Chapter The Second Act 256
Chapter 256
The accident Oneida encountered this time made Jackson realize his feelings clearly.
He had feelings for Oneida..
He didn't like to see her get close to other men. He liked her to stay clingy with him and call his name sweetly. He didn't want her to be aggrieved or sad but just wanted to see her bright smile. Every move of hers always attracted him.
He didn't reject physical contact with b

Jackson closed his eyes.
On the contrary, he even longed for that.
Consciously gotten into his heart long ago.
The light in his eyes flickered under the
starry sky.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Mr. Bane, it's me."
Victor's voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Jackson's thought.
"Come in."
Jackson raised his eyes slightly, and the emotions in his eyes disappeared instantly. He became indifferent as usual again.
Victor pushed the door open and saw Jackson sitting on the balcony.
He frowned and asked confusedly, "Mr. Bane, it's so late. Why are you still up?"
Victor didn't want to disturb Jackson, but he saw Oneida suddenly come out of Jackson's bedroom, so he was a little confused, curious, and even worried. Then he couldn't help coming to check on Jackson.
Jackson lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and looked calm.
"Mr. Bane, Mrs. Bane is..." Victor hesitated.
He thought, 'Why did Mr. Bane let her leave?
'She doesn't need any antidote anymore?'
Jackson said calmly, "She's fine now."
Victor thought, 'Already? That's really fast.
Although he looked calm, he had plenty of questions in his mind.
"Victor."
Jackson suddenly called his name in a deep voice.

Chapter 250
His tone was deep and serious.
Victor noticed his seriousness and also said seriously, "Yes, Mr. Bane."
"About Cece..." Jackson slightly frowned and said.
Victor immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bane. I have been investigating the whereabouts of Cece and never slackened off. I believe there will be good news soon." "That's not what I meant." Jackson lowered his eyes. His face looked mysterious and pure in the moonlight.
"You still have to keep looking for Cece, but you don't need to report it to me weekly anymore," Jackson ordered in a deep voice, sounding like a sigh.
Victor thought, 'Don't need to report it weekly anymore?
'Does that mean..."
Victor was slightly stunned. Complicated emotions surged in his eyes.
He thought, Is Mr. Bane finally gonna let it go?
No matter whether there was any progress or discovery about Cece's whereabouts, Victor must report it to Jackson every week.
Most of the time, his report remained the same.
Because there was no new progress, so he could only report the same content again.
But Jackson never got tired of them.
Cece was his obsession.
Such a report
had also become his shackle.
Victor thought, 'After all the years, is Mr. Bane finally gonna give up?"
"Mr. Bane, are you..." Victor's eyes widened slightly. "Are you gonna let it go?"
He looked relieved and said, "You should have done that long ago. It's better to cherish the present than to think about the
past.
"Mr. Bane, I know you have feelings for Mrs. Bane. It might be better to pay more attention to her, right?"
Jackson sat in his wheelchair and didn't say anything.
Silence surrounded him.
He was as deep and quiet as the dark sky behind him. "Maybe."
After a long while, he finally said that.
Hearing this, Victor was overjoyed.
He thought, 'Mr. Bane has finally convinced himself!
'It's definitely a good thing.
Chapter 250
'He has been suffering so much these years.
'Others might not know it, but as his right-hand man, I've seen everything.

'He was disgusted by his father, his legs were disabled by his illegitimate brothers, and he kept being suppressed in the Bane family. Even though he finally had someone who he cared about, he lost her and still couldn't find her after all these years. 'Even though Mr. Bane has become extremely powerful now, I know that it has taken him unimaginable effort to become like this.
'He has suffered so much, and it's time for him to enjoy something sweet.
'Mrs. Bane is the one who can bring him sweetness!
Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Bane, have you told Mrs. Bane your feelings?"
Jackson lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Not yet."
Then his eyes flickered and he added, "I'm afraid of scaring her."
Victor looked at Jackson speechlessly and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Bane, you should tell her your feelings as soon as possible."
Jackson looked straight at Victor and asked, "What do you think should do?"

The next morning, Oneida got up early.
She walked out of the room and was about to go to the dining room for breakfast.
Suddenly, she heard a harsh uproar.
She seemed to have heard Fiona's voice.
Then Oneida walked out of the door.
She wanted to see what had happened in the garden.
When she saw the scene outside, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Jackson was sitting in the wheelchair with a cold and serious expression.
Victor was standing behind him, looking cold as well.
Someone was kneeling in front of them.
It was Fiona.
She knelt on the ground with her head down and was trembling
There was another maid kneeling beside her.
Except for them, Carlos and the other servants were also standing aside and watching them.
Obviously, Fiona and the maid beside her had done something terribly wrong and irritated Jackson so that they were kneeling in the middle so embarrassedly and were laughed at and watched by the crowd.
"Mr. Bane, it wasn't me. I didn't do anything!" Fiona bit her lip and couldn't help looking up at Jackson's indifferent face. "I

was wronged. It really has nothing to do with me!"
She said that with tears streaming down her cheeks, looking pitiful.
Suddenly, Fiona turned to look at the maid beside her and said sharply, "She did it, Mr. Bane. She didn't like Mrs. Bane, so she came up with such a dirty trick and wanted to let Mrs. Bane be raped. It has nothing to do with me. She did it herself!" Fiona cried sadly and shifted all the responsibility to the maid beside her.

The maid's eyes immediately widened with astonishment and resentment when she heard that. She said in disbelief, "Fiona, how could you be so shameless?! You asked me to help you! If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk and used Mr. Bane's phone to text Mrs. Bane!"
