Chapter 136: Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Chapter 136 At this moment, he was not in a wheelchair.

He stood upright, his figure tall and handsome.

He wore a simple black coat, his expression cold and solemn.

His slender fingers held a sniper rifle.

“Mr. Bane,” Victor called him respectfully as he stood behind Jackson. “How about you let me do this?”

Victor wanted Jackson to hand him the gun.

He did not expect Jackson to get revenge for Oneida by bringing a gun to visit Jennifer.

Jackson should have let Victor do such things.

Yet, Jackson insisted on seeing Jennifer in person and refused to let Victor interfere.

Jackson was not only the fourth son of the Bane family and the leader of Paragon Group but also an exceptional sniper.

Although there was a huge distance between them, Victor knew Jackson could shoot Jennifer right in the head.

However, Victor did not want Jackson to stain his hands with blood.

It was better to have Victor commit the act.

“Please give me the gun. I’ll keep an eye on Jennifer for you, Mr. Bane,” Victor said in a low voice after pursing his lips.

“No need.” Jackson’s expression was calm as he gazed out the window coldly.

Victor did not say anything else upon hearing this.

On the other side, Jennifer lay uneasily on the bed, feeling extremely nervous inside her ward in the hospital.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

She subconsciously curled into a ball, not daring to breathe.

“Are you hungry, Jenn? I brought you clam chowder.” Tatiana smiled lightly as she walked into the ward with a thermal lunchbox.

Behind her were Lucas, Edmund, and Christopher.

“It’s just them,” Jennifer thought.

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief.

She suddenly thought about confessing the truth to them.

Feeling frightened, Jennifer’s heart pounded heavily.

“How will they think of me? Will they think I’m heinous?” she wondered.

Tatiana noticed something was wrong with Jennifer and could not help but frown.

www www She hurriedly put the thermal lunchbox aside and approached the bed worriedly, asking, “What’s wrong, Jenn? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor.”

The others immediately surrounded the bed and looked at Jennifer with concern upon hearing Tatiana’s words.

Jennifer shook her head vigorously. “I wasn’t feeling unwell.”

“Then, what’s the matter?” Tatiana asked tenderly as she caressed Jennifer’s face.

Jennifer clenched her fingers.

She was nervous and afraid.

1/3 4:21 Chapter 136 Naturally, she did not want to tell the truth about her injury.

However, she knew the mysterious sniper was watching her every move and word.

Jennifer did not want to say it aloud, but she had to.

“Dad, Mom, Edmund, Christopher.” Jennifer stared at their faces hesitantly.

Then, she bit her lip and said with difficulty, “Sorry, I lied just now.”

“You lied?” Tatiana frowned in confusion. She did not understand what Jennifer meant.

The others were also puzzled.

Jennifer’s eyes turned red again.

This time, she was not acting.

She really wanted to cry.

Jennifer took a deep breath and finally confessed the truth. “Oneida didn’t push me down the stairs.”

“What did you say?” Tatiana’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“I fell on my own.” A tear rolled out of her eye, and Jennifer sniffled desperately. “Sorry for lying to you.”

Tatiana was utterly stunned and could not respond.

She did not expect the truth to be like this.

“Then, why didn’t you say it earlier?” Lucas was also dumbfounded. His eyes were wide open and filled with anger. “Why did you lie?”

He never thought his considerate and beautiful daughter would lie and frame others.

Lucas frowned and could not help clenching his fist.

Edmund was taken aback upon hearing this.

Anger rose in his clear eyes as he looked at Jennifer as Edmund spoke agitatedly. “So, you deliberately fell down the stairs and framed Oneida?”

Jennifer could not help but close her eyes upon hearing this.

She did not dare to look at everyone’s eyes and faces.

“I’m really disappointed in you,” Edmund said coldly. “Hurry and apologize to Oneida.”

The handsome young man’s expression was contorted, showing his fury.

www Lucas sighed and shook his head helplessly. “Oh, Jenn... How could you do such a thing? Because of you, I falsely accused Ida. She must be very dejected. You must apologize to her.”

Jennifer lay on the hospital bed and said in a trembling voice, “I–I just lost my mind. I didn’t know—”

“Lost your mind? I think you were scheming. Isn’t that right?” Edmund questioned icily.

Jennifer felt so guilty, and Edmund’s statement rendered her speechless.

Lucas looked angry and continued, “You shouldn’t have done this, Jenn. I must punish you. Not only will you have to apologize to Oneida, but you will also reflect on your mistakes in your room.”

Jennifer felt both embarrassed and frustrated.

She subconsciously looked up at Christopher.

Christopher also at her with a conflicted and cold look. The emotions within his dark pupils were unreadable.

“Christopher...” Jennifer called him instinctively.

Christopher’s eyes shuddered, and he suddenly said, “You were very wrong for this, Jenn.”

2/3 4:21 PM Chapter 136 It was the first time Christopher spoke to Jennifer so sternly.

The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)

The Second Act 135 Jennifer’s heart ached at that.

She was so afraid Christopher would think she was a bad person.

“Apologize to Oneida after you get discharged from the hospital.”

Christopher glanced at her helplessly as he spoke.

Everyone asked her to apologize to Oneida.

Jennifer bit her lips indignantly.

“It’s all because of that mysterious sniper. If he didn’t threaten me, I wouldn’t have ended up here!” she thought.

“Enough.” Just then, Tatiana, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

Even though she knew Jennifer was at fault for framing Oneida, Tatiana was still biased toward Jennifer.

Tatiana knew Jennifer was sensitive and fragile. Perhaps Jennifer did this because she thought Oneida would be a threat to her.

Tatiana could not bear to criticize Jennifer as she looked at her pale and delicate face.

“That’s enough. Stop talking now.” She breathed a long sigh. “Jennifer already knows she is wrong. All of you should let her rest properly.”

“Mom, aren’t you giving them unfair treatment?” Edmund’s eyes were cold, emitting an icy aura.

This was the first time he acted rebellious toward Tatiana
