Simon looked embarrassed. He had always hoped that Jessica would become Mrs. Williams.
He could tell that her boss liked her. Perhaps Oliver had felt too little warmth from the family since he was a child and did not know how to love a woman, which caused the situation today. He was very sad.
"Miss White, this is what Oliver asked me to give you."
Simon handed a document to Jessica. She opened it and looked inside. There were two keys and a black card.
"What does that mean?"
"Here are the keys to the house and car. The house is in Miss Sally's community. When we get back to Birmingham, you can ask Miss Sally to give you a tour. This black card is a credit card without a limited quota. You can buy anything you want."
Jessica sealed the file bag. "Simon, I cannot take credit for what I did not do. Please help me return it."
Since she had already decided to break up with that man, she would cut all ties. She wouldn't take anything from him, and she was never legitimate Mrs. Williams.
"Miss White, you know him well. If I take these back, I might be fired."
Jessica didn't want to make things difficult for Simon. "Okay, then."
When she returned to Birmingham, she had to go to GrandVille Apartments to pack up all her things and ask Tina about everything.
As soon as Simon left, Lambert and Sally came over together.
When Jessica saw them, she finally smiled. "It's over."
"What's over?" Sally asked.
"Oliver and I."
"That's great." Lambert blurted out.
He didn't expect to hear such good news as he had just arrived.
This time, he was ready to fight with Oliver. The bruise on his face had not completely recovered from the last fight between the two of them.
Sally was surprised to hear this news. She didn't expect Oliver to let go of Jessica, which made her confused.
She didn't want to be the third wheel here. "You guys should talk about your business first. Then excuse me."
"I'll call you Mr. Williams from now on." Jessica led Lambert to sit down.
"You can just call me by my name."
"Why did you come here? From now on, I have nothing to do with your Williams Family."
"I came to see you not because I am a member of the Williams Family. We are friends." Lambert looked at Jessica with a burning gaze. "What are your plans for the future?"
"I have to go back to Birmingham first."
"If you divorce Oliver, have you thought about how to explain to grandpa?"
"We don't need to go through the divorce procedures, because Tina's name is on the marriage certificates."
Lambert was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that her marriage to Oliver was so ridiculous. What pleased him was that grandpa would not be able to blame him if he found out about it later.
"That's good."
It was getting dark earlier in the winter than in other seasons.
He didn't eat on the plane, and he was hungry now.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go shopping."
"I don't have much appetite."
"You look so thin now. You should eat more. Let's celebrate tonight. You're finally free."
Apart from feeling relaxed all over, Jessica was not so happy, for there were still a lot of mysteries to solve. She didn't want to celebrate.
Now that Lambert had said it, she didn't want to say anything disappointing.
