Chapter 99
Oneida sat in the nearest VIP seat to Charles.
It was said to be a fan meeting, but it should be a personal concert of Charles.
He was an unparalleled musical genius. He played well with instruments and sang very well.
He sat there quietly, playing the guitar and singing, and the fans were so mesmerized that they couldn’t pull themselves out.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the fan meeting ended very soon.
Charles didn’t have much interaction with his fans. He just played and sang on his own. Most of the time, he was a person with a sense of distance, like a distant star.
Of course, he was a completely different person in front of Oneida. He was unbelievably gentle.
After the fan meeting, Charles was about to drive Oneida home by himself.
Sitting in the car, the man blinked his beautiful eyes and asked Oneida with a smile, “Do I sing well?”
Seeing him looking at her so expectantly, Oneida certainly wouldn’t want to be a buzzkill, so she said solemnly, “Yes. You sing well
Charles laughed out loud. “Can’t you just praise me more? Alas… Forget it.” He withdrew his gaze. As if he was naggy, he said again, “Some of the songs were specifically sung for you.”
Hearing this, Oneida was slightly surprised. “Really?”
“Of course.” Charles‘ handsome face was reflected in the dim light, looking particularly good. “Otherwise, why would I send you the ticket to specifically ask you to attend my fan meeting?”
With that, Charles reached out his “claw” to Oneida’s head and rubbed it vigorously.
Oneida was already used to it.
However, she began to worry about whether her hair would be bald because of Charles‘ rubs.
Seeing the time was getting late, Oneida urged Charles to drive and reported her destination, “Send me back to Garrison Mansion in Wuthering Town.”
Charles frowned and asked, “Don’t you live in Quakersville?”
Oneida hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth. “Uncle Charles, I’m married.”
Charles‘ face stiffened, and a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.
“You got married at such a young age?”
Oneida retorted calmly, “I’m not that young, am I?”
Charles fixed his eyes on her and said, “But you are a child in my heart.” After saying that, he couldn’t help but frown, and his face became serious. “The Chaser family asked you to marry so early? Is it because of that engagement?” Charles‘ face darkened even more when he spoke of this. Then, he continued “If it’s to fulfill the engagement… I remember the man from the Bane family has problems with his legs, and he doesn’t look good, either?”
Oneida didn’t expect that Charles would know all about it.

“It’s indeed because of the engagement, she admitted.
Charles clenched his fists, and his eyes were suddenly filled with coldness. “Did they force you?” he asked.
Oneida immediately shook her head. “No… I volunteered.”
“Volunteered?” Charles repeated her words internally. He didn’t seem to understand Oneida’s thoughts.
Oneida didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so she called him in a low voice, “Uncle Charles. Don’t worry. I’m doing well.”
Charles stared at her thoughtfully as if thinking about the truth in Oneida’s words.

After a long time, he sighed gently, “Just let me know if you’re not living well. I’ll immediately go to your door, beat Jackson up, make him unable to take care of himself, let him beg for divorce, and make him leave the marriage with nothing!”
Oneida couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed to be quite funny to imagine Jackson in this scene.
“Okay,” She responded with a smile.
Finally, Charles drove Oneida to the entrance of Garrison Mansion.
He didn’t plan to go in. “I heard that Jackson had mobility difficulty. He likes quietness and doesn’t like to see people. So, I won’t go in.”
In fact, Charles was afraid he would be unable to control his desire to beat Jackson up as soon as he
got
- in.
He thought, “He has a physical disability, but why must he drag Oneida to jump into his miserable situation?”
Charles felt disdain and thought Jackson was nothing more than that.
Oneida didn’t say anything more but only answered, “Okay.”
After getting out of the car and seeing the cool Ferrari getting farther, she slowly walked to the door of Garrison Mansion.
At the door, there was a sound of a wheelchair rubbing against the ground.
Oneida noticed it keenly.
“Wheelchair… Did Jackson come out to pick me up in person?” she wondered.
Indeed, she came back a bit late today.
Thinking of this, Oneida couldn’t help but feel a little happy.
She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
As expected, the tall and handsome man was sitting in a wheelchair and facing her.
Oneida couldn’t see his face and expression clearly in the dim light.
He was like a silent statue full of mystery.
She smiled slightly and walked quickly over. “Jackson, why did you come out?”
When she was at a distance of only three feet from Jackson, Oneida’s mind was suddenly full of alerts.
The perilous life all year round made her very sensitive to danger.

At this moment, an inexplicable and dangerous atmosphere struck.
Oneida’s nerves tensed subconsciously, and she made a defensive gesture.
She suddenly realized that the man sitting in the wheelchair in front of her might not be Jackson!
However, it was too late.

A vigorous black shadow suddenly appeared behind her when she was about to retreat. The mysterious figure unexpectedly stuck a thin and long syringe needle into Oneida’s neck.
It was an anesthetic, and the concentration was very high.
Although it was not fatal, it was enough to put Oneida out of action.
Oneida clenched her fists but still couldn’t resist the effect of the anesthetic. She tilted and fell to the ground weakly.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she saw the wheelchair in front of her and the tall man standing up. His vague cheeks were exposed to the bright moonlight.
It was not Jackson but a completely unfamiliar face.
He was very smart.
He unexpectedly pretended to be Jackson to attract her.
Only Jackson would let her drop her guard.
In a normal situation, she wouldn’t be tricked so easily…
Thinking of this, Oneida finally fell into a deep sleep and became unconscious.
The man behind her pulled the syringe needle out of Oneida’s neck and ordered the man who pretended to be Jackson, “Hurry up and lift her. Don’t let the boss wait for too long.”
“Okay.” The man nodded. Then, he reached out to pick up Oneida and carried her on his shoulder.
At Garrison Mansion, Jackson had been in the study all day.
When he finished his last job, the hour hand pointed at ten o’clock.
He operated the wheelchair, left the study, and went straight to Oneida’s bedroom.
Except for the short glimpse in the morning, he hadn’t seen Oneida for a whole day.
He wanted to see if Oneida was really upset. If she had already slept, he would see if she was sleeping well…
Thinking of this, Jackson pushed the door open.
However, it was empty inside.
It seemed that Oneida had never come back at all.
