Chapter 670
Oliver Horton’s roar made Jake Horton tighten his jaw.
He supported Melissa Knight, “Mom, let’s go p>
Once these words were spoken, Oliver was stunned.
He hadn’t expected Jake to really dare to leave and furrowed his brows immediately.
Nathan Horton also became displeased right away.
Indeed, Selena Horton could bring benefits to the Horton Family, but when weighing the importance of a granddaughter and a grandson, he still knew which mattered more. Thus, he opened his mouth to say, “What do you mean go? Jake, what kind of father and son hold grudges overnight? Quickly apologize to your father, and this can all be put behind us p>
Oliver Horton immediately lifted his chin arrogantly, looking at Jake with a cold laugh, “Dad, if he wants to leave, let him leave. I want to see how he survives without the Horton Family p>
He believed that Jake had lived a life of luxury and had never suffered hardship. Surely, he wouldn’t bear to leave this nest of riches!
Upon hearing this, Jake let out a bitter laugh, “Grandpa, I will come back to see you p>
Nathan Horton wanted to say something, but Oliver scoffed, “Come back for what? Once you leave, you’re no longer a Horton, there’s no need for you to come back! What, are you planning to come back and mooch off your grandfather p>
Nathan Horton directly intervened, “Oliver! Don’t talk so harshly to Jake p>
“I’m being harsh?” Oliver scoffed in anger, “Dad, didn’t you hear what he just said to me? He doesn’t even want me as his father, how could he possibly still want you as his grandfather! If he really does come back, it’d only be because he can’t make it on his own and needs money p>
Jake clenched his jaw, “Rest assured, after I leave, I won’t take a single penny from the Hortons p>
Melissa Knight immediately exclaimed, “Jake! Don’t talk nonsense, everything in the Horton Family is yours, what do you mean not taking a single penny from the Hortons p>
Oliver Horton sneered, “See? After all is said and done, you still want the Horton Family’s money! Melissa Knight, I’ll give you one chance, you stay here and let this rebellious son leave p>
Melissa was caught off guard, about to say something, when Selena Horton interjected, “Auntie, you should stay. Otherwise, my brother will be living in poverty out there by himself, with no one to help out… If you stay, at least you can ensure he won’t starve to death p>
These words immediately enraged Melissa, “What nonsense are you spouting?! My son can support himself p>
Selena shrank her neck a little, “I didn’t mean it like that, I was just suggesting… Dad, I didn’t mean to look down on my brother, I just wanted to advise auntie to think carefully before acting p>
Oliver scoffed, “She needs to think? Does she even have a brain? Melissa, if you want to stay, break the mother-son relationship with Jake! Otherwise, both of you can go kneel in the ancestral hall! Kneel there for five days and nights, and after coming out, go marry Serena Clark for me, then this matter will be settled p>
Melissa looked at him incredulously, “You’re telling me to kneel in the ancestral hall? Just because of a few words from your illegitimate daughter p>
Oliver Horton sneered coldly and said nothing.
Jake directly looked at her, “Mom, don’t you understand yet? In his heart, that mistress and this illegitimate daughter weigh more than both of us combined! Why do you still want this family? Do you really want to stay here and be humiliated by them p>
Melissa looked at Jake, dazed, and tears instantly rolled down from her eyes, “But, but I’ve never worked a day in my life, I wouldn’t know how to earn money to support a family… If we leave, we won’t even have a place to stay p>
Jake opened his mouth, “I will find a job, I will support you p>
Melissa paused.
Jake: “Mom, trust me once. From when I was little until now, everything you did was revolving around this man. But even though I enrolled in the best university according to your wishes, married Isla Olsen according to your requirements, what was the result? As soon as things don’t go his way, this man shifts all the blame onto us, mother and son. Why would you still want someone like that p>
Melissa looked at Jake, stunned.
Jake reached out his hand to her, “Mom, come with me p>
Melissa started crying, “Jake, I’m really afraid of starving p>
But while saying this, she still placed her hand in his.
Jake’s eyes reddened as he tightly held her hand, “Mom, I won’t let you starve p>
“How touching, such deep mother-son affection!” Oliver Horton felt everything was under his control, thinking that this mother and son were just making a scene to negotiate terms with him.
He sneered, “If you’re going to leave, then hurry up and go! Don’t stand there getting in the way p>
He was convinced that Jake and Melissa wouldn’t dare to leave.
These two parasites, who had never worked, how could they possibly dare to leave?
But the next moment, Jake pulled Melissa by the hand and strode towards the exit p>
Panic instantly set in Oliver Horton’s heart.
He even followed them a few steps unconsciously.
That mistress and illegitimate daughter out there indeed came from a background that was not presentable, that’s why he had always kept them hidden away.
How good was Melissa, with a fine background, and even capable of managing everything at home p>
Just as he was about to say something, Selena Horton took his arm, “Dad, just let them go out and hit the wall, it will be fine, they’ll know what to do in the future and will surely obey. I heard that with disobedient children, sending them to work in a factory during the summer vacation to train is effective. By the time school reopens, the child will generally get back to studying properly p>
