Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 151

Jessica's eyes shifted and she said, "He's busy. He won't able to come today."

Grandma saw that she was not looking well and guessed that the two of them had quarreled.

"Did he give you a hard time again?" Grandma said.

Hearing her words, Jessica wondered if he was used to giving her a hard time.

Besides visiting her grandma today, she had something to ask her.

A while ago, when she was worrying at home and overthinking, she realized that she didn't buy any medicine at all in Holland. She remembered that she only received a call from her grandmother when she was in Holland and then returned to Birmingham.

It was on the plane back that she spilled the juice glass all over Oliver because she was unsettled.

At that time, Oliver didn't leave her a good impression, but she was too worried about her grandma to care about it.

Thinking of it, she realized that he was really too much and despised her.

At that time, she didn't know that he was Oliver.

Now that everything was connected, it was clear that he was Oliver, and obviously, he wasn't in love with her at first sight as he said.

She could only get the answer to why she went to Holland from her grandma.

Jessica sat back and thumped grandma's back while chatting.

After catching up, she said, "Grandma, I can't remember the medicines I bought in Holland last time. I want to buy some more this time, but I don't know the name."

Grandma froze at Jessica's words.

"Jessica, I'm alright. I don't need that medicine anymore."

Jessica didn't beat about the bush and said, "Grandma, I went to Holland last time for something else, right? I remembered I was crying on the street on a rainy day. I received a call from Birmingham saying that you were sick and hospitalized."

Grandma looked at Jessica in a daze. "Child, what else do you remember?"

Jessica rubbed her head. Everything else came to her mind in bits and pieces, but she was clear about things that happened during her grandma's illness.

"That's about it."

Grandma nodded. "If your memory can be recovered, let it be. It's better if you don't remember what happened before. You're pregnant. You should keep a stable mood."

Jessica knew that her grandma probably kept a lot of things from her in the past. She didn't ask further as she knew her grandma was doing it for her good.

As soon as she returned to GrandVille Apartments, she began to search for things that had something to do with the past, only to get nothing.

She called Winnie up.

"Winnie, where did everything go before I lost my memory?"

Nanny Winnie stammered, "Madam, you didn't bring many things here. Everything is in the cloakroom."

What Jessica wanted to ask her was why her personal belongings were nowhere to be found.

But she didn't want to make things difficult for Winnie.

It made sense if Winnie did not know that as she just married into the Williams Family.

She went to the cloakroom to look for the new clothes and jewelry.

Now, everything around her was new, and it was hard to find any clues.

The last time she went to the White, only to find nothing of hers. She wondered how she had lived in the past.

Doubt grew in her heart, and she couldn't be at ease.

The next day, she went to the White again.

She asked Jason, "Are my old things still here?"

Jason glanced at Marina, for he didn't know where all the things went. Marina handled everything at home.

Marina smiled and said, "Jessica, when you got married, you said you didn't need anything and asked me to clean up everything that was left at home."

Jessica didn't believe Marina's words because she knew she was nostalgic.

"Didn't my mother leave me anything before?"

"You probably took all those things away. I saw some of your old clothes while I was tiding up. But I threw them away thinking that you had everything you needed in the Williams Family."

Jessica checked the house when she came here last time. She had no memory of her childhood. How could there be other things left here?

Now, she didn't have any evidence to prove if Marina was wrong.

"Then why would I marry Oliver?" Jessica said.

Since she remembered that she didn't fall in love with Oliver at first sight, she was eager to know why she married him later.

Jason said, "Our families are business partners. The intermarriage between us is natural. So we agreed when the Williams family mentioned it. You're lucky to marry into such a good family. It's all thanks to me."

Jessica didn't hear anything about her relationship with Oliver from Jason. All he said was how powerful and wealthy the Williams Family was in Birmingham. It sounded Jessica was not good enough for Oliver.

She couldn't stand it any longer and left.

However, she was more convinced that there must have been something in the past that no one else would tell her after asking a group of people.

...

In the Williams Group.

Lambert was the vice president. The big things in the company were supposed to be approved by him.

Not long after, Lambert transferred Toby back to the headquarters from southeast Asia.

The first thing Toby did was to find his former subordinates and win over a group of people he could trust.

It was blustery inside the Williams Group, and people were panicking.

They were all guessing that something had happened to Oliver.

Under Oliver's leadership, the internal structure that had just begun to operate steadily was once again disrupted.

Inside the company, Simon was forced to be marginalized, so he could only wait for Oliver to come back quickly and take charge of the overall situation.

He didn't want Jessica to know about these things, but the Internet had been keeping an eye on the Williams Family. In addition, Lambert was a celebrity in the art world. News about him always hit in the artist and financial world.

Jessica was easy to know about it online.

As Oliver was not around, for the time being, Jessica wanted to go to the Williams Group and see if she could find her past work records. She thought some colleagues could remember her at least.

Simon went downstairs to pick up her as soon as he knew she arrived at the downstairs of the company.

When they reached the top floor, they found an iron fence in front of the president's office.
