My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Jake and Melissa were stunned.

They had long known that Oliver favored the woman outside and even preferred the daughter of the mistress. However, they hadn't anticipated that, in front of his son, Oliver would choose Selena.

Selena, hearing this, managed a slight smile, though she kept her lips pressed together. She gently advised, "Dad, don't speak out of anger. Jake is the one who can carry on the family name. Jake, you should make amends. Dad's just trying to scare you!"

Jake glared coldly at Selena, his jaw tightening. He sneered, "I'd rather not have a father like this!"

Selena immediately protested, "How can you speak like that? Dad has high hopes for you, and it's all for your own good… You're really hurting his feelings!"

"High hopes? The most I've ever heard from him are his criticisms. To him, I'm nothing but a failure! A useless person!"

Jake sighed bitterly. "If that's the case, why does he even need me?"

Melissa began to cry. "Yes, in your eyes, that illegitimate daughter is a thousand times better than us, but we're your own family, too! I'm your wife! My family has an influence, and I've been enduring for you all these years. Oliver, you have no conscience!"

Selena quickly added, "Aunt Melissa, don't speak ill of Dad. He and my mom are truly in love. It's you who came between them, forcing Dad to marry you…"

"Be quiet!" Melissa shouted angrily. "If he didn't care for me, would I have had hopes? Oliver, wasn't it you who came to my family to propose? Wasn't it you who begged to marry me? You did it to compete with Lewis because my family could offer you more support! That mistress's daughter is nothing!
