Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 286

At Jeff's funeral, Jane decided to go to the Old Residence of Williams family to mourn the old man.

She could get to know all the celebrities in Birmingham again. And all the famous people in Birmingham would be present.

After all, she had been away for five years. Although her appearance had not changed much, the economic layout of the various families in Birmingham was different.

The Zamani family, where Henry came from, was no longer as glorious as it was before, but the skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.

Williams family, on the other hand, had always been the head in Birmingham and it became even more prosperous.

Jane was dressed in a black suit, with her hair simply tied up behind her head. She wore a pair of sunglasses that were so big that they didn't match her face.

When she arrived at the Old Residence of the Williams family, she suddenly thought of the first time she came here.

The first person she saw at that time was Lambert, who was dressed in a white suit. He stood under a big tree and greeted her gracefully.

Now, things were different.

Even at the funeral of the old man of the Williams family, he couldn't come back to Birmingham. She didn't know if he would regret what he had done at that time.

Jane entered the courtyard outside the hall. There were already many people lining up in front of her, waiting to enter. She took Vivian with her and waited behind.

When she entered, she saw Oliver in mourning clothes shaking hands with the guests.

The person standing next to him was not Tina, but a five-year-old boy.

Jane carefully observed the child's appearance, which was exactly the same as Oliver's appearance in his childhood photos.

Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart hurt as if a knife were cutting it. If her child were still alive, he would also be at the same age as the boy.

However, there was something strange about the child's death back then. But she couldn't do anything.

She also wanted to come back to investigate this matter again, but it had something to do with Oliver, so it might be very difficult. She had to plan for it in the long run.

When it was time for Jane to comfort his family members, she had already taken off her sunglasses.

Her eyes were red, and it didn't look awkward on this occasion. Even if she was seen by someone else, they would think it was because she was mourning for Jeff.

Jane's appearance had changed a lot compared to before. But if her acquaintances looked closely at her facial features, they could probably guess who she was.

So, before she came, she made an extra effort on her makeup to make herself look totally different from Jessica.

When Jane reached out to shake hands with Oliver, she was very nervous.

Facing Oliver, she was too weak.

Her palms were a little wet and sticky.

Oliver had shaken hands with so many people for a whole morning out of politeness. When he held Jane's hands, he inadvertently trembled.

He immediately looked up at Jane.

Jane was afraid that he might see her through, so she immediately released her grip.

She bent down and reached out to the little boy beside him. The little boy looked a little absent-minded. He was a little scared when he saw a hand reaching over, so he hid behind Oliver.

Jane felt something was wrong with the look in that child's eyes.

She withdrew her hand and left quickly.

A week later.

Vivian received a call from the property manager, saying that her application form had been rejected. The reason was that the studio could not do art-related business because it would affect the art gallery.

She asked the specific reason, and the people in the property only said that it was decided by the people in the headquarters of Williams Group.

After knowing the result, Jane decided to find another place to establish her studio.
