Chapter 709: Chapter 708
Oliver Horton saw Jake Horton hesitating to speak and sneered, “Weren’t you just saying it’s impossible? Why are you silent now? Let tell you, if you want to regret, this is your last chance!”
Jake Horton lowered his eyes, “I said it’s impossible because… the courthouse won’t manage divorce and marriage on the sa day, Dad, don’t you even know that much?”
Oliver Horton: ??
His expression instantly darkened, and his smirk disappeared imdiately, staring at Jake Horton angrily, “How dare you speak to like this?”
Jake Horton: “I’m just giving you a heads-up.”
Oliver Horton took a deep breath, “Fine, fine, you traitor. Today, I will kick you and your mother out of the house!”
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 eting on my side…”
He paused for a mont, unsure of how to ask for leave.
After all, there were only the two of them on the company’s board at the mont.
While he was thinking, Oliver Horton spoke again, “What now? Looking for an excuse not to attend? A board eting when your company has just been established, what board eting could you possibly have!”
Jake Horton furrowed his brows, “I an, let’s postpone the board eting; I’ll accompany my mother to the courthouse first.”
Keira Olsen nodded, “Okay, let’s et up after you’re done.”
After speaking, she glanced at Lewis Horton and Old Mrs. Horton.
It was said that it’s best to spend quality ti 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 co ho to report all business matters.”
Old Mrs. Horton had a fondness for this great-grandson, so providing Jake Horton with an opportunity to visit was a way to make ands 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 co every day to update you on the business schedules.”
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 co to accompany Great Grandmother every day? Is it because you want the shares she holds?”
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 welco? An utterly pointless effort, I say it’s just an excuse to run back ho!”
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!”
But unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Jake Horton pulled out a bus card, “I ca by bus, naturally, I will leave by bus as well.”
Oliver Horton was stunned, “How can you travel by bus?”
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!”
Leaving these words behind, Jake Horton walked away directly.
Oliver Horton watched his erect back and suddenly beca furious, “This little bastard! I bet he just wants to hurt ! 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!”
Selena Horton imdiately supported his other arm, “Dad, you still have mom and .”
Oliver Horton then relaxed, “Right, I still have you both!”
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 sa backbone!”
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 lissa Knight surely wouldn’t dare to go to the courthouse to divorce him!
He could almost imagine it; either lissa Knight would call soon, claiming she has no mode of transportation and can’t make it…
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 lissa Knight or Jake Horton there. He imdiately called lissa Knight, “Where are you? You don’t want to co, do you?”
But unexpectedly, just as he spoke, the next second, a voice hurried from around the corner, “I’m coming, I’m coming!”
Oliver Horton abruptly turned his head, just to see almost fifty-year-old lissa Knight wearing sports sneakers, arriving on a shared bicycle, stopped right in front of him.
