Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 293

After White Group lost so much money, Marina could no longer play mahjong every day as before.

She returned to the company to help Jason with the company's business.

She feared to see anything wrong again.

When Marina returned, whenever she saw the employees rest in the tea room, she would quickly

chase them out to work.

In order to make up for the loss of the company, she cut down employees' salaries.

The employees all complained about it.

Although Jason would scold those employees when he was around, most of the decisions were made

by himself and he had no one to blame.

At that time, the salary had been very low. Now after Marina came back, more changes took place.

Those changes were all made to compensate for the loss.

Working overtime was now a common scene in the White Group.

The only person who didn't work overtime was Jason. He basically went home at the usual time.

Marina was very busy. In order to protect her dignity as a rich lady, she must now work hard to pull the

White Group back to normal.

Therefore, she often worked late at the company.

One day, she stayed up until dawn because she got a tender for a renovation project.

That night, Marina took the elevator and went down to the underground garage.

In the elevator, the lights flashed, which really scared her.

If she was trapped at this time, it would be very dangerous. If the lazy security guards did not find her,

she would be miserable.

Marina then quickly opened the elevator door and did not dare to take the elevator again.

She walked down through the safe passage afterward.

When the White Group was about to go bankrupt before, the company was on the lower floor.

Later, after the White cooperated with the Williams family, the former could make money easier.

Jason then moved his office to the top 30th floor.

In the office on the top floor, you could see Bin River in the distance, with a wide view.

Marina also agreed to move to the top floor.

But now, she hated it.

She came out of the elevator on the 28th floor.

It was early in the morning, so no one was in the office building.

She was the only one walking down the safe passages step by step.

Even if a young man walked down from such a high place, his legs and feet could not bear the labor, let

alone Marina.

Marina called the security guard, but no one answered it.

She had no choice but to continue.

While walking, she suddenly thought of the creepy smile she saw at the Mose Clubhouse.

Suddenly, her body secreted cold sweat.

In the past few days, as she was busy with the new tender, she could have a good rest every time she

went home. She would only worry about losing money, but seldom think of Jessica, who had passed

away.

Marina indicated herself not to think too much.

Anyway, she could not be hurt by the dead.

She thought sure it did.

Sometimes, the scariest thing was not the demons and monsters, but the living people.

At this moment, Marina heard a strange voice in her ear.

It seemed that it had been calling her name. She heard it very clearly.

Marina was even more afraid. Her feet were unsteady and she accidentally stepped out the stairs.

She then fell down and rolled down the stairs.

Now she couldn't even walk up the stairs.

Marina was shocked and scared. Then she fell and fainted.

When she woke up, she didn't know what time it was.

She felt really painful.

She couldn't move a step.

Marina searched the ground and looked for her phone.

She picked it up only to find it had been smashed to pieces.

She wanted to make a phone call, but she couldn't even turn it on. It kept black.

Now she hoped Jason could come to pick her up when he didn't find her at home.

If Jason came over, he could find her only by watching the monitor.

This was her only chance.

Unfortunately, her hope would probably fall through.

When Jason returned home, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He had been very stressed recently. He had lost a lot of money, which made him feel painful for so

many days.

He just wanted to take charge of the new project and make up for the money loss.

However, just when he thought there were many opportunities, he found that those who had been

fawning on him suddenly disappeared.

He asked many hirers in a humble manner, though they had agreed, they would change their minds

when it came to contract signing.

Jason didn't know why he was so unlucky.

So, he came home early to worship the gods. He prayed for himself as well as the company.

After dinner, Jason felt extremely tired and went to bed early.

He slept soundly that night. He didn't know whether Marina came back. The servants at home went to

bed early as well.

The servants were scolded by Marina often whenever she was unhappy.

Besides, Marina used to stay outside, as she would play mahjong all night.

Therefore, no one was surprised not to see her and thought she was engaged in some social activity.

Marina was lying alone in the passage.

It was already late autumn in Birmingham, and the temperature at night was very low compared to the

daytime.

At night, the windows in the safe passage were open. Marina was not wearing many clothes, so her

body would keep shivering as the wind came to her.

She felt cold and painful. Marina's lips became purple and her teeth were chattering.

She was afraid that her life would be over by dawn.

Marina cursed Jason in her heart.

She had worked overtime for the company alone until now, but Jason, would not work overtime, nor

pick her up. So she had to face such a situation.

Marina wanted to shout for help. But the door of the safe passage was soundproof, it was hard for

anyone working overtime to hear her.

She was afraid that if she used up all her strength, she would freeze to death here.

Marina dragged her injured leg and slowly rolled down.

At least her body would be warmer by exercising a bit. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Fortunately, by the time she fell, she was almost down the stairs.

Marina rolled to the bottom floor and out of the safe passage.

In the morning, when the security guards began to shift the work, they saw a person with messy hair

crawling on the ground through surveillance.

The security guard was startled and immediately went over to check it.

Only then did they find Marina.

When Marina saw the uniformed security guard coming over, she only said, "Take me to the hospital."

She fainted again.
