Lambert greeted him and was about to help him push the wheelchair when Oliver went around the two of them and entered the living room.
Lambert smiled helplessly and said, "Jessica, let's go in first. "
As soon as Jessica stepped into the living room, she saw a hale and hearty old man sitting in the middle of the seat.
Lambert whispered to Jessica: "This is Grandpa, relax, he's easy to get along with."
He could tell that Jessica was nervous.
Jessica walked to Jeff's side and said, "Hello, Grandpa. " She then handed the present over with both hands.
Seeing that it was from Henry's Brush Shop, Jeff praised her silently in his heart, thinking that Jessica had good taste and that Oliver was right to marry her.
Oliver, who was sitting at the side and did not say anything, saw this and became even warier of Jessica. The first time she came to Williams Family, she made the people in his house happy. He really did not know what other tricks she would play in the future.
After a while, many people came to the house one after another. Jessica did not know them.
At the dining table, Oliver's uncle, Toby asked slowly with his indifferent voice, "Oliver, have you gotten your marriage certificate? The board of directors has been urging you! If you don't calm them down, your position will be easily shaken. "
From what he said, Jessica could tell that Oliver married her for the reputation of the Williams Group.
As the president of the Williams Group, his words and actions represented the company. However, there had always been rumors that he had no sexual ability, which caused the company's reputation to be tarnished. He had also been questioned by the board of directors.
Oliver said coldly, "Uncle, even if I put the marriage certificate on their faces, people with ulterior motives won't let it go."
Toby heard and looked embarrassed. He looked at the silent Jessica sitting next to Oliver and sneered, "I don't know if I should call you Miss White or Mrs. Williams?"
Jessica didn't expect the flames of war to fall upon her. She turned to look at the expressionless Oliver, took a deep breath, and answered, "Uncle, you are the elder. You don't need to call me Miss White or Mrs. Williams. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name. "
Toby only knew that she was from the White Family, and he didn't know her name, so he just shut up.
At this moment, Jeff spoke, "Today is a family banquet, let's not talk about the company's matters. "
Ever since Oliver was in charge of the Williams Group, Toby had been dissatisfied, and his mind certainly couldn't escape Jeff's eyes.
"Oliver, the wedding has already been held, and the marriage certificate should be done as soon as possible. Don't let others gossip about it. "Jeff said.
Jessica looked up, seeing Simon walk in. He gave Oliver something and left with a nod.
Oliver opened two red booklets, held them in his hands, paused for a few seconds, and then pushed the wheelchair to Jeff's side, "Grandpa, this is our marriage certificate. "
Since the marriage certificate was taken out, the people present started to change the topic, commenting on the delicacies on the table.
But Jessica just saw the name on the marriage certificate, it was Tina.
'Could it be that Oliver thought that he was marrying Tina?
Oliver didn't care who his marriage partner was, probably as long as it was a woman, he wouldn't refuse.'
After the meal, Simon said to Jessica, "You can take Oliver's car and leave, Mrs. Williams."
'Mrs. Williams'
'From now on, I seem to have an identity, just that this identity was supposed to be Tina's.'
Jessica nodded and said, "Thank you. "
She sat timidly next to Oliver, closed the door, and instantly felt that the space in the car was very small.
Oliver's aura surrounded her, giving her an invisible sense of oppression.
They didn't say anything along the way, and the car soon arrived at GrandVille.
Getting off the car, Simon and Oliver went straight into the study.
"Sir, we checked the video of that Hotel, especially of the Asian wedding that day. It's not easy to distinguish a young woman's figure and appearance. We've temporarily locked onto a few Malaysians. "
"No matter which country she's from, find her first."
Ever since Oliver returned to the country, he often thought of the woman he was with that night. Unfortunately, the lights were dim, so he couldn't even see her face clearly.
Jessica knew that Oliver didn't eat much at night, so she asked the cook to prepare some supper for him.
This time, she didn't dare to personally cook again.
Jessica finished bathing and especially put on a thick nightgown that she wore during winter. She was afraid that the floor would be too cold, and if this continued, her body would collapse.
Oliver went back to the room and saw Jessica in the room, with her long hair draped over her beautiful back, creating a scene of peace and quiet.
Jessica heard Oliver come in and immediately got up, "Mr. Williams. "
Oliver looked at her coldly, still indifferent and distant. He only nodded slightly, as if giving Jessica a signal that he didn't seem to be in a very bad mood tonight.
Since he has acknowledged her as Mrs. Williams, Jessica mustered up her courage and whispered, "Mr. Williams, can I sleep on the sofa today? I'm afraid I'll catch a cold and might infect you. That won't be good. "
Oliver replied, "Okay."
Jessica immediately took the pillow to the sofa, afraid that Oliver would change his mind in the next second. She immediately realized that she seemed to be in too much of a hurry. She looked back at Oliver and smiled, "I'll go and get you some bathwater. "
Oliver's deep and calm eyes narrowed and stopped where she had left.
