Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 58

In the past few days, Jessica had been observing the president's office.Although she couldn't recognize all the people who entered Oliver'soffice, she knew that they were prominent figures in the group.

When she delivered the files to Oliver, she found that his expressionwas kind of twisted. Although his face was usually dark before, shecould see the difference between the two kinds.

Jessica folded her hands and held them for a while. Finally, shemustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Williams, is it because of the landin the west of the city?"

Oliver gazed up with mixed feelings. "Focus on your own work. Don'task anything you shouldn't know."

"Okay, I see."

Jessica left the president's office uneasily.

Although Oliver didn't say anything, he had come home much laterthan usual in the past few days. After all, they lived together. Jessica feltthat this matter was very important to him.

In the afternoon, Jeff came to the company and had a terrible quarrelwith Oliver in the office. Almost everyone on the same floor had heardthem.

Jessica did not dare to step in and say anything to them. She was notqualified to interfere in this. She wanted to try her best to fix it.

Jessica didn't like all the youngsters of the Zamani Family at all, but sherespected Henry very much.

Henry was the successor of the Zamani Family and its brush-makingcraftsmanship, and he promoted the Brushshop to a higher level. Inaddition to the brush-making profession, he also had the agility of abusinessman. Through the first bucket of gold he earned in the brushhouse in his early years, he bought many pieces of land to exploit realestate, developing the small brush shop into a diversified group of realestate, art collection, and energy investment.

When she was young, Henry's Brushshop was not big. Her grandpaTerence often took her there to buy brushes. Terence and Henry wereclose friends.

After she married Oliver, her grandma overheard the nurse talkingabout the gossip between Jessica and Oliver. Later, after beingrepeatedly asked, she told grandma the truth that the person shemarried was not Vincent, but Oliver of the Williams Family.

Her grandma knew that Jessica married Oliver because of her illness.One day when Jessica went to visit her, she held Jessica's hand withtears in her eyes, "My dearest, I'm old and I don't know how long I canlive. I shouldn't have dragged you down.”

Hearing this, she comforted her grandma, "It's good to marry theWilliams Family. They are rich and powerful. No one can bully usanymore."

"My child, it's difficult to escape since you marry into a rich family.Nevertheless, if you want a divorce someday, you can ask a person tohelp you."

"Grandma, I'll see to it myself."

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you someday so I have to tell younow. You may not remember the Henry that you met as a child. Heowed your grandfather his life. If you go to him, he will definitely helpyou."

At that time, Jessica didn't take it seriously. She didn't want to askanyone else, as long as she had something to sell out, whether it washer body or labor force. After all, Henry owed her grandfather thatfavor, not her.

But now, she was thinking about that.

Jessica only wanted to spend the year flatly with Oliver. She had neverthought that this was not an easy year. But she had to solve theproblem, for Oliver and for the company.

She had to come forward. The source of all the matters started with theconflict between her and Alice, and Aaron wanted to help avenge Alice.After making the decision, she planned to go to the Zamani's first toplead for forgiveness and request Henry's agreement to sell the land tothe Williams Group.

But now that Henry was living a cloistered life, it was not easy tocontact him.

Fortunately, Sally could help. She was an executive of the ZamaniGroup. Perhaps she could be a middle person.

After Jessica got off work, she asked Sally to go to the privaterestaurant they had been to for dinner.

When Sally arrived, she wore a dark gray suit and eight-centimeter highheels. It could easily be found from her dress-up that she had gonehere from work.

Every time she saw Sally, she would give her a different feeling. Herstyle was really flexible, but her smile always made her feel at ease.Jessica greeted Sally with a smile at the door. "Sally, thank you forcoming here."

"Aren't there any handsome boys to accompany us? Or it's just you andme?"

"How can I invite such figures? Just the two of us, okay?"

"I was just kidding. I've been looking forward to coming over for dinner,but I haven't booked a table yet. Thanks to you, I can enjoy a big mealtoday.”

"I only got the position because of the Williams Group." Jessica smiledwith a little shyness.

They ordered some food and chatted, then they talked about Aaronbeing beaten to the hospital by Oliver.

"Miss White, you're Mr. Williams's secretary. Do you know whathappened?”

Others only knew that the fighting was probably because theengagement was canceled by the Zamani Family, and Oliver beat upthe people of the Zamani Family to regain dignity.

Sally knew more or less about Oliver. She knew there must be anotherreason but she didn’t know exactly, so she asked Jessica.

Jessica didn't know how to ask for help. Since Sally asked, she just saidopenly, "Because of me."

Sally's gossipy eyes began to scan Jessica, and she said in surprise, "Didthey fight because of jealousy?"

"It's not about jealousy. But the conflict was caused because of me."Sally liked to watch men's jealousy for a girl's favors, which was farmore interesting than Lambert's pathetic story. She joked, "So youinvited me to dinner for..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jessica blurted out, "Could youhelp me contact Mr. Henry Zamani."

Sally thought she was going to visit Aaron because he refused all visitsfrom Williams Family since he was hospitalized. Of course, Oliver neverintended to see him after that.

"Do you know Mr. Zamani?"

“I saw him a few times when I was a child."

"Are you doing it for Oliver himself or for the Williams Group?”

"Both. To tell you the truth, Oliver is my husband. Anyway, I can't juststand by."

When Sally heard the word "Husband," the cup in her hand almost fellon the ground.
