Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 173

Lambert didn't seem to have any intention of discussing it with Jessica.

Jessica sat on the bed, trembling all over.

He went out of her room and went to his mother, Vicky, to tell her that he was getting married.

Vicky had just taken a walk in the garden outside. When she heard that Lambert was back, she immediately returned to the living room.

"Lambert, why are you back?" She said.

"Mother, have a seat first. I have something to tell you." He said solemnly.

She sat down and heard her son say calmly, "I'm going to marry Jessica."

Her face immediately darkened. "I don't agree."

"Mother, this is my business."

"You can't marry a tramp who was abandoned by that woman's son." Vicky said angrily, "That woman took your father away from me. And now her son abandons that Jessica, but you want to marry Jessica. I would never allow that."

"Mother, I know that you have been holding a grudge against what happened decades ago. I will fight for your title. Just agree to my marriage with Jessica."

"I've suffered so much in my life. But I don't care. As long as you live a good life in the Williams Family, there's still hope." She snorted. "Fortunately, that old man treats you well."

By that, she meant Jeff.

She hated Jeff but didn't dare to show it. It was all because of him that she couldn't legally become Daniel's wife. She had never forgotten that.

"I know you've been living alone outside for so long because of me. In the future, I'll let you become the legal Mrs. William of the Williams Family." Lambert really took pity on her mother at this point.

"What's so good about that Jessica? Does she think she can marry into the Williams Family with the baby in her belly? Not just I won't agree, even that old man won't agree."Her eyes were filled with contempt.

He then said, "Grandpa has agreed to this."

She said in astonishment, "What? Really?"

Lambert nodded.

She was still unwilling. "Lambert, with your current status, many women want to be your wife. Why did you have to choose such a woman? You know she's been with Oliver. Are you out of your mind?"

Lambert was really angry at the thought of Oliver.

However, at this point, he must get the woman he liked by all means.

Sometimes people had a kind of obsession. It was not because of how outstanding Jessica was, but the more Jessica pushed him away, the easier it will be for him to have a desire to possess her.

"I know what I'm doing." He completely ignored his mother's objections.

Vicky sat on the sofa and covered her chest. "Lambert, just listen to me this time. You can't marry that kind of woman. You're just starting to gain power in the Williams Group now. You need a woman who can help you in your career. There are so many young ladies from a prominent families in Birmingham. Don't you like any?"

She listed the number of unmarried young ladies in every prominent family in Birmingham. Each and every one of them was much better than Jessica, in appearance and wealth.

She used to keep her eyes on the wealthiest families. At that time, Lambert was still an artist and hadn't entered the Williams Group. She had been looking for help to set up blind dates for Lambert, but not many of the ladies were willing to marry him.
