Oliver glanced at Marisa and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

If Marisa could fake her behavior this well in front of Grandma, was it possible she was faking it around him, too?

But then, Oliver quickly dismissed the thought.

Selena was twenty-three now, and Marisa had been with him for twenty-five years…

Besides, he wasn't going to end up with nothing.

Not only was he fine now, but even when Grandma eventually passed, her estate would be split evenly. Just one percent of Horton Group's shares amounted to hundreds of millions—if not billions—of dollars.

Meanwhile, Keira and Jake were discussing the future development of the company, and Jake, as if he were giving an official report, even pulled up a PowerPoint presentation for her.

He looked just like he did back in college, taking things so seriously…

Keira couldn't help but smile.
