exaggerating, but his words only made her more uneasy.

Still, she knew there was some truth to it. The influence of that hidden hand was everywhere.

If Ethan's accident was connected to that person, she had to find out who it was.

"This isn't just a private matter for the Douglas family anymore. Many things have been deliberately linked. Matthew had no bad intentions. Giving the shares to Justin might put him in danger, but it's also a way to protect him," Landon said, giving Justin a meaningful look. "He really cared about Justin."

Jasmine stayed silent. She couldn't fully grasp what Landon was saying, but involving her son was infuriating.

"Henry, you're finally here, Matthew..." A woman at the end of the hallway saw Henry and tried to speak, but Henry walked past her with a grim face, silencing her.

Henry looked furious, his presence intimidating.

He marched up to Ian and punched him hard in the face. "Grandpa is critically ill, and you hid it from us?"
