Chapter 278 

Because of one person, she laid bare all the softness in her heart 

Right now, she just wanted to protect Jackson. 

She didn’t want him to suffer any harm. 

“Leave him alone,” Oneida emphasized sternly, “What do you want? I’ll satisfy you.” 

Jonas was stunned at first. 

Then he almost burst into laughter and said, “I didn’t expect you to love Jackson so much. 

“But you said you and he are just a superficial couple.” 

Jonas paused halfway through his words, pretending to contemplate. “Could it be that you’re the one who’s in unrequited love?” 

Oneida pursed her lips and fell into silence. 

After a while, she nodded gently and said, “It’s okay if you think so.” 

Jonas, upon hearing this, didn’t say anything. 

Instead, he released his grip, letting go of Oneida’s chin. 

Somehow, he felt a bit uncomfortable and upset. 

Jonas wondered, ‘What’s so good about Jackson anyway? 

Just a cripple in a wheelchair. Is he really worth Oneida’s love? 

“This interesting and brave girl is actually willing to bear everything for Jackson. 

Jackson, why is Jackson always so lucky? 

‘He has the noblest birth, the most orthodox bloodline, the love of grandpa and grandma, and he manages to survive every assassination attempt. 

‘He’s really annoying!” 

Thinking of this, a trace of gloominess flashed in Jonas’s eyes. 

But at this moment, Oneida spoke, her gaze cold and piercing, Jonas, are you targeting Jackson because of your inferiority complex?” 

She slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled meaningfully. 

Suddenly, everything made sense to her. 

Perhaps all the hardships Jackson faced since childhood were caused by Jonas, his illegitimate brother. 

Because Jonas harbored an intense hatred towards Jackson. 

The reason Jackson became disabled, or the recent bomb attack, might all be Jonas’s doing. 

Oneida wondered, ‘How much harm has Jonas actually done to Jackson?

Chapter 278 

‘No wonder, in their past lives, when Jackson rose to prominence and began to flourish, Claude and Jonas suddenly disappeared. 

Presumably, after Jackson rose to power in his past life, the first ones he settled accounts with were his two illegitimate 

brothers. 

‘Unfortunately, Jackson hasn’t become strong yet in this life, but she has become his burden! 

Oneida couldn’t help but clench her fists, her expression ice–cold. She stared at Jonas intently and said coldly, “Jonas, no matter how wicked you are, no matter how you plot against Jackson, you will always be a loser. 

“You can’t compare to Jackson,” she said in a solemn tone as if pronouncing a judgment. 

Her words were like a sharp blade, piercing into Jonas’s heart. 

A trace of ferocity flashed across his handsome face. 

“Oneida!” He narrowed his eyes and shouted her name angrily. 

“You’re quite eloquent,” e sighed coldly, though his heart was filled with raging anger. 

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Jonas knew that Oneida’s words hit the point he cared most about. 

She was right. 

He felt inferior and jealous of Jackson. 

He clenched his fists and walked gracefully toward a nearby area where various tools were piled up. 

There were whips, clamps, and iron implements. 

“Oneida, which one do you want to try?” Jonas asked calmly, and there was a smile on his face. 

He was smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold, and he said the most ruthless words. 

He casually picked up a whip with his slender fingers and slowly approached Oneida. 

“How about this?” He took the whip in his hand and asked with a smile. 

Surprisingly, his voice carried a hint of inexplicable gentleness. 

Oneida watched him approach, but there was no change in her expression. 

She remained composed, indifferent, her eyes devoid of any fear 

She was mentally prepared long ago. 

“This whip will probably hurt when it strikes your body,” Jonas glanced at the whip in his hand and said softly.” “You can give it a try.” Oneida couldn’t move now. If he wanted to torture her, she had no means to evade or escape. 

But she wasn’t afraid of pain. 

This was also a way to stall for time, hoping that Jackson would quickly realize something was wrong and find the best 

solution. 

She didn’t want to become a pawn threatening Jackson. 

Oneida raised her eyes, staring firmly at Jonas. “Since I’ve fallen into your hands, whether you want to kill or beat me is up to

you.” 

As long as Jackson remained unharmed. 

Jonas was stunned for 

7ent. 

Perhaps Oneida’s unwavering determination startled him, but for a moment, he remained silent. 

Then, suddenly, Jonas reached out his hand, and the whip in his hand flew up, heading straight towards Oneida. 

Oneida didn’t even blink, her expression indifferent as she welcomed it all. 

The whip barely brushed Oneida’s ear, then glided perfectly pas her face. 

Jonas’s whip didn’t actually hit Oneida. 

Oneida was slightly taken aback. 

‘What the hell is he up to?‘ Oneida wondered. 

At this moment, Jackson was still in his study at Garrison Mansion. 

Now, he was absolutely sure that the person who kidnapped Oneida was Jonas. 

Counting the previous time, this was Jonas’s second time kidnapping Oneida. 

‘Good,‘ Jackson thought. 

He was standing in the middle of the study. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. 

“This time, I will settle everything. 

‘Retrieve everything from before. 

‘A loser who only knows how to kidnap women… 

Jonas, is this what you got?‘ Jackson thought with disdain. 

At this time, Victor walked in from the door with a solemn look. 

His movements were hurried with a hint of panic. He even forgot to knock on the door and walked in directly. 

Jackson noticed Victor’s unusual rashness, his brow slightly furrowed, and then he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?” 

Victor lifted his eyes to look at Jackson, his gaze worried and flustered. He sighed heavily first, then reached out and handed what he had to Jackson. 

In Victor’s hands, there was a stack of photos. 

Jackson paused, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in his heart 

“Where did you get them?” he immediately asked. 

Victor replied respectfully, “The mailbox. Someone sent it.” 

“Who sent it?” Jackson’s voice was cold and stern, his voice carrying a strong pressure. 

08:25 Wed, Dec 4 

Chapter 278 

Victor shook his head, still looking somewhat grim. “I don’t know There’s no sender information. I asked the delivery person, but they didn’t know either. It was anonymously mailed and they’ve taken good measures to keep it confidential” 

A complicated look flashed across Jackson’s eyes. Then he suddenly reached out his hand and said, “Give it to me” 

Victor didn’t dare to hesitate and handed the stack of photos directly to Jackson 

Jackson placed the photos in front of him and examined them carefully.
