Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 173

Lambert didn't seem to have any intention of discussing it with Jessica.

Jessica sat on the bed, trembling all over.

He went out of her room and went to his mother, Vicky, to tell her that he was getting married.

Vicky had just taken a walk in the garden outside. When she heard that Lambert was back, she

immediately returned to the living room.

"Lambert, why are you back?" She said.

"Mother, have a seat first. I have something to tell you." He said solemnly.

She sat down and heard her son say calmly, "I'm going to marry Jessica."

Her face immediately darkened. "I don't agree."

"Mother, this is my business."

"You can't marry a tramp who was abandoned by that woman's son." Vicky said angrily, "That woman

took your father away from me. And now her son abandons that Jessica, but you want to marry

Jessica. I would never allow that."

"Mother, I know that you have been holding a grudge against what happened decades ago. I will fight

for your title. Just agree to my marriage with Jessica."

"I've suffered so much in my life. But I don't care. As long as you live a good life in the Williams Family,

there's still hope." She snorted. "Fortunately, that old man treats you well."

By that, she meant Jeff.

She hated Jeff but didn't dare to show it. It was all because of him that she couldn't legally become

Daniel's wife. She had never forgotten that.

"I know you've been living alone outside for so long because of me. In the future, I'll let you become the

legal Mrs. William of the Williams Family." Lambert really took pity on her mother at this point.

"What's so good about that Jessica? Does she think she can marry into the Williams Family with the

baby in her belly? Not just I won't agree, even that old man won't agree."Her eyes were filled with

contempt.

He then said, "Grandpa has agreed to this."

She said in astonishment, "What? Really?"

Lambert nodded.

She was still unwilling. "Lambert, with your current status, many women want to be your wife. Why did

you have to choose such a woman? You know she's been with Oliver. Are you out of your mind?"

Lambert was really angry at the thought of Oliver.

However, at this point, he must get the woman he liked by all means.

Sometimes people had a kind of obsession. It was not because of how outstanding Jessica was, but

the more Jessica pushed him away, the easier it will be for him to have a desire to possess her.

"I know what I'm doing." He completely ignored his mother's objections.

Vicky sat on the sofa and covered her chest. "Lambert, just listen to me this time. You can't marry that

kind of woman. You're just starting to gain power in the Williams Group now. You need a woman who

can help you in your career. There are so many young ladies from a prominent families in Birmingham.

Don't you like any?"

She listed the number of unmarried young ladies in every prominent family in Birmingham. Each and

every one of them was much better than Jessica, in appearance and wealth.

She used to keep her eyes on the wealthiest families. At that time, Lambert was still an artist and

hadn't entered the Williams Group. She had been looking for help to set up blind dates for Lambert, but

not many of the ladies were willing to marry him.

It was mainly because he was an illegal son and was not be taken seriously in the Williams Family.

However, now that he became the president of the Williams Group at such a young age, those who

used to despise him now wanted to develop a relationship with him through his mother.

With so many candidates, Vicky looked down on Jessica even more.

She had no choice for a moment. She covered her chest with one hand and supported her forehead

with the other. She looked as if she had suffered a great blow and was in pain both physically and

mentally.

Seeing this, Lambert said, "Let me assist you to bed and rest."

He helped his mother to bed and covered the quilt for her.

She lay on her side, turned her head inside, and didn't look at him again.

After telling the news to his mother, Lambert left home and went back to the company.

As soon as he left, Vicky got up from bed and went to find Jessica.

When Jessica heard the knock on the door, she thought that Lambert was back. She opened the door

and saw Vicky.

Vicky walked straight in, then raised her hand to slap Jessica on the face, and scolded, "You b*tch."

Fortunately, Jessica was quick to restrain her hand.

"I don't welcome dogs that bite and bark. Please go out." Jessica glared at her.

"This is my son's home. You have no right to chase me out."

"I think you should have heard that Lambert and I are getting married soon. By then, this will not only

be your son's home, but also mines." Jessica deliberately provoked her. Jessica knew that she never

wanted Jessica to marry her son.

Jessica knew that she could not change Lambert's mind. Only with the help of Vicky, maybe it would

make him call off the wedding.

"You...are so shameless. I know your true color. Don't think that you can take my son away from me

with a few moves to please him."

For some reason, Jessica felt a sense of pity for her. Vicky had made the biggest sacrifice for Lambert.

She loved her son so much, but she had lived apart from him for decades. Now that her son had grown

up, it was even more difficult for her to see her son get married.

"Then just keep your son by your side and don't let other women take him away! If you have that

ability."

"Jessica, I won't let you go."

Vicky saw that she couldn't beat Jessica in this argument. She slammed the door and went back.

Jessica was also restless. She never wanted to marry Lambert. She had to find a way to stop him. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She couldn't stay in this yard all the time. She had to find a way out to get help.

Jessica thought of David's business card. At that time, she thought that she would definitely not ask

him for help, but now he was her only hope in such a situation.

There were some things that couldn't say on the phone and could not be explained clearly. And she

also worried others would find out.

If she wanted to go out, the best excuse now was that she wanted to go to the hospital to see her

grandma.

In the evening, Jessica went to Lambert's study.

When he saw Jessica here, he was very happy. He thought that she agreed to marry him and said,

"What do you think about the wedding?"
