Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 67



Jessica sat in the interrogation room, and two people came in. They asked her some questions and then one of them said, "You are guilty of intentional injury. Stay here.”

Jessica's eyes were filled with shock.

“What bullshit law is this? Without any evidence, I'm convicted of intentional injury. You gotta be f*cking kidding me.’

"I want a lawyer."

"Shut up.”

Jessica knew that the Zamani's must have asked the police to make things difficult for her. At this moment, she was really a little scared. After all, with their power, they could decide what crime she had committed, and she might have to go to jail. But Jessica forgot one person, her nominal husband.

Lambert and Sally arrived at the police station.

Lambert asked the police to let her go. But the ordinary police didn't have the right. They could only report to deputy director Warren.

Soon, Warren came back from the office with a big smile on his face. "Oh, Mr. Williams, why are you here? Please come to my office.” "Please let Miss White go,” Lambert said to Warren.

"Mr. Williams, come in and have some tea. I'll ask them about the case.” Warren felt a little guilty. Just now, Aaron called and arranged for the police station to interrogate Miss White. Now, Lambert came and asked him to let her go. He was in an embarrassing position now. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two families. He was so anxious that he sweated profusely. He went to the bathroom and called chief Tom for instructions.

"Chief, there's something going on. I need your advice." Warren gave the chief a general description of the matter.

"Who came?" Tom asked.

"That painter.” Warren knew that Lambert was a painter. He often paid attention to the news in Birmingham, and he read about him in the newspaper the other day.

"You comforted him first and said that she would be released later. Ask him to go back first.”

Tom was the one who knew the most about Birmingham's upper-class society. He knew every young master's power in the family very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in the position of chief for decades. He even knew that the two brothers of the Williams Family were not on good terms.

He handled the car accident that year by himself and had inferred that someone deliberately wanted to kill Oliver. In the end, there was no evidence, so he could only end the case in an ordinary car accident. Besides, Lambert's status couldn't be compared to Aaron's. Although he was the eldest young master of the Williams Family, because his mother wasn't the legal wife when she gave birth to him at that time, his identity was a little embarrassing in the Williams Family. Apart from the fact that he was more loved by the master of the Williams Family, he didn't seem to be valued by the others of the Williams Family.

Aaron was different. He was the heir to the Zamani Family.

Although the Zamani Family was not as powerful as the Williams Family, Lambert was the one who stood for the Williams Family. After weighing the pros and cons, they could only make such a compromise.

Warren basically conveyed the director's meaning to Lambert, in a more tactful and acceptable way.

"Mr. Williams, you know that this matter involves the Zamani Family. If we do not handle it well, it will be bad that it may affect the relationship between the Zamani Family and your family. You can go in and see Miss White first. When we get the whole thing clear, we can explain it to you. I guarantee that she will be fine.”

In fact, Lambert was downstairs then. He didn't know what happened between Jessica and Alice, so he agreed with what Warren said and went in to see Jessica.

Jessica didn't expect Lambert to come in, "Lambert, why are you here?" Lambert saw Jessica sitting inside and asked, "Are you okay? I'm really sorry. If I hadn't asked you to go to the exhibition, this wouldn't have happened.”

He felt very guilty. He had somehow caused this, and he didn't expect Jessica and Alice to meet. Although he believed that Jessica was innocent no matter what happened, others wouldn't. After all, it was true that Alice fell from the second floor and was injured.

"It's not your fault. I'm fine. The police will let me go back when they find out the truth. Don't forget that I'm pregnant. They can't do anything to me."

"I've already called a lawyer. He's on the way. Don't worry too much.” "Thank you. It's getting late. You can go back first. And please apologize to Mr. Halper for me, because I'm afraid that I will ruin the opening ceremony of the art exhibition. When I go out, I will apologize to him in person.”

"Don't think too much. When the lawyer comes, we'll figure it out.” When Lambert saw Jessica inside, Sally called Oliver, but no one answered, so she had to send him a message.

Oliver had been extremely busy recently that he had been busy seeing his business partners. He had no time to check his phone and had to put it in the drawer of his office. Because Simon had arranged the schedule in the company for him, anything would only go through Simon first and then Simon would let him know. Otherwise, it would be exhausting for him to deal with everything personally.

When he was about to go home after finishing his work at the company, he opened the drawer and picked up his phone. He saw a page of missed calls from Sally. He wanted to leave them alone, but the text messages were especially scary.

“What? That woman is in the police station?"

Jessica actually told Sally about their relationship. He didn't expect the two of them to go to the point where they share everything.

“What did this stupid woman do to send herself into the police station?" Oliver was quite interested to know about it.

"Simon, drive to the police station,” Oliver ordered.

Simon was a little confused. He didn't know that his creepy boss" wife was going to be put into jail probably.

"Police station? Mr. Williams, you don't have to go to the police station yourself. If you need anything, I'll call Tom."

"No, just drive.”

Simon did not dare to ask more and drove to the police station obediently.

When Oliver arrived, he saw Lambert inside, talking to a man in a dark suit with a briefcase in his hand, who looked like a lawyer.

Lambert also saw him and walked over. "Jessica and Alice had some discord afternoon at the art gallery. The Zamani Family called the police.”

Oliver said coldly, "Why are you here?"

"I was there too, so I followed here."

"Why are you everywhere? Didn't I tell you not to pester my wife?"
