Chapter 707
Oliver Horton saw Jake Horton hesitating to speak and sneered, “Weren’t you just saying it’s impossible? Why are you silent now? Let me tell you, if you want to regret, this is your last chance p>
Jake Horton lowered his eyes, “I said it’s impossible because… the courthouse won’t manage divorce and marriage on the same day, Dad, don’t you even know that much p>
Oliver Horton: p>
His expression instantly darkened, and his smirk disappeared immediately, staring at Jake Horton angrily, “How dare you speak to me like this p>
Jake Horton: “I’m just giving you a heads-up p>
Oliver Horton took a deep breath, “Fine, fine, you traitor. Today, I will kick you and your mother out of the house p>
Having said that, he strode out directly.
Seeing this, Jake Horton followed behind him.
Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton glanced at Old Mrs. Horton, and then looked towards Oliver Horton, eventually following Oliver Horton. After all, the divorce was a big deal for them!
Only through divorce could they get married, and Selena Horton could transform from an illegitimate daughter to the rightful Miss Horton!
Jake Horton looked at Keira Olsen and said, “Regarding the board meeting on my side p>
He paused for a moment, unsure of how to ask for leave.
After all, there were only the two of them on the company’s board at the moment.
While he was thinking, Oliver Horton spoke again, “What now? Looking for an excuse not to attend? A board meeting when your company has just been established, what board meeting could you possibly have p>
Jake Horton furrowed his brows, “I mean, let’s postpone the board meeting; I’ll accompany my mother to the courthouse first p>
Keira Olsen nodded, “Okay, let’s meet up after you’re done p>
After speaking, she glanced at Lewis Horton and Old Mrs. Horton.
It was said that it’s best to spend quality time with Old Mrs. Horton for a period, and she herself should also not go out. Thus, Keira Olsen said to Jake Horton, “Once you’re done, you can come home to report all business matters p>
Old Mrs. Horton had a fondness for this great-grandson, so providing Jake Horton with an opportunity to visit was a way to make amends to Old Mrs. Horton.
Indeed, as soon as Keira Olsen spoke, a joyful expression appeared on Old Mrs. Horton’s face.
Although the expression was faint, Keira Olsen still caught it.
Keira Olsen couldn’t help but sigh.
Indeed, elders always have a deep affection for their own children and grandchildren.
Jake Horton also understood Keira Olsen’s hint, looked at Old Mrs. Horton and nodded, “Okay, from now on, I will come every day to update you on the business schedules p>
He also realized that Old Mrs. Horton’s days were numbered.
Every additional day of company was another day gained.
After saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Horton, Jake Horton then followed Oliver Horton out the door.
Oliver Horton’s car was parked in the parking lot. As they left together, on the way, Selena Horton glanced at Jake Horton and suddenly smiled, “Jake, will you come to accompany Great Grandmother every day? Is it because you want the shares she holds p>
This made Oliver Horton scoff, “Him? How would Old Mrs. Horton possibly give him any shares! Old Mrs. Horton really dislikes our first branch of the family. You and your mom go every day, have you ever received a warm welcome? An utterly pointless effort, I say it’s just an excuse to run back home p>
Jake Horton was stone-faced, not replying.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Oliver Horton stood in front of his car and looked at Jake Horton, “You’re just starting out, you don’t even have a car, I wonder how you’ll get to the courthouse p>
But unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Jake Horton pulled out a bus card, “I came by bus, naturally, I will leave by bus as well p>
Oliver Horton was stunned, “How can you travel by bus p>
Jake Horton smiled, “If others can, why can’t I? Dad, I’ve said it already, I won’t depend on you anymore, so you can’t dictate my life either p>
Leaving these words behind, Jake Horton walked away directly.
Oliver Horton watched his erect back and suddenly became furious, “This little bastard! I bet he just wants to hurt me! With his ignorant attitude, how could I possibly feel pity for him! What sins did I commit in my past life to have sired such an unfilial son p>
Selena Horton immediately supported his other arm, “Dad, you still have mom and me p>
Oliver Horton then relaxed, “Right, I still have you both p>
He got into the car right away, “Let’s go, let’s head for the courthouse now. I want to see, if my son is so bold, whether his mother can show the same backbone p>
He sneered.
Jake Horton has grown up, his rebellious phase has just arrived a bit late, so a fall out with the family isn’t strange at all, but Melissa Knight surely wouldn’t dare to go to the courthouse to divorce him!
He could almost imagine it; either Melissa Knight would call soon, claiming she has no mode of transportation and can’t make it p>
Or she arrives and then says she forgot her ID, anyway, the divorce today definitely couldn’t happen.
Oliver Horton thought smugly, driving directly to the courthouse.
Upon arrival, sure enough, he didn’t see Melissa Knight or Jake Horton there. He immediately called Melissa Knight, “Where are you? You don’t want to come, do you p>
But unexpectedly, just as he spoke, the next second, a voice hurried from around the corner, “I’m coming, I’m coming p>
Oliver Horton abruptly turned his head, just to see almost fifty-year-old Melissa Knight wearing sports sneakers, arriving on a shared bicycle, stopped right in front of him.
