Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 239

At that time, Emily happened to have a conflict with her family over her ambition to be a singer.

If the family knew that she was dating the eldest son of the Kim family while she was only 18, they

would probably have punished her according to the rules of the Youngren family.

However, not long after, their affairs were still discovered by the elders of the two families.

Emily's father was Terence, Jessica's grandfather.

The Youngren Family didn't have much conflict with the Kim Family because of business in the past.

However, the two families had not had much contact before.

Terence did know some friends who liked antiques. By chance, he heard about the Kim family.

It was said that the Kim family had prospered for so long and robbed the rest of Birmingham's wealth.

He said he must do something to break the Kim family's monopoly in Birmingham's real estate industry.

Most importantly, it was the best time to do it. He heard that the Kim family offended the people above

when they expanded their business in the capital.

Someone came to Birmingham on purpose and colluded with many small families to disrupt the Kim

family.

At that time, when Terrence heard about this, as a businessman's acumen, he knew that there must be

a big shot to trouble the Kim family.

If the other families joined together, the Kim family would be got a crisis.

Since he had heard such big news, when he heard that Emily was going to be with the eldest son of

the Kim family, he wouldn't let her do such a stupid thing.

"Emily, don't hang out with the eldest son of the Kim family anymore. That's a family out of our league."

Terence said.

When Emily heard this, she was naturally unwilling.

However, she knew her father's temper very well. She knew that she could not persuade him for a

moment, and she did not directly contradict him. She wanted to find a suitable opportunity to explain to

him.

She continued to date him secretly.

At that time, he still looked like a playboy. He didn't even like to ask about his family's business all day

long.

He was young, but he was interested in antiques. At that time, he often collected some collections in

private from some buyers.

Gavin saw a Buddha head in the antique shop and liked it very much, so he planned to buy it. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The shopkeeper told him that this Buddha's head was precious. Terence who was good at treasure

appraisal in Birmingham had also said it was a rare treasure.

If he wanted to buy it, he would invite Terence to the store and talk carefully.

When Gavin heard that he was going to invite Terence over, he immediately refused.

He heard from Emily that Terence was now against the two of them dating. Before she could talk to her

father to prevent them from meeting each other.

At that time, the Kim family was rather influential. Gavin bought whatever he liked without any

hesitation.

He stamped the card and took the Buddha's head.

Then one day, Gavin was at home playing with the things he had bought when a group of people in

police uniforms came in to question him.

Gavin felt that he liked to spend money for fun, and didn't do anything, so he asked his servants to

bring the police in.

"May I ask what makes you here? Are you here to tell me that I have just received a new treasure? Are

you interested?"

But just as he finished speaking, those in uniform walked into him and put his hands behind his back.

Only then did Gavin realize that something was wrong.

"What are you doing? You get a long rap sheet." He shouted.

The leading policeman said, "Gavin, come with us."

Gavin struggled to say, "I want to see my lawyer."

Those people didn't listen to him at all and quickly took him into a black car.

After he was arrested, his father immediately took his lawyer to see him, thinking that he was out doing

nothing serious and causing trouble. He wanted to bail him out first.

When they arrived at the detention center, they were told that Gavin was unable to be released on bail

because of the serious crime of selling first-class cultural relics.

In that era, the crime of selling national cultural relics was a very serious crime.

In order to get his son out, he made so much effort, but for a while, he could not know what was going

on.

Soon, the real estate owned by the Kim family was exposed to news that did not meet the construction

standards, as well as the deadly accident on the construction site, and so on. All kinds of bad news

came to the Kim family.

His father naturally knew that this time, it must not be a coincidence.

In the end, he compromised, withdrew from the real estate development in the capital city, and sold the

land in Birmingham in exchange for Gavin's personal freedom.

However, at that time, Gavin's father suddenly fell ill because of the misfortune in the family.

Gavin had never been concerned about the business of the Kim family before. For a while, the whole

Kim group went to be in chaos, but he was completely unable to deal with it.

The Kim family, which had always been on top of the world, collapsed all of a sudden.

At that time, Gavin regretted that he only was addicted to idling away in seeking pleasure, and never

thought of sharing more of the responsibilities carried by his father.

His father had Gavin at an old age. But he thought he was still in his prime, he had always indulged

Gavin and did not deliberately train him to inherit the family business.

Unexpectedly, once he fell ill, those families who had been gunning for the Kim family would not give

the Kim family any chance to recover.

His father knew the whole story of Gavin's arrest and told him to break up with Emily.

In any case, he did not know how much the Youngren Family had participated in this matter, but it also

indirectly harmed his son.

The Youngren Family was very famous among antique collectors. He was good at treasure appraisal,

so others naturally believed him.

After so many things, Gavin suddenly felt that he had grown up overnight. The burden of the family

suddenly fell on his shoulders.

He used to be a carefree young master of the Kim family, but now he had to clean up the mess for the

Kim family, which was about to go bankrupt.

At that time, Emily released a record of "Spring River and Moon Night," which became popular.

Gavin knew that he was not good enough for Emily, and he didn't seem to be standing in her way for

her career.

If anyone knew that the boyfriend of the big singer Emily was Gavin who violated the law, those fans

would probably ruin her career.

He had already experienced that public clamor can confound right and wrong.

He didn't want Emily to suffer again.

Even if his father didn't tell him, he was ready to break up with Emily.

After the Kim family's accident, Emily was busy with her work and at the same time went around for

Gavin.
