Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 166

The car drove into the yard.

Jessica heard someone calling the two women who brought her here just now. They were Amy and Annie.

"Miss White, please get out of the car," said Amy.

She got out of the car and looked around. The yard was very big, but there were few people here.

Amy wanted to help Jessica into the living room. Jessica avoided her outstretched hand and said, "I'm fine, thanks."

The interior of the house was decorated with antiquity, and the room was filled with orchids, which had the elegance of traditional literati.

Jessica guessed that this should be Lambert's residence.

She didn't expect him to be so cunning.

Amy led the way to the bedroom on the first floor. "Miss White, take a rest. Tell me if you need anything. I'm Amy." She said.

Jessica rolled her eyes. "Where's Lambert? Why isn't he here?"

"Miss White, Mr. Williams is in the middle of something. He will come to see you later."

It seemed that she had no intention of letting her go back today.

Jessica was exhausted from taking care of her grandma in the hospital recently. Since she couldn't go anywhere, she lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up, she saw Lambert sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Mr. Williams, since you're back, please take me home," said Jessica, rubbing her hazy eyes.

"Jessica, you can't live alone now. Grandma is in the hospital, and there's no one at home. It's not safe for you to live in that old house. I don't know when Oliver will find you."

"This is my business. You don't have to worry about it. I'm fine."

"For the sake of your baby, you can't live in such a dilapidated place."

Jessica sneered, "It's not your business. We have nothing to do with you."

"If you don't believe the fact that I'm the father, we can do a DNA test," Lambert said.

Jessica's face darkened. "No need. The baby has nothing to do with you. I don't care who the father is."

"I have canceled the lease of the apartment you used to leave. From now on, this will be your home. Just rest assured and take care of yourself. Your things will be delivered to you tomorrow."

Jessica found Lambert so strange. He became someone she didn't know, devoid of gentleness.

"Lambert, you have no right to do that! You have no right to interfere in my life. Are you trying to imprison me?" Jessica walked forward and shouted.

"Get something to eat outside. You've been sleeping all afternoon." Lambert said indifferently as if he completely ignored Jessica's dissatisfaction.

"You can go out first."

Jessica ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

Thinking about what had happened recently, she suddenly realized that it was perhaps Lambert's scheme that Williams Hospital called her to ask her grandmother to go for a checkup and arrange for her to be hospitalized.

Jessica guessed that Lambert was probably going to take her to Hayden's studio. But she didn't think it was suitable for her to be there at this time, and she did not want to trouble those who had helped her a lot.

"You're the president of the Williams Group now. I know you're busy, so don't waste time on me."

"I won't be like Oliver who stays in the company all day. I'll try my best to spend time with you." Lambert looked at Jessica with a gleaming gaze.

Jessica said as her eyes shifted, "I told you. You don't have to compare everything to him."

Lambert's eyes suddenly became very cold. "Are you really in love with Oliver?"

"No... No." Jessica denied directly. She was completely frightened by Lambert's eyes.

"I hope you're not, or you'll regret it. You have no idea how mean he was to you. You almost lost your life to escape him," Lambert said.

He had to reveal Oliver's true colors in front of Jessica, or she would be temporarily confused by his gentleness.

Lambert believed that Jessica's personality had changed drastically during the short period of time when she had lost her memory as if she had been completely brainwashed by Oliver.

Since Oliver could change Jessica's attitude, he didn't care to spend much more time to win her heart.

They used to be very close.

Lambert had planned to give up everything in Birmingham and go abroad with Jessica to start a new life.

However, as he was waiting for Jessica to wake up, Oliver stepped in and completely broke his promise of letting Jessica go.
