Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 323

"Your phone keeps ringing. Why don't you answer it?" Marina said impatiently.

"I don't think it's something important. Anyway, nothing is more important than Mr. Weaver at this point.

You can't be so rude."

Luk listened to the conversation between Marina and Jason with a smile. It seemed that he was a

sophisticated and successful person.

Marina still cared a lot about the phone call, "It must be something related to the company. Otherwise,

there won't be consistent calls. If you don't think it's appropriate to answer it now, then give it to me."

As she spoke, she was about to get Jason's phone.

Jason was terrified that Flora would blurt out and say something inappropriate.

He could not endure the results of offending Marina at this point.

Jason said, "Mr. Weaver, I'm really sorry. I'll need to excuse myself for a moment and go out to answer

the phone. My wife also wants to know more about the investment regarding the ore. Please present

more information to her."

After saying that, he hinted at Luk and asked him to play his role well.

Jason answered the phone and walked away.

Marina didn't behave herself anymore, and her voice rose a lot. "Luk, what the hell is going on? Why

are you here? This is a fraud aiming for Jason's money, right?"

"I had really worked at a multinational company, and I even gave Jason a project to do."

Marina still couldn't believe what Luk said.

He had neither education credential nor work experience, what kind of multinational company would

hire him and send him back to Birmingham as their representative?

"Then what about investment in the ore? Where did Jason's money go? Why did you agree with Jason

to together commit the fraud against me? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier that the

person who could help us Jason was talking about was you, I wouldn't have given my money to Jason

to fill in the company's loopholes."

Marina was irritated and she asked a lot of questions.

She had a hunch that she probably had lost her money already.

Since Jason could lie to her that the money had been invested in the ore project, then other things he

had told her could also be lies.

"Don't get frustrated. I'm back. If anything happens, I'll help you." Luk comforted Marina. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"What can you do? Do you think I don't know about your capability? Stop acting like a successful

person as you did in front of Jason. Now that you come to us directly, are you not afraid that Jason will

find out the truth? If that's the case, things will be out of our control completely."

After all, Marina was also guilty. She had lied to Jason for decades.

If Jason found out that Tina was not his biological daughter, how would things end up? She had not

asked for her money back yet, so she must prevent Jason to have any further interaction with Luk.

"I came back this time for you and our daughter, I had made a fresh start and started to work hard.

From now on, both of you can rely on me."

Ever since Luk became the representative of the multinational company and was dressed in a suit, he

was indeed a little arrogant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Tina and I won't live with you. Don't disturb our quiet life

anymore. As long as you leave now, I can deal with Jason. I want him to give my money back as soon

as possible."

Marina was worried that if Jason found out the truth before he gave back her money, Jason would

definitely keep the money himself.

He would hate them so much that he would definitely not return the money to them.

No matter what happened next, Marina just wanted to transfer the money back to her private account.

Before that, she didn't want any unexpected things to happen.

She was talking to Luk agitatedly when she saw Jason walking back after hanging up the phone.

Marina had to drink some water to calm herself down quickly.

She didn't want to sit here and wasted her time anymore.

She just wanted to go home and sell or pawn the "Fox Mountain Residence" that Jason gave her.

Any antique calligraphy or paintings could not compare to her account balance in her opinions.

Marina hinted at Luk and asked him to end the coordinated acting between him and Jason in front of

her.

Luk said, "Mr. White, I have another appointment, so I have to go first. If there's anything else you want

to discuss, you can contact me later."

After saying that, Luk left.

As he walked by the bar, he glanced at Jane, who was sitting there drinking.

Jane nodded at him.

Luk got nervous by her look and started to walk with his stiff limbs.

As soon as Marina got home, she took the painting out of the safe.

She needed to find someone that was familiar with selling calligraphy and paintings to estimate the

price.

Someone wanted to sell the "Fox Mountain Residence." This news attracted many collectors as soon

as it came out.

After this painting was bought by a mysterious collector in the early years, there was no more news of

this painting on the market.

Even then, when Oliver opened a hotel in the Fox Mountain, someone suggested that if the Williams

Group could get the "Fox Mountain Residence", it would definitely improve their hotel's brand.

The Williams Group actually sent people to look for this painting, but they never found out who the

collector of this painting was.

Marina took out the painting without telling Jason that she wanted to sell it.

Jason had given the painting to Marina previously to ask her to take out her money quickly to help

resolve the urgent problem.

He didn't expect Marina would actually sell this painting.

When he heard the news, almost all the collectors were talking about this painting, guessing who would

be the next collect that owned it.

Marina handed the work to an auction company that she knew and was ready for an open auction.

The person who offered the highest price would get the painting.

That's why they released the news early, making the "Fox Mountain residence" the hottest topic.

When Jason heard the news, he went home and quarreled with Marina. He scolded her for not letting

him know before taking out the painting for sale.

Marina was also angry. He and Luk had lied to her together, but she hadn't settled this with him yet.

Mainly because she needed to hide her relationship with Luk, if it was exposed, it would not end well

for the time being.

Marina would not be afraid of anything when she got the money.

Now, it was the critical moment. And in order to sell the painting smoothly, she had to bear with him.

Marina said, "I'm just taking out the painting to see how much it is worthed. Don't worry, no one will be

willing to pay an extraordinarily high price for a painting. Besides, if it really bid to an extremely high

price, not to mention that you want to invest in ores, even if you want to invest in an alien planet, I will

support you."
