Chapter 199
“Seriously?” Oneida slowly snapped back to her senses.
Thinking about what he had just done to her.
Her face flushed one moment, then went pale the next, quite dramatic.
“Why punish me?” She clenched her fingers, her mind still in turmoil. “Why use…”
Use this kind of punishment?‘ Oneida wondered.
Oneida was too embarrassed to speak the rest of the words.
She was indeed a bit confused.
Before today, Jackson was someone who could be both refreshingly refined and indifferently domineering in her eyes.
In front of her, he hardly showed any aggressiveness.
But today, for the first time, she experienced Jackson’s nearly predatory aggressiveness, along with his dangerously captivating charm.
Before her, Jason was staring down at her. His deep and gloomy gaze inadvertently fell on Oneida’s slightly reddened lips. There were still traces of glaring blood. It was bitten by him.
Jackson’s gaze became deepened slightly.
“Don’t ignore me again.” His voice was still clear and pleasant, but now it was tinged with a hint of huskiness.
This voice, falling into Oneida’s ears, inexplicably exuded a deadly magnetism.
Oneida froze in place, at a loss for words.

But Jackson’s gaze was firmly fixed on her.
Back at the Bane manor, he had sensed something was wrong.
He sensed Oneida’s vague rejection, evasion, and disregard towards him.
Then, returning to Garrison Mansion, she actually intended to ignore him and leave there without a word.
A strange emotion surged in his heart instantly.
Half impulse, half lucid, he made the move he just did.
He didn’t know why he chose to do that.
While verbally called it a ‘punishment,‘ his heart was increasingly in turmoil.
All he knew was that he didn’t want Oneida to ignore him.
It was okay if she didn’t like him, but she shouldn’t have been cold or avoidant towards him.
“Since you’ve already punished me, can I go now?” Suddenly, Oneida pursed her lips and asked in a detached tone.
Her expression gradually calmed, her gaze cold and focused on Jackson in front of her.
Jackson slightly narrowed his eyes.
He turned his head away, no longer looking at her, and uttered two words. “All right.”
Jackson’s graceful jawline, bathed in moonlight, appeared exceptionally mysterious and elegant.
Oneida glanced at him, then stood up and distanced herself from Jackson. “I’ll come back.”
With those words, Oneida turned and walked
away.
Upon hearing this, Jackson suddenly turned his head.

He stared at Oneida’s receding figure, his eyes flickering, lost in thought..
Oneida quickly got into the car.
Seated in the back, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.
In her mind, the scene just now was replaying. “This is killing

things?
‘Or rather, it was just one of Jackson’s twisted amusements.
‘It didn’t mean anything.
She closed her eyes, slowly calming her mind.
Soon the car had already entered Quakersville. “Ma’am, we’ve arrived.”
The driver’s deep and respectful voice sounded in her ears, making Oneida suddenly open her eyes.
Seeing the villa outside the car window, Oneida unbuckled her seat belt, then opened the car door and stepped out.
As soon as she got out of the car, a servant came to open the door.
“Ms. Chaser, you’re here,” he said calmly, swinging open the large metal gate, “I received orders just now that you were coming back, so I waited to open the door for you.”
Oneida simply nodded lightly.
She thought it must have been Lucas who specially instructed the servant to open the gate for her.
She walked through the gate, then hurried into the villa.
She was eager to know the truth about Edmund’s matter.
“What are you doing here so late? Don’t you want me to sleep?” Just then, a sharp and piercing female voice suddenly sounded.
Oneida raised her eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.
Tatiana, wearing a loose robe, was standing at the staircase on the second floor, looking displeased at Oneida.
She was frowning tightly, with a strong sense of irritability in her eyes.
It was evident that Tatiana was in a foul mood.
It seemed that it wasn’t just because of Oneida’s arrival, there might be other reasons, such as Edmund.
“Come on, why are you getting so mad in the middle of the night.” On the other side, Lucas had just stepped out of his room and couldn’t help but intervene when he saw the mother and daughter confronting each other.
“Jinx!” Tatiana clenched her lips tightly, her eyes reddened, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.
She stared fiercely at Oneida, with a strong hatred in her eyes.
Yes, it
was hatred.
In Tatiana’s eyes, Oneida could clearly see this emotion.
“Since you’ve come back, I haven’t encountered anything good, only bad things! I haven’t had a moment of peace.” Tatiana, with red eyes, almost hysterically vented her emotions.
Her sharp gaze pierced straight towards Oneida, her expression somewhat fierce. “Jennifer’s health has been even Edmund is…”
By the end, Tatiana was almost choked with tears.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she glared at Oneida with gritted teeth.

“You…” Lucas, seeing her this way, couldn’t help but shake his head. “What does this have to do with Ida?”
“It does.” Tatiana shouted recklessly, her expression almost distorted. “If only she hadn’t come back… Everything was so much better before. How great it would be without her? Why did she come back?
“Like a jinx, she’s causing trouble for our whole family. She’s so shameless!”
All these words fell into Oneida’s ears.
She remained composed on the surface, but her fingers hanging by her side couldn’t help but tighten slightly.
“Why are you saying all this?” Lucas furrowed his brows deeply, his expression unpleasant. “Ida didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Dad.” Just then, Oneida, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, interrupting their conversation.
She pursed her lips and walked up calmly, approaching the two of them.
Tatiana’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at her as if she would pounce on her and bite her at any moment.
Lucas, on the other hand, looked helpless and heartbroken.
Under his eyes lay a weary shade of dark circles.
It seemed he hadn’t slept well for these past few days.
“What exactly happened to Edmund?” Oneida looked at Lucas and asked, emphasizing each word.
She didn’t care about anything else, the most important thing right now was Edmund.
“What’s it to you?” Before Lucas could reply, Tatiana yelled loudly, her emotions very unstable. “How dare you even ask?”
“No matter what happens, I will help Edmund,” Oneida stated calmly, her voice authoritative, drowning out Tatiana’s yelling.
“Help?” Upon hearing this, Tatiana sneered as if she had heard a joke. She gritted her teeth and said, “The best help you could provide is to stay out of our sight. What are you doing coming back in the middle of the night, deliberately disgusting me, huh?”
