Chapter 245

Yuliana clenched her fists unwillingly. She could only watch those men in black slowly disperse. Oneida broke through the siege and got into that black Rolls–Royce.

Victor turned around and got into the driver’s seat.

Then the Rolls–Royce drove away under everyone’s watch.

Oneida and Jackson sat together.

She tilted her head and looked at him.

She felt that Jackson had changed a lot.

In the past, he always stayed at home and didn’t want to see anyone..

Therefore, few people in Jeahron had seen him in person.

But now, it seemed that he was willing to show up”

Last time he showed up in front of Christopher, and this time William and the others.

Oneida thought he didn’t want to see anyone

at

all.

Now it seemed that he was still willing to show up in public.

Seeing that Oneida kept staring at him, Jackson couldn’t help but turn to look at her. He asked with a faint smile, “Can you stop staring at me now?”

His deep voice brought Oneida back to her senses.

Thinking of those bad words that Yuliana said just now, Oneida comforted Jackson, “Jackson, don’t take what they said seriously.”

After all, no one would be willing to be called “an ugly and disabled person“.

Oneida didn’t know whether Jackson would mind it.

Oneida looked at him sincerely and waited for his answer.

However, Jackson said, “It was my bad.”

His voice was a little soft, and his gaze was like bright, clear, and tender moonlight. “I embarrassed you.”

Although those rumors about him were not true, they still became evidence for others to mock Oneida.

A trace of coldness and sullen flashed in Jackson’s eyes.

He thought, ‘I’ll break those rumors in person soon.

I won’t let myself become Oneida’s problem anymore.

Oneida didn’t expect Jackson to say that.

The car fell into silence.

When Oneida came back to her senses, she slowly shook her head and said, “No, Jackson.”

Chapter 245

She suddenly smiled brightly and innocently. “I never feel embarrassed.”

ahd

Jackson looked into her eyes and was attracted by her smile.

He subconsciously reached out to touch Oneida, but the car suddenly made a sharp turn.

He withdrew his hand before touching her.

The two of them kept a distance like before and both stopped talking.

They arrived at the Garrison Mansion soon.

After they got home, Jackson immediately let Victor push him into the study.

He went to the desk, turned on the computer, and found a file.

Victor was standing behind him. Seeing the document on the screen, he immediately understood what Jackson wanted to do.

He thought, ‘Mr. Bane is gonna take another movement.

On the screen was the information of William and Wyatt’s co–founded company. In addition to the public information, there were some hidden loopholes.

Jackson lowered his eyes, and the blue light of the screen shone on his cold face. “You know what to do.”

He said that to Victor.

Victor knew that Jackson was gonna lay hands on William.

He did the same thing to Christopher last time. He started from the Faraday family’s company and defeated Christopher quite soon.

Victor thought, ‘Mrs. Bane is quite like Helen of Troy.

‘She has made Mr. Bane make some movements twice.‘

Victor sighed in his mind.

He didn’t show any other emotions on his face. He just nodded respectfully and replied, “Yes, Mr. Bane.”

Oneida got the news of William’s company’s problem the next day.

It was said that a big problem of William’s company was exposed and the stock price plunged.

The news that Wyatt Chaser, the company’s major shareholder, had gone to prison was leaked by someone, and it immediately panicked everyone in the company.

William was in trouble.

If he couldn’t solve it well, the company may soon be forced to be delisted and declare bankruptcy.

Of course, that was not something Oneida needed to worry about.

She wanted William to go bankrupt as soon as possible.

But she felt a little strange.

Chapter 245

She thought, ‘It happened so suddenly and coincidentally.

‘He sent people to siege me yesterday, and today he’s in trouble.

‘It’s hard not to doubt that someone is deliberately manipulating all this.

‘If so, who would it be?

‘Not me, anyway.‘

Oneida did want to teach William a lesson, but it happened before she could do anything.

She thought of someone.

Jackson.

Jackson was the most likely one, anyway.

But was he really powerful enough to control all this?

Even if Jackson would be promising in the future, he was still a disabled young man who was suffering from autism in Oneida’s eyes.

Oneida shook her head and stopped thinking.

No matter whether it was Jackson or not, it wouldn’t change his status in her heart.

Oneida walked out of the villa and met Fiona who was working in the manor..

So unlucky.

Fiona was trimming a potted plant. She might have felt Oneida’s gaze and then suddenly raised her head.

The two of them met each other’s eyes.

Oneida looked indifferent and frowned slightly.

She thought Fiona would be rude and sarcastic to her as usual, but unexpectedly, Fiona smiled kindly at her.

“Oneida, are you taking a walk in the manor?” Fiona looked at Oneida with a smile and chatted as if they were old friends.

Oneida felt that something was wrong with Fiona.

Something fishy must be going on.

It was not good that Fiona suddenly became so friendly to her.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You think I’ve changed?” Fiona put down the scissors in her hand and said softly. “I’ve just convinced myself. I have been working hard in the manor these days. It’s tiring but also fulfilling. Working with flowers and plants makes me feel much calmer. I’ve gradually convinced myself and become less impetuous.”
