Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 143

However, Oliver always felt uneasy. After all, Toby used to be a leading role here for many years.

Oliver and Jessica went to the lounge.

As soon as she entered, she saw a woman, who looked pretty and coquettish, standing in the room.

Oliver introduced. "This is my colleague, Julia. She's in charge of tonight's event."

Julia came over and shook Jessica's hand. "Welcome, Mrs. Williams. I just heard from Oliver that you are still newlyweds to come here for your honeymoon."

"Thanks for your work." Jessica smiled.

Hearing Julia called Oliver so affectionately, she was a little unaccustomed to it. Perhaps she just called according to the local custom.

She didn't want to be jealous this time. Otherwise, she seemed too stingy.

Especially because of her jealousy last time, Oliver sent his secretary out, who probably didn't even know the reason to be transferred.

In the evening, many of the local colleagues came over, and Jessica made many binous in the evening.

The binous was a custom here. She was no exception.

After standing for too long, she felt a little tired, so she walked to a dark corner to have a rest.

Two people were talking next to her.

One woman said to the other, "Did you see Julia's expression tonight? She seemed not good."

"What's wrong? Do you have any discoveries?"

"Julia worked for the previous Mr. Williams and was deeply trusted. After the new boss came to Holland, she immediately followed him. Do you know why?"

"You mean she's having an affair with our new boss?"

"What else?" The woman said excitedly.

"Is he married or single?"

"I don't know. But I heard that a woman came with him tonight, so Julia doesn't seem happy. She seems to be jealous."

"Sharp man won't have only one woman, right? Maybe they're all open relationships. Who knows?"

Jessica only found it funny. It turned out that no matter where you were, the small talk between colleagues was the source of gossip.

She laughed it off.

It was not good to listen to others' conversations, so she stood up and left.

Jessica walked into the crowd. People talked around her. The familiar feeling appeared again.

Seeing that she was not looking well, Oliver asked, "What's wrong?"

She said, "Oliver, I don't know what's going on lately. I'm always hallucinating as if a lot of things have happened."

Jessica couldn't hold back any longer and told the man what she thought.

'Is she going to regain her memory?' Oliver thought at first.

Uninterested in socializing in the venue, he called Julia aside and instructed her to look after everyone and that he had to go first.

"Oliver, you're the leading role today. The director of the headquarters is here personally. It isn't suitable for you to leave halfway."

"My wife is not feeling well. I want to send her back to rest."

Jessica didn't know that they were leaving now until Oliver said it.

Jessica said, "Your colleague has only been here for a while. It's not good for us to leave like this."

"My schedule is not restricted by them. I didn't intend to come, but Julia insisted that I need to show up, so I came over to take a look."

Julia walked to Jessica and said, "Mrs. Williams, what's wrong? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

"Don't bother. I'll just have a rest. Thank you." Jessica said.

Julia had no choice but to send them out of the castle.

Oliver's driver, who was also the bodyguard, was already waiting at the door.

They had not gone far when Julia made a long-distance call to Toby.

"Mr. Williams, I've tried my best to keep Oliver for you," Julia said weakly. Her tone of voice was a complete contrast to when she was hosting the reception earlier.

"How did you do it? I just asked you to help delay the time. You can't do such a simple thing. Don't you want to help me?" Toby said viciously.

Julia was a little flustered and quickly explained, "Mr. Williams, you have my father's life in your hands. Of course, I know what's important. I'm already trying to keep him. But his wife is not feeling well, so they left so early."

Julia's father, Cheney, was a well-known business owner of a packaging factory in Birmingham. When he came to Holland to visit his daughter, he went into a casino and lost a lot of money.

Then, he was unwilling to give up. So he planned to win back, however, he was out of control gradually and lost all the Cheney Family business.

He was directly detained by the casino.

It was only when the truth would emerge soon that Julia knew about it.

She had to turn to Toby for help with the rescue then.

That was how Cheney was rescued.

Toby asked her to call Oliver to the Williams Group's new year celebration. When she first heard this request, she was still wondering that it seemed a little irregular for a branch company's celebration to invite the boss of the headquarters.

Toby told her that Oliver was in Holland now.

Then she immediately sent an email to report on the celebration.

Oliver was not familiar with the business in Holland. However, he was there now and most of the employees would come to the party. He also wanted to know more about the internal situation.

Then he quickly replied that he would be there personally.

Therefore, attending the celebration was not on his original schedule, but just a temporary idea.

Since Oliver was there, Toby asked Julia to pull out all the stops not to let him leave early. Otherwise, his plan would be disrupted.

Therefore, Toby scolded her when she failed.

Julia did not know the interests connection involved. She could only obey Toby now.

Toby hung up the phone angrily.

He took out another phone, changing his plan.

Oliver and Jessica returned to the hotel smoothly.

He asked the doctor to come and examine Jessica.

The doctor just said, "She's in a new place now, so her mind is more active and her brain makes connections between things she's seen and done before, so she will have a sense of deja vu."

The doctor's explanation was the same as what Jessica found on the Internet.

"Doctor, does this sign mean that I'm about to regain my memory?"

The doctor hesitated, "Madam, it's possible."
