---
The room was heavy with tension. Oliver immediately looked around, feeling the weight of every gaze upon him. Everyone who had stayed behind to witness Lewis's judgment of him — aside from a few members of the Olsen family who remained to support Lewis — were all members of the Horton family. And among them, standing quietly to the side, were Jake and Melissa.
It was strange how life worked in such mysterious and ironic ways. When old Mrs. Horton passed away, Keira had been the one to inform Jake so he could pay his final respects to his grandmother. Upon hearing the news, Melissa had also come on her own, uninvited but present nonetheless.
People truly were such fascinating creatures.
When Melissa had lived in the Horton household, she was constantly on edge — disrespectful, bitter, and full of venom. She had never shown old Mrs. Horton the slightest sign of respect. But after spending some time living away from that toxic environment and learning how to let go of her grudges, Melissa had mellowed significantly. Now, she seemed like a regular mother, looking more at peace than ever before.
Throughout the funeral, she had played the part of the eldest daughter-in-law flawlessly, ensuring that nothing went wrong and no one had anything to gossip about.
At this moment, she too was looking at Oliver.
And strangely enough — inexplicably, even — Oliver didn't feel any sense of humiliation being judged by Lewis. That was fine. He could handle his brother's cold disdain. But that single glance from Melissa? It hit him with a wave of shame like nothing he had ever felt before.
How dare she look at him like that?
Melissa — the woman who used to live her days tiptoeing around his moods, who would grovel and beg to keep him at home for the night — now gazed at him with something that looked suspiciously like pity.
Oliver scoffed, his voice dripping with defensive arrogance. "You don't know anything. Marisa left with Selena earlier when this woman showed up. Marisa was worried it might cause too much attention, so they went ahead. She left to avoid stirring up trouble. But we agreed — she and Selena will come pick me up today."
As he said this, Oliver's eyes darted toward Lewis with barely concealed hostility. "You're not planning to take back their money too, are you? That money is mine! It has nothing to do with Horton family assets!"
Lewis let out a cold laugh.
But before he could respond, Oliver shouted again, his voice cracking with desperation. "You and I both know what really happened with Grandma! I owe you nothing, Lewis! I did nothing wrong! You better watch yourself!"
With the video evidence against him, there was no way to clear his name for what he had done to old Mrs. Horton. That battle was lost, and Oliver knew it.
Realizing this, Oliver made a quick decision. He would cling to the assets he had given to Marisa and Selena over the years. He had truly been blinded by their manipulation, sending large sums of money to Marisa regularly. He had even given Selena a generous amount when she married. He had even asked Nathan for more money to provide for them.
Altogether, it added up to quite a few million.
Sure, it couldn't compare to the Horton family's massive fortune, but it was better than walking away with nothing.
Lewis was ruthless. That was a fact Oliver had learned the hard way, over and over again. Back when old Mrs. Horton was alive, Lewis still had a sense of familial loyalty. But now that she was gone, Oliver knew — he had lost. There was no winning this now.
Lewis replied calmly, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "We won't take that money back. But are you so sure you can still get to it?"
"Of course I can! That money belongs to Marisa! I'm sure she and Selena are waiting for me to come home!"
Oliver sneered after saying this, clinging to his delusions like a drowning man clutching at straws.
Nathan, standing nearby, spoke up with a hint of concern. "Oliver, why give up without even fighting?"
Oliver laughed bitterly, a hollow sound that echoed through the room. "Grandma always favored Lewis, even until her dying breath. Do you think fighting would've changed anything? I want no part of this."
He glanced around the room, his gaze passing over every member of the Horton family before letting out a cold chuckle. "I don't want anything from this family."
With that, his eyes fixed on old Mrs. Horton's memorial. He stared at it for a long, heavy moment, his expression a storm of conflicting emotions. Then he laughed bitterly again, shouting at the photograph, "Grandma, you never had any love for me, did you? I can't for the life of me understand what made Lewis so special that you would go to such lengths for him. You didn't even leave me a single share of the company! If that's how you felt, you should've just said it outright instead of playing these games to provoke me!"
Lewis frowned deeply. "What are you talking about?"
"Am I wrong?"
Oliver turned to glare at him, his eyes burning with resentment. "No one else knows what really happened that day, but what about her will? I bet all the shares went to you, right?! Well, we're all here, so why don't we bring out her will and show everyone? Let's see just how much she favored you over me!"
His chest heaved with anger, each breath ragged and furious.
Even though he had already made his decision to leave, the bitterness still stung like a fresh wound. He had lived in the Horton family for over thirty years, all with the hope of securing a portion of the company shares. Now, he was leaving with nothing.
It wasn't fair!
