Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

The party had started but Jane hadn't changed her clothes.

Only then did Vivian say, "Miss, don't worry too much. Let me change the clothes for you first. You have to receive the guests outside.”

Yes, she couldn't leave everything to Lucas as she was the hostess of the Youngren family.

But if she appeared in front of the guests, Oliver would know that she was the one who had kidnapped his son.

Otherwise, how could she hold a party in this house?

She told herself to cheer up, whatever happens.

Jane said, "Okay. Let's change my clothes.”

Vivian handed a black dress to her.

Jane had chosen it on purpose.

All the guests were coming to the party for fun.

They didn't know that Jane had always been regretting not to stay by her grandma's side when she passed away.

She gave a premature birth because she was too sad at that time.

By the time the baby had been born, she was kidnapped by someone sent by Marina as soon as she left the hospital.

It was a lifelong regret for her not to say goodbye to her grandma.

That was why she decided to wear a black dress on her last night in Birmingham. She wanted to mourn for all those who had passed away in the Youngren family.

No one would understand what she was doing but that was okay for her. As long as she knew the meaning of all this, everything she did would be worthwhile.

She changed her clothes and put on make-up.

Jane stared at herself in the mirror.

She couldn't help but think of her mother Zelda, who she never had a chance to meet personally. At this moment, she was wondering how she was doing in heaven.

She recalled the happy time she had spent with her grandparents in the Youngren Residence when she was a child. Her eyes were filled with tears.

Vivian came in to remind her again, "Miss, most of the guests are here. Lucas asked you to get ready to give a speech outside later.”

Vivian and Lucas had developed a habit of calling each other by their first names when they were growing up together abroad.

So Vivian always called Lucas by his name.

She never called him young master for the sake of his safety.

Jane replied, "Tell him I'll be right there.”

Lucas had already greeted all the guests just now. Of course, he told them that he was not the host of the party tonight.

And he would invite the host of tonight's party out soon.

Lucas's words made the guests more curious.

They couldn't help but wonder who was it that was holding a party at this villa and did it have anything to do with the previous Youngren family.

Jane came out soon.

The whole hall fell into silence as she came out.

Not until a few seconds later did someone start to applaud.

Then the guests burst into thunderous applause.

Jane attracted everyone's attention with her prominent black dress as soon as she appeared.

She looked so noble and beautiful.

She was also a little surprised by the sudden applause.

Fortunately, she had already experienced many big occasions in Holland.

She managed to calm herself down quickly, even though she had been excited.

She said slowly as she walked up to the stage, "Thank you, everyone, for attending this party here in the Youngren Residence.”

She was recognized by someone as soon as she started to talk. She was the famous artist who held an exhibition at the Jessica Art Gallery in Birmingham days ago.

Some guests began to whisper.

Jane's speech sounded quite official. She thanked everyone for supporting her here despite their busy schedules and also praised the rapid development of Birmingham.

She knew she didn't have to point out that this party was held for the sake of the Youngren family. All the guests here were smart enough to realize that all of this had something to do with the Youngren family.

Someone asked her soon, "Is Miss Kim also from Birmingham? What's your relationship with the Youngren family?"

After a few seconds of consideration, Jane said with a smile, "I'm from the Youngren family and my roots are here in Birmingham. This is the very place where my home is. No one can separate me from my family or my hometown.”

Guests began to applaud again.

They didn't expect that the internationally renowned female artist was from Birmingham. This was the pride of all the people in Birmingham.

While they were still applauding with passion, a path gradually appeared through the crowd.

Jane, who was standing on the stage, saw Oliver walking in immediately.

Her palms became sweaty due to nervousness.

She knew she had to face him.

The applause with other noise in the hall stopped at this moment.

Lucas, who was standing aside, walked to Oliver immediately.

Oliver didn't expect Lucas to be there.

Neither the name of Lucas nor Jane was written on the special invitation that Lucas had made for Oliver.

It only said that he was invited by a mysterious man.

However, the address showed clearly that the party would be held at the Youngren Residence. Oliver was already furious when he saw the signature of "a mysterious man". It seemed to him that someone did not take him seriously.

Who else could this person be except for Jane?

He was outside when Jane appeared.

And heard her speech outside.

Jane sounded pretty much similar to Jessica this time.

He thought it was his illusion.

So he kept listening to her outside. It was when Jane claimed that the Youngren family was her home that he got angry and decided to come in.

He knew that Jane might be Jessica's friend, but she couldn't try to replace Jessica when she's gone. She shouldn't do that to Jessica if she had any respect for their friendship.

What's more, he still remembered that it was also Jane who had taken Roy away secretly.

For the sake of his son's mental health, Oliver did not ask Roy what he had experienced at that time. And he could see that instead of getting psychological trauma, Roy became much more sensible and thoughtful when he returned

It was like he had changed to be another person.

Oliver observed silently without saying anything.

But that didn't mean that he would let Jane get away with this

Whoever dared to use his son to threaten him would sooner or later reap the severe consequences. He didn't take action for the time being.

It was because he was waiting for Jane to give the show away by herself.

He had thought that she wouldn't make a fuss when she got the villa and might just sell it secretly. Never had he expected that she would throw a big party here and even invite him over.

She was humiliating him in front of the upper class in Birmingham by doing this.

He swore to himself that he would give her a hard time tonight.

Jane's face darkened as well.

It seemed that there would be a tough fight between her and Oliver tonight.

But she was no longer afraid of anything, not even death.

She had finished everything she wanted to do concerning the Youngren family.

She was relieved now.
