Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 206

"Jessica, why are you walking around like a ghost in the living room?" Vicky scolded.

Jessica looked at her seriously. Vicky really thought of herself as the head of the Williams family.

It was still up in the air, but she took it seriously.

Jessica said coldly, "If I'm a ghost, what are you? Didn't you come in quietly too?"

When Vicky heard that Jessica started to contradict her again, she said fiercely, "Why? Don't you know you should respect the elders? You are about to marry into our Williams family. Do you think you can stay at the Williams family for a long time?"

Jessica was worried, so she didn't want to argue with Vicky anymore. She turned around and was about to walk into the room.

"Stop." Vicky snapped.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have that much time to hear your nonsense." Jessica said coldly.

"Do you know where Lambert went this morning?"

"How would I know? I'm not his secretary or his assistant. Why don't you ask Amy and Annie?"

"Why are you so impatient to talk to me?"

"Didn't I tell you that I didn't have that much time to talk to you?"

"You don't suffer anything. Do you know how much Lambert has suffered to marry you? He has lost a lot of weight recently."

"Then tell me what you want me to do," Jessica said.

She suddenly realized that she might be able to get some information from Vicky.

However, Jessica didn't see the invitation list. She asked, "Do you know who has been invited to the wedding in Bali Island?

When it came to the wedding in Bali Island, Vicky scolded Jessica and even her own son.

However, she could only whisper these curses in her room.

Anyway, she was used to talking to herself. She felt better after cursing them.

Lambert had promised to make her the hostess of the Williams family.

Therefore, she swallowed her anger and watched her son organize a grand wedding overseas.

She had asked Lambert who would be invited to the wedding.

Because she wanted to know if her natal family would be invited.

If Lambert invited them, she would feel proud. After all, her son was the heir to the richest family in Birmingham.

Over the years, although she was not short of money and did not worry about food and clothing, she had hung her head in shame. It was mainly because her identity had not been recognized by the Williams family.

It was even more impossible for her natal family to take advantage of the Williams family.

But now Vicky finally found such a chance to show off in front of her natal family.

When she asked Lambert, she realized that none of her natal family was invited.

She was the only one from the Larner family who was invited. After all, she was Lambert's biological mother.

When Vicky found that even Jessica didn't know who had been invited to the wedding, she felt better.

She asked, "Why are you asking these questions? Doesn't Lambert even tell you who he invites?"

"You're right. I really don't know. So please tell me. It's gonna be awkward if I don't know anyone at that time, especially those from your family, who are Lambert's closest relatives. You can introduce them to me first."

Vicky didn't know what to say when she heard this.

Lambert didn't invite her family.

She thought that Jessica wouldn't know everyone at the wedding, so she said, "They're all abroad. They may not be able to get back in time. You'll have a chance to meet them in the future."

"Our wedding is going to be held abroad. Where is your natal family? Won't it be convenient for them to fly there?"

"My brother is in South America. It is not as convenient for him to go to South America as it is for us to go from Birmingham."

"Oh, he should be my uncle. I heard from grandma that uncle usually helps with nephew's wedding since Lambert's father passed away."

"Lambert's grandpa is helping around. They don't need my family." Vicky said.

Jessica finally got some useful information. It turned out that Lambert's uncle had been hiding in South America.

She wanted to send the news to David as soon as possible.

Lambert had settled down everything about the wedding, and he wanted to go to the Old Residence to make it clear to Jeff.

Before he went, he specially prepared some expensive tonics.

Jeff was recovering. Now he was lying in the yard basking in the sun, thinking about Lambert.

Hugh walked over and said, "Lambert is here."

Lambert took a bag of tonics and walked to Jeff. "Grandpa, I have had some tonics bought for you."

Jeff's face darkened and he did not speak.

Hugh came forward and said, "Lambert, give me the tonics. You can have a talk here."

Lambert sat down in a chair beside Jeff.

Jeff said coldly, "Why are you here today?"

Lambert suddenly stood up from his chair and knelt down in front of Jeff. "Grandpa, I'm here to ask for punishment."

"Punishment?" Jeff glanced at Lambert, who was kneeling at his feet.

"Grandpa, you asked me to cancel the wedding before. Because of my negligence, wedding invitations have already been distributed. It's too late to cancel the wedding now."

Lambert lowered his head and said to Jeff helplessly.

Jeff's eyes flashed with sadness.

He thought that Lambert wanted to explain about Oliver being shot in Holland, but he didn't expect that Lambert was here to force him to agree to their wedding.

"Really?" Jeff asked angrily.

"Grandpa, I know it's against your will to do this. This is the most important thing in my life and I want to make my own decision this time. Please."

"What's Jessica's opinion?"

"Of course, she's very happy to marry me. After all, I'm the father of her child. You know she's very kind and would rather give the child a family." Lambert did not expect Jeff to consider Jessica's feelings.

He added, "I'll bring her to see you another day. She's pregnant now. It's not convenient for her to go anywhere."

Lambert was not serious. He didn't want Jeff to see Jessica alone.
