Chapter 300
In fact, when Jonas’s men stormed the manor’s hall to rescue the two brothers, Jackson had a change of plan.
He decided to deliberately let Jonas escape to lure out the deeper forces behind him.
Therefore, he signaled his subordinates to stay put and not act immediately.
However, he miscalculated one thing.
He didn’t expect that Oneida would after Jonas to stop him from leaving.
By the time Jackson arrived, a bullet was already flying straight at her.
Without hesitation, he shielded her from the lethal shot.
Fortunately, the bullet was successfully removed, and he was out of immediate danger.
“Mr. Bane, there’s another matter.” Victor’s low voice interrupted Jackson’s thoughts.
“What is it?” Jackson asked indifferently, his lips barely moving.
“It’s about “Victor glanced discreetly at Jackson, his expression complex and conflicted. “It’s about Cece.”
Hearing that name “Cece“, Jackson felt a surge of nostalgia.
“Cece might really be found this time,” Victor said firmly. “Our men have located her and should bring her back soon.”
Not long ago, Victor had reported significant progress in locating Cece. Now, she was about to be found, almost too smoothly.
“Cece-” Jackson’s dark, deep eyes flickered with emotion.
Cece, the girl he had searched for so long was finally within reach.
Jackson couldn’t help but feel like all of this didn’t quite feel real
“I understand,” Jackson responded with a soft tone, his face showing a slightly distracted expression.
Victor watched, his expression complicated.
Jackson had resolved to move on and love Oneida. But now, his long–lost first love was about to reappear.
How would this unfold?
“Since she’s found, make sure to bring her back properly,” Jackson instructed, his voice cold and low.
Victor immediately snapped back to attention, nodding solemnly.
He subconsciously glanced at Jackson and noticed that the man was currently devoid of any expression.
Jackson lowered his gaze, his thoughts unreadable.
Of course, Jackson was glad Cece was coming back,
But things couldn’t be the same as they were before.

Chapter 300.
As Jackson continued resting in his room, the doctor checked on him, noting his good recovery.
Then, with the doctor’s permission, Lionel, Ruth, and Yvonne hurried in to see him.
Ruth had just recovered from her shock and couldn’t wait to see her injured grandson.
Jackson reassured his anxious family and then expressed his desire to return home to recuperate.
Staying at the manor was inconvenient for him.
He wanted to go back to Garrison Mansion.
Despite their concern, his grandparents didn’t insist on keeping him.

After a few more words of caution, they left the room. Yvonne held her son’s hand and cried again, only leaving after she felt better.
Finally, Oneida returned.
She was informed by Victor about Jackson’s plan to go back to Garrison Mansion. She came specifically to help him pack up, knowing he was injured and might struggle with certain tasks.
