675 Chapter 674

Oliver's roar made Jake tighten his jaw.

He steadied Melissa. "Mom, let's go."

The words took Oliver by surprise.

He hadn't expected Jake to actually leave and frowned in confusion.

Nathan was immediately displeased.

While Selena brought benefits to the Horton family, Nathan knew well the value of a granddaughter versus a grandson. He spoke up, "Where do you think you're going, Jake? There's no overnight feud between father and son. Apologize to your father, and let's move past this."

Oliver lifted his chin, looking down at Jake with a sneer. "Let him go if he wants. Once he's out of the Horton family, let's see how he manages!"

He was confident Jake had lived a life of luxury and would find it hard to leave behind.

Jake replied with a wry smile, "Grandpa, I'll come back to visit."

Before Nathan could respond, Oliver scoffed, "Visit? Once you're gone, you're no longer part of the family. Don't bother coming back! Do you think you can mooch off your grandfather?"

Nathan snapped, "Oliver! Don't be so harsh with Jake!"

"Harsh?" Oliver said, his anger rising. "Dad, didn't you hear what he said? He's abandoning me as his father, so why would he care about you as his grandfather? If he does come back, it will be only to beg for money!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jake's jaw tightened. "Don't worry. I won't take a cent from the Horton family."

Melissa immediately protested, "Jake, don't be ridiculous. Everything here belongs to you. What do you mean you won't take anything?"

Oliver sneered, "See? Even now, it's all about the Hortons' money! Melissa, I'm giving you a choice. Stay here and let this ungrateful son leave."

Melissa was momentarily stunned, but Selena spoke up, "Aunt Melissa, you should stay. That way, at least Jake won't be left struggling without any support… Staying here will at least keep him from starving."

Melissa was immediately enraged. "How dare you say that?! My son can take care of himself!"

Selena retracted slightly. "I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to say… Dad, I'm not looking down on Jake. I just think Aunt Melissa should think this through."

Oliver sneered, "Think it through? Does she even have a brain? Melissa, if you want to stay, you have to sever all ties with Jake! Otherwise, you both go to the ancestral hall and kneel there for five days and nights. After that, go marry Eve Clark, and then we can consider this settled…"

Melissa looked at him in disbelief. "You want me to kneel in the ancestral hall? All because of a few words from this illegitimate daughter?"
