Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 57

The next day.

Oliver was called to the Williams Family mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw Jeff sitting in a wooden armchair with his eyes closed. When

Jeff heard the noise, he opened his eyes.

Oliver greeted him, "Grandpa."

The old man's voice was hoarse and cold. "Sit down."

"Grandpa, you said that I must come here. What's the matter?"

Seeing that Oliver was so indifferent, the old man was angry and he pounded the crutch in his hand.

"You just became the president. How did you dare to drive your uncle away? I didn't say anything

because you had to establish your prestige in the group, but how can you offend the Zamani Group?

You hit Henry's most precious grandson and even want the land of the Zamani Family. Do you have

any idea what you're doing?"

"Grandpa, uncle made a mistake. He deserved all those punishments. It was the same with the Zamani

Family."

"Henry called me early in the morning and said that you almost beat Aaron to death. What was going

on?"

"He won't die, so you don't need to worry."

"How can I not worry? Do you still have a grudge against the Zamani Family? When you had that car

accident, the Zamani Family broke off the engagement with you. At that time, I agreed directly to it in

order not to offend them. Later on, when you were going to get married, I found the White Family for

you. They were humble."

Jeff was a little excited. He coughed a few times and continued, "But you never tell me the truth. How

could I know that your legs are almost healed? Otherwise, I wouldn't let you marry the daughter from

the White Family."

Oliver said, "No matter whether she comes from the White Family or the Zamani Family, once I married

her, she is my wife."

"I'm glad to see that you two are in a good relationship. I feel sad when I think of your parents."

Daniel and Maggie's relationship had not been good since they got married. Everyone in the Williams

Family knew these things, and Jeff knew them best.

If it weren't for the fact that the two families arranged a marriage for them, his mother wouldn't have

fallen in love with his father and then died.

Oliver frowned. "Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"You'd better apologize today. In the future, you must remember that there are always opportunities for

cooperation when it comes to business. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish."

"Grandpa, I'll see to it. You don't have to worry about it."

Jeff sat up straight with a cane in one hand. His other hand trembled. "Fine. Don't be too rash in the

future, or you'll suffer losses."

Oliver left the mansion and sat in a black Bentley. The driver was Simon. When he saw Oliver's solemn

expression, he knew that he didn't have a pleasant conversation with his grandfather. Simon knew that

every time the president would wear a solemn expression after seeing the old master of the Williams

Family, so Simon did not dare to speak much.

Oliver rubbed his temples and leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed. "Simon, what's going on

with the Zamani Family?"

"Aaron is fine. He's staying in the hospital to rest. Although he's in the hospital, he's quite busy. The

Zamani Group bought iron ore in Australia a few years ago, but it was a wrong investment. Now there's

a serious financial problem, so they are trying to sell the land to solve the problem. If..."

Simon began to hesitate.

"If what?"

"If, if you hadn't beaten him up, the contract for selling the land would have been signed."

"He deserves it."

"Then... What about that piece of land? If they sell it to someone else who won't sell the land again, the

progress of the new development plan will be affected. There will be a board meeting later. Perhaps,

some people will say something unpleasant then."

"I have my own plans for the land. This is a good opportunity. There are some wily men hiding behind.

Once there is a sign of trouble, they can't remain calm and want to make some moves. How can I catch

those people with ulterior motives if they do nothing?" Oliver said proudly, "It was because Aaron knew

our development plan that he deliberately caused trouble. There must be a traitor in the group who

leaked the news, and I can take this opportunity to trace the traitor this time."

Oliver went to the Williams Group and took a break. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was only two

minutes before ten o'clock. He took his time to walk to the conference room.

When he was in the corridor, he could hear the voices of discussion inside the room.

As soon as Oliver appeared at the door of the conference room, the people inside immediately became

silent.

The main topic of discussion at this meeting was the land of the Zamani Family. The Williams Group

almost got the land, but because of Oliver's kick, the land was lost, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction

among the directors.

"Mr. Williams, why did you and Mr. Zamani have a conflict at this point? Can you explain it to us?"

Oliver flashed an icy glance at the conference room and said, "No."

His words made many directors even more dissatisfied. They whispered that Oliver was so arrogant

and he didn't take those directors who had made great contributions to the Williams Group seriously.

The atmosphere in the conference room crackled with tension as the whispering grew louder.

Some of them began to stand up and criticize Oliver.

Oliver still sat in his chair and watched how they behaved.

When they finished arguing, the meeting was over.

The directors walked out of the conference room, discussing.

"Sooner or later, the Williams Group will be destroyed by him."

"How could such an unreliable man be in charge of the Williams Group? Why didn't Lambert come

today?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"We'll have a hard time in the future."

Jessica went to another department in the morning to hand over the work. As soon as she came out,

she met these people coming out of the conference room. They were all talking. After listening to them

casually, she knew that it had something to do with Oliver.

Jasmine was in charge of the reception for today's board meeting. When Jessica returned to the office,

she took Jasmine to the pantry room and asked what happened during the meeting.

Jasmine told her that in the conference room, the board of directors were all opposed to Oliver.

The smile on Jessica's face immediately disappeared. "Why?"

Jasmine took Oliver's side. "Because they accused Mr. Williams of losing a piece of land and affecting

the new development plan. However, I think Mr. Williams always has a good plan of his own."

When Jessica heard this, she knew that it was because of her. If it weren't for her, Oliver wouldn't have

beaten up Aaron. But she shouldn't be the one to be blamed. It was Aaron that offended her first.

However, because of her appearance, Oliver lost the chance to buy the land. The Zamani Family

wouldn't give up that easily this time. Jessica felt quite guilty.
