Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 74

"Yes." The man said softly.

Looking at her wet hair, he said, "There's no hairdryer here. I'll ask Simon to drive you home later."

Jessica nodded, "Are you really going to give me to Alice?"

"Of course not."

Jessica's tone was coquettish, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"If I had said it earlier, you wouldn't have been so willing to serve me."

She was so angry that she was fooled by this man.

Simon was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He had to drive to the company. Fortunately, he lived not far from the company.

When Simon entered Oliver's office, he heard something in the lounge. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He put the clothes on the sofa outside, sent a message to Oliver, and went out.

After Jessica left, the man in the restroom was quietly finding her hair again.

...

A few days later, everything was still the same as before.

Alice knew that Jessica was still working as usual, and Oliver didn't do anything to her. She didn't expect him to completely disregard the friendship between the Zamani and Williams Families for that b*tch. She even went to the Williams Group to look for him once, which was useless.

She urged her brother Aaron not to sell the land to the Williams Group.

Aaron looked at Alice's listless look in the hospital, "Why don't you let it go? You should stay away from Oliver. He's not your fiancé anymore."

"Brother, do you agree with me?"

Aaron didn't want to sell the land to the Williams Group either. When he thought about Oliver's attitude towards him, he was so angry. But his grandfather had asked him to sell it. He knew that he would sell the land to the Williams Group sooner or later, but the process wouldn't be so smooth. Otherwise, who would take him seriously?

However, he was so begged by Alice that he was swayed. He had to find another buyer among the candidates and let Oliver know that he was not easy to deal with.

When Henry found out, Aaron had already sold the land to an overseas company registered in South Africa.

It was a foregone conclusion. Henry was so angry that he kicked Aaron out of the Zamani Group.

After hearing the news, Jeff went mad and scolded Henry for breaking his promise.

Only Oliver was still calm about this.

When Jessica found out about this, she went to Henry again.

"Mr. Zamani, didn't you already promise me to prioritize the Williams Group?" Jessica questioned Henry. She could not care about anything else at this time.

"Kid, I'm sorry about that. I didn't expect things to become like this either."

Jessica did not hear any apology from Henry's tone, "Mr. Zamani, you don't really think that I pushed Alice downstairs, do you? So because of this, what you promised before is no longer counted?"

Jessica's heart was beating fast. She was afraid that Henry would not sell the land to the Williams Group because of her.

Henry took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I asked someone to check the video of the art gallery afterward. I know that Alice's fall had nothing to do with you and I'm sorry for you."

Jessica didn't expect Henry to apologize to her, but in that case, she didn't understand why he sold the land to someone else.

"Mr. Zamani, as long as you trust me, I feel very happy."

"It's all my two disappointing grandchildren who cheated behind my back. I'm really old. A lot of things are out of my control." There was helplessness in Henry's tone.

Jessica could see the disappointment in this old man and felt that her question was a little aggressive, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."

Henry waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of blaming her.

"Miss White, what I owe your family has not been paid off yet. I will definitely pay you back in the future. I will requite your good deeds in my life. I promise."

Jessica had nothing else to say. She returned to GrandVille Apartments in depression and sat down on a bench in the garden to rest. She went through everything in her mind.

No matter what, it had something to do with her. If she hadn't gone to the art gallery that day, she wouldn't have met Alice again, and the rest of the thing wouldn't have happened.

Jessica was in a state of confusion without noticing Tina behind her.

"Sister, look at your sad face. Is something wrong?" Tina smiled maliciously.

Jessica glanced at her, "Are you expecting something wrong to happen to me? But I'm going to disappoint you. I'm fine."

"Sister, don't be so malicious to me. We are both pregnant. Please consider the mood of a mother. If I'm in a bad mood and affect the baby in my body, Mr. Williams will not let you go if he finds out."

Hearing Tina's tone, Jessica was about to vomit. She sneered and got goosebumps all over her body, "Then go complain to your Mr. Williams and let him 'comfort' you."

Tina seemed to hear the voice-over in her words. Her smiling face just now began to stiffen, "You mean let him have sex with me? Come on, Mr. Williams doesn't sleep with me because he cares about the baby, and he can't bear to let my body suffer."

Jessica didn't expect Tina to think that way. She just said it casually. She didn't expect that her mind was really unusual. She was probably fooled by the high wall of the GrandVille Apartments.

She was not polite at all and sneered, "Others don't know, but I do know that when you're pregnant, because of the changes in hormones, you should have more sexual needs. Could it be that you've been holding it back throughout the pregnancy?"

Tina was so angry that her face tilted. Her face had undergone minor plastic surgery before, and she often went abroad to have it repaired. Now that she was here, she couldn't go abroad. Coupled with her pregnancy, her whole body began to gain weight, and her face was really deformed.

This time, she was stabbed with her sore point. She felt so guilty that she began to breathe unsteadily. Thinking of staying here, she rarely saw Oliver, and Oliver did not look at her at all. Sometimes she would wonder if her previous decisions were wrong, but she could never show weakness in front of Jessica.

"Jessica, when did you start to be so shameless? You were just a sexual tool for Mr. Williams, but you dare to show off in front of me. You wouldn't think that man who slept with you a few more times would treat you better than me, would you? Don't you remember that he gave me all the stuff that his grandpa gave you last time? And even Nanny Daisy, who he trusted the most, stayed in my yard to serve me. Isn't it obvious that he is better to me?"

Jessica also thought about it. When Tina said to the point, there was indeed a slight pain in her heart, but her look remained unchanged. "You are really good at comforting yourself."
