Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 67

Jessica sat in the interrogation room, and two people came in. They asked her some questions and then one of them said, "You are guilty of intentional injury. Stay here."

Jessica's eyes were filled with shock.

'What bullshit law is this? Without any evidence, I'm convicted of intentional injury. You gotta be f*cking kidding me.'

"I want a lawyer."

"Shut up."

Jessica knew that the Zamani's must have asked the police to make things difficult for her. At this moment, she was really a little scared. After all, with their power, they could decide what crime she had committed, and she might have to go to jail. But Jessica forgot one person, her nominal husband.

Lambert and Sally arrived at the police station.

Lambert asked the police to let her go. But the ordinary police didn't have the right. They could only report to deputy director Warren.

Soon, Warren came back from the office with a big smile on his face. "Oh, Mr. Williams, why are you here? Please come to my office."

"Please let Miss White go," Lambert said to Warren.

"Mr. Williams, come in and have some tea. I'll ask them about the case."

Warren felt a little guilty. Just now, Aaron called and arranged for the police station to interrogate Miss White. Now, Lambert came and asked him to let her go. He was in an embarrassing position now. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two families. He was so anxious that he sweated profusely. He went to the bathroom and called chief Tom for instructions.

"Chief, there's something going on. I need your advice." Warren gave the chief a general description of the matter.

"Who came?" Tom asked.

"That painter." Warren knew that Lambert was a painter. He often paid attention to the news in Birmingham, and he read about him in the newspaper the other day.

"You comforted him first and said that she would be released later. Ask him to go back first."

Tom was the one who knew the most about Birmingham's upper-class society. He knew every young master's power in the family very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in the position of chief for decades. He even knew that the two brothers of the Williams Family were not on good terms.

He handled the car accident that year by himself and had inferred that someone deliberately wanted to kill Oliver. In the end, there was no evidence, so he could only end the case in an ordinary car accident.

Besides, Lambert's status couldn't be compared to Aaron's. Although he was the eldest young master of the Williams Family, because his mother wasn't the legal wife when she gave birth to him at that time, his identity was a little embarrassing in the Williams Family. Apart from the fact that he was more loved by the master of the Williams Family, he didn't seem to be valued by the others of the Williams Family.

Aaron was different. He was the heir to the Zamani Family.

Although the Zamani Family was not as powerful as the Williams Family, Lambert was the one who stood for the Williams Family. After weighing the pros and cons, they could only make such a compromise.

Warren basically conveyed the director's meaning to Lambert, in a more tactful and acceptable way.

"Mr. Williams, you know that this matter involves the Zamani Family. If we do not handle it well, it will be bad that it may affect the relationship between the Zamani Family and your family. You can go in and see Miss White first. When we get the whole thing clear, we can explain it to you. I guarantee that she will be fine."

In fact, Lambert was downstairs then. He didn't know what happened between Jessica and Alice, so he agreed with what Warren said and went in to see Jessica.
