Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 301

Tina looked at Marina in shock. She had no idea whether or not Marina was telling the truth.

After all, for Marina, money was more important than anything.

This was what she had concluded after years of reflection.

"Mom, are you crazy? What are you talking about?" Tina asked

Marina's hair was in a mess and her words were quite confusing.

She was in a terrible mental state because of her illness.

Moreover, ever since the last time she was intimidated by Jane, things from the past had beenhaunting her.

She was lying on the hospital bed as if she was a total wreck.

"You're the one who was crazy. You gave the money to Jason randomly without knowing where hespent the money. If you have time, you'd better go to the company and keep an eye on him."Marina knew Jason well. She knew that he would waste money recklessly.

"I'll go to the company and have a look.” Tina said, "But why did you say I'm not his daughter?"Tina felt it hard for her to ask that question. She had been Jason's daughter for more than 20 yearsand he treated her well. At least, compared to Jessica, Tina was regarded as the little princess of theWhite family ever since she was back.

She would never believe that Jason was not her biological father but still treated her like that.

"I'll talk to you about this later on. Now you have to know that you can't depend on Jason foranything. He was no longer the person who could support us. Someone wants him to die.”

Tina noticed that Marina started to say weird things and she wanted to ask who was her biologicalfather. But seeing that Marina had no intention of telling her the truth, she did not continue to ask.After giving the money to Jason, she felt somewhat regretful.

Although she didn't earn the money by working, it was actually more tiring for her to get thismoney. Of course, she wouldn't have earned this much if she went to work.

This was the money she managed to save up by convincing Oliver.

She gave it to Jason without thinking carefully and she now started to feel worried.

Then Tina went to the White Group.

When she entered the office, she didn't see Jason there. Then she asked someone from themarketing department where Jason had gone.

An employee from the marketing department told her that Jason was on a business trip and hadn'treturned to the company for a few days.

Moreover, Jason failed to pay wages for the employees and many of them were waiting for thewage before job-hopping.

Tina noticed that the company was in a mess, and she gradually realized that Marina was right.Although Jason took the money, he did not spend it on developing business for the company.Instead, he went on a business trip for a few days and hadn't come back yet.

Tina had the key to Jason's office. She opened the door and noticed that there was another deskinside. There was hand cream and perfume on it, which was obviously the desk of a woman

She didn't imagine that Jason recruited a female secretary or assistant this soon.

If Marina were here, he wouldn't have the courage to do so.

Now that Marina was severely injured for the company, Jason took her money and had fun insteadof caring about her.

Tina stomped her feet in anger.

She took out her phone and called Jason, but nobody answered.

She was getting even more furious.

Failing to replace Jason, she couldn't fully know the situation of the company. Consequently, she wentback to GrandVille Apartments.

Jason was on a business trip with Flora and they had a great time. After having delicious food, theyeven went to the casino for gambling.

When Tina called, he was busy gambling and had no time to answer the phone.

It turned out that Jason and Flora had succeeded in expanding business for the company and werevery happy.

There were many casinos under the hotel where they stayed and Jason wanted to have some funthere. He had kept the free jettons but Jason had no courage of using them until he succeeded innegotiating the business deal.

Now that the business deal was successful, he should reward himself for his hard work through cardgames.

In the beginning, Jason was favored by the luck and won several times.

Jason felt that today was his lucky day. Not only did he expand business for the company, but hecould even earn money through gambling.

As a result, he planned to leave immediately after consuming the free jettons. After that, he decidedto focus on the business deals and earn a great deal of money.

However, he didn't expect that he couldn't stop easily once he started gambling.

Soon, he lost all the free jettons provided by the casino.

Flora said, "Mr. White, I think you'd better stop now. If you keep on losing money, it wouldn't be agood thing. If Marina knows this, she will definitely blame you for doing so.”

Hearing this, Jason was discontented.

He played so well for the first few rounds that a lot of people cheered him.

Especially Flora, who kept praising him by his side.

Jason was very pleased with her praise and encouragement.

He hadn't heard praises like this from a woman for years. What Marina said to him every day wasthat he was a useless person.

Of course, Jason refused to give up and thought that he would be favored by luck again.

It wasn't that long before he lost all the money he had.

He didn't seem to lose his mind completely. After losing all the money he had, he got up and left.Flora said, "Mr. White, you've lost so much money. How could you explain this when you go back?""I don't need to explain to anyone! The whole White Group belongs to me and losing money is farfrom a big deal.” Jason was stubborn and pretended as if he didn't care about it at all.

In fact, his heart was bleeding for the loss of money.

He only spent a small proportion of money that Tina gave him on the company, and kept the rest ashis secret assets.

Even Marina didn't know about his secret assets.

He lost more than two million dollars in one night, which had pressed hard on him.

However, he did not want to lose face in front of Flora.

He acted like a rich boss who didn't care about losing money.

Jason and Flora returned to Birmingham the next day.

At this time, he realized that Tina had called him several times that he hadn't answered the phone.After Jason came back, he went to the hospital to see Marina. He thought that if Tina was there, hecould ask her for more money to make up for the loss in gambling.

Even though Tina was not the real Mrs. Williams, Oliver was quite generous to her financially. AndJason knew this very well.

In this case, Oliver's money could be regarded as his money.

It was not a big deal to lose two million dollars in gambling.

When Jason arrived at the hospital, he took special care of Marina.

Seeing him like this, Marina guessed that he must have planned something secretly.

"Jason, Tina said she went to the company to look for you but you weren't there. And you didn'teven answer the phone. Where did you go on earth?" Marina asked him in a sharp voice.

Marina didn't allow Jason to come to the hospital earlier because she was mad at him.

She had no idea that Jason was on a business trip.
