Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 202

When Lambert arrived at the Old Residence, he saw Jeff sitting in the living room, lost in his thoughts.

He knew something must have happened, which made Jeff unhappy.

"Grandpa, I was busy this morning and didn't get your call in time." He smiled and said, "I've heard that

you're not feeling well recently. Have you seen a doctor? How are you feeling now?"

Jeff said with a gloomy look, "I'm fine."

"Grandpa, why did you call me over?"

Jeff should have something to say for he specially arranged Hugh to call Lambert over. And it was

something that could not be said over the phone, so it was not a small matter.

"How have you been doing in the company lately? It's been quite well?" Jeff asked.

"Thank you for your help, grandpa. I'm completely used to working in the Williams Group now."

Lambert was puzzled by Jeff's question and did not know why he asked such questions.

"I think as you just took charge of the Williams Group, you should focus on your work. What are your

plans for your marriage to Jessica?"

Lambert had just planned to talk to his grandfather about the marriage, as his grandfather had only

agreed to his marriage with Jessica, but had not decided on the date of the wedding and other

arrangements.

He had planned to hold the wedding after Jessica gave birth to the child, but he was afraid that

something bad might happen. So the soon, the better.

Of course, Lambert had one more thing to ask Jeff for. He wanted to invite his mother to the wedding,

so that his mother's identity would be exposed to public, which meant that the Williams family accepted

her.

Lambert felt a little embarrassed to ask. But he thought since Jeff could even agree to his marriage, it

shouldn't be difficult to have his mother attend the wedding either. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As long as Jeff agreed, the other people would not say anything about his mother. Then they would put

his mother's name into the pedigree of the Williams Family step by step.

Lambert thought all his plan could be realized naturally.

However, he saw his grandpa was a bit unhappy just now.

So he didn't intend to bring up these things first but just waited for Jeff to speak to him.

He hadn't expected Jeff to ask about his marriage.

Lambert swallowed hard and said nervously, "Grandpa, I want to hold the wedding as soon as possible

and make Jessica my wife. Our baby will be born soon, and there will be many things to deal with after

that, so we might not have time for the wedding then."

"I think it's better not to hurry. There are a lot of things to prepare for the wedding. Jessica is pregnant

and shouldn't spend too much energy on that. After the child is born, there's still time for you to prepare

for the wedding."

Jeff said as if the wedding was not a big deal. He was extremely regretful that he had allowed Lambert

to marry Jessica.

He thought it was stupid of him to let Lambert marry the woman whom Oliver loved before Oliver could

stand up and say anything.

Now that he knew what he had done was stupid, he needed to grasp the chance to remedy the

situation.

When Lambert heard Jeff say like this, he slightly frowned. He didn't know why his grandpa suddenly

changed his mind.

Jeff had been very open-minded before, and he helped Lambert both at the Williams Group and in the

stock market.

Now, his attitude was completely different. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

'Could it be that grandpa knows something?'

He thought that his grandfather had been in poor health recently and had no energy to worry about

anything else. Jeff even didn't go to the Williams Group but let Lambert manage all the stuff.

"Grandpa, I've already made a deal with Jessica. She's full of joy. She's waiting for the wedding to

come soon. You don't have to worry about anything. I'll get everything done."

Lambert insisted. He would never compromise.

Jeff looked at Lambert as if he were a stranger.

In the past, he listened to Jeff and never disobeyed him.

Jeff had clearly hinted that Lambert should not marry Jessica, but Lambert still insisted. It seemed that

Jeff's guess was right.

Lambert had just taken charge of the Williams Group, but now he didn't take what Jeff said seriously. If

Lambert held the entire power over the Williams Group, Jeff could not imagine what ridiculous things

he might do.

"That's it. I'm a little tired. You can go back now." Jeff glanced at Lambert and was about to leave.

Lambert stepped forward quickly. "Grandpa, I'll take you back to your room for a rest."

He knew Jeff's strong character, and didn't want to talk back to him directly.

After serving Jeff to bed, Lambert left the Old Residence.

Sure enough, there was something wrong about this visit.

Although Lambert was mentally prepared before coming, he was still very angry. After sitting in the car,

he clenched his fists and pounded heavily on the armrest of the seat.

He thought that he had always followed what Jeff said since he was a child. He couldn't believe this

was actually the first time he had asked something of him—he asked permission to marry Jessica.

Jeff had promised him, but now he has gone back on his word. Lambert thought Jeff simply didn't care

about him, the eldest grandson of the Williams family.

If it were Oliver, he wouldn't even care about Jeff's decision.

It was because Lambert respected Jeff that he asked for his permission. He hadn't expected that Jeff

would ignore his will and now intend to stop his wedding with Jessica.

'Could it be because of Oliver? Does grandpa feel sorry for his beloved grandson?'

The more Lambert thought about it, the angrier he became. No one could stop him this time.

He was no longer a pushover. Even his grandpa could not stop him.

Toby told him about Jeff's recent physical condition, and he also learned about it from the doctor.

Jeff had heart diseases and had been recuperating for many years. He had founded Williams Hospital

partly because of his physical condition, which could be convenient for his treatment.

Now that he was old and weak and had other illnesses apart from heart diseases, so he should not live

long.

Lambert returned to the Williams Group and asked the secretary whom he trusted the most to prepare

for the wedding secretly.

After the plans were done, he could tell Jeff that he had already made the arrangements and even sent

out the invitations, so that Jeff would be unable to anything about that.

If it was suddenly canceled again, it would naturally affect the reputation of Williams family and even

the shares of the group.

At that time, Jeff would be forced to agree.

He knew that his grandfather had always cared about the overall situation and would not want to see

any harm to the interests of the Williams family because of his marriage.

After all, he was Jeff's grandson and had been raised by him, so he knew Jeff well.
