Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 214

Jessica said indifferently, "Yes."

After a while, Jason also came in. He was going to lead Jessica into the venue.

"Today is your big day. I'm happy for you," Jason said.

Jessica looked at Jason's smirk and wanted to kick him out of the room.

But he was invited by Lambert, and she could not embarrass them.

Otherwise, they might not be able to continue the next steps.

"Thank you for coming." Jessica raised a fake smile.

Jessica put on the wedding dress. It was hard to notice that she was pregnant.

After all, it was embarrassing that she got married when she was pregnant.

Jason was no match for other people that attended the wedding today.

But he had to rely on Lambert in Birmingham. Such a big shot needed respect from others.

When Lambert returned to the church, the music was already playing.

Before the wedding ceremony started, Lambert went on stage and spoke.

He explained why Jeff didn't attend the wedding.

"Thank you all for coming to my wedding with Jessica."

"My grandfather, Jeff, was supposed to be the host of the wedding, but he was sick and couldn't come to the wedding."

"So, my mother, Vicky, will host our wedding."

People in the upper class of Birmingham knew about Lambert's mother.

They didn't expect that Lambert would ask his mother to host his wedding.

After all, Vicky did not have any status in the Williams family, except, of course, she was Lambert's mother.

There were whispers among the people sitting below the stage.

Lambert added, "I thank my mother very much. She brought me life. Without her, I could never see all the good things in this world. So here, I want to thank her in front of everyone."

Vicky did not expect that although Lambert was cold to her, he still attached great importance to her at the crucial moment.

Tears streamed down her face.

Lambert said other words of thankfulness and invited Vicky to come on stage to express her feelings.

Vicky was dressed well today and sat in the front seat.

That was supposed to be Jeff's seat.

When she stood up from that seat, other people understood that Lambert was taking the opportunity to clear his mother's name.

In this way, no one could underestimate her in the upper-class social circle of Birmingham.

Lambert, of course, was thinking about his reputation. He couldn't let anyone else despise him, saying that he was just an illegitimate child.

Vicky went on stage and took Lambert's microphone, her hands trembling.

Perhaps it was because she had not had any formal social contact for a long time, and the people sitting under the stage were either rich or noble.

She was apprehensive.

However, this was a rare opportunity. She had to say what she had suppressed for so many years.

She had always felt aggrieved. At one time, she thought that no one understood her and would call her a homewrecker.

Today, she wanted to clear her name.

Vicky forced a smile and said, "Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to attend my son's wedding."

At first, her voice was trembling.

Then she gradually started to get into it.

She first recounted her relationship with Daniel.

The more she said, the more excited she became.

She didn't mention that she was pregnant after Daniel got married.

Jessica's grandmother was sitting under the stage with a look of disdain.

She didn't expect Lambert's mother to describe her experience as a mistress so romantic.

Just listening, the old lady was angry for Oliver's mother, and then her body trembled.

The doctor next to her asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

She was indeed not feeling well, but she couldn't leave now. She wanted to see Jessica come in.

She was worried.

But Lambert, who was sitting under the stage, saw that she was uncomfortable.

The doctor told Lambert about the details of her condition.

Lambert whispered, "If she can't stand it, you can take her out to have a rest."

He knew that if she fainted at the wedding or went into shock, it would influence the wedding ceremony.

The doctor got Lambert's permission and sat back next to Jessica's grandma.

Vicky talked a lot on the stage. Anyway, she had poured out all the grievances she had suffered.

People who didn't understand the situation were confused. The wedding hadn't started, but it seemed to become something about the mother-in-law.

After Vicky finished speaking, Toby went on the stage to speak.

After all, Lambert's father was gone, and Jeff was lying in the hospital.

Toby spoke briefly on behalf of the Williams family.

The people sitting below the stage were all excited.

They wanted to see what kind of woman was so lucky to marry the president of Williams Group.

Soon, Jessica came slowly with Jason in the melodious music. She had a bouquet of lush orchids in her hand, and she was wearing a custom-made wedding dress.

The guests saw Jessica. Some of them widened their eyes, and some of them whispered to each other.

Although Jessica had put on makeup and was far away from them, many people could still see her face.

"The bride is so beautiful."

"Wow, I've never seen a photo of Lambert's fiancée in the news or gossip. It's amazing to see her in person."

"The bride's face is so familiar. I think I've seen her somewhere."

Ever since Jessica entered, the discussion had not stopped.

Fortunately, there was music to cover it up. Jessica couldn't hear it anyway.

Jason handed Jessica's hand to Lambert and went down to sit next to Jessica's grandma.

But Jessica's grandma was annoyed to see Jason.

She didn't like Jason, but her daughter insisted on marrying him.

Jason did well before her daughter died.

And he kept his mistress and illegitimate child a secret.

Jessica's mother didn't know the truth until she died.

If she knew, she would not let him manage the property of the Youngren family for Jessica. They had agreed that Jessica would become the owner of the Youngren family when she became an adult.

Unexpectedly, Jason revealed his true nature when his wife passed away. He brought the mistress and illegitimate child to their house right away.
