My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

728 Chapter 727

Oliver immediately looked around the room.

Everyone who stayed behind to witness Lewis's judgment of him, aside from a few members of the Olsen family who remained to support Lewis, were members of the Horton family. Jake and Melissa were there as well.

They stood to the side, quietly watching him.

When old Mrs. Horton passed away, Keira informed Jake so he could pay his final respects to his grandmother. Upon hearing this, Melissa also came on her own.

People were such fascinating creatures.

When Melissa lived in the Horton household, she was constantly on edge, disrespectful, and full of bitterness. She never showed old Mrs. Horton the slightest respect. But after spending some time living away and learning how to let go, Melissa had mellowed significantly.

Now, she seemed like a regular mother, looking more at peace than ever before.

Throughout the funeral, she played the part of the eldest daughter-in-law, ensuring that nothing went wrong and that no one had anything to gossip about.

At this moment, she, too, was looking at Oliver.

Strangely enough, Oliver didn't feel any sense of humiliation being judged by Lewis. 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, who used to live her days tiptoeing around his moods, who would grovel to keep him at home for the night, now gazed at him with some sort of pity.

Oliver scoffed, "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. "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!"
