Chapter 703
Oliver Horton immediately turned to look at Selena Horton.
Selena Horton sobbed, “It’s nothing, I can handle it p>
Her subdued appearance made Oliver Horton feel even more heartache: “What on earth happened? Tell me quickly p>
Selena Horton looked at Oliver Horton with a wronged expression, “It’s just that, my mother-in-law always criticizes my origins, and she said I’m an illegitimate daughter, that marrying her son was my fortune from a previous life. She told me to learn from my mom, to have a capacity for tolerance, to bring several women to my husband, to have more children… she also said p>
Marisa Walsh immediately became anxious: “What else did she say p>
“She also said that once I have children, they should be raised by her, saying that having children under the name of an illegitimate daughter like me would sound disgraceful! Wuu wuu wuu p>
Selena Horton started to cry.
Marisa Walsh immediately said angrily, “How can she say that? It’s all my fault, it’s because I am a mistress, I’ve ruined your future! My dear daughter, you are really pitiful p>
Selena Horton then said, “Mom, I’m okay, I don’t care about these things, it’s just that I’ve been thinking about this recently, thinking about being separated from my children in the future, it makes me unhappy p>
Marisa Walsh immediately said, “It’s because of this that you showed a troubled expression in front of old Mrs. Horton today, isn’t it? That’s why Old Mrs. Horton kicked you out p>
Selena Horton nodded, “Aside from my young uncle monopolizing Great Grandmother, this is also a reason. After all, which family’s elder doesn’t want to see their happy younger generation? But I’m okay p>
She wiped away tears, “Dad, I’m fine, I’ll definitely smile more happily tomorrow p>
Marisa Walsh, however, started to cry: “Seeing you smile like that makes me want to cry even more, wuu wuu wuu, how are we to show our filial piety to Old Mrs. Horton like this p>
As the mother and daughter wept and wailed, Oliver Horton became anxious: “Stop crying, Selena. You’ve suffered these years because of your identity, I didn’t know you’d been so mistreated! I’m going to divorce Melissa Knight and marry your mom right now! Let’s see who dares to gossip about you two in secret p>
Upon hearing this, Selena Horton and Marisa Walsh exchanged glances.
Selena Horton immediately said, “Dad, this isn’t good, is it? After all, Jake is your son p>
Marisa Walsh also said, “Yes, we’re fine. Doing this, how can Jake ever come home again p>
Oliver Horton was originally irritated by their crying, feeling that they were manipulating him by using the duty of showing filial piety to his grandmother, but unexpectedly, once he proposed it, they rejected the idea, which made him feel very content!
He directly said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s settled, I’ll go find Melissa Knight and divorce p>
After he finished speaking, he walked forward: “I’m going to call her now p>
Once he walked away to make the call, Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton exchanged a look and both smiled subtly.
Selena Horton lowered her voice, “Mom, after you marry Dad, I’ll have shares in the Horton Family p>
Marisa Walsh nodded, “Right! I’ve endured so much all these years just for this day, and finally, it’s arrived p>
Selena Horton spoke again, “But, did you ever truly love Dad p>
Marisa Walsh tucked her hair behind her ears and sneered, “Love? What is love? Daughter, remember that the money you hold in your hand is what matters most! As for men… they are just a tool! Love is for when there is money, without money, what’s there to love p>
As Marisa Walsh spoke, she glanced at Oliver Horton.
Selena Horton laughed, “I know, Mom p>
At that moment, Oliver Horton had already come back: “I’ve made the call, we’ll head to the courthouse tomorrow p>
Marisa Walsh: “Okay p>
They were completely unaware that, not far away, Keira Olsen had overheard every word of their conversation.
She sneered and turned away.
It didn’t matter that Oliver Horton couldn’t see the true faces of Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton now, nor did his arrogance p>
The day when grandmother would no longer be around would be the day he’d be kicked out of the house.
When he has nothing left, won’t he then see everyone’s true faces?
Keira Olsen was in no rush, nor did she have any intention of meddling in the affairs of the first branch of the family; she quietly turned back and entered the courtyard of Old Mrs. Horton.
Lewis Horton was there, calming himself.
Keira Olsen walked over and asked, “Are you really going to let them come to see grandmother p>
Lewis Horton lowered his gaze, “Grandmother never expresses it, but she actually likes to be surrounded by her grandchildren. Since that’s the case, they should come forward to show filial piety! But as to how genuine that filial piety is, that’s anyone’s guess p>
He sneered, “Moreover, grandmother is not a fool, don’t worry p>
Keira Olsen immediately understood.
Grandmother wouldn’t give them shares just because they accompany her for a month… On the contrary, they’d wrack their brains to please grandmother for a month because they wanted her shares.
Making grandmother happy and joyful was Lewis Horton’s greatest wish at this time.
No wonder he was willing to let Oliver Horton’s family come over.
As Keira Olsen pondered, her phone suddenly rang.
She noticed it was an unknown number, frowned, and answered it; a voice came through from the other side: “Rabbit? Hello, I’m the Lioness p>
