Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 286

At Jeff's funeral, Jane decided to go to the Old Residence of Williams family to mourn the old man.

She could get to know all the celebrities in Birmingham again. And all the famous people in

Birmingham would be present.

After all, she had been away for five years. Although her appearance had not changed much, the

economic layout of the various families in Birmingham was different.

The Zamani family, where Henry came from, was no longer as glorious as it was before, but the skinny

camel was still bigger than a horse.

Williams family, on the other hand, had always been the head in Birmingham and it became even more

prosperous.

Jane was dressed in a black suit, with her hair simply tied up behind her head. She wore a pair of

sunglasses that were so big that they didn't match her face.

When she arrived at the Old Residence of the Williams family, she suddenly thought of the first time

she came here.

The first person she saw at that time was Lambert, who was dressed in a white suit. He stood under a

big tree and greeted her gracefully.

Now, things were different.

Even at the funeral of the old man of the Williams family, he couldn't come back to Birmingham. She

didn't know if he would regret what he had done at that time.

Jane entered the courtyard outside the hall. There were already many people lining up in front of her,

waiting to enter. She took Vivian with her and waited behind.

When she entered, she saw Oliver in mourning clothes shaking hands with the guests.

The person standing next to him was not Tina, but a five-year-old boy.

Jane carefully observed the child's appearance, which was exactly the same as Oliver's appearance in

his childhood photos.

Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart hurt as if a knife were cutting it. If her child were still alive,

he would also be at the same age as the boy.

However, there was something strange about the child's death back then. But she couldn't do anything.

She also wanted to come back to investigate this matter again, but it had something to do with Oliver,

so it might be very difficult. She had to plan for it in the long run.

When it was time for Jane to comfort his family members, she had already taken off her sunglasses.

Her eyes were red, and it didn't look awkward on this occasion. Even if she was seen by someone

else, they would think it was because she was mourning for Jeff.

Jane's appearance had changed a lot compared to before. But if her acquaintances looked closely at

her facial features, they could probably guess who she was.

So, before she came, she made an extra effort on her makeup to make herself look totally different

from Jessica.

When Jane reached out to shake hands with Oliver, she was very nervous.

Facing Oliver, she was too weak.

Her palms were a little wet and sticky.

Oliver had shaken hands with so many people for a whole morning out of politeness. When he held

Jane's hands, he inadvertently trembled.

He immediately looked up at Jane.

Jane was afraid that he might see her through, so she immediately released her grip.

She bent down and reached out to the little boy beside him. The little boy looked a little absent-minded.

He was a little scared when he saw a hand reaching over, so he hid behind Oliver.

Jane felt something was wrong with the look in that child's eyes.

She withdrew her hand and left quickly.

A week later.

Vivian received a call from the property manager, saying that her application form had been rejected.

The reason was that the studio could not do art-related business because it would affect the art gallery.

She asked the specific reason, and the people in the property only said that it was decided by the

people in the headquarters of Williams Group.

After knowing the result, Jane decided to find another place to establish her studio.

However, Vivian received another call from the art gallery asking Jane to give a report there.

At the opening ceremony that day, she said that she was not only an artist but also a professional art

therapist.

This was true. She did get a professional degree in Europe, but she had never treated any other

patient. She studied art therapy, initially just to save herself.

Those who attended the opening ceremony under the stage that day were very interested in her

profession and suggested to the art gallery that Jane should come to do the report.

The staff of the art gallery accepted this suggestion, so they called to ask if she was willing.

Jane was not busy yet. She just had time. She also needed a platform to promote herself, so she

agreed to go to the art gallery to make a report.

Oliver had been busy with Jeff's funeral a few days ago.

He wasn't there when the Jessica Art Gallery opened.

So, he decided to go to the art gallery to see its inside layout.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the art gallery, he saw posters of the lecture shown on the

electronic screens on both sides.

Oliver arranged for Simon to go to the curator of the art gallery and ask about its situation after it

opened.

After sending Simon away, he looked at the time and place and went to the multi-functional report hall

on the first floor.

He quietly found a seat in the back row and sat down. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Jane was talking about the application of art therapy in life and explained it with her own examples.

She was so engrossed in her lecture that she didn't notice that Oliver came in through the back door.

Oliver looked at Jane on the stage without blinking.

He only heard from the curator of the art gallery that Jane was an internationally renowned artist. He

didn't expect that she was an art therapist. Perhaps she could help his son, Roy.

Roy was already five years old, but he hardly spoke. Occasionally, he lost his temper and was

extremely unstable.

He even couldn't go to a normal kindergarten.

He invited some teachers to give him lessons at home, but so many teachers asked to leave.

He even found a lot of psychiatrists to diagnose his son, but it didn't work.

Oliver had once placed his hopes on Tina, but he did not expect the child would be extremely repulsed

to Tina and was unwilling to get close to her.

The doctor suggested that it was better to let the mother of the child stay by his side.

So Oliver let Tina stay in GrandVille Apartments.

In GrandVille Apartments, only when Oliver was around, could Roy perform a little better.

In the past few years, apart from work, he had spent as much time as possible accompanying his son,

hoping that his son could be like a normal child.

When Jane's lecture was over, she returned to the lounge, and someone soon went to knock on the

door.

Vivian saw it was the staff of the art gallery and she asked her what was the matter.

"Mr. Williams asked Miss Kim to come to his office. He wants to talk with her about something."

"What is going on? Miss Kim's schedule is very busy. If you don't make an appointment in advance, we

don't have spare time to have a conversation with Mr. Williams." Vivian said.

The staff did not expect that she would be rejected directly when she came to deliver the message.

She had to go back and tell Oliver first.

Vivian closed the door, "Miss, what should we do? Do you want to meet him alone now?"

Jane didn't know why Oliver wanted to see her either. She was always a little uneasy.

She said, "No, I'll leave first. You can just find an excuse."
