Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 474

Simon brought Marina and Jason to GrandVille Apartments, where Tina used to live.

This made Marina somehow relieved.

Maybe Oliver just asked them to come and sort out Tina's belongings.

Maybe she thought too much about this.

Marina and Jason had no courage to make a rash move. They decided to wait until Oliver came and

asked them to sort out the things.

While they were waiting, they couldn't help feeling anxious.

It was mainly because they had no idea why Oliver asked them to come.

Marina was feeling uneasy and she stood up to look around.

As soon as she got up, she heard the servants talking outside. No doubt they must be greeting Oliver.

Marina sat back immediately.

It was indeed Oliver who walked inside.

Jason and Marina stood up at the same time and greeted him, "Mr. Williams."

Oliver motioned for them to have a seat.

Seeing this, Marina and Jason sat down.

"Was Roy all right?" Marina asked.

No matter what had happened, she was still Roy's grandmother. When Tina had just passed away,

Marina knew that Roy was sick but she didn't ask about his situation in detail.

Now that she came to GrandVille Apartments in person, she had to express her concern for the

situation of Roy.

Otherwise, Oliver might feel suspicious about her.

Oliver replied, "He's fine. I'm here to ask you something related to Roy."

Marina's heart thumped.

She knew that something was wrong.

Jason noticed that the expression on Marina's face changed and that she was about to lose control.

How could she resist Oliver's questioning?

Jason then held Marina up and said, "We also worry a lot about Roy's condition but we don't get the

chance to ask because we were busy with other things. Marina had been sad after the death of Tina.

She couldn't eat or sleep and kept crying. As a result, she is in poor health."

No matter what, Jason had to find an excuse for the reaction of Marina.

He tried to show Oliver that Marina was not frightened by his words.

Instead, she behaved differently because of the sadness of losing her own daughter and poor physical

condition.

Oliver didn't care about what exactly had happened to Marina and Jason.

The reason why he called Marina and Jason to GrandVille Apartments was to help them recall

something important.

When Tina was pregnant, Marina often came here to visit.

If Marina said she knew nothing about this, then it would not make sense.

"How much do you know about the umbilical cord blood that Tina stored?"

Oliver looked at Marina and asked.

Marina's heart fluttered with fear.

Since last time she said she knew nothing about this, then this time she had to talk in a consistent way.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Marina said, "Mr. Williams, I really don't know much about it. I

thought that since Tina stayed in Williams Hospital, there was no need for me to worry. Tina also said

everything was fine."

Jason noticed that Marina was not completely frightened by Oliver's imposing manner and could

answer his questions with a clear logic.

Jason heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought that Oliver would be convinced.

After hearing what Marina said, Oliver sneered.

Noticing the sneer of Oliver, Marina and Jason, who had just relaxed a bit, started to feel nervous Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

again.

"Is it true that you know nothing about this?" Oliver asked again.

Marina had no idea how to respond.

If she insisted that she knew nothing about this, then once Oliver found a clue, what she had said

before would be regarded as unreliable.

In that case, Oliver could tell that she was lying.

Marina did not dare to insist on what she had said. "I remember that Tina told me about the use of

umbilical cord blood and I even encouraged her to keep it. I told her that it would be a life-saving thing."

Marina started to say something irrelevant.

She was afraid that Oliver would find a clue later on. That's why she said she did know something

about it.

And that meant she was not completely uninformed about what Tina did.

In this way, no matter how things went on, a leeway was allowed.

After all, Marina did accompany Tina to ask about something related to the storage of umbilical cord

blood.

Although it cost a great deal, fundamentally it was Oliver who paid for this.

As long as it could be of some use, Tina would not let it go.

At that time, Marina even blamed Tina for wasting money.

Marina told her that it was nothing but an illusory hope and that most of the people would never need it

for the rest of their lives.

Tina did not take the words of Marina into consideration and she signed the document of preserving the

umbilical cord blood.

Marina was afraid that Oliver might check the video. In that case, he would know that she was not

completely unaware of this.

If Oliver managed to have the complete evidence, she would have to find excuses such as insomnia

and memory loss because of aging. These could then help explain why she failed to remember things

clearly.

Whether Oliver believed it or not, Marina had to keep talking.

The truth was that Oliver was not concerned about the umbilical cord blood that Tina stored. Instead,

he wanted to know who it belonged to and why it was related to Roy.

Oliver asked, "Didn't you say you had no idea about this?"

"I don't know what exactly had happened to Tina when she gave birth. I was eager to see the baby and

I didn't pay attention to anything else."

Marina said.

"Where were you when Jessica gave birth?" Oliver asked.

Hearing this, both Marina and Jason felt uneasy.

Their backs began to sweat.

Soon, there was sweat on their foreheads.

It was obvious that both of them were nervous.

Marina's mind was in a mess.

In fact, she had already prepared a draft in advance about what to say if Oliver asked her about

Jessica.

However, when asked by Oliver, Marina couldn't help feeling panicked.

This time, it was Jason who started to talk first and this allowed Marina some time to calm down.

Jason said, "The day that Jessica gave birth happened to be the day of her grandmother's funeral.

Marina and I were at the funeral and we didn't know the situation of Jessica. When Tina was about to

give birth, she called Marina and then Marina rushed to the hospital."

Marina added, "Many things happened at that time and I was a little muddled."

"I knew that Jessica also gave birth in Williams Hospital. But I was busy taking care of Tina. Before I

could visit, Jessica had already left the hospital."

What she meant was that since Jessica gave birth to a child in Williams Hospital, then Oliver should be

the one who knew more about the situation.

If something wrong did happen in Williams Hospital, then Oliver should be the one who took the

responsibility since he was the one in control of the property.

Oliver carefully recalled what had happened that day.

He did hear that Jessica was going to give birth.

However, Jessica was going to give birth to the child of Lambert.

The only thing he could do for her and the baby was to be completely indifferent.

In view of the things that Lambert and his mother had done to him and his own mother, Oliver

absolutely didn't want the child of Lambert to be born alive.

The only reason he allowed the birth of that child was Jessica.
