Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 455

The party had started but Jane hadn't changed her clothes.

Only then did Vivian say, "Miss, don't worry too much. Let me change the clothes for you first. You have to receive the guests outside."

Yes, she couldn't leave everything to Lucas as she was the hostess of the Youngren family.

But if she appeared in front of the guests, Oliver would know that she was the one who had kidnapped his son.

Otherwise, how could she hold a party in this house?

She told herself to cheer up, whatever happens.

Jane said, "Okay. Let's change my clothes."

Vivian handed a black dress to her.

Jane had chosen it on purpose.

All the guests were coming to the party for fun.

They didn't know that Jane had always been regretting not to stay by her grandma's side when she passed away.

She gave a premature birth because she was too sad at that time.

By the time the baby had been born, she was kidnapped by someone sent by Marina as soon as she left the hospital.

It was a lifelong regret for her not to say goodbye to her grandma.

That was why she decided to wear a black dress on her last night in Birmingham. She wanted to mourn for all those who had passed away in the Youngren family.

No one would understand what she was doing but that was okay for her. As long as she knew the meaning of all this, everything she did would be worthwhile.

She changed her clothes and put on make-up.

Jane stared at herself in the mirror.

She couldn't help but think of her mother Zelda, who she never had a chance to meet personally. At this moment, she was wondering how she was doing in heaven.

She recalled the happy time she had spent with her grandparents in the Youngren Residence when she was a child. Her eyes were filled with tears.

Vivian came in to remind her again, "Miss, most of the guests are here. Lucas asked you to get ready to give a speech outside later."

Vivian and Lucas had developed a habit of calling each other by their first names when they were growing up together abroad.

So Vivian always called Lucas by his name.

She never called him young master for the sake of his safety.

Jane replied, "Tell him I'll be right there."

Lucas had already greeted all the guests just now. Of course, he told them that he was not the host of the party tonight.

And he would invite the host of tonight's party out soon.

Lucas's words made the guests more curious.

They couldn't help but wonder who was it that was holding a party at this villa and did it have anything to do with the previous Youngren family.

Jane came out soon.

The whole hall fell into silence as she came out.

Not until a few seconds later did someone start to applaud.

Then the guests burst into thunderous applause.

Jane attracted everyone's attention with her prominent black dress as soon as she appeared.

She looked so noble and beautiful.

She was also a little surprised by the sudden applause.

Fortunately, she had already experienced many big occasions in Holland.

She managed to calm herself down quickly, even though she had been excited.

She said slowly as she walked up to the stage, "Thank you, everyone, for attending this party here in the Youngren Residence."

She was recognized by someone as soon as she started to talk. She was the famous artist who held an exhibition at the Jessica Art Gallery in Birmingham days ago.

Some guests began to whisper.

Jane's speech sounded quite official. She thanked everyone for supporting her here despite their busy schedules and also praised the rapid development of Birmingham.
