Chapter 671
Oliver Horton frowned and said, “Is that so p>
“Yes, it is p>
“Fine, then let them, mother and son, suffer outside until they come back and beg me p>
Oliver Horton snorted coldly, turned around, and did not look at Jake Horton and Melissa Knight anymore. He would wait for them to turn back and come to kneel before him, begging for mercy!
Keira Olsen watched this drama unfold, thinking that Selena Horton’s tactics were really clever, having fooled Oliver Horton into this state.
But Oliver Horton was a scumbag to begin with, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easily fooled.
Keira Olsen still knew Jake Horton quite well.
He was a capable man. Back in university, he had joined the student council and even became the president of it. It was just that his life had always been controlled by his mother and father.
Now that he has awakened, his future will not be bad.
Just then, she heard Selena Horton speak up: “However, little brother Jake did graduate from a prestigious school and is quite capable. If he really finds a job, I’m afraid he won’t come back to admit his mistakes anytime soon p>
Upon hearing this, Oliver Horton sneered: “Without my permission, I’d like to see who dares to employ him p>
After speaking, he strode out, “I’m going to notify everyone now, any enterprise that cooperates with the Horton Group is forbidden to hire Jake Horton p>
After Oliver Horton and Selena Horton left, Keira Olsen then turned her gaze to Lewis Horton and signaled Nathan Horton with her eyes.
Lewis Horton inquired in a detached tone: “Dad, does Jake’s wife still need shares now? Oh, that’s wrong, Jake no longer has a wife… No, it seems that the first branch of the family doesn’t have a son anymore p>
Nathan Horton:!
He flung his sleeves in anger and turned to leave.
Peace finally returned to the small restaurant, and Old Mrs. Horton, looking at Keira Olsen, couldn’t help but smile fondly: “You! This move is called pulling the rug from under their feet! You directly kicked Jake Horton out of the house, and there is no need for Serena Clark to exist p>
Keira Olsen returned her smile.
However, Old Mrs. Horton looked outside: “Actually, Jake has always been very filial to me, and he isn’t a bad child… it’s just that he took the wrong path before. Sigh, I don’t understand why Oliver Horton doesn’t care about such a good child p>
Keira Olsen lowered her eyes: “Because a crying baby gets milk p>
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Horton paused for a moment, then nodded after a while: “Yes, a crying baby gets milk. Selena Horton cries and throws fits, and Oliver Horton’s heart leans toward her p>
Jake Horton took Melissa Knight out of the house, planning to stay in a hotel at first, but when he tried to pay with his card, he found that his bank card had been stopped.
Melissa Knight’s card had been stopped as well.
Both of them felt utterly humiliated at the hotel’s front desk.
Oliver Horton was watching them from not far away, sneering.
Selena Horton laughed: “Dad, your move is brilliant. Without money, brother and aunt will surely come home p>
Oliver Horton scoffed: “They’re still too green to fight against me p>
Melissa Knight was anxious: “Had I known this before leaving, I would have brought some jewelry with me p>
Jake Horton frowned and eventually pulled out his wallet, only to find that there was still just over a thousand yuan inside.
He spoke up directly: “Mom, let’s go rent a short-term apartment first p>
This thousand yuan wasn’t even enough for a night’s stay in this hotel.
Melissa Knight wanted to say something, but looking at Jake Horton, she finally nodded: “Alright p>
In the end, they rented a basement under the guidance of a real estate agent for eight hundred yuan a month. The few hundred yuan left over was only enough for a few days’ meals.
Jake Horton went out looking for work but was met with repeated rejections.
All companies rejected him outright upon seeing his resume.
Jake Horton wouldn’t give up and finally barged into an interview room: “Why won’t you hire me p>
The other party politely said: “Mr. Jake, your father has given instructions that if we dare to hire you, we might ruin our relationship with the Horton Group in the future p>
It was then that Jake Horton realized he had been blacklisted by large and medium-sized enterprises.
Walking home in a daze, he suddenly felt a complete failure.
He was truly out of money and didn’t even have the fare to leave the city p>
He could only find a job in a supermarket, earning some pocket money.
That day, just after he had moved a barrel of water for the supermarket and stepped outside, he saw a luxury car parked at the entrance.
Oliver Horton stood in front of the car, watching him darkly: “Do you regret it now? As long as you are willing to admit your mistake and come home with me, and meekly marry Serena Clark, I’ll let you return to your previous life p>
However, Jake Horton lowered his head and gave a bitter smile: “Dad, do you know what my greatest realization has been these past three days p>
“What p>
“I can finally support myself with my own hands. Even if I can’t eat bread, I won’t starve. For the first time, I felt what freedom is. So p>
Jake Horton looked at him firmly: “I’m not going to go home with you p>
Upon hearing this, Oliver Horton immediately became livid with rage: “I’ll buy this supermarket right now, and see how you find work then p>
Jake Horton hadn’t expected him to go this far, and immediately took off his gloves: “It doesn’t matter, I can still go work on a construction site moving bricks p>
Previously, I thought that after you suffer a bit, you would turn back. Now, I see you enjoy it. Do you think you can find such work in the future?” Oliver Horton screamed hysterically.
Jake Horton paused: “Aren’t you leaving me any way out p>
“Unfilial son! If you don’t obey me, why should I leave you any way out!” Oliver Horton looked down at him from a position of authority, his words filled with command: “This is what you get for not listening to me! No one will give you a job opportunity, you and your mother will simply starve to death p>
Almost immediately after these words fell, a voice came through: “Who says no one will give him a job p>
