The phone had barely finished its first ring before Marisa's voice crackled through the speaker. She sounded genuinely concerned, her tone laced with urgency.
"Oliver, what's going on? Did you finish handling your things?"
A wave of relief washed over Oliver. He had been all bravado when Jake and Melissa confronted him moments ago, but deep down, he wasn't so sure of himself. Hearing the worry in Marisa's voice now made him feel like he had at least one ally left in this cold, cruel world.
"Yeah, it's done," he replied, letting out a slow breath. "You need to come pick me up."
"Pick you up? What happened? How did it go?" Marisa's voice grew tighter, trembling with anxiety.
Oliver couldn't help but feel a bit of warmth spreading through his chest. For all his bluster, he needed this. He needed someone to care.
In a low, steady voice, he explained, "Lewis kicked me out of the house. But don't worry, Marisa, we'll bounce back!"
"What?!" Marisa's voice shot up an octave. "Kicked you out? That's outrageous! When you say 'bounce back,' you have a plan, right? What's your next move?"
"Of course." Oliver allowed himself a smirk of confidence. "I haven't spent all these years in business for nothing. I've got connections and resources. Just give me the money, and we'll rebuild my empire."
There was a pause on the other end of the line. Then Marisa asked, her voice suddenly cautious, "Give you all the money? What money?"
Oliver froze, a knot forming in his stomach. "The money I've been giving you over the years."
"Oh, that money." Marisa's tone shifted, as if she were processing something uncomfortable. "Lewis kicked you out with nothing? That's ridiculous!"
"Exactly. It's beyond unfair."
"And your father? What does he think?"
"Stop asking questions," Oliver snapped, his patience wearing thin. "Just come get me. We'll talk about Dad when we're together."
"Alright, hang tight." And with that, Marisa hung up.

In an upscale neighborhood in Clance, the atmosphere was very different. Marisa set her phone down and turned to Selena, her face pale with worry.
"Your dad's been thrown out of the house," she said, her voice trembling. "If we pick him up, will it bring trouble to us?"
Selena didn't hesitate for a second. "Mom, let me make a few calls and find out what's going on." She pulled out her phone and began dialing, her fingers moving quickly.
Minutes stretched into what felt like an eternity. When Selena finally returned, her expression was one of barely concealed fear.
"Mom, I heard Lewis put the word out that anyone doing business with Dad will be cut off from the Horton family," she whispered. "If we take him in, it's going to have serious consequences."
Marisa's face went white. "What are we going to do? If we don't pick him up, he'll probably come here himself."
Selena furrowed her brows, her mind racing. "Looks like we can't stay in this house."
Marisa blinked, confused. "What do you mean?"
"Mom, start packing."

Outside the Horton residence, the air carried a sharp chill that cut straight through Oliver's thin shirt. He shivered, rubbing his arms vigorously as he scanned the distance for any sign of rescue. Beside him, Melissa watched with a mocking smile curling at her lips.
"From the way Marisa was asking questions earlier," she said, her voice dripping with skepticism, "it doesn't seem like she wants to pick you up."
"Shut up!" Oliver shot back, his pride flaring. "Marisa isn't like that at all!"
Melissa smirked. "Then what is she? Your true love?"
Oliver snorted, pulling out his phone with a triumphant flourish. "Marisa's house has security cameras. I'll show you. She's probably already on her way." He opened the camera app, desperate to prove her wrong.
The screen flickered to life, showing the driveway outside Marisa's house. A car slowly pulled out, the driver waiting by the gate. Oliver's face lit up with vindication.
"See? She's already left!" He shoved the phone toward Melissa triumphantly.
Melissa hesitated, squinting at the screen. For a moment, she wondered if she had misread the situation. Maybe Marisa was actually coming to pick him up.
But then she shrugged it off with a laugh. It didn't matter if she was wrong. If someone else was looking after Oliver, it meant Jake wouldn't have to. That was enough for her.
"Looks like you were wrong!" Oliver sneered, his confidence restored. "She's on her way, and now you have nothing to say."
Melissa turned her gaze toward him, unbothered. "I hope she does pick you up. Just don't come bothering Jake anymore."
"Heh, don't worry. Even if I were starving, I wouldn't go crawling to you two ungrateful leeches!" Oliver spat the words out like poison, then shot a glare at Jake. "You think Lewis will take care of you just because you're his favorite? Think again! Did he give you my shares when he took them away from me? No, right? He's not some charity worker!"
Suddenly, the pieces started falling into place in Oliver's mind. Lewis had schemed against him, likely with old Mrs. Horton's blessing. That was why she'd evenly split the inheritance, avoiding any drama for Lewis. His expression darkened with bitter realization.
"You people only care about money!" Oliver raged, his voice cracking with emotion. "You don't care about family! Marisa is the only one who truly loves me. You'll all get what's coming!"
Melissa shot back, her voice calm but sharp. "Let's see if Marisa actually takes you in before you keep talking like that."
Oliver pointed at his phone, his voice dripping with confidence. "Marisa's already on her way. You're just trying to stir things up—"
Before he could finish, the front door of Marisa's house opened on the screen.
Marisa stepped out with Selena, dragging a few suitcases behind them.

And that, my friends, is where the chapter leaves us dangling on the edge of a knife. The look on Oliver's face would have been priceless—if the situation weren't so utterly grim. Marisa and Selena aren't packing to welcome him; they're packing to escape. The truth is beginning to dawn, and it's colder than the night air Oliver is shivering in.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, this chapter hit hard! Watching Oliver slowly realize that the woman he trusted might not be his savior is both satisfying and heartbreaking. You can almost feel his desperation, clinging to the idea that Marisa loves him, while the readers know the terrible truth. The dramatic irony is thick, and the pacing is perfect—every dialogue exchange builds tension until the final reveal of the suitcases. Melissa's cool skepticism is a fantastic contrast to Oliver's frantic arrogance. This chapter masterfully sets up a major turning point, and I'm absolutely hooked.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Marisa and Selena are clearly fleeing with suitcases in hand, the next chapter will probably show Oliver's world crashing down completely. He'll likely realize that Marisa isn't coming to pick him up at all—she's abandoning him for good. Expect a confrontation, maybe Oliver desperately trying to chase after them, and possibly even a cold phone call that shatters his illusions once and for all. Meanwhile, Jake and Melissa might watch the drama unfold with a mix of pity and "I told you so." And if Marisa runs, that means the Horton money is gone—which could push Oliver to do something even more desperate.
