Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 13

She was sure it was not Oliver. 'He was against me going out to work this morning, so it was Lambert?'

"Well, not only does Mr. Williams draw well, but he also values talent. I can tell he treats you well."

'Sure enough, it was Lambert, I didn't expect him to help me behind the scenes. I really owed him more.'

"We're just friends, Mr. Williams is kind and generous. He helped me when he saw that I was in a bad state. " Jessica was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so she wanted to explain it clearly.

"Alright, alright, I'll help you to this point. I can't watch such a bitter scene. "

Jessica was afraid that the more she said, the harder it would be for her to explain, and it would be inconvenient for her to say more.

The next day.

The Williams Group was holding a temporary board meeting.

When Oliver walked into the conference room with vigorous steps, the people present discussed in low voices. They did not know when Oliver's leg had already been cured.

At the meeting, Oliver proposed the dismissal of Toby, because it was no longer suitable for him to take charge of the Williams Group's business in Europe. Oliver decided to transfer him to Southeast Asia.

The Williams Group couldn't be underestimated in European business, and if Oliver relocated Toby to Southeast Asia, it would take away most of his power. Among the directors present, many of them were in cahoots with Toby, so they naturally protested.

Oliver glanced at them with his cold eyes. "If someone is not satisfied, I can allow him to accompany Toby to go to Southeast Asia. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a person in a wheelchair with a head full of gauze and patient uniform came out of the door.

Everyone looked at the door at the same time. The person in the wheelchair was wrapped so tightly that it was hard to recognize him. The person who pushed him was Toby's assistant and many people knew him.

There were so many strange things today. Oliver's wheelchair was probably lent to Toby.

Toby was in the hospital, and he knew that Oliver was holding a meeting to dismiss him. He ignored the doctor's obstruction and rushed to the meeting venue to stop it no matter what.

Oliver ignored his appearance and said, "Vote. "

Toby raised his trembling hand, pointed at Oliver, and said, "You don't have the final say in the Williams Group. "

He turned his eyes back to the people he usually had a good relationship with and begged for help. However, he saw that those people were intentionally avoiding eye contact with him.

The voting results were announced on the spot, and the decision was passed by two-thirds of the votes.

Toby was so angry that he spat out blood and was immediately sent back to the hospital by his assistant.

The top brass of the company went through a major change, and the news quickly spread across the entire Williams Group.

Jessica came to work on her first day and was arranged to be in the CEO's secretary's office.

She had just gone to the tea room to make coffee for the people in the office when she heard a few women discussing inside.

"Our CEO is so awesome, he actually dismissed Toby. "

"The president is not in a wheelchair anymore. He is so handsome. I think all the women of Birmingham are willing to fight to marry him now. "

"I'm afraid you don't know. Our president is already married. I just don't know who was the president's wife. I'm so jealous. "

"If she doesn't get favored, sooner or later she will be angered to death by the beautiful women outside. "

Jessica carried the coffee back to the office and accidentally bumped into a man and accidentally spilled the coffee on him.

She hurriedly apologized. She had caused trouble on her first day here. Would she be chased out of the company by Oliver?

"Jessica, what are you doing here?"

Jessica then realized it was Lambert and asked in surprise, "Lambert, what are you doing here?"

Although Lambert was obsessed with painting, he still had a stake in the Williams Group, and he would attend important meetings.

Lambert saw that Jessica had a few cups of coffee in her hands. She had quit her painting job and came to work at the Williams Corporation. It seemed that she had been forced by Oliver. He knew that Oliver had always been cold to her.

"Jessica, how have you been?"

"I'm fine. "

"If you need any help, you can come to me directly. "

"Thank you. My grandma's problem has been solved, and there's nothing else I can do to trouble you with. "

She thought about what Sally told her last time and wanted to talk to Lambert face to face. He was Oliver's older brother, after all, and he always took care of him. She didn't want others to spread any rumors.

Lambert realized that she was dodging and did not stay any longer. He entered the elevator.

Jessica and Lambert were talking at the elevator door, and it was seen by Oliver's third-level secretary, Catherine.

In the morning, when Jessica was just brought in by the HR manager, she thought there must be something shady about this woman coming straight to the CEO's office.

Now, in the Williams Corporation, she seduced Lambert with her good looks. 'Look at her fake look, she really needs a push.'

Catherine thought about it and came up with a plan.

Oliver just lost his temper and threw everything on the floor. When Oliver was in a bad mood, whoever ran into him would suffer.

'Now it was a good time to let Jessica take on the wrath of Oliver.'

Catherine took the coffee from Jessica and said, "Jessica, the meeting records have been sorted out, right? Mr. Williams is in a hurry to use it, you can send it over now. "

Jessica took the documents and went to the president's office.

She knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response. She was afraid of delaying, so she pushed the door open and went in.

Oliver was looking down at the documents when he looked up and saw Jessica coming in. His dark eyes seemed to be dyed with ink, emitting dark rays of light.

"Who let you in?"

"I... I just came to deliver the documents. " Jessica felt the coldness in his words and explained.

Oliver's office had a large glass window, so he could see the situation outside. He also saw the scene of Jessica and Lambert talking outside.

He hated Lambert since he was young.

Lambert was his brother, but he was a half-brother. Lambert was the child of his father and his first love before he married his mother. Later, he was brought to the Williams Family and grew up by Grandpa Jeff's side.

His father Daniel and mother Maggie got together because of family marriage, but Daniel neglected Maggie for years after marriage.

When he was 15, Lambert had a disease. Daniel scolded Maggie for not taking care of Lambert. After all, he was the eldest son of the Williams Family.

Maggie took Oliver to the hospital, got into a car accident, and died on the spot, while Oliver broke his legs.

Every time he saw Lambert, he would feel a kind of physiological disgust, especially when he knew that Jessica had a special relationship with him. They even did not avoid arousing suspicion at all. It was as if there was a volcano in his heart that was about to erupt.

Jessica calmed down a little, walked up and put the file in front of Oliver, and didn't expect it to be picked up by Oliver and thrown on the ground.

She was prepared for his emotions, so she bent down and picked them up one by one.

When Jessica came in, she did not close the door. Her actions in the office were seen clearly by the people in the secretary's office. They all broke out in a cold sweat for her, except for Catherine who was gloating over her misfortune.

"When you need it, I'll send it over. " Jessica said in a flat tone, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Who told you to leave?"

"It's my first day at work. There are still many things I don't understand. Please be merciful, President Oliver. "

"You know it's your first day at work. How dare you? You have an unclear relationship with other men outside, yet you're still being like this in the company. You don't even know how to restrain yourself. "

"Don't slander me, I don't even know the people here. "

"Get out, I don't want to see you. "
