Chapter 19
Marina widened her eyes and looked at Jessica. "Why? Vincent regretted it?"
"No, Mom. I saw Oliver.” Tina's mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to say it.
"No hurry. Have some water and tell me slowly.”
Jessica told Marina about seeing Oliver at the entrance of the Williams Group.
Marina also opened her mouth in disbelief.
"I've been reading the financial section on the newspaper recently, but it hasn't mentioned anything about Oliver,” Marina said.
"The Williams Group has invested in all the major media organizations. Oliver's information rarely appears on the news. His information has always been very confidential. Only a small circle of people in the upper class knows a little. It's difficult for us to know the real situation.”
"The wedding date with the Garner Family is coming up. What are you going to do?"
"I want to postpone the wedding with Vincent. He didn't want to get married so soon anyway. I was the one who kept urging him."
"Okay. We'll figure it out slowly.”
Tina could not accept that she had given Oliver to Jessica for nothing. After all, they had just gotten married, and they should not have any feelings. She should still have time to start planning now. Just like before, Vincent had always wanted to marry Jessica, but he was still easily hooked up by her.
“Men are all the same.”
Tina thought that she was no longer an ugly duckling when she was a child. After spending so much money on the White Family these years, she thought her temperament and taste had long surpassed Jessica's. The biggest problem now was that Oliver liked Jessica a lot. Oliver not only helped cure her grandma's illness but also raised her as a noble woman. How could she make a rift between the two of them?
Jessica didn't know it was arranged by Oliver that the money for her grandma's medical charges hadn't been transferred yet. She didn't want to owe him money. Besides, she had money now.
Just as Jessica was waiting for the elevator, she met Oliver and his subordinates coming out. She greeted them and Oliver nodded in response.
This man was overbearing and sometimes not so bad. Her impression of the man changed constantly during the day, and Jessica could not see which one was the real him.
As soon as Jessica got off work, she went back to the GrandVille Apartments.
She ate dinner alone, but she had a good appetite. After finishing, she felt stuffed and walked alone in the garden.
After she moved in, she only strolled around the small garden in front of the main building a few times. Suddenly, she wanted to take a look around the whole of GrandVille Apartments.
There was also an artificial lake in the GrandVille Apartments. The lake water was clear. The setting sun shone on the lake, and the scenery at dusk was breathtaking.
Jessica walked along the lake, feeling her vision wider. There was a large garden ahead, which was full of beautiful hibiscus flowers.
The hibiscus flower was also called rosa-sinensis. She had seen the sentence in the book "Compendium of Materia Medica, "rosa-sinensis grows in the south, and it is a kind of hibiscus.”
Jessica walked in and saw Nanny Daisy digging in the garden. "Madam, why are you here?" Nanny Daisy asked quickly when she saw Jessica.
"I came out for a walk. I came over to take a look at the beautiful flower. What are you doing?"
"Young master asked me to add new plants. It rained a few days ago and the soil was full of rain, so I come to plant the flower seedlings today.”
She didn't expect that Oliver even cared about the little matter of planting flowers.
"Does he like hibiscus flowers very much?" Speaking of which, she realized that she knew very little about Oliver.
"The hibiscus flower is the flower that young master's deceased mother liked."
"I'm sorry to hear that.”
"Madam, to be honest, young master is not a bad person. I watched him grow up.” Nanny Daisy sighed as she spoke.
From Nanny Daisy's few words, it could be seen that she loved Oliver very much.
Nanny Daisy was the first person who treated Jessica kindly in this family, so she was grateful.
But she knew that she didn't need to know too much about Oliver. Anyway, the less she knew, the safer she was.
If Oliver knew that she was asking about him behind his back again, though she did not mean it, he would be rude to her. She had already suffered this kind of pain once.
"Daisy, I'm going back first.”
In the evening, Oliver arrived home.
Jessica took the bowl of soup from Daisy and sent it to the study. Oliver looked at her hesitant expression and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"The money on the card for my grandma's hospitalization fees hasn't been deducted yet. I'll pay for grandma's expenses myself. You can feel free to take the money.”
Oliver didn't know that Jessica had asked for so much money from the White Family. He sneered, "With your salary, even if you keep working for the rest of your life, you can't afford it."
"Even if I have to keep working for the rest of my life, I don't want to owe you this favor. There's some money on my grandma's hospital card. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it myself.”
This woman was really ready to leave at any time.
"You don't think I ask the hospital not to charge for your grandma's hospitalization fees, do you? You're so naive. Williams Hospital is not a charity. Is it possible that it only provides the best medical service for patients but doesn't charge? You're just in the name of Mrs. Williams. Do you really think of yourself as the hostess of the Williams Group?" Jessica's face turned red and her chest was heaving.
Usually, it was the nurse, who dealt with her grandma's affairs in the hospital. She didn't know the situation clearly. But after hearing Tina's words, she believed her and thought that her nominal husband should be a great man. However, she thought too much.
"I see.” She said with an awkward smile.
After Jessica left the study, Oliver immediately called Simon.
Simon answered the call and heard the scolding from the other end. "Who told you not to charge that woman for the hospitalization fees?" He didn't understand what Oliver was talking about at first, but after being with Oliver for so long, he naturally knew that the only person who could make him so angry now was Mrs. Williams.
Simon was afraid that he would misunderstand what Oliver meant. He said in fear, "Shall I ask the hospital to treat madam's family as a nobody?"
"What does that woman's family have to do with me? Charge her as usual. I'll see how much she can afford.”
