Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 62

"Mr. Zamani, of course, I got faults too. But I'm not here for myself today. I'm here for the Williams Group. You know that Mr. Williams wants to buy the piece of land in the west of the city that belongs to the Zamani Family. Now that Mr. Zamani Junior and Mr. Williams have some unnecessary conflicts because of me, I wonder if I can ask you to make the decision. When selling that piece of land, could you give priority to the Williams Group?"

Henry looked at the little girl in front of him. She thought about it well before doing things. She went to the Zamani Family in advance to ask for Alice's forgiveness. She spoke directly and to the point. She was indeed Terence's granddaughter. They had a similar temper. It was a pity for her to be a secretary at the Williams Group. It was all because of Terence's early death that the business fell into the hands of his son-in-law, and it began to decline.

Henry picked up the teacup and glanced at the teacup in front of Jessica. She had not touched it yet. "Have some tea first."

He didn't expect Jessica to come to see him for the Williams Group. When Sally first told him that she was the granddaughter of Terence, he guessed that she wanted something from the company, but he didn't expect it to be for the land in the west of the city.

This piece of land was all ready to be sold. It was all his underlings who had invested recklessly, causing the Zamani Group he founded to suffer a heavy blow and he had to sell land to recoup the financial loss.

However, this was a good opportunity never seen before with which he could ask the Williams Group to help the Zamani Group. Before, because he was too angry, he scolded Oliver in front of Jeff. But no matter how Jeff disliked this grandson, Oliver was still representing the Williams Family. Scolding Oliver was equivalent to scolding the Williams Family. Even if he could prioritize the Williams Group in the selling of the land, he needed the Williams Group to be grateful to the Zamani Family and beg them for that.

After all, Jessica was young and a little restless. She was not in the mood for tea.

Henry smiled and said, "Little girl, I once owed your grandfather a favor. I will consider your thoughts. I am not an ungrateful person."

Only then did Jessica show a half-smile. "Mr. Zamani, I don't mean anything else."

"Don't worry, little girl. I remember you drew paintings when you were a child. Are you interested in my collections?"

"Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zamani, for letting me have the honor of visiting your collection."

Henry asked the servant to find Sally and went upstairs to the collection room together.

As soon as Jessica went in, she saw a variety of antiques and paintings inside. There was a familiar illusion: her grandpa used to like to collect these. Later, her grandpa's collection was transferred by Jason. She didn't know how they were dealt with.

Henry, on the other hand, was very willing to share them. He specifically asked the servants to take out several original paintings of flowers and birds from the Song Dynasty from his collection and a painting of a green landscape. "Apart from the museum, these paintings are only available here. They are not available on the market at all."

Jessica loved to draw flowers and birds in the style of the Song Dynasty the most. When she studied, she used to refer to printed paintings. Now that she saw the original paintings in front of her, she was so excited that her hands trembled a little.

The original paintings looked very old, and even the cracks on the silk paper were a vivid language of the times.

The collection conditions here were already top-notch, where the appropriate temperature and humidity were maintained, but the work still showed signs of continuing to age.

Now there was a very advanced watermark technology, which could print works very similar to the original ones, but no matter how good the print was, it was far from being as good as the original ones.

Jessica and Sally couldn't help but sigh. "It's so beautiful."

Henry looked at the collection in the room and sighed, "I can have these collections with me in my lifetime, so I will die without regret. I'm afraid that the losers in the Zamani family will waste all of my treasures after I die."

As Henry spoke, he looked a little excited. Perhaps when he saw Jessica, he thought of his old friends. After they died, their family property was in the hands of others and was wasted, and he could not help but sigh.

Sally went up and helped the old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life. "Mr. Zamani, you are still so strong. Don't talk about death. With so many treasures to accompany you, you can enjoy the happiness."

After meeting Henry, Jessica went straight back to GrandVille Apartments. If Oliver was at home, she would let him know what Mr. Zamani promised as soon as possible. Everything would change and he would not feel too helpless because of this.

Oliver was indeed busy with the land, but he was not helpless. He had secretly met all the people who might want to buy the land of the Zamani Family and had agreed on the terms in advance. As long as the Zamani Family was to sell the land, no matter how many times it was transferred, it would finally belong to the Williams Group in the end.

Henry had also considered this question before. There was no family in Birmingham that could be as wealthy as the Williams Family. Although Oliver was young, he had an irresistible aura of dominance. Although he had not appeared in business in recent years, he was concerned about Oliver's actions after he became the president of the Williams Group. He had been paying attention and regretted the hasty termination of the engagement.

Although Oliver was not Jeff's favorite grandson, nor was he Daniel's favorite son, for the sake of the glory of the Williams Group, he was still given the position of president. His talent in business was best known by the Williams Family.

The younger generation of their Zamani Family was not aware of all these. Especially Aaron, who usually drank and fooled around, was even emotional at the critical moment, and almost damaged the whole Zamani Family. He was really a good-for-nothing bastard, and he, Henry, had to come out to clean up the mess for him.

Henry called Jeff and asked him to go fishing with him in the Lena River.

As soon as Jeff heard this, he knew that the Zamani Family had loosened its grip on land and immediately agreed.

Hanging up the phone, Jeff thought about it. He didn't know why the Zamani Family's attitude towards the Williams Group became different. He thought it was right to have arranged for Lambert to apologize to the Zamani Family before.

No matter what, the Zamani Family was still rich, not to mention that it was only suffering a temporary financial crisis. The family's influence in Birmingham could not be underestimated.

What was more, Henry had a wide investment field in his early years and accumulated a lot of assets, but he had always hidden his strength. The Williams Family should not fight against the Zamani Family, or else it would be a lose-lost and let outsiders reap the benefits.

Both of them were smart in the business world, and they knew the stakes.

When Jeff arrived at the Lena River, Henry was already fishing with a fishing rod. The bodyguard next to him leaned forward and said, "Mr. Zamani, Mr. Williams has arrived."

Henry was about to get up when he heard Jeff say, "Old man, I'm here."

It was as if the unhappiness on the phone had been swept away by Henry's invitation to fish.

The two old men first talked about some bad news in their families. They both scolded their grandchildren, just like they were kids who had caused trouble in school and were scolded by their parents. They had to show that they were already trying to discipline them in front of each other.

In the end, it came to the land in the west of the city.
