Nonetheless, she did not see Jackson anywhere after looking through the entire Garrison Mansion.
Finally, a maid kindly reminded her that Jackson had entered the study early in the morning and had not come out yet.
Hearing that, Oneida rushed to the study and was about to knock on the door.
"Mrs. Bane." Victor suddenly appeared and walked over from the other end of the corridor slowly.
"Mr. Jackson Bane is alone in the study now. You know, he likes a quiet environment and doesn't like to be disturbed now," Victor said with a calm expression.
The meaning of his words was obvious enough.
Jackson did not want to see anyone now, including Oneida.
Oneida lowered her eyes slightly, and a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes.
"What's wrong with Jackson?" she wondered.
During her stay in Garrison Mansion, he had always taken good care of her and respected her, but now, suddenly...
Oneida shook her head subtly.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Victor and answered in a low voice, "I see."
She hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Please relay a message to him that I'm going to attend the intensive training. I may be away for a month. Ask him to take good care of himself." After saying that, Oneida left without looking back.
She did not want to speculate what Jackson was thinking.
For Oneida, the worst case might be that he was still thinking about the mysterious lover, so he began to ignore her as his wife.
Thinking of that, Oneida's eyes twitched unwittingly.
She sighed imperceptibly and returned to her room.
On the other side, Victor walked into Jackson's study.
In the large study, the sunshine poured in through the window.
Jackson sat gracefully next to the bright bookshelf.
The man was holding a book in a foreign language with his slender, fair fingers.
He just sat there quietly in the wheelchair. His side profile looked calm and cold, and his facial features were well-defined. He looked noble and handsome, with a faint layer of light engulfing him. Victor approached carefully and called him in a low voice, "Mr. Jackson Bane."
Jackson hummed in response without raising his eyes.
"Mrs. Bane said that she would leave Garrison Mansion for a month to attend the intensive training." He reported in detail what Oneida told him.
Hearing that, Jackson frowned slightly.
His deep and calm eyes finally showed a hint of emotion.
"When will she leave?" Jackson asked, his thin lips slightly moving and his gaze fixed on a spot.
"She should be leaving in a moment," Victor replied.
Jackson froze for a second, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his handsome face.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally closed the book in his hand and ordered Victor in a powerful tone, "Push me out."

Victor nodded and immediately pushed Jackson out of the study.
Unfortunately, Oneida had left.
She got into the exclusive luxury car of the Bane family and left Garrison Mansion.
Jackson looked motionlessly in the direction of the car through the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
He was like a silent sculpture as he looked at the car intently and persistently.
It was true that he was avoiding Oneida because of what happened last night.
It was not that he did not want to see her.
Instead, he did not know how to face her.
He wanted to ask her about Christopher, but it was hard to say it.
Therefore, it upset him. On top of that, he was in a bad mood.
So, he avoided seeing her.

However, when he heard the news that she was leaving, the indifferent front he put up to avoid her suddenly disappeared.
He wanted to see her and remind her of something.
Unfortunately, it was still too late.
"Send someone to watch over and protect her." Jackson lowered his eyes, and his handsome face returned to its usual indifference. There were no longer any emotions on his face. "Sure." Victor nodded solemnly.
Oneida did not know what happened to Garrison Mansion after she left.
She went to Imperial Star University first.
The news that Starr Training Camp was about to commence soon had spread all over the campus.
Almost everyone was gossiping about who the super genius selected by Starr Training Camp was that year.
When Oneida walked into the classroom, the attention from Rowan and everyone in the class suddenly shifted to her.
"Oneida!" Rowan, who always found her an eyesore, looked at her excitedly at the moment. "I just received the news that you are selected by Starr Training Camp. Congratulations!" Rowan had never expected Oneida, who was regarded as a country bumpkin, to have such a promising future.
That was definitely unprecedented and the first time in history.
Previously, there was no precedent for Regular Class students to be enrolled in Starr Training Camp, and it would be impossible for it to happen again in the future.
After all, the quota of Starr Training Camp made every super genius of Starlight Class fight their brains out. None from the Regular Class would have had the chance for it before.
"You must study hard when you're there, okay?" Rowan looked at her with a smile and spoke in a kind and gentle tone that she rarely
Other students looked at Oneida intently with surprise and admiration in their eyes.
In their eyes, Oneida had become a talented super genius, whose talent was yet to be discovered.
heard.
"By the way, in addition to you, there is another person in our class who is going to Starr Training Camp." Rowan could not help laughing. Of course, she was thrilled, as she had two young geniuses in her class unexpectedly. Hearing that, Oneida frowned slightly as she mused, "There's another one?"
In addition to herself, there was another person in Regular Class A who was going to Starr Training Camp.
She froze for a moment.

"Could it be... Oneida had someone in mind.
The other students were also surprised to hear that.
"Is there another one? Who is that?"
"Apart from Oneida, who else is so talented? I can't think of anyone...
Rowan looked at the back of the classroom with a faint smile of relief. "The other one who is going is Matthias." Oneida also looked in the direction of Matthias.
The handsome and tall boy was still wearing a white shirt. His face was delicate and elegant but slightly pale. Matthias had just returned from sick leave and did not seem to have fully recovered yet.
Oneida had already figured it out.
The other person could only be Matthias.
In Regular Class A, Matthias was a real dark horse.
Hearing that, everyone could not help but widen their eyes in surprise. Someone even sized Matthias up undisguisedly.
"How could it be this little monster? He's autistic..."
"Matthias? Did I hear it right? Is he so terrific?"
"No wonder they sit together. Geniuses cherish each other."
While the crowd was gossiping, Oneida walked to her seat slowly.
Matthias happened to look up at her.
A trace of strangeness suddenly flashed across his beautiful and clear eyes.
It was fleeting, and Matthias soon returned to his normal state.
He looked away unnaturally and stopped looking at her.
Oneida sat down quietly.
Nonetheless, she could not help but speculate inwardly.
She always felt that there was something wrong with Matthias when he came back from illness.
"Matthias," Oneida turned around and called him in a low voice calmly. "How did you get chosen by Starr Training Camp?"
The way Starr Training Camp selected anyone would never be in a flashy manner.
They would either choose talents from Starlight Class, a place full of geniuses, or observe secretly on the campus for a suitable candidate. Matthias must have done something to have Starr Training Camp interested in him.
