Chapter 711 - 710
Oliver Horton sneered, "What nonsense are you spouting? If she truly wanted to scheme for my wealth, she wouldn’t have stayed with me for so many years without recognition or status!"
Melissa Knight shook her head, "Fine, if one day you’re left with nothing, let’s see if she’s still by your side!"
Marisa Walsh immediately stepped forward, "Melissa Knight, don’t assume everyone is just like you. I will definitely stay by Oliver’s side forever!"
Melissa Knight let out a cold laugh, "Sure, maybe he’ll never have a day where he’s without money in his entire life. So you can act out your role for a lifetime..."
She paused, lowering her gaze. "Oliver Horton, back when I married you, even though I didn’t bring much as my dowry, you were just a neglected illegitimate child in the family at that time. I heard your situation at home was bad. I could’ve chosen someone better, but I still chose you because I truly liked you once. So, let’s just part amicably."
After saying this, Melissa Knight left with Jake Horton.
Oliver Horton watched their retreating figures, his jaw clenching tightly.
In the end, he drove Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton back home.

To Kiera’s surprise, Melissa Knight was also there, bowing and apologizing to Old Mrs. Horton, "I’m sorry, Old Mrs. Horton... I was so blind and foolish before. I did so many things that angered you."
