Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 22

There were only her and Jessica last time, and Jessica didn't notice that it was her who deliberately locked Jessica into the storage room. Today, she didn't even have to do it herself. She just needed to say a few words and Jessica could offend those rich girls. Catherine sneered secretly and returned to normal.

Catherine looked at Jessica as if they were close. "Ladies, let me introduce her to you. This is my colleague, Jessica. She is pretty and outstanding. Although she is new here, she's highly valued by our president. If you want to know more about our president, you can ask Jessica. Don't underestimate her."

Jessica hated Catherine to say so. She just smiled and said. "Don't you want to enjoy those beautiful paintings? I'll give you a tour of the exhibition hall."

A lady named Zelda said, "Miss White is so beautiful. It's a pity to work as a guide."

Jessica smiled and said, "Thank you. Pretty face couldn't earn money. I have to work hard to support myself."

As they were talking, a waiter came over with red wine.

Catherine said, "Ladies, let's enjoy the painting while tasting the wine."

Everyone had a glass of wine in their hands, and Jessica led them all the way.

Suddenly, Zelda accidentally stepped on Alice's dress. The red wine in Alice's hand spilled on her own dress. This dress was customized in France, and Alice wanted to dazzle Oliver with this dress. Before she could say hello to Oliver, her dress was dirty, and even her good mood was ruined. She looked especially gloomy.

Zelda looked at the particularly eye-catching dark red wine stains on Alice's sky-blue dress and knew that she had pissed Alice off. She whispered in her ear, "It's Jessica. She must be jealous, so she deliberately stepped on your dress to make you look bad."

After hearing Catherine's introduction just now, Alice knew that Jessica was not easy to deal with. Her face was terribly pretty. This poor woman could be favored by Oliver, so it seemed that she was very clever.

Alice turned around to exchange her wine with Zelda and raised her hand, trying to pour red wine on Jessica's face.

Jessica was on guard when she heard how Catherine introduced her to them. She found that Alice's eyes were full of hatred to her and immediately understood what she was going to do. She subconsciously grabbed Alice's arm.

Alice was furious and shouted. "How dare you. Let go of me."

Jessica looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Miss Zamani, I didn't step on your dress. You shouldn't waste your red wine on me."

While they were confronting, Catherine whispered, "Mr. President is here."

Alice leaned forward to Jessica and poured a glass of red wine onto a scroll of landscape painting hanging next to them.

Jessica immediately let go of her hand. She did not expect Alice to destroy the painting in front of so many people. If this were to spread, no one would be willing to put their work in the Williams Group exhibition.

Jessica said, "Miss Zamani, you're really going too far."

The people around them were all dumbfounded.

Then they heard a delicate voice calling, "Oliver". Alice ran to Oliver with her dress raised.

In Oliver's memory, Alice was like his little sister. He did not expect that she had grown up to be a beautiful woman after so many years that he had not seen her.

"Alice, here you are."

"Oliver, your favorite employee spilled red wine all over me." As Alice spoke, her eyes turned to Jessica.

Jessica heard this clearly and said, "Mr. Williams, I didn't do it. You should have seen what happened just now. Miss Zamani spilled red wine on the painting. I just checked. This painting happens to belong to Mr. Lambert. Please inform him in time. The painting may be saved now. It won't be good if the wine is dry later."

When Oliver heard from Jessica it was Lambert's painting, he was even more indifferent.

Alice saw that Oliver didn't fancy this woman at all. She said with an aggrieved face, "Oliver, she deliberately held my hand to pour the wine on the painting and wanted me to take the blame."

Oliver looked at Jessica with a cold look in his eyes and opened his lips, "You did a terrible job."

"You..."

Jessica was speechless.

'You motherf*cker! Pathetic jerk! F*ck you! Both of you!'

Jessica thought she was a good quality woman, but she really couldn't control herself anytime when she saw Oliver's stupid face.

This stupid man was unreasonable in front of the beautiful woman. "Mr. Williams, there are surveillance cameras here. Please take a look at the surveillance footage."

Seeing that something was wrong, Catherine sneaked out and contacted Lambert to see how badly Jessica had destroyed his painting.

Oliver said, "Seeing is not believing, not to mention there is a blind spot in the surveillance."

"So, Mr. Williams thinks I set up Miss Zamani?"

Oliver did not answer Jessica's question.

"You are too pathetic, Mr. Williams." Jessica finally spoke out what she wanted to say, well, in a polite way. Her words made Oliver completely shocked.

While Alice and the others were going to give this stubborn silly girl a hard time.

After all, she was the First Young Lady of the Zamani Family. Although she didn't draw paintings, she had been exposed to them since she was a little girl, so she had good eyes. She deliberately splashed this painting on this one because it looked better and more expensive.

"How dare you say that? You have to compensate it." Alice motioned for Zelda to take a photo as evidence.

Zelda said, "She is poor. She can't afford to pay for this painting even if she sells herself.."

After a while, Lambert came in. Seeing that his painting which he had been painting for almost a year was ruined, he felt heartbroken. He cherished this painting very much. Though he had always been modest and gentle, he wore a gloomy expression instantly.

Lambert had heard what Catherine said just now. Looking at the people around, he roughly understood.

Sally came at this time. She was the curator of the art exhibition tonight. Just now, she was busy entertaining her artist friends. When she heard that something happened, she also came to check.

She found that the scene was awkward. To lighten up the atmosphere, she smiled and said to Alice, "Hi, Miss Zamani. If you want to see the art exhibition. I can accompany you."

"Sally, you're here just in time. Let's see how to deal with the woman."

"I'll take care of it. You can go change first." At a glance, Sally saw that Alice's clothes got dirty.

Seemingly, Alice was waiting for a good show, so she didn't want to leave.

Since Lambert was here, Jessica didn't want to talk to them anymore. She said to Lambert, "Mr. Williams, let's save the painting first."

Lambert didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out to take the painting off.

Fortunately, his landscape painting was painted on high-quality art paper and it was a piece of meticulous landscape. The high-quality art paper would not break even if it was washed with water.

His drawing tools were in the hotel room. Before the wine stains became dry, he quickly washed it so it could restore its original appearance.

Lambert took the painting out of the hall.

Jessica followed, "Mr. Williams, let me help you."

No matter what, she was a staff member and she was not blameless.

They watched Lambert and Jessica leave, with subtle expressions on their faces.
