Oliver chimed in, "Granduncle, you don't understand. Melissa and Jake are only after my money. But Marisa and Selena? They genuinely care about me. Just look at how much my relationship with Grandma has improved since they arrived. It's all thanks to them. They're much more respectful than Melissa and Jake!"
