Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 96

Lambert knew Jessica's whereabouts from James.

"She should rest quietly to recuperate now."

"She should be in Lambola City. If I buy a plane ticket now, I can arrive there today."

"Lambert, the situation here is already in a mess, so I don't want you to make things worse."

Before Sally could finish her words, Lambert hung up the phone.

Lambert had been looking for Jessica ever since she had left, but he had not heard from her at all. However, he accidentally met James who had scolded Oliver fiercely in front of him. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

Sally returned to the room and stammered, "Well, Lambert heard that you had something wrong here and rushed over."

Jessica heard and said briefly, "It's okay."

Now that she was unable even to protect herself, she really had no energy and time to meddle in other people's business.

After a while, the hotel staff knocked on the door to deliver the food.

The four of them sat together to have brunch just now. Jessica lost her appetite and really felt very uncomfortable because when she sat there, others had to mind her feelings. Therefore she ate a little seafood porridge and left the table.

After the meal, Sally dragged Martin out.

Only Oliver and Jessica were left in the room.

The man looked at Jessica, who was lying on the bed. He twitched his lips and said tonelessly, "Are you coming back to Birmingham with me today?"

Though he was asking her, in fact, he was requiring her to return to Birmingham.

Jessica didn't look at the man, "I'm not going back with you."

"You can't even guarantee your own safety outside. I don't know what else you'll encounter in the future."

Jessica said coldly, "You are pitying me, aren't you? It's ridiculous. What's the difference between what you do and their deeds?"

Oliver frowned and looked bad. He knew that this time he had really broken Jessica's heart and could not refute but turn around and leave.

Outside in the elevator, Sally immediately told Martin that Lambert was coming to Lambola City.

Martin smiled and said, "He is also not afraid of trouble."

"I'll go to the airport to pick him up. Stop him there first."

"You don't need to stop him in person. Ask Oliver to send someone. Don't worry about that."

"Why are you minding my business?"

"Of course, I have to mind your business because you are unique to me. They are all Williams Family members and will solve these problems. It is a rare opportunity for us to return, so we should go to some parties and enjoy ourselves."

"I don't want to go with you. Go yourself."

"I came all the way to Lambola City. You should play a good host and show me around."

"I want to make it clear that you're Oliver's guest, not mine."

After they walked out of the hotel lobby, the parking attendant next to him came over, "Mr. Deerman, the car has already arrived."

Martin walked to a black car and opened the door of the passenger seat. "Miss Saletta, please."
