Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 72

Jessica was suspicious and went straight to the office.

It was Alice who was sitting in Oliver's office.

Probably to gain Oliver's sympathy, she came over in a wheelchair. When she was lying in the hospital, she called Oliver to weep out her grief in vain. So no one could stop her from coming to the Williams Group to look for Oliver.

Alice's forehead was still wrapped in gauze and it was clear she was seriously injured.

"Oliver, I heard you took Jessica away from the police station?" Alice looked at Oliver with tears in her eyes.

Oliver said in a flat tone, "Yes."

"How can you let her go after she had done that to me? Oliver, it's all her fault for my injury. How could you be so careless about me for a secretary? You didn't treat me like this before."

Alice pretended to cry. Oliver sitting opposite her remained unmoved, expressionless.

"I'll ask the driver to take you back to the hospital."

"I'm not going back. My friends will laugh at me when they see me like this. It's all because of that b*tch," Alice said in a vicious tone at the mention of Jessica.

Then, she felt she lost her composure and wept again, "Oliver, what kind of secretary do you want? I'll recommend one to you. Please fire that secretary."

Alice didn't know his secretaries' name. She didn't even bother to ask. She only knew her surname and she was a secretary who had just joined the Williams Group.

Oliver, who was sitting on the sofa at this time, got up and went back to the desk. He busied himself with work, ignoring Alice.

Seeing this, Alice pushed the wheelchair inexperiencedly to him, "Oliver, as long as you promise to drive that woman away, the Zamani Family will not mistreat you. Don't you want the land in the west of the city? I can persuade my brother to sell it to you."

Oliver raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Alice. He did not expect that unremarkable woman to have such value. He did not know what she had done to make Alice lose her mind and say those ridiculous words.

He said emotionlessly, "The personnel arrangement in our Williams Group will not change because of an outsider's words."

Alice didn't expect Oliver to reject such a condition. "Oliver, do you think I'm an outsider? I don't think that way of you. You're not an outsider to me. When you were in a car accident, grandpa and the others were the ones who wanted to cancel the marriage. That's not what I meant. I didn't expect you to get married so soon after you returned home. When you got married, I was devastated. I couldn't hear any voices talking about you at home. Even my friends knew that, so no one dared to mention you in front of me. Do you know my feelings? You know..."

"Enough." Oliver stopped her, "I've always treated you as my sister. Even if the marriage is not canceled, I wouldn't marry you. That would do harm to you."

Alice was secretly glad to hear Oliver's words. He refused to marry her for her happiness. It seemed that Oliver still cared about her.

"What about your secretary?"

"I'll deal with her," Oliver said with a wicked smile.
