The moment Jake saw Keira, his eyes lit up.

Oliver, on the other hand, frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Keira walked over and went straight to the point. "I think your son has potential, so I'm planning to invest in him to start a company."

Oliver was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned red with anger. "So you've decided to go against me?"

Keira shrugged. "I didn't think too much about it. I just want to give an old classmate a chance."

Oliver took a deep breath, struggling to keep his temper in check. "You..."

Jake was caught off guard. He looked at Keira, wanting to ask: Are you investing in me to spite my father or because you feel sorry for me?
