Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 82

Oliver still did not know where to find Jessica and when he returned to GrandVille Apartments, Martin was there looking for him.

Only then did Martin know that Jessica had run away from home.

"What exactly did you do to Jessica that forced her to leave you so quietly?"

Oliver moved his lips and said, "Do you think I'm a bastard too?"

"I think Jessica is a good girl. Since she's married to you, you should treat her well."

"How can you say the same thing as Lambert?" Oliver's expression became unreadable. "By the way, Sally has been close to Jessica. Call her over. Maybe we can get some new clues."

After Martin heard this, he said, "Then get her here immediately."

After receiving a call from Oliver, Sally could not figure out why he would invite her to his house. She guessed that it might have something to do with Jessica.

Oliver didn't tell her the details on the phone and just asked her to come over as soon as possible. Besides, she didn't see Jessica for a long time. She would like to drop by and see how such a couple lived together.

When Sally arrived, she was brought into the living room by the butler. Then she saw Oliver, who was sitting alone on the sofa in low spirits.

After Martin saw her coming, he poured a cup of coffee for her.

She felt the strained atmosphere here and said, "What's going on? What happened?"

Martin pushed the coffee in front of her. "Have the coffee first."

With such a tense atmosphere, Sally took a sip of coffee and asked, "Where's Miss White? Oh, I should call her Mrs. Williams instead."

Martin gave her a meaningful glance.

Then Sally knew immediately something was wrong.

Hearing her words, Oliver asked, "Do you know where Jessica is now? Did she contact you?"

"Mr. Williams, I don't know. I haven't seen her for a few days. I haven't contacted her since she went to the police station last time. I've always felt guilty. If Lambert and I hadn't insisted on dragging her to the opening ceremony of the exhibition, nothing would have happened."

After she finished speaking, she remembered that she shouldn't mention Lambert in front of Oliver, which would make both of them unhappy. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Martin give her another meaningful glance.

'Why do they treat me like this today? I did not do anything wrong. Why are they questioning me?'

Sally glared back at Martin as if to say that I didn't do anything wrong. It was not her fault.

"You're close to Lambert. Do you think it is he who hid Jessica?" Oliver asked.

"I don't dare to get involved in the matter between you two brothers anymore. I didn't know about your relationship with Miss White before, so when I saw them, I wanted to make a match between them. But when Miss White told me that she was your wife, I regretted it. From then on, I didn't dare to ask anything about you two. What on earth happened to you and Miss White?"

Everyone who knew Jessica had run away from home wondered what on earth happened between them, but no one dared to ask except Oliver's friends.

"If she contacts you, you must tell me immediately."

Sally nodded but she knew that he must have done something and made Jessica upset. If Jessica really contacted her and she really told him the news, she would make Jessica upset more.

But she thought Miss White was smart, and that she probably wouldn't contact anyone of Oliver's friends. Jessica would not be so stupid as to help Sally keep it a secret after knowing Sally had helped Oliver.

Sally took a few sips of coffee, and she couldn't hold back her desire to say something to Oliver. Her mouth twitched slightly and she said, "Mr. Williams, there's something I think you'd better know."

The man on the sofa thought there was a new clue and sat up straight immediately. "Tell me everything."

"It's about the land on the west side of the city. After you hit Aaron, Senior Zamani and Senior Williams thus had a bad relationship for a while. Then Senior Zamani had another conversation with Senior Williams and decided to sell the land to the Williams Group. Put away the fact that Aaron took the liberty to mess things up, do you know why he changed his mind?"

This incident just happened recently, and he remembered it clearly. However, he did not ask how Henry and Jeff talked about it. He had always thought that Henry chose to cooperate with the Williams Group again because of their past friendship.

"Why?"

"Miss White found Senior Zamani with my help and begged him."

"How did she know Senior Zamani? Why was he willing to help her?" Oliver asked in surprise.

Martin, who was sitting by the side, was also stunned after hearing her words.

"At that time, she asked me for help. She told me I just needed to mention her grandfather Terence's name and Senior Zamani would agree to meet her. And he really met her. He even took us to see the collections he had had for years. It can be seen that he was very nice to her."

Oliver fell into a melancholy thought again. It seemed that Henry had a good relationship with her grandfather, but why was she willing to marry him rather than going to get help from Henry at that time? He never understood what was going on in this woman's mind.

Sally added, "Just before we met Senior Zamani, Miss White had gone to the house of the Zamani Family and thus got hit by Alice so hard that her face was swollen. Didn't you notice it?"

Oliver recalled Jessica always wore heavy makeup on her face at that time, so it was to cover up the bruises on her face.

"How did you know about this? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

It was Lambert who told her this, but she couldn't tell Oliver. She only said, "I found it out when she was making her makeup in my car. She asked me to keep it a secret then, so I couldn't tell you. And I'm telling you now because you treated Miss White so bad and I could not just stand by and do nothing anymore."

Jessica didn't tell him anything about this from the beginning to the end. He didn't know anything about it. In fact, that stupid woman didn't need to make such efforts for the Williams Family. If they could have communicated better with each other earlier, things might not have gone to this point.

The three of them had been talking in the living room. At this time, Sally saw through the glass a woman passing by in the courtyard, and she then immediately stood up. "Is Miss White back?"

When she said this, the two men in the living room looked out together.

Martin glanced at Oliver. He didn't say anything.

Sally stood up and walked straight out, shouting at the woman in the garden, "Miss White, you're back."

Martin wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
