Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 107

Toby seemed to have found a little pleasure in revenge. He sneered and said, "That's because Miss White had sex with Oliver before she married to the Williams family."

"What's going on?" Lambert was confused by his words.

"Do you still remember the first time that Oliver went to the Dutch branch to talk about the business after he became the president of Williams Group? At that time I really did not know how his condition was, so I always suspected that he had recovered physically, but he was still sitting in a wheelchair all the time."

Lambert knew about that because he was invited to hold a solo exhibition in Holland, and Toby attended the opening ceremony.

He was a little shocked that Toby had done something bad behind Oliver's back.

Toby continued, "So I arranged for someone to add some drugs to his drink and see how he solve the problem in a strange place. As long as he went to the hospital, I'll know all his physical data. I didn't expect that he would rather go to the black market and buy a woman to satisfy it than go to the hospital."

"But what does this have to do with Jessica?" Lambert asked in confusion.

"Jessica is the woman he bought."

"That's impossible. Why would Jessica appear on the black market in Holland?"

Toby laughed. He had never seen Marina before, but that he had done the whole thing remotely, and Lambert just had baffling feelings.

"Jessica thought she went to Holland to get engaged. However, she was sold by her stepmother and stepsister immediately without letting her know."

With Lambert's knowledge of Jessica, she couldn't be so stupid.

"Impossible. How could she agree to sell her body?"

"You don't know how messy that place in Amsterdam is. Just give her some drugs, and she won't be conscious at all."

Lambert was so angry that he slammed on the table fiercely. "How could they do that to her?"

"Now that Tina is Oliver's woman, what can you do to her?"

Right. Tina was pregnant and currently living in GrandVille Apartments. Lambert had nothing to do with her now, and Oliver would not let him step into GrandVille Apartments now.

"So, as long as you are not in charge of the Williams Group, you won't even be able to protect the woman you like."

He really couldn't be strong enough to compete with Oliver now.

He couldn't tell Jessica about this, and he couldn't let her know. She was not in good health and was pregnant. She might suffer a lot after hearing it.

If Oliver knew that Jessica was expecting his child, he would never let Jessica go again.

Lambert drank the red wine but he could no longer get the delicious aroma. He felt bitter in his mouth. He felt sorry for that poor woman, who had been played with by others all the time.

"Uncle, you didn't call me here just to tell me these things, did you?" Lambert asked calmly.

"Jessica has already booked a flight to Holland. She will go to the hotel in Amsterdam in a few days to check what had happened then. Although she couldn't find any clues, Oliver's people are not useless. Naturally, they will show some hints to him. By then, Oliver would know all of this."

"So, you want me to stop her from going to Holland."

Toby smiled and said, "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone. I can stop Oliver from knowing the truth, but also help you get the woman you want."

"What do you mean?"

"Tell Jessica that you are the man who had sex with her that night and you are the father of the child."

Lambert was stunned. "How can this work?"

"You fit perfectly. You were also in Amsterdam, living in No. 27 Hotel, and there were reports of your exhibition on the local news."

Lambert did not expect to be involved in such a conspiracy. "She's not a fool. She might not believe it."

"It's up to the one who did it."

"I want to think about it. If she finds out that I lied to her in the future, she won't forgive me, just like she doesn't forgive Oliver now."

"This is a white lie. You know, Jessica wanted to abort the baby in the first place, but she left the baby because she had a special blood disease and was not allowed to miscarry it. She was also pregnant for several months now. If she knew the truth, she might be so angry that she and her baby would be in danger. "

Lambert was a little frightened by the news Toby told him this time.

When he returned to the Old Residence, he had no intention of drawing, so he went to rest and lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

He thought about it for a while and felt the best way was to take Jessica away from this place, then she would live in peace. Otherwise, things would always come to light in the future. Such a series of news would crush her.

The last time he met her in Lambola City, he saw the determination in her eyes, so he drove her back to Birmingham.

It was late at night.

Lambert got up from the bed, went to the hotel where Jessica was staying, and called her downstairs in the lobby.

"Jessica, come down for a while. I want to talk to you."

"I've already been on the bed. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

"I'm downstairs right now. Come down."

"Downstairs of my hotel?"

"Yes."

Jessica put on her clothes and went downstairs. As expected, she saw Lambert sitting there. There were people coming and going to the hotel from time to time.

She walked straight over. "It's so cold and it's so late. Why are you here?"

"I heard from James that you're going to Holland."

She did mention to James that she was going to Holland to investigate something. When everything settled down, she would go to the countryside to live a peaceful life with her grandma.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Can you not go there?"

"Why?" Jessica was a little surprised by his words.

"It's over. You should move on."

"Do you know anything?"

Lambert shook his head with annoyance. "I just worry about your body. It might take more than ten hours there."

"It's okay. I can walk back and forth on the plane. The doctor also said that I'm fine for the time being."

Lambert knew that it was difficult for her to change her mind. He casually chatted about the studio and then he left.

He also felt that he was a little impulsive just now. Maybe if Jessica was going to Holland, he could accompany her. However, it still couldn't hide the purpose of their trip.

Lambert was upset. Did he really have to lie to Jessica now to stop her?
