Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Her body felt cold and warm at the same time, and she couldn’t tell where she was.

Suddenly, her long–developed alertness made her abruptly open her eyes.

The shadowy dungeon and the endless expanse of icy water were no longer there before her eyes.

She was sleeping in her room at Garrison Mansion.

“You’re awake?” Her ear picked up the cool, collected voice. It was Jackson’s familiar voice.

When she heard that, Oneida subconsciously lifted her eyes to look at him.

Jackson was in a wheelchair next to her bed.

His inscrutable and handsome face was emotionless, but he stared at her motionlessly with his dark gaze, as if they could draw people in.

“You.” Oneida sat up on the bed, propping herself up, puzzled. “Was it you who brought me back?”

After being imprisoned and submerged in icy water, she couldn’t recall what had happened.

Although she vaguely remembered someone coming to rescue her, the memory was hazy, “No,” Jackson denied.

Of course, he couldn’t tell her the truth “Someone had sent you back to Carrison Mansion. When you returned, your entire body was soaked.” Jackson noticed Oneida frown and assumed that she was really interested in knowing who had saved her, so he made up a lie without altering his expression.

Then, Oneida looked at Jackson, her eyes a little confused and a little dejected.

Indeed, she was curious as to who had rescued her from the freezing water.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember anything at all.

When her gaze fell downward, Oneida suddenly realized that she was wearing pajamas.

Her clothes had been changed.

She cast a subconscious glance at Jackson in front of her.

As she hesitated to speak, her eyes widened slightly, and her cheeks flushed.

She wanted to question him about it, but she wasn’t sure where to begin..

It was perfectly natural for him to change her clothes because they were husband and wife.

However, the prospect of being seen naked by Jackson made her feel inexplicably embarrassed.

When Jackson saw her expression, he knew exactly what she was thinking. The maid assisted you in changing your clothes,” he explained calmly.

As soon as he said that. Oneida felt even more embarrassed.

1/4 08:53 Tue, Nov 26 Chapter 101 “I’m glad you’re finally awake. You should get some rest,” Jackson suggested before turning around and leaving B When Oneida looked back at the man, she realized he had been by her bedside since she returned to Garrison Mansion She completely overlooked the fact that Jackson had been looking after her the entire time earlier because she was so focused on finding out who had saved her.

Thinking of that, Oneida decided to jump out of bed and personally escort Jackson out.

However, before her feet touched the ground, Carlos appeared and pushed Jackson away.

Seeing that, Oneida had no other choice but to lie down again.

It was three o’clock in the morning, but she was wide awake.

That day’s events made her realize one thing.

Jackson had many enemies, all of whom were extremely powerful.

Even if Jackson were to recover from his leg injury and begin showcasing his talents, that would be something to worry about later.

“Who could hold such a grudge against Jackson now that he’s bedridden and unable to leave his home?” she wondered.

Victor was waiting for Jackson when he returned to his study.

“Mr. Bane, everything has been handled properly without leaving any trace,” he reported to Jackson in an orderly manner, “We have been very careful. The identity of Dragon Souls has not been revealed, nor has our relationship with the Paragon Group. That person probably would never guess that all of these are your doing, Mr. Bane.

The fact that Jackson’s forces had not been exposed was certainly welcome news.

Victor understood that, while Jackson was already extremely powerful at the time, the power of the opposing side was equally complex and potent.

As a result, it was not the right time to reveal their hand yet.

in deciding his next move, laying the groundwork for the next big move, with the Over the years, Jackson had been in one fell swoop when the time was right.

ultimate goal of eliminating all of his He pretended to be handicapped and frail. On the one hand, he was secretly developing his power and plotting his next move, while on the other, he was perplexing his enemies.

As the talented fourth son of the Bane family, he was bound to become the target of those with ill will and envy. Otherwise, Jackson would not have been left crippled by his attackers in the past.

Nonetheless, it would be a different story if he were a disabled person. Nobody would ever take him seriously, As a result, despite the fact that his legs had fully healed and Jackson had become the leader of Paragon Group, he remained in Garrison Mansion, pretending to be helpless and disabled.

However, in order to save Oneida, Jackson nearly jeopardized the plans he had patiently prepared over the years.

Fortunately, the ending was satisfactory.

Jackson’s eyes narrowed slightly his face expressionless as ice. “Despite the fact that we have not been exposed, that person is naturally suspicious.

My wife was rescued by an unknown group of people, and that person will undoubtedly suspect me.”

He then raised his eyes and gazed out the window at the dark night sky. The bright moon was high in the sky, but it was 08:53 Tue, Nov 26 Chapter 101 mostly obscured by the pitch–black clouds.

Jackson’s lips lifted slightly, and he said coldly. “I’m afraid it won’t be peaceful in the future.”

Oneida couldn’t sleep and had to keep her eyes closed for a while to get as much rest as she could.

The loud ringtone on her phone woke her up early in the morning Her hand reached for the bedside table, and after a brief search with her eyes closed, she discovered her phone.

Oneida lay in bed, half asleep with her eyes closed, and groggily answered the phone, “Hello...”

81명을 “Boss, did I wake you up?” Simon was on the other end of the line, and he seemed surprised that Oneida’s voice sounded so tired.

Upon hearing that, Oneida opened her eyes immediately.

She was certain that if Simon had called, he must have had something important to tell her.

“What’s up?” Oneida sat up from her bed, the tiredness in her eyes gradually dissipating.

“Didn’t you ask me to look into Jackson’s love life the last time?” Simon continued, “I looked into it thoroughly and was about to report back to you.”

When Oneida heard that, she was taken aback.

She would have forgotten about it if Simon hadn’t brought it up.

“What did you find out?” she asked coldly.

“Nothing was discovered. There is no one of the opposite sex who had a close relationship with Jackson,” Simon explained eloquently. “Not even once in all these years.”

“None at all?” Oneida narrowed her eyes slightly and darkened her gaze.

The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)

The Second Act 103 “So, either Jackson has been very good at concealing it, or... Simon stopped midway, intentionally trying to keep her in suspense.

“Just spit it out,” Oneida said impatiently, frowning.

“Either Jackson’s hiding it too well, or he likes men!” Simon chuckled.

When Oneida heard that, she was rendered speechless.

“Boss, that could be the case. All day, he and his subordinate, Victor, are inseparable. Perhaps...

“Enough,” Oneida said with a frown as if she were speaking to someone stupid.

Nobody knew whether Jackson preferred men or women better than she did.

After all, she was Jackson’s unrequited love in the past.

“Forget it if you don’t believe me,” Simon said “However, while investigating, I discovered something unusual.”
