Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 122

"It's great to go on vacation," Jessica said excitedly. She used to like her mother to take her on trips.

Previously, Oliver told her that she was going on a new year trip, driving to the airport, and accidentally got into a car accident. He promised her that he would accompany her if she went out again in the future.

Seeing that Oliver worked so hard every day, Jessica thought he really should enjoy his vacation and have a good rest.

Oliver held Jessica in his arms. The woman's head was right against his chin. After they snuggled to each other for a while, Oliver remembered that there was something else to tell her.

"Go to a business party with me tomorrow."

"Will there be many people? I'll be awkward if I don't know anyone."

"It's enough that you know me."

Now Oliver was her world. She could only connect to others through him.

"Okay. What preparations do I have to make before attending the party with you?"

"There's no need to prepare anything. Just stand by my side."

"Okay."

"You can go out tomorrow and buy some dresses and jewelry that you like."

"Pledge to complete the mission."

Jessica was also a little excited. She thought that she should have been very enthusiastic about this kind of party before. She could make friends and chat with others.

Although she led a fulfilled life while staying at home, her communication skills had deteriorated due to the lack of interaction with others.

The night she came to GrandVille Apartments, Oliver gave her a Black Card with unlimited credit.

The card was taken out directly from the file bag, but Jessica did not recognize the file bag at all.

She did take it, but she didn't think it was necessary, so she put it in the drawer of the makeup table.

"I don't even know what's popular now. I'm afraid I'm going to the party in an old-fashioned dress."

Jessica was a little nervous. She had to accompany Oliver to public places. She knew nothing about the outside world now, so she was afraid to embarrass him.

"I'll send someone to accompany you tomorrow."

Jessica nodded her head excitedly, thinking that Oliver was so dependable. She was afraid that she would make mistakes and make a fool of herself in public.

On the following day, Shank brought a fashion plate to Jessica.

The man was a natural socializer. "Mrs. Williams, long time no see."

His voice was a little girly.

"Hello." Jessica reached out and shook his hand.

"Just call me Tony. I helped you with your styling before. Mr. Williams asked me to accompany you shopping."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Tony was very talkative. Since he had seen Jessica before, he acted naturally.

In his words, Jessica realized that he was a very famous stylist. Many celebrities asked him to do styling, and he liked men.

Jessica covered her mouth, smiling and praising Oliver. He indeed find a good man to go shopping with her because gay generally had a higher aesthetic taste, not to mention he was a stylist.

Tony didn't lead Jessica to buy clothes first, but went to Van Cleef & Arpels and tried on jewelry first.

Jessica didn't choose the jewelry in the shape of four-leaf clovers and finally chose a pearl necklace and earrings. This whole set of jewelry could be compared to the one of the Duchess of Windsor in England, which was also designed by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Tony indeed had good taste.

‘Oliver couldn't blame me for the expensive jewelry I bought. He was the one who asked for Tony's advice.’ Jessica thought.

Last time, Tony noticed that Oliver treated Jessica differently, but he didn't expect her to be Mrs. Williams.

Since she was Mrs. Williams, it was natural for her to dress in accordance with Mrs. Williams' identity. Anyway, Oliver told him that there was no limit to the budget.

To match the whole set of jewelry, Tony chose a high-waisted evening dress for Jessica, covering her slightly bulging belly.

As soon as Tony and Jessica left Van Cleef & Arpels, Alice and Wendy came over together.

The shop assistant called Alice early in the morning, telling her that there was a piece of new limited edition jewelry and asking if she was interested.

She had been reprimanded by her grandfather for the affair between her and Jessica, so she had been much more obedient recently.

After her brother Aaron and Scott got into the business, he asked her to take care of Wendy in Birmingham.

Thus, Alice and Wendy, who had just arrived in Birmingham, quickly became good friends.

She knew that Wendy liked jewelry, so she asked Wendy to come to the store.

Wendy said she had seen news of this jewelry before, but she didn't expect that Birmingham already had it. She planned to buy it and wear it to the party tonight.

They arrived and asked the shop assistant. However, the shop assistant immediately apologized, "That limited edition jewelry set has been bought. There's only one set in Birmingham."

Alice asked, "Who bought it?"

The shop assistant looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry. We cannot disclose personal information about our guests."

Finally, they left resentfully.

In the evening, Oliver held Jessica's hand and entered the venue.

She knew no one but Oliver in the entire venue.

Since people kept coming over to talk to Oliver, Jessica felt herself in the way. Just nodding and smiling, she felt very tired, especially she was pregnant and wearing high heels.

She whispered to Oliver, "I am going to the bathroom. You can chat with them."

Jessica went into the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she didn't often attend such occasions because she found she couldn't handle it.

The entire venue was brightly lit, and there were many reporters holding cameras, which made her very uncomfortable, afraid that she would make a mistake.

She looked in the mirror and checked her makeup, and there was no separation.

Tony was skillful, dressing her like a princess.

Oliver was dazzled by her beauty.

Jessica's breathing began to quicken when there were cameras on her just now, and she accidentally bit her lower lip and ate some lipstick.

She took out her lipstick from her makeup bag, touching up her makeup.

At this moment, Alice and Wendy also came in. Their eyes were fixed on Jessica's neck.

"Jessica, why are you here?" Alice asked doubtfully.

She just heard that Jessica had left the Williams Group long ago. But Alice didn't expect to meet Jessica here.

What was more unexpected was that she hadn't seen Jessica for just a few days, but she could buy such an expensive set of jewelry. Alice got more confused. Where did the jewelry on Jessica's neck come from?

Wendy whispered in her ear, "Do you know her?"
