Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 137

Oliver saw Jessica looking at him in a daze and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Thank you." Jessica smiled and said, "I'll bring you a night meal."

Jessica walked down the stairs lightly. She felt like a weight had been suddenly lifted off her shoulders.

She was so relieved that even if she went up and down the stairs twice, she didn't feel tired at all. She

regarded it as exercise.

That night, Jessica slept soundly without having a dream.

In the morning, Winnie received a call from the Old Residence of the Williams family.

Jessica happened to be sitting in the living room.

She heard that they were probably talking about going to the Old Residence for a family banquet on

New Year's Eve.

In the end, Winnie said, "Do you want Mrs. Williams to answer the phone?"

However, before Jessica could hear what was said on the other end, Winnie hang up.

"Who was it? What was the matter?" Jessica asked.

"Mrs., it was the housekeeper of the Old Residence. He asked me to tell Mr. Oliver that the whole

Williams family would go back to the Old Residence for the family banquet on New Year's Eve," Winnie

told her frankly.

Jessica knew that the housekeeper only asked Oliver to attend the family banquet and did not mention

her.

She was the mistress of the house, but the housekeeper of the Old Residence called and didn't even

mention her name.

Normally, Winnie would ask her to answer the call from the Old Residence.

She wondered whether it was because Oliver and his grandpa couldn't get along again.

Anyway, she couldn't figure it out and didn't want to bother herself, so she went to the study to draw.

In addition to Oliver in GrandVille Apartments, Tina also received a call and was invited to the family

dinner at the Old Residence. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

After Tina hung up the phone, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. Her efforts paid off.

Oliver had isolated her backyard, even threatened her, and forbidden her to go out. Even if she said

she was pregnant with Oliver's baby, it couldn't stop Simon from giving her a stern warning.

It seemed that it was really difficult to separate Oliver and Jessica this time.

Tina asked Marina to think of a way, and in the end, she used her last trump card, Jeff.

Anyway, Jeff was the head of the Williams family.

Jessica was dispensable to all the others of the Williams family, except to Oliver, who would defend

her.

Moreover, Lambert had the same goal as her.

Toby and Marina hit it off and they let Jeff know the matter. With Toby fanning the flames, Tina was now

invited to the family dinner, which would make things even worse.

Jessica thought for a while. Whether she went to the family banquet or not, Oliver would go. Last time,

Jeff came to see her and brought her a gift.

If Oliver went there, he had to bring a gift.

In the afternoon, Jessica planned to go shopping and chose some gifts. Oliver would inevitably meet

his relatives in the Old Residence.

She really didn't know what the Williams family liked. When she arrived at the shops on both sides of

the street, she stopped outside a tea shop.

She bought some Pu'er tea cakes. He could then give them to his relatives and friends.

Oliver came back in the evening and he noticed that Jessica was packing things in the study.

"What are these?" He asked.

Jessica smiled and said, "There was a call from the Old Residence today. You're invited to attend a

family banquet on New Year's Eve. I went to buy some Pu'er tea in the afternoon. But the wrappers

were so ordinary, so I wrapped them with extra beautiful wrappers so that everyone would be happy to

open the presents."

Oliver said, "Just let others do these things."

"Well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I went to buy them."

Oliver said, "I've already decided that we're going to Europe for vacation on New Year's Eve."

"What about the family banquet?" Jessica was a little worried because there seemed to be something

wrong between Oliver and his grandfather recently. She had hoped that the family banquet would be an

opportunity for them to ease their tensions.

Otherwise, she wouldn't go out specifically to pick gifts for the Williams family.

Oliver said, "I'll deal with it."

After he finished speaking, he went downstairs and asked Winnie about the phone call from the Old

Residence.

Winnie said, "It was me who answered the phone. The housekeeper just wanted me to tell you to go to

the family banquet."

"Didn't he mention Mrs. Williams?"

"No, Mrs. was there too. I asked if Mrs. would answer the phone. He said no, and just let me tell you."

New Year's Eve came soon.

Oliver took Jessica to the Old Residence of the Williams family.

When Jessica arrived, she took Oliver to see his grandfather.

Jeff was talking to Lambert.

"Grandpa," Jessica said with a smile. Then she tugged at Oliver's clothes to remind him to greet his

grandpa and brother.

Oliver called out indifferently, "Grandpa."

Jessica handed over the tea she had prepared, "Grandpa, Oliver bought some tea for you."

Jeff nodded coldly and continued to talk to Lambert. The servant next to him quickly went up and took

the gift from Jessica.

Oliver's face darkened. Just as he was about to explode, Jessica pulled him aside.

"What are you going to do? Grandpa was talking to your brother just now. We just came at the wrong

time. Don't be a killjoy on New Year's Eve!"

The people from the Williams family came intermittently. Jessica didn't know them and only nodded and

smiled.

Then, among a large group of strangers, she saw a few familiar faces.

They were Jason, Marina, and Tina.

Jessica was stunned. She hadn't expected the Williams family would invite the White family to their

family banquet, and she didn't know anything about it.

She glanced at Oliver, whose eyes were burning with anger.

Jessica stepped forward and asked Jason, "Dad, why are you here?"

Jason looked at Oliver with a titter on his face and said, "Mr. Williams suddenly asked us to come over

for the New Year's Eve dinner, and I didn't have time to tell you."

Jessica said, "Since grandpa asked you to come, let's do as he wants."

Oliver wanted to take Jessica away directly. But Jessica said, "It's just a dinner. After that, we can have

a good sleep on the plane. Just think about the holiday starting tomorrow. Don't be unhappy with

insignificant things."

Only when Oliver arrived did he know that the banquet tonight was organized for a special purpose. If

he knew that Jeff made such an arrangement, he would never let Jessica come here to be humiliated.

When it was time to have dinner, the White family sat next to Jessica and Oliver.

At least, they seemed to be in a harmonious relationship, as if the Williams family had invited the White

family to dinner in the name of Jessica.

Although Jessica was uncomfortable, she couldn't do anything now.

Fortunately, she did not know the purpose of all these arrangements.

During the meal, Toby deliberately said, "This year's family banquet is more lively because of the White

family."
