Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Oliver asked Simon to find Marina.

Since Tina died, Marina and Jason had gone to the suburbs and temporarily settled down in a farmer's house.

Now they had nothing.

Of course, they had some money left by Tina, which could keep them alive for a while.

However, it was completely impossible for them to go back to the old life.

After what had happened, Marina and Jason decided to hide for the time being.

They were constrained in all aspects now, and they didn't dare to meet Jane.

They were also afraid of meeting Oliver.

Marina started to feel bad when Oliver asked her about the umbilical cord blood.

Perhaps Oliver had already suspected Roy's background.

She wanted to hide and then inquire about if Oliver already knew something.

If he didn't, they would still have some freedom.

If Oliver found out, she and Jason probably wouldn't be able to live free for long.

Therefore, they hid in the countryside and didn't show up.

Marina had been staying at home all the time, while Jason continued to do some garbage collection work to make ends meet.

One day, Marina was busy killing chickens at home to prepare a good meal.

She sent Jason out to buy some mushrooms and planned to make stewed chicken with mushroom . As soon as Jason left the house, someone knocked on the door.

Marina cursed. "You always forget to bring the key when you go out. I just reminded you, but you forgot again.”

When she opened the door, she was stunned.

It was not Jason who stood in front of her, but Simon.

Simon noticed Marina scared expression.

After a few seconds, Marina forced a smile and said, "Simon, how did you get here? It's not convenient for us to receive guests. What are you coming for?"

When Marina saw Simon, she knew that she was doomed.

One can seldom avoid what he was most afraid of.

She wanted to stay far away from Oliver, but she was still found by his people.

Marina was clearly asking Simon to leave and didn't want to be questioned by him.

Her words had no effect on Simon at all.

He didn't care whether she's polite.

He had to do what Oliver had told him.

Simon walked straight to the yard.

He could tell that Marina was killing a chicken before he came.

He released a sigh.

In the past, there were always several servants in the White family..

Now Marina had learned to do these things herself.

She was very adaptable.

Maybe it had something to do with her background.

She had been born in a poor family, now she returned to her original place after experiencing a luxurious life.

Simon said, "Mr. Williams asked me to take you to him. He wants to ask some questions.”

"What does Mr. Williams want to ask? Just call me directly. Why you bothered to visit me in person.” Marina said.

She just wanted to avoid meeting Oliver.

If she answered on the phone, Oliver couldn't see her expression.

She couldn't see Oliver's expression either, so she could lie.

If she was brought over and answered in front of Oliver, she was really afraid that Oliver would find something wrong.

Marina, who was already dozens of years old and experienced all kinds of things, was also afraid of Oliver's stare just as her daughter did.

"No bother. I don't dare to neglect what Mr. Williams asked me to do.” Simon said.

Marina stammered. "Can you tell me what Mr. Williams wants to ask me first?"

She wanted to get some information from Simon.

So that she could be prepared in advance, in case she was too scared and guilty and told him everything.

Last time, Jason said that she overreacted and Oliver should have found nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let them go.

So, Marina felt that Simon must know what Oliver wanted to ask her.

But Simon said, "I don't know. You'll naturally know when you see him in person.”

Marina failed to get any useful information from Simon. Now she felt that she was not sober, she definitely couldn't go there alone.

"I want to wait for Jason to come back, and then we will go to see Mr. Williams. Look, why don't you go back first? I don't know when would Jason be back yet."

Marina said.

She wanted to buy some time, even a short while.

In this way, she could also discuss a strategy with Jason.

Unexpectedly, Simon said, "Don't worry. Continue your work. I'll ask someone to get Jason back.” Obviously, Simon won't give them a chance to discuss.

Marina started to feel extremely anxious.

She was anxious and hoped that Jason would not be found by the people Simon sent.

But soon, Simon received a call saying that he had found Jason.

Marina heard it from the side.

Her hand that was plucking the chicken feathers was suddenly pricked.

The blood on her hand mixed with the chicken blood in the basin.

She stood up in fear and went back to her room to find a cloth to bandage it.

Today was really an unlucky day.

Marina only hoped that he won't ask about Roy's mother.

If Oliver knew about the truth, she really didn't know if she could come back alive.

Soon, Jason was brought back by Simon's men.

Marina said to Simon, "We have to change our clothes. We have to wear something decent to visit Mr. Williams."

Simon was not unreasonable. He nodded, “Go, hurry up.”

Marina and Jason entered the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Marina grabbed Jason's hand and whispered, "It's over. Oliver wanted to see us now. We're going to die.”

Jason clenched Marina's hand. "Don't panic. We don't know what Oliver is going to ask. Maybe he wants to offer a peaceful life for Tina's sake.”

"Stop dreaming and think of a solution.”

"Just say you don't know anything. Anyway, Tina is gone, and Oliver won't do anything to you.” Jason said.

"Are you serious? If Oliver had been so easy to fool, we wouldn't have spent so much effort back then. At that time, we had all favorable conditions, that's why we succeeded. What should we do? We have nothing now."

"You pretended not to know anything from the beginning. If you failed, just say that everything was arranged by Tina and you don't know the details.”

After Jason finished speaking, he prayed in his heart that his daughter would not blame him.

He just wanted to keep Marina out of trouble.

Marina really couldn't find a suitable excuse. Now she only hoped that Oliver had come to them for something else.

She also only begged for God's mercy.
