Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 94

Jessica posted a bunch of resumes online and quickly received an interview invitation from a real estate company.

According to the address, she drove to the suburbs. It was still an unfinished construction site, and only the sales office could receive people.

The interview went smoothly because she graduated from a prestigious school and had work experience in a big company. She was immediately hired.

Jessica planned to go to work in three days.

After the interview, Jessica thought about she would need to rent a house nearby in the future, so she looked around to see if there was a suitable apartment.

After bypassing the construction site and crossing a small bridge, there were blocks of old houses behind.

While walking on the small bridge, she met a man. Jessica was immediately astounded. Her memory had always been good. This man was the black-shirted man who kidnapped her at the warehouse in the suburbs. At that time, Oliver cut off one of his hands and warned them that they could never enter Birmingham. After that happened, everything was peaceful.

However, now she was in Lambola City. She didn't expect to meet him here. She wanted to confirm and look down at the man's arm. However, the sleeves of his winter clothes were so big that she couldn't see anything at all.

The man seemed to feel a gaze on him and suddenly turned to her.

Jessica quickly turned away and quickened her pace.

Now she had no intention of hunting a house and just wanted to get out of here quickly.

When the man crossed the intersection behind the bridge, someone picked him up.

"Left Hand, do you see clearly? Is she that woman?" A man with a cigarette in his right hand asked.

"It's her." The man replied with gritted teeth.

"It was all because of this b*tch that we lost a hand. We finally found a chance to revenge on her."

"Right Hand, we can't act rashly this time. Let's see if Oliver is here. If he is here, we will not only fail to revenge but also lose another hand."

The two of them talked over in the car for a while and left.

After Jessica got off the bridge, she went back to the place where she had just parked. She stepped on the accelerator and left quickly.

Though she had already driven far away, she still looked at the cars behind her in the rearview mirror from time to time and felt that there was a car following her.

Jessica drove all the way to the hotel. Then she took the elevator in the underground garage, went to the room, and locked the door.

Her heart was still pounding.

She walked to the bathroom and poured cold water on her face to keep herself sober.

She kept thinking about what to do next.

'Why is it always so difficult for me to do something?'

However, even if she died outside, she didn't want to turn to Oliver.

For the next two days, she did not leave the room. She asked the hotel staff to bring her food. Every time someone knocked on the door, she would check through the peephole to confirm that it was someone she knew before opening the door.

Now she really had a good rest to recuperate.

She didn't want to reveal her whereabouts before, so she didn't tell the real estate company in advance that she couldn't go to work.

If the man found out it was her, he would definitely go nearby to investigate her. She would obviously be found out. If he knew her workplace, he might have been waiting there by now.

So, the afternoon before she needed to go to work, she called the real estate company, saying that she had no way to go to work. She could only keep apologizing on the phone. Fortunately, the other party's tone was not bad.

After tonight, she was going to leave. Although she didn't know where to go, she couldn't stay in this place for a long time.

She packed all her luggage and went to bed early.

Jessica kept waking up and did not have a sound sleep all the time.

She didn't turn on the lights in the room. The moonlight outside shone through the gauze curtains into the room. When the wind blew, the trees outside moved and the shadows in the room danced.

She opened her eyes wide, thinking about tomorrow's schedule.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the doorknob twisting. For a moment, her heart fluttered with fear.

Although it was windy outside, she had already closed the door and windows. The sound insulation here was very good, so she could not hear the sound outside at all. However, she could clearly hear the sound of the door handle twisting.

Before she could think of anything else, she immediately sat up from the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and was about to call the police.

Just as she was about to press the call button, a shadow appeared in front of her and kicked her phone away.

She immediately regretted and thought that she should hide in the quilt and make the phone call so that intruders would not see her immediately. Just now, there was only the light of her phone in the room. She could not help blaming herself and regretting it.

Jessica turned on the bedside lamp and saw that the intruders were indeed those two men.

"What do you want?" She tried to calm herself down.

One of the men reached out his right hand, grabbed her up, and threw her heavily on the bed, "You b*tch, we lost our hands because of you. Now, without Oliver by your side, I'll see who else you can turn to."

Jessica slowly moved back, and her voice was trembling, "Every debt has its debtor. You should revenge on Oliver. He's nearby."

She thought it would be good if she could buy some time to find a way quickly. If she fought recklessly, she would not be a match for the two men.

As soon as Left Hand and Right Hand heard this, they looked at each other. Then Right Hand said, "Do you think we're scared?"

Even he said so, Right Hand was still rummaging through the small room.

Left Hand said with a sneer, "Neither of you can run away. Since you b*tch has come to us yourself, we will deal with you first. The last time we didn't get anything but lost a hand. This time, you could hardly fly away even if you have wings."

As Left Hand spoke, he took off his clothes.

Jessica's face was as pale as paper, and her back was sweating with fear. She leaned against the bed and glanced at the lamp at the head of the bed. Its base was a square plate of stainless steel.

Just as Left Hand was about to pounce on her, Jessica picked up the lamp as fast as she could and aimed the square edge of the base at Left Hand's right ear.

Left Hand immediately felt a dull pain and screamed. He covered his ear with his right hand and squatted on the ground.

The human ear was the most vulnerable place. Once hit hard, it would hurt immensely. It was better than hitting the head because the head was protected by the skull. So it was difficult to knock him out at one hit.

Right Hand, who was searching the bathroom, ran out.
