Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 185

When she arrived at the ward, her grandma took out a small locked box from the cabinet. Then she opened it and did take out some photos.

When Jessica saw the photo of herself with her mother when she was a child, tears welled up in her eyes.

Amy and Annie saw that and knew that Jessica and her grandma were talking about their previous family affairs, so they did not pay much attention.

Her grandma then took out a small bag of things and winked at Jessica.

Jessica quickly picked it up and put it in the pocket of her coat behind Amy and Annie's back.

Fortunately, she wore thick clothes. No one could see that there was something in her pocket.

After sitting in grandma's ward for a while, Jessica took the initiative to leave.

After they arrived at the so-called Jessica&Lambert's House, Amy and Annie all breathed a sigh of relief. They were also afraid that if something happened to her, they couldn't explain it to Lambert.

Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly, and Jessica was more cooperative.

When she came back, Jessica went back to her room.

She sometimes wondered if Lambert would install surveillance equipment in her room.

So she went straight to the bathroom and plugged the door in.

Then she opened the things that her grandma had given her. Inside was an A5 file bag with an ID card, driver's license, and a set of other spare documents.

It turned out that David was so reliable. Jessica thought that Oliver would definitely be able to get out of the trouble with his lawyer, David, by his side to help.

Jessica picked up the ID card and saw a brand new name. The photo on it was somewhat similar to her. A smile lifted the corners of her mouth.

In the afternoon, when Lambert came back, he asked her about her visit to the hospital in the morning.

He kept apologizing for not accompanying her to the doctor.

"It's okay. I can handle it alone." She said.

It was more like Jessica's attitude.

Jessica thought it was a good thing he didn't go with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought the things back so easily.

Even if she wanted to show that her relationship with Lambert was restored and win his trust, she couldn't be too exaggerated. She dealt with it the way she used to.

After dinner, Jessica went to the studio to draw as usual.

Everything was ready, and her mood lightened a little. She was in a leisure mood and had the interest to draw.

Just as she was enjoying drawing, she heard Lambert walking out of the study.

Jessica looked up and saw that Lambert had gone out with the phone.

She also ran to the door curiously and peeked out to see where he had gone.

She didn't know what Lambert was talking to others on the phone. He actually went straight to the yard.

Jessica then ran to his study unconsciously and saw a pile of documents on his desk.

She took a closer look and saw that there was a shareholding agreement.

Only then did Jessica know that Lambert, not only the president of the Williams Group, was running another company outside. In order to deceive the public, he let someone take the shares. But he was the actual controller of the company.

Jessica happened to be holding her phone in her hand. She immediately turned on the camera and took a picture of the shareholding agreement.

In her panic, she heard footsteps outside. She immediately put away her phone and sat on the sofa beside her.

Fortunately, when she was about to enter the study just now, she saw a midnight snack delivered by the servant on the table, so she put it on the coffee table.

Jessica estimated that when Lambert was about to come in, she took the midnight snack from the plate and was about to walk over and put it on Lambert's table.

At this moment, Lambert's voice came from behind, "Jessica."

But the voice was different from usual, with some anxiety and uneasiness.

When Jessica looked back, Lambert saw the midnight snack in her hand. So he calmed down. "I'll do it myself."

"The pear soup from the kitchen. I think you were busy just now. So I let them put it aside. It's getting cold. You should drink it quickly."

As Jessica spoke, she put the pear soup on the coffee table again because there was a bowl of hers on it.

They sat on the sofa and had the midnight snack together.

After the midnight snack, Jessica put away the bowl. "I'll take them straight to the kitchen. I've been sitting for a long time. So I'll go for a walk."

Lambert looked at the documents on the desk and said, "Well, I happen to have some work to do, so I can't accompany you."

Jessica smiled and carried the plate. When she came out, she staggered and felt like she was about to faint.

She had been drinking pear soup to hide her nervousness.

Fortunately, Lambert was also full of worries. He felt a little strange at first, and then he did not pay more attention to Jessica.

Jessica knew that she had to leave as soon as possible. Sooner or later, Lambert would find out that she had taken some shady documents in his study.

Because when Oliver suffered a gunshot wound and was still abroad, the news about his insider trading had been brewing.

According to Jessica's recent observations, this matter should have a lot to do with Lambert.

Lambert had just become the president of the Williams Group, but according to his current expenses and style of doing things, there must be something fishy.

Jessica didn't sleep well all night, afraid that Lambert would suddenly go in to her room in the middle of the night, take her phone, and never let her out of the yard again.

The next day.

When Jessica got up, she saw that Lambert and Vicky were already sitting at the table and eating breakfast.

She said apologetically, "Sorry, I got up late."

"If you want to sleep, just sleep a little longer. You don't have to get up so early." Lambert said.

When Vicky heard that her son was so indulgent to Jessica, she glanced at Jessica who was yawning.

After her last conversation with Jessica, the relationship between them eased a lot.

But Vicky was very uncomfortable that Lambert was so nice to Jessica in front of her.

"Young people have to behave themselves. The elders in the family are up. There's no reason for the juniors to sleep." Mrs. William said, "What's more, Lambert, you work so hard every day. You always leave home early and return late. At least your family will have breakfast with you."

Jessica was not in the mood to care about Vicky's words at all. After she sat down, she lowered her head and ate the porridge in the bowl.

She observed that there was nothing unusual about Lambert and knew that he probably hadn't noticed anything yet, but in front of him, she was still very nervous and didn't even dare to look into his eyes when she spoke.

Lambert only thought that she didn't have a good rest.

Soon, Lambert left home and went to work.

Only then did Jessica breathe a big sigh of relief.

She had to find a reason to go out. If she said to see a doctor, it would definitely not work and would arouse Lambert's suspicion.

Now, in this courtyard, Vicky was the only person who would probably help her.

Jessica made some preparations in the room and went to find Vicky, her future savor.
