Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 106

After Toby came back, he should meet a lot of people in private, but the person he wanted to meet most now was Lambert.

He asked someone to investigate Lambert's current situation and found that he really liked his mother in character. Back then, his mother knew that his father was married, but she still stole someone's husband and became a mistress and had him.

Now that Lambert had grown up, he began to covet Oliver's things. It was probably genetic.

Lambert grew up outside and he didn't return to the Williams Family until he was six years old. The Williams family had always treated Lambert well.

The main reason was that he often took his cue from others since he was young and he would please adults. Perhaps knowing his family background, he had always kept a low profile.

However, everyone in the Williams Family knew that although he was the eldest of the grandchildren, the financial right of the Williams Family would not be handed over to him in the future.

Lambert knew that his grandfather, Jeff, liked calligraphy and painting. Later, he began to learn painting and did a good job, so Jeff always liked him.

Toby called Lambert and asked him to have dinner at his place.

Lambert didn't refuse on the phone.

When he came, he took a bottle of his best red wine. "Uncle, isn't there a family banquet in a few days? Why did you think of inviting me here for dinner?"

Toby let everyone else out. There were only two people in the restaurant, uncle and nephew.

"I have a lot to talk to you, but there are so many people at the family banquet. It's not convenient."

On the way here, Lambert guessed why did Toby invite him to dinner alone. There must be something else. Naturally, he couldn't refuse what the elder asked to do.

Toby came straight to the point. "I heard you're pursuing a girl from the White family now. Is it going well?"

Lambert was not afraid that the Williams Family would know that he liked Jessica. Anyway, she had completely broken up with Oliver.

The Williams Family had only seen Jessica at a family dinner before, and they probably didn't remember her.

Besides, last time he saw Tina in GrandVille Apartments. She looked a little similar to Jessica in all aspects. It would be passed if he made a fuss.

He really didn't care what others thought. He only wanted his grandpa Jeff's approval.

"Why are you interested in my personal life?"

"I heard it as soon as I came back. I can help you."

"Do you think that I'm useless and even need the help of the Williams Family to chase a woman?"

"Hey, I don't like to hear that. You're a big genius of our Williams Family. You are so popular, but don't you only like the First Young Lady from the White family?"

"Are you used to living in Southeast Asia?" Lambert didn't want to say anything more about his personal issues, so he began to change the subject.

"I've been running around the world since I was a child. I'm used to living anywhere, but I still miss my life in Holland the most."

"When you achieve a lot in Southeast Asia, you can apply for a transfer and then go to Europe. Oliver will agree. After all, you are one of our members."

"He doesn't care about me. Not long after he came back, he just beat the dog before the lion. He did a good job, and the board of directors was convinced of him."

Toby sneered and continued, "It's a pity that he was young and vigorous. He fought with Aaron and refused to give in. In the end, he gave the Zamani piece of land to someone else for nothing. The evils he brings on himself are the hardest to bear."

If they could get that piece of land, the land belonging to the Williams family on both sides of it was unable to start construction, which seriously affected the development of the property for the next few years, and the loss to the Williams Group was immeasurable, so Aaron dared to demand an exorbitant price.

However, Oliver did not like him at all.

"He is now in charge of the Williams family, so it is naturally up to him."

"You are also a member of the Williams family. Do you have no problem with it? When he was in a car accident, you were considered as the heir to the Williams Group."

Lambert smiled bitterly. "Don't mention that." He knew that the Williams Family had given him shares, so he was very grateful for having no worries about food and clothing. He didn't want to be delusional about other things.

Now he felt at ease. He could ignore the disputes in the company and enjoy a quiet life.

The position of president was not that easy to sit in.

Toby was very happy to see Lambert indifferent.

He couldn't fight against Oliver on his own now, but Lambert could. If he let the two brothers fight very fiercely, he could benefit from the tussle.

"Then you are stealing a woman from Oliver now. Do you think he will spare you? You know his temper. Look at my fate now."

"I didn't steal a woman from him. He gave up voluntarily."

"Lambert, you are so naive. You hide in the world of art all day long. You really intend to be live a free life and ignore the world." Toby took the wine decanter from the table and poured the wine. "Have a try."

Lambert tasted the red wine in his glass. "Bordeaux, 1982. It tastes rich and sweet."

Seeing him with an intoxicated expression, Toby thought that he was a lame duck.

"I heard that the First Young Lady from the White Family is pregnant. Do you know whose child she is carrying?"

Lambert felt stiff. Toby found out about such a private matter.

On the night they left Lambola City, Lambert and Jessica talked a lot at the hotel.

Jessica told him that the child was not Oliver's, so they had nothing to do with each other.

He was still a little happy at that time so that they no longer had any ties, completely broken.

"Uncle, how do you know about this?"

"I have experienced a lot. It can be for nothing."

"Everything can't be hidden from you."

"Do you want to know?"

"I don't want to know. If she follows me in the future, I'll treat her child as my own."

'What a stupid pig.'

"Don't always be a coward and lie to yourself."

"So, uncle, you are about to tell me something?"

Lambert had guessed, but he didn't ask Jessica, as long as it wasn't Oliver's baby.

"If you know the answer, I don't think you will be like you now, thinking that you are bound to win."

Lambert was stunned, "What does Uncle Toby mean?"

"The baby in Jessica's belly is Oliver's," Toby said with widened eyes.

Toby said so firmly, which made Lambert believe that he didn't lie. But Lambert still couldn't believe it or didn't want to believe it.

"That's impossible. Jessica told me that she was pregnant before she married Oliver, so Oliver had been abusing her after marriage because of this baby whose father was unknown."
