Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 147

Ian asked, "Who did you offend?"

Jessica shook her head. She really didn't know.

Ian felt that she was wary of him, so he said, "Miss, do you still think I'm a bad person? Time is very

precious. I have saved you and sent you back to the hotel myself."

Jessica was a little embarrassed. "No, you misunderstood. I don't know why this happened, so I want

to find him as soon as possible."

She was referring to Oliver.

Based on the hotel room they were staying in, coupled with their previous contact, Ian knew that they

were either rich or respectable. Perhaps their ancestors had offended a lot of people, and now they

were hunted for revenge.

Because he had some experience.

He said to Jessica, "You'd better not live here today. I'm afraid it's not safe if you go out."

Jessica knew that all the bodyguards here had also withdrawn. She had no clue where Oliver had

gone.

She thought she should contact David, Oliver's lawyer to see if he had any news.

Instead of overthinking, she thought she'd better ask him. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She rummaged through the business card that David had left that day, picked up the phone in the living

room, and called it. It was immediately connected.

"Mr. David? I'm Jessica."

A voice came from the other end and said, "Hello, Mrs. Williams. Is there anything I can help with?"

"Have you heard from Oliver?"

He knew that something went wrong in the company that day, and then the technical loopholes were

quickly fixed, but he knew nothing about what happened to Oliver.

"Isn't Mr. Williams with you?" He asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?"

As Oliver's lawyer, David was trustable to her. So she told him about the shooting last night.

Jessica asked, "Can you help me find him?"

David went to other European countries on business and could not return to Amsterdam until the next

day.

"Okay, I'll get someone to look for him now. I'll talk to you face to face when I get back tomorrow."

Jessica hung up the phone with a disappointed look.

When she saw Lucas sitting there, she remembered to pay back the medical expenses he had paid

and tips for sending her back.

She went to her room and took out 2000 euros from her purse.

"Ian, thank you for sending me to the hospital and back to the hotel," said Jessica, handing the money

to Lucas.

Ian reached out and took the money. "I didn't expect you to learn the rules of Holland so quickly. Good,

let's go Dutch."

Go Dutch meant to split the bill, or in writing, in the Dutch way.

Paying separately was a kind of custom here.

Ian didn't seem to want to leave after receiving the money.

Jessica said directly, "Ian, thanks for your time. Maybe you should go back early."

"Are you sure you want to stay here alone? I don't mind staying here. I'd like to see what else will

happen tonight. Why don't I stay here with you and wait for your man to come back?"

Jessica understood that her relationship with Oliver could not be hidden.

"I'll be fine alone. Well, I don't think it's a good choice if you stay here with me."

Although the room was very big, it was weird for a strange man to stay with her.

Ian smiled. "You don't think I'm a pervert, do you? Don't worry, I'm more interested in your boyfriend

than you."

Jessica looked embarrassed. It turned out that he was gay, like Tony.

Only then did she realize that Ian's appearance and facial features were very delicate. He was wearing

an iron-gray suit and a white shirt.

"That's not what I meant." She said as if she had said something wrong.

"Don't worry, I don't dare to stay here alone with you. Who knows what you've offended? For safety's

sake, I'll call a few bodyguards to guard the door. In addition to the hotel's own security system, you

can rest easy tonight."

When Jessica heard him say that, she agreed.

Ian ordered room service and dinner.

Jessica sat at the table without any appetite at all.

Lucas said, "For the sake of your baby, eat something."

Jessica ate some vegetable salad.

While eating, Jessica asked, "Ian, do you have a lot of connections here?"

He was able to get a few bodyguards over in a short while. Jessica thought he was somebody.

"Yes," he answered straightforwardly.

"Then can you help me find my husband?"

"Sure. You have to tell me his information. Otherwise, searching for him in this city is like looking for a

needle in a haystack."

Jessica stopped talking.

Given Oliver's special identity, she could not reveal it casually. She decided to wait until David came

back tomorrow.

After dinner, Jessica stayed by the phone in the living room.

Without a phone, she could buy a new one, but the card inside was gone. Oliver was unable to contact

her.

She turned on her computer again and kept an eye on her email.

Jessica was afraid of missing out on any way Oliver could contact her.

Ian, who was sitting on the side watching TV, looked at Jessica, who was sitting there in a daze and

said, "Watch TV first. If he wants to contact you, there are naturally hundreds of ways. Don't worry."

Jessica was suddenly reminded that there should be a news report about what happened last night. If

something really happened to Oliver, it might have been on the news.

She begged Ian to switch the channel to the local news and let him translate the news for her.

She kept asking, "Did you find a seriously injured man on the news?"

Ian kept shaking his head.

Sometimes, no news was the best news.

Jessica was agitated at the thought that Oliver, who had been soaked in the water with a bullet wound

for so long. If he hadn't been treated in time, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Jessica's legs were numb, so she stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.

Ian was worried about her.

He found it hard to believe he showed sympathy for her as he was a man of hedonism and selfishness.

He couldn't believe he even translated the news for her all night.

Maybe it was fate.
