Oliver still did not know where to find Jessica and when he returned to GrandVille Apartments, Martin was there looking for him.
Only then did Martin know that Jessica had run away from home.
"What exactly did you do to Jessica that forced her to leave you so quietly?"
Oliver moved his lips and said, "Do you think I'm a bastard too?"
"I think Jessica is a good girl. Since she's married to you, you should treat her well."
"How can you say the same thing as Lambert?" Oliver's expression became unreadable. "By the way, Sally has been close to Jessica. Call her over. Maybe we can get some new clues."
After Martin heard this, he said, "Then get her here immediately."
After receiving a call from Oliver, Sally could not figure out why he would invite her to his house. She guessed that it might have something to do with Jessica.
Oliver didn't tell her the details on the phone and just asked her to come over as soon as possible. Besides, she didn't see Jessica for a long time. She would like to drop by and see how such a couple lived together.
When Sally arrived, she was brought into the living room by the butler. Then she saw Oliver, who was sitting alone on the sofa in low spirits.
After Martin saw her coming, he poured a cup of coffee for her.
She felt the strained atmosphere here and said, "What's going on? What happened?"
Martin pushed the coffee in front of her. "Have the coffee first."
With such a tense atmosphere, Sally took a sip of coffee and asked, "Where's Miss White? Oh, I should call her Mrs. Williams instead."
Martin gave her a meaningful glance.
Then Sally knew immediately something was wrong.
Hearing her words, Oliver asked, "Do you know where Jessica is now? Did she contact you?"
"Mr. Williams, I don't know. I haven't seen her for a few days. I haven't contacted her since she went to the police station last time. I've always felt guilty. If Lambert and I hadn't insisted on dragging her to the opening ceremony of the exhibition, nothing would have happened."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that she shouldn't mention Lambert in front of Oliver, which would make both of them unhappy. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Martin give her another meaningful glance.
'Why do they treat me like this today? I did not do anything wrong. Why are they questioning me?'
Sally glared back at Martin as if to say that I didn't do anything wrong. It was not her fault.
"You're close to Lambert. Do you think it is he who hid Jessica?" Oliver asked.
"I don't dare to get involved in the matter between you two brothers anymore. I didn't know about your relationship with Miss White before, so when I saw them, I wanted to make a match between them. But when Miss White told me that she was your wife, I regretted it. From then on, I didn't dare to ask anything about you two. What on earth happened to you and Miss White?"
