Oliver scoffed. "What nonsense are you spouting? If she was really after my money, she wouldn't have stayed with me for all these years without a proper title."

Melissa shook her head. "Fine. But one day, when you lose everything, let's see if she'll still be by your side."

Marisa immediately stepped forward. "Melissa, don't project your own thoughts onto everyone else. I will always stay by Oliver's side."

Melissa let out a sarcastic laugh. "Sure, he might never lose his money in this lifetime, so you can keep playing this role forever..."

She then lowered her gaze and said, "Oliver, back when I married you, I didn't bring much money. But at that time, you were just an unrecognized son in the family, and I'd heard how rough your situation was at home. I could've chosen someone better, but I picked you because I genuinely loved you once. So, let's part ways peacefully."

After saying this, Melissa left with Jake, walking away without looking back.

Oliver watched them leave, his jaw clenched tightly.

In the end, he drove Marisa and Selena back home.
