Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 210

Since no one had called this landline for a long time, the servant did not react for a moment. A few seconds later, she ran over and picked up the phone.

"Is Mrs. Williams home?" There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone.

The servant didn't recognize the caller.

Although they all called Vicky Mrs. Williams, they all knew that she was actually not.

If she was looking for Jessica, she would still be Miss White and had not officially become Mrs. Williams.

The servant hesitated for a moment.

Jessica asked, "Who is it?"

"The phone said he was looking for Mrs. Williams." The servant replied.

Jessica was taken aback. Could it be that David called home?

She could now remember that he was the one who addressed her Mrs. Williams directly.

Vicky was also confused because the person who usually looked for her would naturally call her on her cell phone, not the home landline.

Since she was addressed as Mrs. Williams, she stood up to answer the phone.

However, Jessica was one step faster than her.

As soon as she picked up the phone and said hello, the other side hung up.

Vicky asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. When I picked it up, the other party had already hung up."

"Probably the wrong number."

She continued to eat.

Jessica went back to her room with her heart beating fast, thinking about the call just now.

In the evening, when Lambert came back, he checked the phone records at home and saw an unfamiliar number.

He called the servant and asked, "A call came in this morning. Who is it for?"

Because almost no one called except Lambert on the landline at home.

The servant immediately knew what Lambert was asking.

She said, "A phone call came in. It said it was for Mrs. Williams. Maybe it was a wrong number. Madam and Jessica were both there at that time. As soon as Jessica got the phone, he hung up."

"Okay, you can leave now."

Lambert asked the servant and sat in the living room for a while before looking for Jessica.

He knocked on the door, but he was shocked to find that no one answered.

Then he went to the studio to look for her. Just as he was walking, he saw Jessica coming in from outside.

"Where have you been?" Lambert asked unhappily.

Jessica sneered. "I'm just taking a walk in the yard. Where else do you think I can go?"

The closer they got to the wedding, the more Lambert felt that he was in a state of extreme nervousness.

Hearing that Jessica was not very polite, Lambert realized that he seemed to be too nervous and said, "I came here to talk to you."

They went through the studio together.

"What's the matter?" Jessica said.

"I'll have someone send you to Bali Island tomorrow. You go and get used to the environment first. I won't be there until later because I have to deal with the group affairs in Birmingham." He said.

Lambert's words were completely unexpected to Jessica.

"Isn't there a week before the wedding? Do I need to rush over so early? I think I'll be in Birmingham and wait to go with you."

Jessica didn't want to go there so fast.

If she were in Birmingham, as long as she did not get married for a day, she would have a hope that she might be able to escape from this high wall courtyard.

Especially in the morning, she had a hunch that the person was David who had called to confirm if she was here.

No matter what happened, she still had such hope in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Lambert would make arrangements for her to go to Bali Island immediately.

When she arrived at that unfamiliar place, she would be even more at a loss.

It seemed that Lambert would send someone to keep an eye on her 24 hours a day.

And she could have no hope to wait for someone to rescue her from there.

Jessica looked gloomy and disappointed.

She wanted to say something more to Lambert, but when she saw his expression, she knew that the more she said, the more Lambert would not change his decision.

"You don't have to prepare anything. Just tell Amy or Annie whatever you need. I'll let them accompany you there first."

"Can't we be two days late? I thought it would be okay to go with grandma."

"Don't worry about grandma. I'll arrange for a doctor to take care of her on the plane."

Jessica knew that if grandma wasn't with her, even if she had a chance to escape, it would be of no help if grandma was still in Lambert's hands.

"Since you have arranged this, I can only accept it," Jessica said reluctantly.

Although Lambert has made complete arrangements, he still felt uneasy.

On Bali Island, he had asked Toby to take over the Bulgari Resorts. It took him a week to clear up.

It seemed that Oliver was still in jail and could not escape. No one should be able to go in and make trouble.

However, he was still very uneasy.

He had been comforting himself not to scare himself. Now, people in Birmingham were no match for him.

After Jessica and Lambert finished talking, they went back to their rooms.

She lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

She had been thinking all night about how to deliver the news that she was about to leave, but she didn't even have a cell phone in her hand.

She racked her brains and thought of many ways.

Jessica didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Just as she fell into a deep sleep, she heard a knock on the door outside.

She got out of bed in a daze. When she opened the door, she saw Amy standing at the door.

"Why do you get up so early?" Jessica's eyes were bleary.

"Miss White, Mr. Williams asked me to take you to take a flight later." She said.

"Are we leaving now? You needn't be in such a hurry. Isn't there one more day left?"

Jessica didn't expect that she would leave without even giving her time to digest the information.

"Miss White, this is Mr. Williams's arrangement. Please don't make it difficult for us." She said.

Amy and Annie probably knew about Jessica's character.

In the past, as long as they said that, Jessica would usually be very cooperative.

However, Jessica was really in a bad mood today. She was already preoccupied, and she even had a bad rest, which made her even more agitated.

Jessica slammed the door shut and went to find Lambert.

Amy followed her and said, "Mr. Williams has already had breakfast in the dining room."

Jessica blustered and went to the dining room. "Lambert, do you have to not even give me a chance to breathe by letting Amy disturb my rest early in the morning? I'm a pregnant woman now. I'm under a lot of physical and mental pressure. I just want to live every day peacefully. Is that a tough requirement?"

No matter how angry she was, it seemed to be of no help.

Lambert still insisted that Amy and Annie take her to the plane immediately.

Of course, he would personally send Jessica to his private jet.
