Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 239

At that time, Emily happened to have a conflict with her family over her ambition to be a singer.

If the family knew that she was dating the eldest son of the Kim family while she was only 18, they would probably have punished her according to the rules of the Youngren family.

However, not long after, their affairs were still discovered by the elders of the two families.

Emily's father was Terence, Jessica's grandfather.

The Youngren Family didn't have much conflict with the Kim Family because of business in the past.

However, the two families had not had much contact before.

Terence did know some friends who liked antiques. By chance, he heard about the Kim family.

It was said that the Kim family had prospered for so long and robbed the rest of Birmingham's wealth. He said he must do something to break the Kim family's monopoly in Birmingham's real estate industry.

Most importantly, it was the best time to do it. He heard that the Kim family offended the people above when they expanded their business in the capital.

Someone came to Birmingham on purpose and colluded with many small families to disrupt the Kim family.

At that time, when Terrence heard about this, as a businessman's acumen, he knew that there must be a big shot to trouble the Kim family.

If the other families joined together, the Kim family would be got a crisis.

Since he had heard such big news, when he heard that Emily was going to be with the eldest son of the Kim family, he wouldn't let her do such a stupid thing.

"Emily, don't hang out with the eldest son of the Kim family anymore. That's a family out of our league." Terence said.

When Emily heard this, she was naturally unwilling.

However, she knew her father's temper very well. She knew that she could not persuade him for a moment, and she did not directly contradict him. She wanted to find a suitable opportunity to explain to him.

She continued to date him secretly.

At that time, he still looked like a playboy. He didn't even like to ask about his family's business all day long.

He was young, but he was interested in antiques. At that time, he often collected some collections in private from some buyers.

Gavin saw a Buddha head in the antique shop and liked it very much, so he planned to buy it.

The shopkeeper told him that this Buddha's head was precious. Terence who was good at treasure appraisal in Birmingham had also said it was a rare treasure.

If he wanted to buy it, he would invite Terence to the store and talk carefully.

When Gavin heard that he was going to invite Terence over, he immediately refused.

He heard from Emily that Terence was now against the two of them dating. Before she could talk to her father to prevent them from meeting each other.

At that time, the Kim family was rather influential. Gavin bought whatever he liked without any hesitation.

He stamped the card and took the Buddha's head.

Then one day, Gavin was at home playing with the things he had bought when a group of people in police uniforms came in to question him.

Gavin felt that he liked to spend money for fun, and didn't do anything, so he asked his servants to bring the police in.

"May I ask what makes you here? Are you here to tell me that I have just received a new treasure? Are you interested?"

But just as he finished speaking, those in uniform walked into him and put his hands behind his back.
