Chapter 212 As these thoughts crossed her mind, Oneida quickened her pace towards the RollsâRoyceâs door.
âOneida-â Christopher called out, stepping forward.
However, Victor swiftly blocked his path, his expression cold as he said, âMr. Faraday, please stay back The next second. Victor lowered his voice, speaking so only they could hear, âMr. Bane said if you continue to pester Mrs. Bane, he will take strong measures.ââ
Christopherâs eyes widened in shock.
So. Jackson knew everything.
âWhat measures will he take?â Christopher asked coldly, his eyes darkening.
Victorâs gaze grew stern. âMr. Faraday, I advise you not to push your luck on this matter. If youâre not afraid, you can try There was one thing that Victor had slowly come to understand Maybe Jackson himself hadnât realized it, but as his most trusted aide, having been by his side for so many years, Victor had long noticed that Oneida was different to Jackson.
In a way, Jackson considered Oneida his possession, constantly keeping an eye on her, not allowing anyone else to cover her For example, this time, when Oneida insisted on returning to Quakersville, Jackson pretended not to care, but in the end, he couldnât help but send someone to keep an eye on her.
When she went to the police station, Jackson learned about the situation and immediately arranged for Edmund to be well taken care of, preventing him from being mistreated.
But Jackson did not interfere with the investigation.
He said he believed Oneida could handle it.
However, upon learning that Christopher was persistently following Oneida, Jacksonâs face turned extremely unpleasant. and he ordered Victor to bring Oneida back immediately.
Jacksonâs concern for Oneida was evident, He had never been so attentive to any other woman, except for the girl he had been searching for all these years.
Victor thought perhaps it was time for Jackson to fall in love. Clinging to the memories of his youth was painful and lonely.
Unfortunately, Jackson had never been in love, and he probably didnât realize his feelings for Oneida.
After leaving his words, Victor turned and left.
He got into the driverâs seat, started the engine, and drove the RollsâRoyce away.
Christopher could only stand there, watching the car get further away until it finally disappeared from sight.
Sitting in the car, Oneida felt slightly apprehensi The last time she and Jackson met, it ended badly.
hey were about to meet again.
Now, they 08:36 Wed, Nov 27 Chapter 212 She couldnât help but feel a bit at a loss as to what to do âMrs. Bane, weâre here. Victorâs cool voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
Oneida nodded absentmindedly and got out of the car.
Walking through the lush manor, she headed straight into the hall.
Unexpectedly, Jackson was already there, waiting for her.
He was still seated in his wheelchair.
His pristine white shirt was spotless, his long legs encased in black trousers, and his chiseled face was bathed in a soft glow, looking pure and beautiful.
For a moment, Oneida felt Jackson was not of this world. He was aloof, noble, and untouchable, and approaching him felt like desecration.
Jackson, Oneida subconsciously called out, her voice hesitant and stuttering..
Jackson raised his eyes to gaze at her. Those deep eyes seemed to gleam with an incredibly profound light.
âCome here.â He uttered the words in a low, deep voice.
Oneida pressed her lips together, hesitating slightly.
She couldnât quite grasp Jacksonâs attitude at the moment.
She wasnât sure if he was angry, or if they had reconciled.
After a moment of indecision, Oneida finally stepped forward and walked straight towards Jackson.
âOneida,â Jackson called her name with a serious tone as she approached.
Oneida paused, her expression showing slight hint of surprise should âNo matter what, I want you to remember that you are my wife now. You are the woman of me, Jackson, and you keep a distance from other men, he said, his voice cold and detached.
Oneidaâs face remained calm.
Jackson had indeed been having someone watch her every move She suddenly fell silent.
Standing in front of Jackson, she didnât say a word.
Jackson narrowed his eyes slightly, his slender white fingers curling slightly. He hadnât expected Oneida to fall silent.
His handsome and chiseled features were suddenly covered with a layer of coldness Just as he was about to speak, Oneida preemptively spoke. âIn what capacity are you saying this, Jackson?â
The pale, beautiful girl curled her lips into a meaningful smile, staring at Jackson as she questioned, âDo you feel embarrassed because of me? Or-
Oneidaâs fingertips trembled slightly. Her face was calm, but her heart couldnât stop racing. âDo you like me, Jackson?â Her tone carried a hint of playfulness, not entirely serious.
08:36 Wed, Nov 27 Chapter 212 But only Oneida knew she was serious.
Taking advantage of tonightâs opportunity, she finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask Jackson.
Jacksonâs deep eyes remained unchanged.
He always kept his emotions in check.
Although his face showed no expression, his heart was already in turmoil.
âDo I like her?â he repeated her question in his mind.
To Jackson, Oneida had always been a liability.
In Jacksonâs eyes, marriage didnât necessarily require love.
His parents, a pair of incompatible couple, still got married and had children.
It was precisely because of Yvonneâs tragic fate that he tried his best to treat Oneida well.
He didnât want Oneida to end up like Yvonne, bound by marriage and deeply hurt by her husband.
At this moment, Oneida stared at him, feeling both disappointed and anxious.
She had expected this.
Considering for so long without speaking probably meant he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 211 âJackson, I was just joking. Oneida suddenly grinned, flashing a bright smile.
She laughed happily as if it really was just a joke.
Jacksonâs expression finally showed a slight change.
He was somewhat displeased, his brows knitting slightly.
He had been seriously contemplating the question, but she said it was just a joke.
âJackson, donât worry. I know what Iâm doing. Iâm your wife now so I wonât embarrass or bring disgrace to you.â Oneida assured him, a smile still lingering at the corners of her eyes.
But only she knew the faint bitterness that stung her heart.
Jackson, Iâll go back to my room first,â Having made her promise, Oneida turned around and walked towards the stairs without looking back.
She didnât want to stay any longer.
As Jackson watched her retreating figure, suddenly-
