Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 148

The next day, David came to No. 27 Hotel.

Jessica sent Ian away.

"Mrs. Williams, is there still no news from Mr. Williams?" David asked.

Jessica didn't sleep almost all night last night. She had big dark circles under her eyes and her voice was a lot hoarser.

"No. David, please find some private detectives to help me find Oliver," Jessica said.

"Okay, I got this." He said.

David took out a dozen papers from the file bag.

He said, "Mrs. Williams, since that's the case, you should sign these property donation documents first. This is what Mr. Williams asked me to do before."

Jessica thought that it would cost a lot of money to find Oliver's whereabouts, but she didn't have much money and didn't know how long she would stay here.

Thinking of this, she said, "I'll sign these documents first. The rest will be dealt with after Oliver comes back."

David read the important information on each page of the document to Jessica.

Jessica picked up the pen on the table and signed her name wherever it was needed.

David said, "I'll get someone to protect you at the hotel now, just in case I get hurt."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. David. I'll stay at the hotel first. Whether Oliver calls or comes back to the hotel, I want to get the news as soon as possible."

Jessica handed over the matter of finding the private detectives to David.

When Simon woke up in the morning and saw a strange phone number, he didn't care.

When Jessica called again, Simon found out about Oliver's accident.

Jessica asked him to come to Holland immediately to help her find out Oliver's whereabouts. Local detectives didn't know the details, so their progress should be slow.

Simon had been following Oliver all the time and knew his social relationships very well, as well as the people he usually interacted with. Therefore, it was easier for Simon to target and find powerful clues.

However, the news of Oliver's accident must be kept confidential, or it would cause unrest in the Williams Group.

Simon immediately went to the airport and flew to Amsterdam.

Jessica waited at the hotel for a day and received no news.

She kept comforting herself that no news was the best news.

When Simon came over, he lived in the room next to Jessica's.

"Madam, what exactly happened at that time?"

On the phone, Jessica just said that something happened to Oliver and asked him to come over as soon as possible.

He called Oliver but no one answered, so he knew that it was something serious.

Jessica told Simon about what had happened that night in detail.

"David has already sent his men to search the sea and the surrounding forests, but they haven't found either the body or Oliver. However, Oliver will not disappear out of the void." She added.

"Think about it and see if you have any clues."

Jessica had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

Simon also sighed for Oliver and Jessica. These two miserable people were together against all odds. Just as they began to live a good life, Oliver disappeared and Jessica was extremely worried.

He knew that after Oliver became the president of the Williams Group, he fired a lot of people and prevented many people from getting rich. However, when Simon heard Jessica's words, he felt that the incident that night should have been premeditated.

They got the news at short notice, and they were ambushed on their way out. Therefore, someone must have known their itinerary beforehand.

This was more or less related to the Williams Group's technology company in Holland.

But Simon didn't know exactly what it had to do with them.

He definitely couldn't rush in to investigate. After all, the most important task now was to find Oliver's whereabouts.

Although Simon knew that Oliver was in Birmingham, he didn't know everything about Oliver.

Oliver had been abroad for so many years. Simon didn't know what Oliver had done or who Oliver knew. Simon just knew that it was unfathomable.

Seeing that Jessica was tired, he comforted her. "Madam, you should rest well first. Wait for Mr. Williams to come back. Mr. Williams will be fine."

Jessica nodded slightly.

Jessica went back to lie on the bed. She felt tired, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking of Oliver carrying her through the water with a gunshot, she felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife, which ached so much.

She sat up and drank some water, then went back to bed. She looked at the ceiling and listened to the door.

Maybe the next second, Oliver would be back.

People often said that as long as one was sincere, he would get what he wanted. She prayed for Oliver in her heart.

In the next week, none of the people they sent found any news about Oliver.

Simon said, "Madam, let's go back to Birmingham first."

"No, I won't leave until I find Oliver," Jessica said.

"Madam, we've tried everything and even the police are helping us, too. However, we can't find Mr. Williams. I think there's only one possibility. Mr. Williams doesn't want us to find him for the time being."

Jessica thought about Simon's words. As long as Oliver's body was not found, there was still hope.

"Besides, there's David here. If there's any news, he'll send it to us immediately. We'll come back when we need to."

Simon really couldn't stand Jessica's haggard look. If she went on like this, the consequences would be unimaginable. When Mr. Williams came back, he would blame him for not taking good care of his wife.

If Jessica returned to Birmingham, at least she could eat well and rest well. She could also see her her grandma, and she would get some comfort.

She really couldn't help at all by staying here, and she had to trouble a lot of people to take care of her physically and emotionally.

"Okay, let's go back to Birmingham for the time being."

Before she left, she repeatedly told David that no matter how much manpower and money he spent, he must do his best to find Oliver's whereabouts.

After getting David’s postive answer, she took on the plane.

Jessica sat on the plane with her eyes half-closed. Suddenly, the image of herself accidentally pouring a glass of juice on Oliver came to her mind. Oliver, who looked sullen, didn't even look at her.

Oliver said he fell in love with her at first sight.

"Maybe I remember it wrong," she said to herself, shaking her head.

She was in the same mood as when she returned to Birmingham. At that time, she was worried about her grandma's worsening condition. This time, she was worried about Oliver.
