Oliver frowned. "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's how it is."

"Fine, then let them suffer out there until they come crawling back to beg me!"

Oliver let out a cold snort and turned away, not even sparing Jake and Melissa a glance. He'd wait until they came back groveling at his feet, tails between their legs!

Keira watched the drama unfold, impressed by how skillfully Selena had manipulated Oliver into this state.

But then again, Oliver was always a scumbag—no wonder he was so easily swayed.

Keira knew Jake well enough. He was capable, having joined the student council in college and even becoming its president. But his whole life had been under his parents' control.

Now that he was breaking free, things would look up for him.

Just then, Selena's voice cut through the room, "Still, with Jake's prestigious degree and skills, if he finds a decent job, he might not come crawling back anytime soon."

Oliver sneered, "Not without my permission! I dare anyone to give him a job!"

With that, he stormed out. "I'll make sure every business connected to Horton Group knows not to hire Jake!"

After Oliver and Selena left, Keira turned to Lewis and darted a glance in Nathan's direction.
