Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 331

Oliver asked someone to investigate how the "Fox Mountain Residence" that he bought was actually in

Marina's hands previously.

This investigation result surprised him. He did not expect the relationship between Marina and Jason to

be so bad.

Jason needed to mortgage the painting to Marina to get the money from her.

And Marina still didn't know that Jason had lost all his money, and the painting he gave her was also a

counterfeit.

Simon began to collect evidence based on the clues provided by Jane.

When the timing was right, he would return the painting to the JH Group and asked it to give

compensation accordingly.

The person in charge of the JH Group was not an idiot either. He had asked an appraiser to appraise

such a high-profile painting. He had also asked Marina to write a commitment letter. Together these two

things guaranteed the authenticity of the painting.

If the agreement was violated, it would be inevitable for her to make compensation.

The JH Group had done all the necessary preparation before auctioning the painting.

So Simon would also need to show a lot of proof to prove that this painting was a counterfeit.

At this moment.

Marina was celebrating with Tina at home. The money from selling the painting had just been

transferred to her account, and they hadn't had time to split it.

Marina was persuading Tina not to take her portion away for the time being.

After all, Tina didn't know anything about investment. The money would depreciate if it just stayed in

her hands.

Marina had been involved in the business world for so many years, she knew a lot of people as well as

investment resources, so she wanted to have Tina's money in her hands too.

As for Jason, he kept asking Marina for money.

Marina scolded Jason again, saying that he was a loser and that he couldn't have the money, she

would keep the money for him.

Jason was angry about what Marina said, so he went to look for Flora again.

Marina was happy enough to see the money in her bank account.

At this time, she didn't want Jason to be around, keep nagging about money.

Marina's injury in her leg got much better. With money in her account, her words had more power.

Anyway, she had nothing to do at home. So she went to see her old friends that she played Mahjong

with.

She had been staying in the hospital for so many days, and there were very few people who came to

visit her even though she seemed to have many close friends before.

Since everyone knew that the White family was not as close to the Williams family as Marina said.

In addition, the business of the White Group suddenly went bad. This news spread quickly in the social

circle of rich ladies.

Marina was also depressed previously, feeling ashamed to see others.

But it was different now. A painting could be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. The business of the

White Group had also improved.

Besides, she knew that Jason not only had the "Fox Mountain Residence" painting but also manyu

other calligraphy and paintings.

Marina roughly estimated and found that this was a much faster way to get money comparing to work

hard on the projects.

Her heart was filled with joy, and she thought that her joy should be shared with others.

Obviously, the Mahjong table was the best place to show off.

Back at the table, Marina was very generous.

Based on Marina's behaviours, the people she played Mahjong with knew that she must have some

good news.

So they asked her eagerly.

Marina told them that she had sold a painting for hundreds of millions of dollars.

After that, she even asked them to keep it a secret.

Ridiculously, even before they finished playing Mahjong, this news had spread throughout the social

circle of rich ladies.

Now that everyone knew, Marina had a lot of good things in her hands, and they were all priceless.

When Marina said that, she felt a sigh of relief.

The rich ladies ingratiated themselves with rich and powerful people, so when they knew that the White

Group lost their businesses they never invited her to play Mahjong with them. Before they had always

wanted her to join, always saying that they were short of one people and Marina was the one they were

waiting for.

Marina thought that she would be back at the center of the Mahjong table soon.

At this moment, she didn't think Jason was a loser anymore. She had to thank him for getting so many

good things from the Youngren family so that they could enjoy the rest of their lives comfortably.

Thinking of Jason, she realized that he seemed to spend less time at home these days.

Since Jason still had many treasures in his hands, she still wanted to get along well with him.

She immediately called Jason and asked where he was, saying that she had cooked a lot of delicious

food and was waiting for him to come back.

When Jason was not home, he kept telling Marina that he was working overtime at the company.

Marina didn't go to the company. Tina didn't want to go to the company either ever since she had

money.

Tina also knew that running a company was not as easy as she thought.

Previously, she only wanted to be the president of the White Group, so she could hire people to work

for her.

Seeing that Jason almost ruined the entire company, she was also a little scared. For the time being,

she stayed in the GrandVille Apartments and stopped going to the company.

When Marina called Jason, he was in the hotel with Flora.

As soon as he saw her call, Jason immediately picked it up. He was thinking that Marina should have

figured it out and agreed to give him some money.

But when he answered the phone, Marina was asking him to go home for dinner.

Her words sounded sweet, but she didn't take out a penny.

Jason was also angry with her behaviors, so he found an excuse, saying that he needed to work and

couldn't go home for the time being.

Marina had to give up. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Anyway, she didn't care. If he didn't come back, she could live a quieter life.

As soon as Marina hung up, her phone rang again.

She thought Jason changed his mind and would like to go home for dinner, so she asked when he

would be home.

Suddenly, it was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Marina said "hello" several times before she heard a familiar voice of a man on the other end of the

phone.

"Why did you call the home phone number? Are you crazy?"

When Marina heard Luk's voice, she couldn't control her emotions.

Although Jason was not at home, if the servant at home received a call from an unfamiliar man and let

Jason know, it could have terrible results.

Now, it was not time for her to completely turn against Jason, she didn't want Luk to ruin her

relationship with Jason.

"I want to see you," Luk said.

"Go back to Holland now. Don't show up in Birmingham anymore. For the sake of me and Tina, you

should leave as soon as possible."

Marina's heart pounded at the thought of Jason and Luk getting along well with each other.

Marina was afraid that if Jason found any clues, she and Tina would definitely be kicked out of the

White family.

By then, she would be miserable.

Though Luk was able to dress in a suit now, Marina knew too well what kind of person he was.

Although Jason was kind of a loser, he was at least a normal person.

Luk could not even be considered a normal person, she didn't want to have any relationship with him

anymore.

Smart people would not be fooled again after they learned the lesson.
