Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 217

Sitting in the hot air balloon, Jessica almost fainted.

Fortunately, the hot air balloon only flew for ten minutes before landing on the beach by the sea.

There were many people on the beach as it was a tourist attraction.

Lambert led Jessica into the crowd quickly.

On the other side, Oliver knew that Jessica had been taken out of Bulgari Resorts by Lambert.

He took a few men and went out to look for Jessica.

However, there were many tourists from all over the world on Bali Island this season.

Since Jessica threw away the bouquet, she lost the tracker. It was not easy to find her within a short time.

Oliver had already arranged people to guard the exits of Bulgari Resorts.

He wanted to catch Lambert, but he didn't expect him to flee away.

Only did Oliver discover that when he found some parts of the hot air balloon that were left on the ground.

At this moment, Oliver was most worried about Jessica's safety.

He quickly took his men to a relatively empty place outside and tried to find Jessica as soon as possible.

On the beach, Jessica's face turned pale and she was out of breath.

Perhaps because of being dragged into the hot air balloon, her mind was in a daze and her whole body was very uncomfortable.

Jessica couldn't walk anymore that she was about to fall down on the beach.

Lambert dragged her out from the beach and got her out of this place.

He knew that Oliver would come after him soon, and it would be too late to leave.

"Lambert, I really can't walk anymore." Jessica panted.

On the one hand, her body really felt its limit.

Yesterday night, thinking about the wedding day and the upcoming chaos, she didn't sleep well.

In addition, the shock of escaping almost drained her entire energy.

"Hold on for a while. We'll go to the airport immediately. As long as we get on the plane, everything will be fine." Lambert convinced Jessica as he walked.

"I'm pregnant with your child, so can you give me a break? If this continues, I am going to labor on the road."

Jessica wanted to threaten Lambert with the baby in her stomach in exchange for a little pity.

Lambert hesitated for a few seconds.

When Jessica thought her words had worked, Lambert said coldly, "We have a doctor on the plane. Even if you give birth to the child halfway, it's okay."

Jessica felt dumbfounded.

She found that when Lambert spoke, he didn't look like a normal person, with his bloodshot eyes and twisted face.

"What about you leave first? I, a pregnant woman, can only hold you back." Jessica simply said it.

She wouldn't even want to go with him on a normal trip, let alone a runaway.

It was better for her now than being trapped in Lambert's high, dark courtyard.

Lambert would be punished for what he did.

Jessica didn't want Lambert to escape so easily.

But Lambert seemed to have read her mind.

He suddenly stopped, grabbed Jessica's arm with both hands, and said fiercely, "Did you know in advance that Oliver would be at the wedding today?"

Jessica looked at Lambert, feeling a piercing cold. "Lambert, I'm always under your close scrutiny. How would I know something you don't even know?"

As Jessica spoke, she was afraid and pretended to be calm.

Lambert had turned mad and could not be treated in a normal way.

Of course, Jessica had no choice but to deny it. She knew that Oliver would appear and destroy the wedding.

But what comforted her was that Lambert's uncle was brought back from North America in a hurry. She figured whether the information she had provided would help or not.

Anyway, when they returned to Birmingham, the truth of the car accident that happened to Oliver and his mother would finally come to light.

Jessica couldn't figure out why Oliver easily entered Bulgari Resorts on the condition that Lambert had prepared so much.

Of course, Lambert and Toby never expected this.

Lambert was not a fool. Oliver suddenly brought his uncle there to ruin his wedding, obviously trying to expose what Vicky had done to the upper-class society of Birmingham.

However, it had been so many years, and the car accident was under investigation for a period of time, but it ended in vain.

Why would Oliver find Fred in South America at this juncture?

Lambert was a little puzzled.

A scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

That day, he came back from the company to have dinner with Jessica. Later, it was delayed due to temporary emergence.

By the time he got home, Jessica had already had dinner.

While he was eating alone in the kitchen, his mother, Vicky, came in.

They talked about the car accident.

Because, although Lambert was underage at that time, he understood what had happened.

In particular, after spending so much time at the Old Residence seeing Jeff fighting in the business world, he had already understood the battles of interests and power.

Of course, he also understood his mother's situation. But he just kept silent as if he knew nothing about the truth.

However, he couldn't even remember something clearly due to the elapse of time.

For some reason, when they were having dinner that night, he asked his mom about some details of the matter, including something concerning his uncle Fred.

'Could Jessica have heard it?'

'Yes! Except for Jessica, even a fly couldn't slip into my yard.'

And no one could eavesdrop on anything he said at home and detect anything he did at home.

Lambert glared at her. "Jessica, did you betray me?"

Jessica tried her best to break Lambert's grip. "Let me go."

"Lambert, you have always been against my will to deprive me of my freedom. In my heart, of course, you are not my friend long before." Jessica said in one breath, "I betrayed you."

"How am I inferior to Oliver? Why can you accept him no matter what he does to you? Why?"

Lambert's roar attracted many people's attention.

However, the way they were dressed now looked like they were fleeing from a wedding.

Since it was a private question between couples, it was certainly not appropriate for passers-by to interfere.
