Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 2

Getting off the plane, Jessica took the subway directly to the hospital. Her grandmother was still unconscious.

She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror with a pale face, her swollen eyes looked like eggs, and her messy hair made her look like a lunatic. She secretly shouted in her heart, 'I must cheer myself up at this moment, I must not break down.'

Jessica went to the first floor to pay the bill. Seeing the money in her bank card getting less and less, she didn't know how long it would last.

For the past few days, Jessica had been waiting at the hospital all day and night for her grandma until the maid at home called to tell her that Jason and Marina were back, so she went back home.

Before Jessica walked into the living room, she heard Marina and Tina talking.

"Mom, Jessica hasn't come back yet. She didn't commit suicide, did she?"

"Look at her, she won't die, and even if she dies, we have to get her back. Our plan hasn't been completed yet. "

"Jessica, you're back. " Nanny Lisa walked past her with two cups of bird's nest in her hands.

The living room instantly fell silent.

Jessica glanced at Tina and went straight upstairs to the study.

Jessica knocked on the door, but there was no response. She pushed the door open and went in.

"Dad, did you know about Tina and Vincent?" Jessica angrily questioned Jason.

"Jessica, since this is the case, don't mention it anymore. The two of them are in love. This matter is not up to you to decide. " Jason was playing with a cigar box and didn't even look at her.

Since Marina brought Tina into the White family, Jason has been cold to her. He paid more attention to his illegitimate daughter.

"Why is it not up to me?"

Jason looked at her coldly, "Of course, we will compensate you for this and find you a better husband."

"We?" Ever since Jason remarried, she has been excluded from the White family.

Jessica licked her dry lips, "I don't need you to worry about me. Right now, I just want my mother's things back, and I'll cut off all ties with the White family. "

This time Jason panicked a little because he had promised the William family that he would marry his daughter to the disabled son of the Williams family at the end of the month.

Tina had already regretted her engagement to Oliver because of his illness. If Jessica left, he would have completely offended Williams.

"My good daughter, don't let your emotions get the better of you. " Jason walked around the table and pulled Jessica to sit down to talk. "What do you want? Tell Dad, I'll definitely satisfy you. "

Jessica didn't know how to ask him for money, but since Jason said so, she didn't stand on ceremony, after all, it was Jason who owed her.

She composed herself, "I want five million. "

When Jason heard that, he was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table.

But then he thought about it. This time, he could bring up the engagement to the Williams. 'She wants money? The Williams is the wealthiest in Birmingham!'

"Jessica, you know that the expenses of my company are very high. There's also a problem with the cash flow right now. "

Jason began to show weakness and complain in front of her.

The White Group was originally a property left behind by Jessica's grandpa, but after Jessica's mother died, Jason took it over.

Jessica knew the company was going downhill, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to make ends meet. Of course, she knew she couldn't trust Jason.

"My grandma is in the hospital. I need money. Don't tell me that you can't even afford a few hundred thousand. "

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can give your grandmother the best treatment, but you have to promise me one thing. "

Jessica's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. "Go ahead. "

"Marry Oliver Williams. "

'Oliver Williams, this name sounded a bit familiar.'

'The Williams is the biggest family in Birmingham, and Oliver should be a member of this family. If there's no benefit, Jason won't let me marry into the Williams.'

'I had nowhere to go now. What is the big deal about marrying someone? As long as I could save my grandmother, I could do anything.'

"I can marry him, but you have to give me $500,000 first, and I have to pay my grandma's surgery fees. " Jessica was afraid that if she really got married first, she would not be able to get a single cent, so she had to get through this difficult situation.

Jason saw that his daughter agreed, opened the safe box, and took out a card from inside, "There's $500,000 in the card. But you must write an agreement first. "

Jessica got the money, signed the agreement, and went straight back to the hospital, where she paid the bill and hired another nurse.

When she returned to the ward, her grandma had already woken up. She looked much better than a few days ago.

"Jesse, when are you going to get married?" Her grandma's old hands grabbed Jessica tightly as tears welled up in her eyes. "If he treats you badly, don't wrong yourself. "

Her grandma had been sick for so many days, but she didn't see her fiancé in the hospital. She was just sick but she knew everything.
