Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 81

Lambert left the office in a hurry. First, he went back to GrandVilleApartments and then to his bedroom. He saw that the things in theroom were still the same as when he left last night, but the woman wasgone.

Last night, after he left the bedroom, he stayed in the study and didn'tsleep. He didn't hear anything from the master bedroom. He askedSimon to call Williams Hospital to check if she had gone to see hergrandma. The answer was negative.

Oliver suddenly felt a little flustered.

“This woman is really gone. She was not in the hospital, nor did she goto work. When did she leave?"

He called Dancey over and got all the surveillance videos of GrandVilleApartments yesterday. On the computer screen, he saw Jessica in awhite down jacket leaving at 3.55 a.m. The woman staggered, carryingnothing in her hands.

Oliver knew that it should have been when he had just returned to thestudy. He inadvertently glanced at the clock hanging in the study atthat time. It was 3:45 a.m. At that time, he was upset but the woman'spitiful cry echoed in his head.

Soon Simon came back.

"Mr. Williams, I looked everywhere madam could go. But there was nogood news."

Oliver hadn't slept all night and had a long morning meeting. He waslivid and he couldn't hold back his tiredness any longer. He frownedand said coldly, "Go check her ID card to see if she's ever bought aticket."

"There is no record of the purchase.”

"She probably hasn't left Birmingham yet. Look for her right away. Idon't believe that a living person can completely disappear.”

Simon asked, "Do you want to call the police first?"

"Are you not as efficient as the police?"

"Okay. I'll ask our men to look for her now."

Oliver was upset and wanted to replace something to divert his attention,so he turned on the TV and saw a news report. Last night, there was amurder in a taxi in the suburbs. The victim was a pregnant woman.The murderer drove the car to the suburbs and raped the victim beforekilling her. The victim was also dismembered and abandoned in thewilderness, and police were currently looking for the victim's familythrough the TV news.

Oliver suddenly sat up, picked up the car keys, and went straight to thepolice station

This time, Tom received Oliver and took him to the interrogation room.There was a bald man sitting by the wall.

Oliver grabbed the suspect's collar. "Tell me, what was the woman inyour car wearing?"

"A white... white coat.” The suspect was even more scared when he sawhim than when he saw the police.

"What did she look like? Did she have long hair or short?"

"Long... Long hair. Because it was not dawn yet, I didn't see her clearly. Ididn’t mean to kill her. I just felt that the woman was beautiful, so Iraped her. Later, I was afraid that things would be exposed, so I killedand dumped her body."

"F*ck you. Are you f*cking insane? Woman is born to be loved andprotected, not raped! You f*cking loser. It is because of the crap likeyou, women have to be careful at any time.”

Oliver always despised such losers. He believed this world should treatwomen better, at least better than some sh*t men.

He wanted to replace a photo of Jessica for the suspect to identify, but henoticed that he didn't have a picture of the woman on his phone. Hecalled Shank and asked him to send Jessica's picture to him

Oliver knocked on the suspect's head to make him see clearly. The baldman looked for a moment. "Probably not."

"Probably? You have to be sure.”

As Oliver spoke, he punched the bald man's face, which was sooncovered in blood.

Tom, who was standing by and looking at them, cautiously advised,"Mr. Williams, calm down."

Suddenly, Oliver's phone rang. It was Darcy who called him from thesecretary's office. Darcy said that she had received an email fromJessica about her resignation.

Oliver immediately asked Darcy to forward the email to his email.

Then he spoke to Tom, "I want him dead, painfully dead. Rapists don'tbelong to this society. Are we clear?"

Tom, the chief, definitely agreed with his words and nodded.

Back in the car, he turned on his phone and saw the woman'sresignation letter. It seemed that she was determined to leave him andthe Williams Group.

Simon took people to the train station, bus station, and airport. Even ifhe didn't see Jessica's ticket purchase records, these places must beguarded. It was easy to get a fake ID card on the black market as longas the money was paid.

However, they searched everywhere and did not hear from Jessica for afew days.

Oliver went to the Williams Family mansion with great anger. Jeff wentabroad with his old friends. The servant told Oliver that his brother wasat home.

When Oliver walked straight to the studio, Lambert was drawing withhis head down. Noticing Oliver, Lambert stopped and placed the brushin his hand on the penholder. He was a little surprised and asked, "Whyare you here?"

"Where did you hide that woman?"

"What woman?" Lambert asked in confusion.

Oliver said firmly, "Jessica."

"What have you done to her? Since you're married to her, please bekind to her."

"Why? Do you want to take her away from me because she's married tome?

"Oliver, if you don't treat your wife well, you should let her go. Eventhough you're not happy, you shouldn't ruin her life.”

Oliver sneered, "So you want to be a hero and save her?"

"She was forced to be with you. If I had met her earlier, maybe shewould have been my wife."

As soon as Lambert finished speaking, Oliver hit Lambert hard on hismouth and blood immediately oozed out.

"How dare you covet my woman? I've warned you long ago.” As hespoke, he punched Lambert again.

The two men began to fight.

When the servants heard the noise, they ran to the studio and pulledthem away.

They knew that they were on bad terms, but they did not expect thatwhen their father was not at home, they actually fought.

Oliver didn't come here today to fight. He had to hurry to replace thewoman's whereabouts. Since Lambert didn't know anything, Oliver leftin a hurry.

Lambert had not seen Jessica since the night of the first snow. He didnot expect her to leave now. She left sooner than he had expected.

'I should have taken her away.’
