Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 485

Although Gavin had been in Europe all these years, he did not give up on the investigation about what

had happened that year.

Especially after the death of the Old Master of the Kim family.

Even though the Old Master, on his deathbed, did not allow him to have a hand in what had happened.

However, he didn't want to live like this, muddled and wronged.

When he first arrived in Holland, he had suffered a lot before he was able to explore a new world for

the Kim family.

At that time, he didn't have the time and energy, as well as the ability to investigate what had happened

back then.

It was only after the Old Master passed away that he began his investigations.

Only then, did he found out that it was indeed impossible for the Kim family to be capable of

confronting.

It was just like an egg hurling against a stone, which was their heading to the doom.

Even if the Kim family enjoyed a position of eminence in Birmingham at that time.

There were also the ones with a more exalted position.

After that, Gavin told himself to forget what had happened previously.

He would swallow the grievance on his own.

So he kept Lucas from coming back to Birmingham.

This time, were it not for Jane's issues with the Youngren Family, Gavin wouldn't have allowed them to

come back. However, he wanted to satisfy his daughter's wish.

It was originally supposed that the economic landscape of Birmingham had changed drastically as

decades had passed.

So it was beyond their expectations that every move of the Kim family would still be noticed and

watched.

At Jane's question about who the enemy of the Kim family was, Gavin did not know how to answer for

a while.

He didn't want to keep the children worried about the Kim family.

So Gavin only said, "It's all over now. We don't need to waste any more time on this. I just want you to

return to Holland and lead a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Jane and Lucas took a look at each other.

They all knew that their father was getting more and more restless and trapped.

Especially after finding his daughter Jane, he wanted to keep her in an ivory tower, rid of the

disturbance of the outside world. His biggest wish was for her to live safe and sound.

However, Jane was not in such a character.

If she hadn't suffered so much, she might be willing to live a stable and plentiful

life as a rich lady.

But now she had gone through so many things.

She could never live a carefree life again.

She also wanted to do something for the Kim family, especially for her own mother, who was involved

partly because of the issues of the Kim family.

Jane just wanted to find justice.

How could those people decide the fate of others so easily?

She was unable to swallow it.

So was Lucas.

Now the Kim family had been divided into two factions.

Gavin was of the conservatives, while Jane and Lucas were both radicals.

Both of the children advocated taking the initiative to attack so that they could preserve everything of

the Kim family.

Yet Gavin was afraid that the two children would be too rash to maintain their peaceful life.

Just like how he used to be back then.

History seemed to be a cycle, turning back.

Gavin was wavering.

Jane said, "Father, having been on the plane for so long, you'd better take a rest first. We'll discuss

what to do tomorrow."

Gavin checked the time. In order to rush back to Birmingham, he had not had a good rest for a day and

a night. He was getting old, and the travel had been too much for him, so he indeed should rest early

and achieve an agreement tomorrow when he got up.

Jane returned to her room, with the least feeling of sleepiness.

She didn't know anything about the Kim family in the past.

From Lan's hesitation in speaking, she knew that there must be a lot of unspeakable secrets about

what had happened to the Kim family.

But what exactly were they? She would not be able to figure out until her father was willing to talk about

these. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Standing by the window, she noticed that the moon outside was big and round.

A silver light shone on the ground.

Inadvertently, Jane saw the swing in the backyard, reminding her of how Roy kept giggling on the

swing.

Oliver was better off than her.

That Tina had left him such a good son.

But as for her child, she didn't know if they would be fortunate enough to meet in the next life.

Jane felt that she owed too much to her child.

Compared to the parents around her, no matter what Tina had done, she gave Roy his life.

And no matter how Oliver had been, he always treated Roy like a treasure.

But she, who had blamed them for not taking up the responsibility of parents, had failed to prevent her

child from death moments after the birth, depriving the child with even a glance at the world.

It was as if the child had come just to take away her blood disease.

Jane burst into tears at the thought of this.

She didn't give anything to the child, yet the child took away her illness.

That was really a great irony, that she had always said to herself that she loved her, but didn't do

anything for her.

When she had just been rescued by Lucas to Holland, she really thought she was going to die soon.

Passive or not, she didn't expect herself to be likely to survive for long.

Doctors had examined her blood disease previously, and there was nothing they could do about it.

However, when she went for an examination later, there was no sign of the blood disease.

When the doctor was informed that she had just given birth to a child, he explained that many diseases

of women could be taken away by delivering a child.

The unfortunate mother who had lost her child was meanwhile the lucky puerperal.

In that, her physical illness had unknowingly recovered.

Jane checked the time and found that it would be daybreak soon.

She was not sleepy at all and now it was impossible for them to return to Holland in a moment.

No matter what, she would persuade her father not to leave so easily.

If the Kim family withdrew like this, perhaps the Kim group in Europe would also be affected.

Once they retreated, they gave the enemy a signal that the Kim Group was but a weak company

unworthy of its fame.

For that, they were scared away before anything was done in Birmingham.

Jane had long understood that one had to make his enemy pay the price ten-fold and even a

hundredfold so that the enemy would be dreaded.

Otherwise, one would be bound to be bullied again.

Compromising would not earn the respect of the enemy. Instead, it would make things worse.

When she was with the White family, she tried to avoid greater conflicts with Tina to calm things down.

However, it was unexpected that Marina and Tina would bully her to such an extent in the end.

Her whole life was ruined by them.

Were it not for them, she wouldn't have suffered so much.

Had she foreseen that, she would have fought back at the beginning, not giving them the least chance

to continue to bully her.

It was really unfilial of her, to make not only herself but also her grandma endure through the thick and

thin, solely due to her forbearance.

Therefore, as for the experience of the Kim family this time, she was ready to sacrifice no matter what,

so as to make a turnaround for her family.

She was willing to do anything in order to provide the Kim family with a righteous place in Birmingham.
