Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 149

When Jessica returned to Birmingham, she decided to tell Jeff about Oliver's accident.

Since she was back, she couldn't continue to hide it. After all, Jeff was the head of the Williams family.

Jessica arrived at the Old Residence. Jeff and Lambert were both there.

"Grandpa, something happened to Oliver in Holland. Please send someone out to find him and save him." Jessica said bluntly.

When Jeff heard this, his hand, which was holding tea, paused.

He didn't know anything about Oliver's accident. He glanced at Lambert beside him.

Lambert deliberately turned his eyes away.

After all, Oliver was his own grandson. No matter what, he didn't want Oliver to be in danger.

He suddenly scolded Jessica. "Why didn't you tell me what happened immediately?"

Jessica shuddered in fear. Most importantly, in Jessica's impression, Jeff was still the kind old man who greeted her as "granddaughter-in-law".

Jeff looked unhappy the last time they had dinner on New Year's Eve. After all, Jeff and Oliver didn't get along well with each other and Oliver often provoked his grandfather. So she didn't worry too much about it at that time.

Now she found Jeff to be a stranger.

She comforted herself. Perhaps Jeff was too worried about his grandson's safety. At that time, she was also thoughtless and did not tell Jeff in advance.

But at that time, even if she told Jeff the bad news, they were too far away to offer any help.

Lambert, who was sitting by the side, said, "Grandpa, she's worried and sad enough. Don't scold her. We have to discuss how to find Oliver's whereabouts."

Jeff expected Jessica to disappear. However, he didn't expect her to come back while his grandson Oliver disappeared.

Jeff looked at Jessica resentfully.

Seeing that Jeff was angry, Lambert turned to Jessica and said, "I'll send you back to GrandVille Apartments now. Grandpa and I will take care of it. You can go back and have a good rest first."

When Lambert saw Jessica appear, he could hardly recognize her. She looked haggard, and when she spoke, she was also timid and weak.

It seemed that she appeared similar to the time before lost her memory. Lambert felt terrible to see her like that.

Jessica explained the whole story again and then got up to leave.

Lambert sent her out.

Jessica said, "Lambert, you should go back. The driver will take me back."

"I'll take you back. I can learn more about your situation back then." Lambert said.

Then Jessica agreed.

Lambert drove, and Jessica sat in the back seat.

Lambert said, "You look tired. You can lie down in the back for a while."

Anyway, his car was spacious enough.

Ever since Lambert went to work at the Williams Group, he seemed to have changed.

In the past, he used to dress up casually and drive a jeep.

Now that he was in a suit and leather shoes every day, he drove a Maserati instead.

Jessica perked up and said, "I'm fine."

In the car, Lambert had been asking about Jessica's situation in Holland all the way, but he didn't mention much about Oliver.

He asked again, "When you arrived in Amsterdam, where did you live?"

Jessica said, "No. 27 Hotel."

As soon as Lambert heard No. 27 Hotel, he looked at Jessica through the mirror.

What a coincidence! They went to live in the No. 27 Hotel again.

"Was it safe in the hotel?"

"It was always safe in the hotel. The accident happened on the way."

Then the lingering fear in Jessica's heart surged up again, and she looked sorrowful.

Lambert drove straight into the yard.

Shank greeted Lambert, "Hello, First Young Master."

He didn't expect Lambert to come to GrandVille Apartments again. Oliver had ordered him not to open the door for Lambert before. However, Jessica was present. If Jessica asked, he couldn't offer an explanation.

Fortunately, Oliver was not at home, so he opened the door.

When Lambert arrived, Jessica invited him to sit in the living room for a while.

Jessica wanted to know how they would look for Oliver.

Lambert and Jeff got along well. Jessica hoped that Lambert could say something nice about Oliver in front of Jeff. In that way, it would be more likely for Jeff to figure out a way to find Oliver's whereabouts.

Lambert agreed to Jessica's request and promised to find a way together.

The Williams family didn't give up on Oliver, and they were trying to save him.

Oliver had told her before that he had no feelings for the Williams family, so she felt sorry for him.

Jessica felt a little comforted by Lambert's words.

When Lambert returned to the Old Residence, he saw Jeff talking to Toby in the living room.

He also walked in and greeted, "Hi, uncle."

Jeff asked, "Tell me the truth. Did you know that something happened to Oliver before me?"

Neither of them spoke.

"Now that you have grown up, you are beginning to do things behind my back. Don't harm our own people. After all, you are the flesh and blood of our Williams family. As long as I am alive, there is no room for hurting each other."

Jeff was not in good health. When he got excited, he coughed incessantly.

"Toby, are you involved in this?" Jeff asked.

Toby said, "Oliver offended so many people in Birmingham. You know that. You can't blame me for what happened to him. Of course, I admit that I knew a few days earlier than you, but the branch in Holland has already been looking for him."

Jeff glanced at Lambert. "You've changed too. You used to tell me everything. Now, like your uncle, you've learned to hide it from me."

"Grandpa, I'm afraid that you're too weak to bear the bad news. We're all trying to find a way." Lambert said.

"Now, it's time to use our special intelligence team. We must find Oliver." Jeff told Hugh, the butler.

Hugh had been with Jeff for decades. Hugh even knew more about the family than Toby.

When Toby and Lambert heard that the Williams family had the special intelligence team, they looked at each other.

Hugh helped Jeff back to his room to rest.

Toby and Lambert also left the living room.

Outside, Lambert asked, "Uncle, you really not know who did it, don't you?"

"You're not doubting me, are you?"

"I don't doubt you. I just want you to get out of your way in front of grandpa. Sooner or later, grandpa will find out about this."

Lambert's words were also a reminder to Toby that if he was involved in this matter, he couldn't take it lightly.
