Chapter 385

Oneida looked at Jackson who was lying not far away. He was just lying there quietly, with a look of disinterest towards the world. If it weren’t for Oneida knowing that his heart was still beating, this man looked like he was already dead.

Oneida clenched her fingers, her eyes flickering with a determined and resolute gleam. She was going to make Jackson well again. She had to.

“Take good care of him. I need to step out for a while.” Oneida instructed earnestly, turning her gaze to Victor.

Victor nodded immediately upon hearing her. For some reason, he had a sinking feeling that Oneida might not be coming back.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Victor’s mind. “Mrs. Bane, aren’t you thinking of going to find Jonas, are you? You mustn’t go! You can’t go alone to find Jonas… He’s cunning. If you go alone, I’m afraid…”

“This isn’t right!” Victor’s expression turned exceptionally stern. “Mrs. Bane, you shouldn’t go at all. Let me handle finding Jonas

“I’ll go by myself,” Oneida said resolutely without turning back to look at him. She wanted to be alone. The accounts between her and Jomas needed to be settled once and for all

“Mrs. Bane, you can’t… Victor hurriedly moved forward, trying his best to dissuade her. “How can you go alone?”

Victor didn’t know Oneida’s true identity. In his heart, Oneida was just a girl who knew a bit about medicine and had a strong will. How could a girl go alone to confront Jonas? Even though Jackson was unconscious now, Paragon Group’s people were still around. It shouldn’t be Oneida stepping forward

“Do you even know where Jonas is?” Oneida suddenly turned and asked him.

Victor was slightly stunned. They didn’t know. In truth, he and his men had been searching for Jonas and Claude, but they were too well hidden, and they hadn’t turned up anything yet.

Seeing his silence, Oneida already had her answer. She curved her lips into a faint smile. “See, you don’t even know where they are, so how are you going to meet Jonas?

“You don’t need to protect me,” Oneida said seriously, her gaze dightly lowered. “Jonas and I are practically acquaintances He won’t harm me. I’m just going to catch up: There won’t be any danger”

With that, Oneida turned and left the room. Victor stood there, silently watching her departure, not saying another word.

Oneida had already said so much, he didn’t feel right to argue further.

But could Oneida find Jonas? A girl like her, could she truly be more capable than Paragon Group’s advanced tracking system?

Oneida swiftly exited Garrison Mansion. Honestly, she wasn’t entirely sure where Jonas was. But one thing was for certain, he was still in Jeahron.

Based on Cece’s description, she hadn’t been in the car for too long before being brought to Jonas. This indicated that Jonas was likely in the heart of Jeahron. No wonder so many people couldn’t find him….

Following normal thought processes, Jonas would have either lef Jeahron or hidden in its outskirts by now, But he did the opposite, hiding in the busiest part of the city reduced the chances of being discovered.

Jeahron’s center had numerous alleys and old villas… Oneida’s eyes darkened as an idea sprouted in her mind. She got into car and sped away from Garrison Mansion.

While driving. Oneida’s demeanor remained calm, the map of jeahron forming in her mind–all the roads and regions.

Suddenly, her expression charged. Oneida knew where Jonas was! She rapidly turned the steering wheel, the car making an abrupt U–turn.

Oneida now had a clear destination. But the current problem was that if she went there rashly, it would undoubtedly alarm Jonas. Someone as cautious as him probably had spies planted.

Even the slightest approach would tip hin.

how could she approach them without alerting him?

Oneida pondered for a moment before giving up the idea. It was almost impossible not to alarm Jonas. So, she decided to take a gamble that Jonas would want to see her!

With resolution. Oneida directed her car toward her destination. Soon, she arrived at a maze of winding alleys.

Here, cars couldn’t proceed any further, so she parked and continued on foot.

Oneida quickly made her way through the alleys. Despite the twists and turns that could easily lead one astray, finding the right direction wasn’t difficult for her.

Before long, she found the notorious dilapidated villa

At the entrance, someone had been waiting there for a while. Squinting her eyes, Oneida pressed her lips into a thin line.

Standing at the doorway was Jonas. He leaned on his cane, expressionless. His handsome, delicate features were ghostly pale, giving him an oddly fragile appearance.

Suddenly, Jonas smiled, and his features softened a bit. His long, narrow eyes glinted with an inexplicable light. Staring intensely at Oneida, his gaze was deep as the sea

“Long time no see. The man’s thin lips moved slowly as he uttered these four words.

Jonas’s voice hadn’t changed, but there was an air of weariness to it.

He looked at Oneida with a half–smile, not saying anything further. Oneida met his gaze, her expression cold and sharp.

She knew she had won her gamble. Jonas indeed was willing to see her. Otherwise, she might have been intercepted by his men as soon as she stepped into the alley.

The fact that she made it here meant Jonas had given her a pass. And he had received the message early enough to wait here himself.

That’s why Oneida insisted on coming alone, refusing to have anyone tag along. If she had brought people, Jonas would likely have refused to see her. Coming alone reduced a lot of trouble.
