Oliver sneered, "Do you really think Marisa is interested in my money? Are you afraid I'll leave everything to Selena after I'm gone? How dare you say something like that."
Marisa sighed in relief upon hearing this.
Oliver continued, "But if needed, Marisa will definitely sign."
Jake chuckled, "If she dares to sign, I'll admit she's not after your money and will call her Aunt Marisa respectfully. How about that?"
Oliver's eyes lit up, "And then you'll come back and apologize?"
Jake stared at him, "Exactly!"
Oliver sneered, "I knew you wouldn't last out there. If you and your mom come back to apologize, I might let you both in. It's just a contract, after all. Marisa will definitely sign!"
He turned to Marisa, "Honey, let's draft a contract to show them how sincere you are!"
Marisa's eyes widened.
She bit her lip, "But…"
Jake scoffed, "What, afraid to sign? Marisa, I should remind you that once this contract is signed, it will be strictly enforced. The Horton family's contracts are reviewed by rigorous lawyers, and the division of assets will follow the contract to the letter!"
He stepped closer to Marisa, "So, are you willing to sign? My mom can go through with a divorce; are you brave enough to do the same?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Marisa bit her lip and squinted her eyes.
She glanced nervously at Selena.
Selena immediately gave her a knowing look, and Marisa understood. She declared, "I'll do it! My feelings for your father can't be measured by money!"
Oliver laughed, "Jake, did you hear that? She'll do it!"
Jake was taken aback by Marisa's words.
But just then, Selena said, "Dad, don't let Jake mislead you. Aren't you here to finalize the divorce today?"
She sighed, "Jake, if you want to come home, just do it. There's no need to use my mom as an excuse. Even if Dad divorces your mom and marries mine, my mom won't be as overbearing as yours. She'll treat you both well."
Jake's eyes widened, "You're divorcing my mom today?"
Oliver sneered, "Yes. Since you've moved out and are talking about divorce, let's get the paperwork done today!"
Oliver thought his plan was brilliant!
He didn't actually want a divorce…
No matter what, Melissa had given him a son. Although her personality wasn't as pleasant as Marisa's, and she wasn't entirely devoted to him, she had taken good care of his daily needs.
If Melissa could accept Marisa and her daughter after this, then this commotion wouldn't have been in vain!
Oliver was confident Jake wouldn't dare let his mom get a divorce.
After all, if the divorce happened, they would get nothing!
He looked at Jake with confidence and saw the latter immediately take out his phone. "Great, you're finally agreeing to the divorce. I'll notify my mom right now!"
Oliver was stunned.
He frowned, his good mood vanishing in an instant.
This wasn't how it was supposed to be…
Jake must be bluffing. Besides, with Melissa's attitude, how could she dare to get divorced? Moving out was already her biggest act of courage!
As he was thinking, Jake dialed the number, "Mom, Dad agrees to get the divorce today… Okay? We'll meet at the courthouse."
After hanging up, Jake looked at Oliver. "Let's go so Mom doesn't get impatient."
Oliver's brows furrowed tightly.
He sneered, "Let's go then! Marisa, let's go together!"
Marisa nodded immediately.
Oliver assessed Jake's expression and, seeing no reaction, said, "Get your documents. I'm divorcing her and marrying you. How convenient!"
Marisa's eyes brightened, "Alright."
Jake said, "That might not be possible."
Oliver immediately laughed.
"Look at that, the little brat is running out of excuses…"
He believed Jake wouldn't let his mom get divorced. If the divorce really happened, he and his mother would have no more ties to the Horton family!
Oliver looked down at Jake with disdain, "What? Are you having second thoughts? Let me tell you, it's too late! Unless you kneel and apologize properly and marry Eve Clark, you and your mom can forget about coming back!"
Marisa, hearing this, panicked, "Oliver, aren't you marrying me?"
Oliver looked at her, "It's just a certificate. Marisa, haven't you always said you don't care?"
Marisa was taken aback by his words.
Oliver then turned to Jake, "So, have you made up your mind?"
Jake almost rolled his eyes.
How did he ever fear this father? Now, he seemed just ordinary and overconfident beyond belief!
