Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 325

Jane sat in the back row and saw a familiar figure among the crowd raising the numbers in front of her. It was Simon.

She was a little confused. When did Oliver become interested in art?

In the past, he would not send his men to the auction to buy artwork that he would have not appreciated at all.

Rich people of Birmingham were in a frenzy of biding and raising their cards.

Finally, this painting, the representative work of Huang Gongwang in the Yuan dynasty, "Fox Mountain Residence," was sold at the price of 150 million dollars.

The deal was made only after Simon had raised the number to offer the price.

Jane found it amusing. She didn't expect that Oliver would be the ultimate sucker.

It was not time to trouble him at present.

But she could make use of this matter to get Oliver to help her fight against Jason and Marina.

Oliver was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he had to know exactly what the company was spending, let alone 150 million dollars.

Otherwise, the Williams Group wouldn't have been dominating in Birmingham under his leadership all these years.

In the past, other families might have the chance to catch up with the Williams family.

But today, the other families in Birmingham were far left behind,

especially the Zamani family whose pace of declining was fastened in the past few years.

Henry was still alive and could still keep the Zamani family respectable now.

However, he was indeed old.

Oliver knew better that if he invested recklessly like Aaron, he would sooner or later lead the Williams Group in the wrong direction.

As a result, Oliver had been very prudent all these years

Apart from building the Jessica Art Gallery. He was willing to pour money in it and had known that it might not be a success, but he never regretted it.

This time, that Oliver let Simon buy the Fox Mountain residence actually had connections with Jessica.

At that time, while Jessica was still losing her memory, Oliver and her had been to the hotel next to Fox Mountain together.

Jessica once told him that there was a Chinese painting which generally depicted the scene around Fox Mountain.

They sat on the top floor of the hotel and looked around. The scenery was almost the same as that of the artwork.

Oliver could tell at that time that Jessica liked this work very much.

As a result, when hearing that "Fox Mountain residence" had appeared on the market again, he made up his mind to obtain it.

He wanted to hang this painting in the hotel room where they had lived before.

Over the years, Oliver would go there for a few days on the grounds of work so as to remember his love.

Jane liked this painting very much. At that time, she was really close with Oliver, so she chatted with him without reserve.

However, she really had no idea why Oliver bought this painting.

No matter what the reason was, he really had spent a great deal of money.

Jane didn't know if Oliver realized that the work he had spent 150 million dollars on was fake, what he would do to the seller.

Jane was happy to see them fight against each other.

When Marina and Jason got to know that the painting was auctioned for 150 million dollars, they happily opened champagne at home.

Jason didn't feel sorry at this time and supposed that the money should be used as soon as possible. Acting in front of Marina made him exhausted.