Julius frowned deeply, his expression troubled.
Nathan coughed, trying to intervene. "Let's not bring out the will right now..."
"Why not? Dad, are you taking Lewis's side now too?"
Oliver's eyes were filled with rage as he stared at Nathan. "Is it because I'm being kicked out that you've decided to side with your second son? Well, too bad! It's already too late for that!"
He took a step closer, glaring at Julius with naked hostility. "As a member of the Horton family, I have the right to see the will. I demand that you make it public! If you don't, then you must be hiding something!"
Flustered, Nathan tried to speak, but his words were cut short as Oliver's accusations made him choke with frustration.
Julius sighed heavily, the weight of the situation pressing down on him. "Oliver, why are you making things so difficult? There's no need for this to get ugly."
Oliver scoffed. "You all pushed me to this point! So, let's get it out in the open! Show everyone the will — let the second branch of the Horton family see it, let the Olsen family see it. Let everyone see just how biased Grandma was!"
Julius opened his mouth to speak, but Lewis interrupted him calmly, his voice steady and cold. "Uncle Julius, show him."
With that, the room fell completely silent.
All eyes were now on Julius.
He sighed deeply, a sound that seemed to carry the weight of years.
Nathan stood up quickly as if to stop him, but Julius reached into his bag and pulled out old Mrs. Horton's will.
Oliver's eyes locked onto that document, burning with a desperate need to expose what he believed was injustice. Even if he was about to leave, he wanted the entire Horton family to see how unfairly old Mrs. Horton had treated him. He wanted them to know that Lewis's position as chairman was unjustified — granted solely by her favoritism.
Then they heard Julius slowly begin to read...
---
As Oliver stood there, his expression darkened and his eyes filled with bitterness, Julius began reading aloud from the will in a solemn, even tone:
"The late Mrs. Horton held a 20% stake in Horton Group, three properties — two in Oceanion, one in Clance — and $900 million in savings, along with a collection of jewelry. As per her last will, she has left 5% of her Horton Group shares to her granddaughter-in-law."
Oliver let out a derisive laugh. "You all heard that, right? Even an outsider like Keira gets 5% of the shares, but what about us from the main branch? Nothing!"
Before anyone could respond, Julius glared at Oliver with steel in his eyes. "You'll shut your mouth until I finish reading."
Oliver sneered. "Finish it all you want. The result's the same — nothing for us."
Julius continued reading in that same even tone: "The remaining 15% of her shares will be divided equally between her son, Nathan Horton, her grandson, Lewis Horton, and her great-grandson, Jake Horton. Each of them will receive 5%. The two Oceanion properties go to Lewis Horton, while the Clance property is left to Jake Horton. Her $900 million in savings is to be split equally among the three heirs. The entire collection of jewelry is bequeathed to Keira Olsen."
The room fell into an immediate, deafening silence after Julius finished.
No one moved. No one spoke. Even Oliver was at a loss for words, staring in disbelief at the document Julius held in his hand.
"How is that possible? This doesn't make any sense... There's no way she left something for us..."
Julius fixed his gaze on Oliver, his voice heavy with meaning. "That's right, Oliver. Originally, the shares meant for the main branch were intended for you. But because of your actions, all inheritance from your branch is now transferred to Jake."
Oliver staggered back, his legs giving way beneath him as he muttered in disbelief. "No... this can't be happening..."
Lewis, who had been standing silently, finally spoke, his voice cold and precise. "Grandma may have favored me in some ways, but she never neglected the main branch. Oliver, do you get it now?"
Oliver shook his head, eyes wide with shock. "No, this is impossible..."
He turned to Jake, fury flashing in his eyes, and rushed toward him. "I'm your father! You better hand over those shares to me right now!"
Before Jake could respond, Lewis's voice cut in coldly, sharp as a knife. "You've been exiled from the Horton family. All shares that were once under your name have been transferred to Jake. Don't worry. We won't let the main branch disappear."
Oliver froze, blinking in shock.
"Not let the main branch disappear?" he stammered, his voice breaking.
But they were throwing him out. He turned to his father, Nathan, desperation flooding his voice. "Dad..."
But before he could get another word out, Lewis's demeanor shifted, turning ice cold.
He had tolerated Oliver's behavior for too long.
"Get him out of here!" Lewis ordered.
Nathan tried to intervene, but Lewis shot him a warning look that could freeze fire. "Anyone who dares to plead for Oliver will be removed alongside him!"
Nathan's face flushed with anger. "Have you lost your mind? You think you can boss me around now?"
Lewis looked past him to Julius. "Uncle Julius, what do you think?"
Julius didn't hesitate for a single moment. "Nathan, be quiet."
