In the past few days, Jessica had been observing the president's office. Although she couldn't recognize all the people who entered Oliver's office, she knew that they were prominent figures in the group.
When she delivered the files to Oliver, she found that his expression was kind of twisted. Although his face was usually dark before, she could see the difference between the two kinds.
Jessica folded her hands and held them for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Williams, is it because of the land in the west of the city?"
Oliver gazed up with mixed feelings. "Focus on your own work. Don't ask anything you shouldn't know."
"Okay, I see."
Jessica left the president's office uneasily.
Although Oliver didn't say anything, he had come home much later than usual in the past few days. After all, they lived together. Jessica felt that this matter was very important to him.
In the afternoon, Jeff came to the company and had a terrible quarrel with Oliver in the office. Almost everyone on the same floor had heard them.
Jessica did not dare to step in and say anything to them. She was not qualified to interfere in this. She wanted to try her best to fix it.
Jessica didn't like all the youngsters of the Zamani Family at all, but she respected Henry very much.
Henry was the successor of the Zamani Family and its brush-making craftsmanship, and he promoted the Brushshop to a higher level. In addition to the brush-making profession, he also had the agility of a businessman. Through the first bucket of gold he earned in the brush house in his early years, he bought many pieces of land to exploit real estate, developing the small brush shop into a diversified group of real estate, art collection, and energy investment.
When she was young, Henry's Brushshop was not big. Her grandpa Terence often took her there to buy brushes. Terence and Henry were close friends.
After she married Oliver, her grandma overheard the nurse talking about the gossip between Jessica and Oliver. Later, after being repeatedly asked, she told grandma the truth that the person she married was not Vincent, but Oliver of the Williams Family.
Her grandma knew that Jessica married Oliver because of her illness. One day when Jessica went to visit her, she held Jessica's hand with tears in her eyes, "My dearest, I'm old and I don't know how long I can live. I shouldn't have dragged you down."
Hearing this, she comforted her grandma, "It's good to marry the Williams Family. They are rich and powerful. No one can bully us anymore."
"My child, it's difficult to escape since you marry into a rich family. Nevertheless, if you want a divorce someday, you can ask a person to help you."
"Grandma, I'll see to it myself."
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you someday so I have to tell you now. You may not remember the Henry that you met as a child. He owed your grandfather his life. If you go to him, he will definitely help you."
At that time, Jessica didn't take it seriously. She didn't want to ask anyone else, as long as she had something to sell out, whether it was her body or labor force. After all, Henry owed her grandfather that favor, not her.
But now, she was thinking about that.
Jessica only wanted to spend the year flatly with Oliver. She had never thought that this was not an easy year. But she had to solve the problem, for Oliver and for the company.
She had to come forward. The source of all the matters started with the conflict between her and Alice, and Aaron wanted to help avenge Alice.
After making the decision, she planned to go to the Zamani's first to plead for forgiveness and request Henry's agreement to sell the land to the Williams Group.
But now that Henry was living a cloistered life, it was not easy to contact him.
