Chapter 338
However, Jackson didn’t stay for her or comfort her.
He just left after a sentence “Gavin will cure you“.
He sounded so indifferent.
Cece was a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Jackson wouldn’t drive her away for the time being
Jackson and Victor went away from the bedroom..
“How’s the investigation going?” Jackson turned his head slightly and asked indifferently.
Victor took a moment how to respond before saying, “I haven’t found anything new yet.
After Jackson asked him go look into Cece again, Victor immediately sent someone to investigate her without any delay.
There was no news yet within such a short time.
Jackson didn’t say anything else but walked straight to the other side of the corridor.
Victor glanced at Jackson’s back and then looked back at Cece’s room. He knew Cece should not be sent away for the time being now that she was ill.
After Oneida and her uncles had eaten, they rode horses on the manor’s
There were some top–quality horses in this manor.
Oneida had learned how to ride a horse for relaxation.
grass field.
It had been a while since she had ridden a horse, and her last ride was at Starr Training Camp.
Now, sitting back on the horse, she wanted to run to feel the thrill.
Jacob also came to the
grass
field.
He looked at Oneida on horseback indifferently. There was no expression on his handsome face.
Oneida suddenly rode to him and smiled, “Do you want to ride a horse too?”
Jacob shook his head.
He asked with a faint smile, “You actually know how to ride a horse?”
Oneida always surprised him.
He had thought she was an unpleasant and ignorant girl, but she turned out to be so talented and even knew games and horseback riding…
What else did she not know?
Oneida replied meaningfully, “I’m skilled in a lot of areas.”

Chapter 338
Jacob raised his eyes and gave her a serious look as if he didn’t believe it.
Abruptly, a loud ringtone sounded in their cars.
It was Jacob’s phone.
He took out his phone from his pocket and frowned when he saw the number on the screen.
Oneida noticed a cold look in his eyes.
He was upset.
The phone was still ringing.
Jacob did not appear to intend to pick it up; he just stared at the screen.
After a while, Oneida couldn’t help reminding him, “Aren’t you going to answer it?”
Jacob reluctantly answered the phone.
“Jacob, when will you come back here?” a deep male voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Jacob was a member of a computer game team.
Every e–sports contestant participated in professional games with their user names.
The call was from the team leader Jake Harris. “Jacob, the competition is about to start. Where are you? We can’t even start without you. Our team will be announced defeated.”
Jacob didn’t get bothered by it as his expression remained indifferent and awe–inspiring.
“Jake, you’d better check out Calvin first before you ask me,” Jacob said slowly.
Jacob shouldn’t have come here today because now was the critical time for them to compete for the world championship of Global Clash Championships.
Unexpectedly, Jacob was angry with his teammate Calvin.
Calvin was also a veteran, and both he and Jacob had both won the world championship before.
Unfortunately, Calvin’s life took a sharp turn for the worse after winning the world championship. He indulged in drinking, smoking, hooking up with attractive women, and having fun.
As a result, his performance was deteriorating rapidly.
He even skipped the training match to go shopping with his girlfriend at such critical moments before the Global Clash Championships was about to start.
Jacob couldn’t stand it anymore, so he simply returned home from the base.
He looked calm on the surface, but he was very irritable inside.
He was disappointed with Calvin.
“Calvin’s back. Don’t worry,” Jake sighed and replied frustratedly. “Everyone is here but you.”
Jacob paused slightly, surprised at Calvin’s return.
He had thought Calvin didn’t want to fight anymore.

Chapter 338
“I see. I’ll come back as soon as possible.” Although Jacob had a bal temper, he put the overall situation first.
Jacob shouldn’t let up his anger now that Calvin was back because the Global Clash Championships were the most important thing right now.
Although Jacob had won many world championships, he longed for more world champions.
He wanted to build his own kingdom.
Regretfully, he was partnered with Calvin, an unmotivated and troublesome teammate.
After Jacob hung up the phone, Oneida asked, “Are you going back?”
Jacob nodded. “Yes.”
He put his phone into his pocket and said to Oneida tonelessly, have a competition to attend. I’ll go now. See you later.”
After saying that, Jacob turned around and left without looking back.
Oneida stared at his back for a while, then got down from the horse and went to the villa to find his other two uncles.
She told them about Jacob’s departure.
Samuel and Charles looked at each other first and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Charles shook his head and said in a deep voice, “It’s a good thing that he is willing to go back.”
They all knew that Jacob was at odds with his teammate and suddenly came home from the base.
It meant things had been settled for the time being now that Jacob
had gone
back.
The two brothers were of course very pleased.
“By the way, Jacob will compete in the game tonight. We can watch it together and cheer for him,” Samuel suggested.
“There’s a competition so soon?” Oneida was taken aback.
Jacob was really bold to go home willfully on the very day of the competition.
He was quite something.
Oneida and her two uncles turned on the TV on time.
They had made an appointment to watch Jacob’s competition together.
It would be Jacob’s turn in one and a half hours.
However, the shocking news came out that KnightGuard, Jacob’s team, was going to lose the qualification because Calvin had voluntarily applied to withdraw from the competition and Knight Guard was unable to find a replacement.
After Calvin quit, KnightGuard couldn’t compete with just four members left if they could not get a replacement.
