08.26 Sat, Chapter 301 +5 Seeing Oneida reâenter the room, Jackson gestured for her to come closer, a gentle expression in his eyes. âCome here.â
Oneida didnât look happy, seemingly sulking over Jacksonâs reluctance to give her a clear answer.
But seeing Jackson beckon to her, she couldnât help but walk over, asking indifferently, âWhat is it?â
Jackson suddenly reached out and pulled Oneida closer.
Taken by surprise, she ended up leaning against the bed, with Jacksonâs strikingly handsome face right in front of her.
âYou-â Oneidaâs eyes widened slightly, momentarily at a loss for words.
âIda, my wound hasnât healed yet, so Iâll need to trouble you in the days ahead,â Jackson said with a subtle, meaningful smile.
Oneida was momentarily stunned.
Seeing his smile, her heart seemed to soften instantly.
âYou, donât move-â She instructed, glancing at Jackson. âOr it wonât help your recovery.â
Jackson obediently released her arm and lay still, his deep eyes fixed on her. âAlright, Iâll listen to you.â
His low, cool voice, like the sound of a cello, was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.
Unknowingly, Oneidaâs cheeks flushed slightly.
âThis guy is really unpredictable,â she thought to herself.
Victor, observing the scene, felt a touch of embarrassment.
He felt like a giant third wheel and, with a momentâs hesitation, quietly slipped out of sight.
Soon, Oneida and Jackson left the Bane manor and returned to Garrison Mansion. Upon their return, Jackson was immediately taken to his bedroom to rest.
Meanwhile, Oneida returned to her own room as she received a call from Simon.
âBoss, somethingâs gone wrong with Paragon Group. Their internal system is wide open with no protection, so our people took advantage and harvested quite a bit,â Simon reported over the phone.
Hearing this, Oneida narrowed her eyes.
Though the Aphotic Group and Paragon Group never got along there had never been a largeâscale conflict.
Now, Aphotic Group had taken advantage of Paragon Groupâs vulnerability to raid their system, which was tantamount to declaring war.
âWhy didnât you stop them?â Oneida frowned, her tone displeased.
âI was against it, but they acted on their own.â Simon sensed her displeasure and spoke cautiously.
âIdiots!â Oneidaâs eyes narrowed, her voice cold. âIf youâre going to do something bad, donât do it so openly under Aphotic Groupâs name! Now weâve completely antagonized Paragon Group!â
Oneidaâs face darkened, her expression cold.
08:26 Sat, Dec 7 G.
Chapter 301 She had no desire for a deepâseated conflict with Paragon Group as their power was formidable.
And their leader, Evan, was someone she was particularly wary Now, because of this incident, the Aphotic Group had essentially declared war on the Paragon Group, What the future held was unknown.
Oneida gripped her phone tightly, falling silent.
She wasnât afraid, though.