"But—"
Lewis stepped forward, his eyes locked on his father's. Any hint of warmth or filial respect had vanished completely, replaced by an icy resolve that made the temperature in the room seem to drop. "After Grandma's funeral tomorrow, I think it's time you move back to the old house with Uncle Julius."
Nathan's eyes went wide. "What did you just say?"
Lewis's face remained calm but firm. "You've always said you miss your childhood in the old house, right? Well, now you can live there in peace."
Though it was phrased like a question, the finality in Lewis's voice left no room for argument.
Nathan, stunned, stared up at his son — tall and imposing at six-foot-two, now towering over him in more ways than just height. There was only coldness in Lewis's eyes.
Nathan swallowed hard, the fight draining out of him.
Lewis turned to Julius. "Sir, I'll hand over my father to you."
Julius nodded, understanding exactly what Lewis had in mind. "Don't worry, Nathan. I'll take good care of you."
Everyone else in the room remained silent, sensing the massive power shift that had just occurred. The Horton family had just entered a new era — one where Lewis held complete, undisputed control.
The security team arrived and forcibly escorted Oliver out.
As they dragged him toward the entrance, Uncle Olsen leaned over to Keira and whispered, "You're really going to let him off that easy?"
Keira glanced at Lewis, then quietly replied, "His punishment isn't happening here. If Lewis decides to ruin someone, he'll make sure it haunts them for the rest of their life."

Outside, Jake and Melissa followed Oliver out the door, watching from a distance as the guards threw him onto the pavement like a sack of garbage.
Oliver stood there, dazed, trying to regain his composure. But before he could yell or make a scene, the family's head of security stepped forward.
"Mr. Horton, I suggest you think carefully before you cause a disturbance," he said flatly. "If you disrupt the memorial service, there's no telling what our boss might do."
The memory of Lewis's cold stare made Oliver freeze. He shut his mouth and straightened his back, trying to maintain what little dignity he had left.
Spotting Jake and Melissa, he sneered with contempt. "Here to enjoy the show? Well, don't worry about me. I'll be just fine. Unlike you two losers."
Melissa sighed, her voice carrying a weariness born from years of pain. "I'll make this quick: are we finally getting divorced or what?"
Oliver sneered again. "Oh, you don't want a divorce now? Fine. I'll give you one chance. Apologize to me, and make sure Jake hands over those shares... No, better yet, let him work for me as a puppet. We'll tear down Horton Group from the inside. And then maybe, just maybe, I won't leave you."
Melissa snorted, not holding back her disgust for even a second. "I meant, when we file, how are we splitting the assets? Do we need Jake to pay you alimony?"
Oliver fumed, his face turning red with fury. "No!"
His eyes filled with contempt as he glared at them. "You two are so obsessed with money. That's all you think about. Marisa and Selena would never stoop this low. They actually care about me, unlike you."
Seeing him still clinging to delusions about Marisa and Selena, Jake sighed and shook his head. "Just remember what you said today. When they refuse to take you in, don't come crawling back to Mom."
"Refuse? What are you talking about? I'll call them right now. They're waiting for me!"
With that, Oliver furiously pulled out his phone and dialed Marisa's number, his fingers trembling with a mix of anger and desperate hope.
The phone rang. And rang. And rang.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what an absolutely incredible chapter! This was pure Shakespearean tragedy mixed with modern corporate drama — the kind of fallout that makes your heart race and your jaw drop. Watching Oliver dig his own grave deeper and deeper with every word he spoke was both frustrating and mesmerizing. The irony is absolutely delicious — he spent his entire life resenting his grandmother's supposed favoritism toward Lewis, only to discover that she had left him a share after all, and his own cruel actions had cost him everything. The moment the will was read aloud and Oliver realized the devastating truth was absolutely gut-wrenching. Lewis's cold, calculated takeover of the entire family — including effectively exiling his own father — showed just how far he's willing to go to protect what matters. And that chilling remark from Keira about Lewis's punishment haunting Oliver for the rest of his life? Brilliant foreshadowing! This chapter earns a well-deserved rating.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on that cliffhanger ending, I predict that Oliver's phone call to Marisa will not go the way he expects. Marisa and Selena have likely already abandoned him — why would they stay loyal to a man who no longer has any money or status? I expect Oliver will face the ultimate humiliation when he realizes he's been played all along. Meanwhile, Lewis's promise to truly ruin Oliver suggests we'll see a systematic dismantling of everything Oliver holds dear. Also, with Nathan now under Julius's "care," we may witness a father-son reckoning that could reveal even deeper family secrets. And perhaps we'll finally see the romantic tension between Lewis and Keira take center stage once the family drama settles — I can't wait to find out!
