Chapter 350:

As Jaycob’s gaze shifted, everyone in the hospital room turned toward the doorway, where Jewell stood hesitantly.

Haunted by the image of Conroy’s fall, Jewell hadn’t slept all night. At first light, after wrestling with his doubts, he resolved to visit the hospital. But the heated voices inside the room made him instantly regret his decision. Even so, he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to leave now.

Jaycob dragged Jewell into the room and asked sharply, “Uncle Jewell, tell us all—did Wyatt order you to slip into Grandpa’s study and steal his official seal?” Jaycob emphasized the word “steal,” ensuring the accusation’s weight landed heavily.

Amelia’s eyes flickered with concern at the unfolding scene. She instinctively moved to speak, but a familiar warmth on her hand stopped her. Glancing up, she saw Wyatt subtly shake his head, signaling her not to do anything.

“It was indeed Wyatt who told me to do it,” Jewell said.

“You all heard him! Wyatt gave the order!” Amor exclaimed triumphantly after Jewell spoke.

Yet her excitement found little support; most in the room noticed the mocking glint in Wyatt’s eyes.

“Jewell, do you even know what you’re saying?” Della snapped, her voice thick with rage, eyes blazing.

Seeing that, Amelia rushed to steady Della.

Though such confrontations weren’t new, Amelia still cast a worried glance at Wyatt.

Compared to Della’s fiery anger, Wyatt remained composed, his calm unnerving Jewell.

In the heavy silence, Wyatt fixed his gaze on Jewell and asked, “Are you absolutely sure I told you to secretly take Grandpa’s seal p>

His deep voice made Jewell flinch; he was unable to hold Wyatt’s steady stare. His eyes darted away, heavy with unease.

At that moment, Kamila’s words flooded back to him.

She had urged him to pin the blame on Wyatt, assuring him that Wyatt’s secure position in the Stewart family would shield him from serious repercussions.

Jewell knew that if he admitted Kamila had asked him to do it, she would be finished. She would never be able to set foot in the Stewart family residence again. Even Pattie and Rory would be implicated.

With this weighing on him, Jewell lowered his gaze and muttered, “Yes. You said that once your grandfather’s shares were in your hands, you would have total control of the Stewart Group p>

“Wyatt, what’s your excuse now? Someone like you has no right to lead the Stewart Group!” Jaycob declared, his voice brimming with triumph.

He had anticipated that Wyatt would lash out or crumble under pressure. But to his surprise, Wyatt’s face remained impassive, save for his eyes darkening.

“Whether I am fit to run the Stewart Group is not up to you to decide!” Wyatt replied in a deep voice.

“You still have the nerve to act so smug after this? Wyatt, don’t think p>

“Mr. Stewart, I’ve brought the document you asked for p>

A breathless voice cut through Jaycob’s tirade as Davin rushed in, sweat-soaked, gripping a document tightly.

“If you doubt my right to lead the Stewart Group, maybe you should take a look at this document first,” Wyatt said. Then, he glanced at Davin.

Understanding the signal, Davin swiftly handed the document to Jaycob and passed copies to others in the room.

Earlier, in the car, Amelia had only caught Wyatt instructing Davin to retrieve a document, unaware of its contents.

Now, as she studied the paper in her hands, her jaw dropped.

It was a share transfer agreement, signed by Conroy, declaring his intent to pass all his shares to Wyatt. If Wyatt signed his name, the transfer would take effect, granting him full ownership of Conroy’s shares.

The crucial detail was that the document had been effective three months ago.

The room’s occupants scanned their copies, their reactions ranging from shock to disbelief.

Amor, in a fury, shredded her copy. “Why? Why would Conroy hand all his shares to you? It’s not fair p>

The document made everyone realize Jewell was lying, but at that point, few cared about Jewell’s lies; all eyes were on Wyatt.

Seeing Amor’s outrage, Amelia couldn’t stay silent anymore. “Isn’t it clear why Conroy did this? If your son had taken charge of the Stewart Group back then, do you think you would be living so comfortably now p>

“You…” Amor was rendered momentarily at a loss for words.
