Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 157

"Miss Zamani is here for you. I won't disturb you two."

After saying that, Jessica stood up and left the club.

She returned home and went to Oliver's study.

She sat behind Oliver's desk casually and accidentally discovered a drawer that was unlocked. There were a black bank card and two keys in it.

Jessica picked up the keys. One was obviously the car key, and the other was the house key.

Oliver hadn't mentioned that he was going to give someone a present. Maybe the car and the house had something to do with his work. Jessica didn't think much about it and put the keys back in the drawer.

Then she decided to surf the online again to see if there was any new development about Oliver's news. To her surprise, she couldn't find anything about the news on the Internet. Their efficiency was beyond her expectation. Maybe she should have asked Lambert first.

Jessica was still nervous. Even if the news had disappeared, Oliver might still be investigated when he came back.

Troubles just came one after another.

Also, she could feel the concern in Lambert's eyes every time he stared at her, which made her uncomfortable.

If she had been friends with Lambert before, why didn't Oliver tell her? What was more strange was that it seemed Lambert didn't intend to tell her either.

She felt like there was a thick fog around her.

After a few days of peace, gossip media revealed that Oliver was married and that his wife was Tina.

An ordinary lady from the White family married the boss of the Williams Group, the biggest and richest company in Birmingham. It was like the contemporary version of the story Cinderella.

The name Tina hit the headlines immediately.

She had always wanted the people of Birmingham to know that she was Mrs. Williams. Now that she succeeded so easily, Tina's heart was filled with joy.

It was the highlight of her life. She enjoyed so much being watched and envied by everyone.

She felt that all the women in Birmingham were jealous and hateful of her at this time. She liked it that way. Oliver wasn't here anyway, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Tina couldn't feel better. She attended upper-class parties almost every day.

And she was obviously the focus of the party.

In the past, she had to ask her friends to take her so that she would have the opportunity to attend such parties. Many people at the party didn't even want to talk to her because of her low status.

But things were different now. She was now the real Mrs. Williams, at least in the legal sense.

On the other side, Jessica heard about the news too, and she did not ask Lambert to deal with the gossip again.

However, Jeff asked Hugh to take Jessica to the Old Residence.

Jessica looked pale, whose lips were chapped. It was obvious that she had been having a hard time these days.

The servant served her a cup of tea, which was still steaming.

"Take a seat and have some tea first," Jeff said.

Jessica followed the old man's instructions. She picked up the teacup and could only feel a little temperature through the edge of the cup.

She took a sip of tea and said, "Grandpa, why did you call me here?"

"You saw the news, didn't you?" Jeff asked coldly.

What he referred to was certainly the news about the marriage between Oliver and Tina.

At this moment, Jessica understood why Jeff had invited Tina to dinner on new year's eve and why he had treated her that way later.

Now everything was clear.

"Well, I don't care about this gossip. I'm Oliver's wife." Jessica said.

Jeff glared at her. "This is not gossip. It's true."

"Impossible." Jessica couldn't believe it. She had believed before that someone had exposed such gossip because he wanted to take the opportunity to smear Oliver at this time.

"Do you know about your sister's pregnancy?"

The teacup in Jessica's hand suddenly fell to the floor.

The exquisite teacup made of fine bone china was smashed to pieces.

Jeff asked the servant to clean up the floor and bring Jessica another cup of tea.

"Tina? That's impossible."

Jessica remembered that day when Tina had been praising her husband who was abroad in front of her. Could it be that the husband she was talking about at that time was Oliver?

However, she had never found anything strange when she was with Oliver. Even the servants at home were acting normally.

Her back was drenched in a cold sweat.

"This is the truth. Tina is indeed the one who has an engagement with our family. Your relationship with my son is a mistake."

As Jeff spoke, he glanced at Hugh beside him.

Hugh put a check in front of Jessica.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Jessica looked at Jeff in astonishment.

"I asked Oliver to tell you the truth last year, but he was indecisive and didn't do it. Now that he's not here, it's the best time for us to solve the problem, so I would like to help him break up with you."

These words came out of Jeff's mouth word by word, like bullets shooting through Jessica's body.

"Grandpa, I can't promise you. I'll wait for Oliver to come back and explain it to me by himself. If this relationship is truly nothing but my wishful thinking, I'll certainly leave." Jessica said.

"You haven't got enough trouble, have you? I'm doing this for your own good." Jeff coughed again because of his anger.

Hugh, who was standing by the side, stepped forward quickly and patted Jeff on the back.

Jeff continued, "If you don't leave now, there will be other news about this soon. Not only will it hurt you, but even the reputation of our entire Williams family will be lost."

Jessica didn't know what news it would be that could bring such serious consequences. "Grandpa, if you don't make it clear, I can't promise you." She still insisted.

"Since you don't understand, I'll be straight to the point. You've lost your memories now. Do you know that the child you're carrying is not Oliver's at all?"

The news that Jessica heard today was like thunder, exploding in her head one after another.

She had cheated on Oliver, even though she didn't know about it herself. How could Oliver continue to develop his career in Birmingham? How could the Williams family continue to keep its reputation and dignity? In no way would Jeff allow news like that to be known to the public.

Jessica staggered to her feet.

Hugh walked up to her. "Miss White, this check was given to you by the master. You can fill in any number on it. We just hope you leave the young master early and draw a line with the Williams family."

Jessica said, "There's no need for a check. When it's time to leave, I'll leave by myself."

Hugh insisted on sending Jessica out. They met Lambert at the gate.
