Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 25

Oliver paused. It was obviously not the smell of that woman. Who dared to break into his room? He stood up and pushed the woman behind him away.

Looking back at the woman behind him, he found that she looked a little like Jessica. "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"

"Mr. Williams, sit down please. I'll talk to you slowly."

"Hurry up."

Tina was a little scared when she saw that Oliver was angry. This man was really bad-tempered. She was very sad to be rejected by him.

"Mr. Williams, I should have been your wife."

Oliver understood that the woman in front of him was Tina immediately, who was going to marry him. "I already have a wife. You should leave."

Oliver walked to the door, and opened it, signaling her to leave.

"Mr. Williams, my sister doesn't like you at all. She has had a boyfriend for many years. She married you only for money."

Tina didn't say anything about her and Vincent's secret engagement abroad. Instead, she deliberately said some bad things about Jessica.

"Are you done?"

Tina found out that Oliver was like an iceberg without emotion. No matter what she said, his expression did not change.

"Mr. Williams, I really like you. After my sister married you, I regret it. Just now, I was in my sister's room. She said that she would marry you not only because of money but also because of the power in your hands to help her grandmother treat the illness as soon as possible. Then she would win your heart and she would slowly occupy half of your wealth."

"Are you done? Get out."

"Mr. Williams, please believe me."

"Do you want me to throw you out, or get out by yourself?"

Tina knew that if she disobeyed, she couldn't get any benefits today. So she took her clothes and left Oliver's room in a dejected manner.

Oliver sat in front of the computer and found it was hard for him to focus on work again. That woman actually had a boyfriend who had been in love for many years. When Simon showed him Jessica's materials, he didn't care at all. Now that after hearing Tina's words, he began to feel curious about the reality of them.

'Since it is true, why did the man let go of that woman? It seemed that there was no real love between them.'

The more Oliver thought about it, the more confused he became.

He called Simon, "Where's that woman? Let her come over."

Simon immediately understood that Madam really didn't go. It was a bad thing.

"Mr. Williams, I'm going to invite madam over."

Simon rang the doorbell of Jessica's room once again. But Jessica was already asleep.

No one answered the door. He thought that he would be criticized if he did not complete the tasks given to him by the president. As a last resort, he called her number.

Jessica was awakened by the ringing of the phone when she was sleeping soundly. She answered the phone and asked, "Catherine, what else do you want to do?"

"Madam, it's me, Simon."

Jessica asked that subconsciously. She had been listening to Catherine's errands all day and had formed a conditioned reflex, afraid that she would make another mistake. She only sobered up a little when she heard Simon's voice, "Simon, is there something wrong?"

"Madam, Mr. Williams didn't see you in the room. He asked you to go over."

Jessica was furious, but no matter how angry she was, she couldn't get off on Simon, who was just a messenger. Oliver was the one with who she should get angry. He even didn't let her sleep.

"I got it."

Jessica hung up the phone, put her hands around her head, and cursed the evil man, "Asshole."

Reluctantly, she put on her clothes and knocked on Oliver's door.

Oliver saw the sleepy Jessica at the door and felt absurd.

'This woman is really heartless. She gave her husband's door card to her mean sister and could still fall asleep? She really doesn't care about me.'

"What do you want?" Jessica had no intention of going in.

"Come in."

"No, I have to go back to sleep."

Oliver dragged her into the room.

Jessica was a little scared. This man, despite his perverted heart, had never put his hands on her. Could it be that he was finally leaking his true colors now? She sobered up at once.

"Oliver, what are you doing?"

"Think about what you've done yourself."

"I didn't do anything in the room. Why are you being so rude to me? Are you avenging Alice?"

Asked by Jessica, he remembered the opening ceremony of the art exhibition at night and was almost ruined by this woman. "You know you did something wrong."

"I'm not wrong."

"You're really stubborn."

"I know you don't like me. I don't expect anything. I just wish we can all be at peace."

"Good talk. If you don't expect anything, why did you marry me?"

Jessica felt that this man really was a narcissist. "As I said, after one year, I will leave you."

"Are you going back to your childhood sweetheart, your ex-boyfriend, after taking advantage of me?"

Jessica was a little frightened by the man's words. It seemed that he knew something. "That's ridiculous."

Oliver looked down at Jessica. "Do you still love him?"

"No," Jessica answered firmly.

He wanted to see how hypocritical this woman could be by asking this question. He didn't expect it to be the same as he thought. This woman had been with her ex-boyfriend for so many years and now she could answer him "No". She was indeed a cruel woman.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry to deny it?"

"I don't need that. I just don't love him anymore. I'm a heartless person now, and I'll never fall in love with anyone."

Jessica's words pierced his heart. If his mother could be like the woman in front of him, she would suffer less.

"I believe you this time. Don't do anything that embarrasses yourself."

Jessica glanced at Oliver. "Don't worry. I won't. Can I leave now?"

"No, you stay here today."

"I can't. There are many people. It's not good if they see me here."

"No one will see you. Didn't you notice when you came? The entire top floor is not open to the public. Only you and I are here."

Jessica nodded in agreement. After that, Oliver went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Jessica lay on the sofa and fiddled with her phone for a while. She found that there was already news about the art exhibition on the Internet. The most eye-catching thing was the news with the picture of Oliver. He rarely appeared on the news. This event seemed to be very important to him.

Fortunately, no one had exposed the incident during the art exhibition on the Internet. Otherwise, she would have made big trouble, and it was not worth it to involve herself in the vortex of public discussion.

She was so tired that she gradually fell asleep on the sofa.

When Oliver came out of the bathroom, he thought Jessica had left. He walked to the living room and saw that she was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

He sat in the chair opposite her and stared at her delicate face. He was so absorbed that he gently rubbed her soft and pink cheeks with his thumb. She looked so beautiful while sleeping.

Oliver leaned forward and landed a kiss on her face.
