Ollie did leave Saltburn after James in effect kicked him out with a massive handicap in his pocket , which is strange view he could have had him removed and banned from the premiss without offering him a dime bag . However , Ollie in all probability posed too much of a terror to James for him to confide that he would n’t come back without a hefty fee , and his evident fear of Ollie is what led him to offer him a substantial amount . Ollie appear to have purchased a luxurious albeit smaller mansion of his own when he learns of James ' death , but it ’s not clear how much of James ' money he had used to buy it .

This could be out of fraternal protection , a selfish will to not share Ollie with Venetia , or something else . later on inSaltburn , Venetia accredit her brother ’s aftershave on Ollie , and the two start making out soon after . It ’s certainly a stretching without much concrete grounds but there could be some subtle hints pointing to an incestual romantic history between Felix and Venetia .
1Will Other Catton Family Members Try To Claim Saltburn?
Another major question concerning Ollie ’s fate is how long he will be able to hold ownership of Saltburn now that he ’s waited so long to acquire it .
