Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 99

Simon looked embarrassed. He had always hoped that Jessica would become Mrs. Williams.

He could tell that her boss liked her. Perhaps Oliver had felt too little warmth from the family since he was a child and did not know how to love a woman, which caused the situation today. He was very sad.

"Miss White, this is what Oliver asked me to give you."

Simon handed a document to Jessica. She opened it and looked inside. There were two keys and a black card.

"What does that mean?"

"Here are the keys to the house and car. The house is in Miss Sally's community. When we get back to Birmingham, you can ask Miss Sally to give you a tour. This black card is a credit card without a limited quota. You can buy anything you want."

Jessica sealed the file bag. "Simon, I cannot take credit for what I did not do. Please help me return it."

Since she had already decided to break up with that man, she would cut all ties. She wouldn't take anything from him, and she was never legitimate Mrs. Williams.

"Miss White, you know him well. If I take these back, I might be fired."

Jessica didn't want to make things difficult for Simon. "Okay, then."

When she returned to Birmingham, she had to go to GrandVille Apartments to pack up all her things and ask Tina about everything.

As soon as Simon left, Lambert and Sally came over together.

When Jessica saw them, she finally smiled. "It's over."

"What's over?" Sally asked.

"Oliver and I."

"That's great." Lambert blurted out.

He didn't expect to hear such good news as he had just arrived.

This time, he was ready to fight with Oliver. The bruise on his face had not completely recovered from the last fight between the two of them.

Sally was surprised to hear this news. She didn't expect Oliver to let go of Jessica, which made her confused.

She didn't want to be the third wheel here. "You guys should talk about your business first. Then excuse me."

"I'll call you Mr. Williams from now on." Jessica led Lambert to sit down.

"You can just call me by my name."

"Why did you come here? From now on, I have nothing to do with your Williams Family."

"I came to see you not because I am a member of the Williams Family. We are friends." Lambert looked at Jessica with a burning gaze. "What are your plans for the future?"

"I have to go back to Birmingham first."

"If you divorce Oliver, have you thought about how to explain to grandpa?"

"We don't need to go through the divorce procedures, because Tina's name is on the marriage certificates."

Lambert was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that her marriage to Oliver was so ridiculous. What pleased him was that grandpa would not be able to blame him if he found out about it later.

"That's good."

It was getting dark earlier in the winter than in other seasons.

He didn't eat on the plane, and he was hungry now.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go shopping."

"I don't have much appetite."

"You look so thin now. You should eat more. Let's celebrate tonight. You're finally free."

Apart from feeling relaxed all over, Jessica was not so happy, for there were still a lot of mysteries to solve. She didn't want to celebrate.

Now that Lambert had said it, she didn't want to say anything disappointing.

Downstairs at the bar.

Martin and Oliver sat face to face drinking.

"Oliver, didn't I ask you to have a good talk with her? I didn't expect that you're the one who gave up first."

"I know it won't work. She hates me."

"You deserved that." Martin took a sip of whiskey.

"I don't know who the father of the child in her belly is."

Martin was so shocked.

"What? Oliver, why do you marry this woman?"

Oliver rarely talked about his relationship with Jessica in front of his friends, even Martin.

Oliver said coldly, "I don't know either."

He thought the marriage was just temporary, but he didn't expect his heart to ache when he really let her go.

"Then you are really willing to break up with Jessica."

"Everything will pass."

"What about the Tina White at your home?"

"After she gives birth to the child, I'll kick her out of my place."

The two of them chatted for a long time until Oliver was too drunk to speak.

Martin asked Simon to send Oliver to his room to rest and stay alone to continue drinking.

He was still in the midst of Oliver's words and did not come back to his senses.

Martin looked up and saw two people who shared a table with him in the afternoon. They were walking towards the bar and sitting down not far from him.

They were Sally and Scott.

None of them saw Martin sitting in the dark corner.

Sally ordered a glass of Margaret. She said to Scott, "Thank you for treating us to lunch. Tonight's drink is on me."

"Sally, when did you become so polite to me?"

"We are not that close anymore."

"It was my fault back then, Sally. I hope you can stay by my side."

Sally was about to laugh out loud. "Interesting. You're getting engaged tomorrow. Didn't you come to give me an invitation tonight?"

"As long as you promise to stay, I can cancel my engagement tomorrow."

"Did Wendy know that you came here?"

"Sally, I know you're not in a relationship again all these years."

"You don't think I haven't forgotten you, do you?" Sally sneered. "There is no chance for you."

Scott was a little surprised by Sally's words. She used to be so clingy to him as a naive child and made trouble for no reason. After not seeing her for a few years, she had completely changed.

"Sally, please believe me one more time." As Scott spoke, he reached out an arm and was about to put it on Sally's shoulder when a hand stopped him from behind.

"Hello again." Martin smiled maliciously.

Scott's look went bad for a moment before he said, "What a coincidence."

When Sally saw Martin appear, her expression was very unnatural, as if she had been caught having an affair by her husband, but she had nothing to do with Martin.

"It's getting late. Should we go back to our room?" Martin asked Sally.

She didn't want to make Martin embarrassed, so she joked at Scott, "Look, here is my Candidate No.1."
