Chapter 331: Chapter 331

Chapter 331 “You don’t need to explain or cry,” Jackson said with a cool detachment in his voice. “The you from before wouldn’t act like this. You wouldn’t cry so easily, nor would you show weakness so readily.”

That’s right, the Cece of the past was always strong and resilient in his eyes. That was what he admired about her.

But now, Cece only made him feel torn and alienated.

“Jackson, I’ll stop crying if you forgive me,” Cece muttered in self pity, seemingly trying to strike a deal with Jackson.

Jackson’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Cece, that’s not the point,” he said, looking down with somber eyes deeply fixed on her. “I’m going to arrange a new place for you to live. There will be a beautiful house and delicious food.”

“I don’t want that,” Cece exclaimed, her eyes widening in panic. This time, she was truly rattled.

From what Jackson was saying, he intended to send her away from Garrison Mansion. Away from his side!

“Jackson, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to leave.” Cece’s tears betrayed her again, cascading down her face in an instant. “I side.” want to stay by your Jackson was also looking at Cece. His deep–set eyes appeared serene, without a ripple.

“When there’s a chance, I’ll come to visit you.” In the end, that was all he said.

“Jackson!” Cece shook her head frantically, trying to make Jackson change his mind, “I won’t be like this anymore. I promise I’ll live in peace with Oneida. I won’t provoke her. I swear!” She sounded earnest and sincere.

But Cece didn’t realize that once a man like Jackson made up his mind, he wouldn’t change it.

Jackson didn’t want to see a repeat of today’s events. So the best solution was to keep Cece and Oneida apart.

“Cece, I’ve made up my mind.” his lips moved ever so slightly, his expression serene but his words resolute and unyielding Listening to him, Cece knew she couldn’t turn the situation around. She bit her lip hard, her expression desolate.

The Second Act 330 Yet, she didn’t want to go! She didn’t want to leave at all.

“Rest up for now. In a couple of days, I’ll take you to the new place,” Jackson said with a chilled, deep tone, before turning and leaving the bedroom.

Cece was left alone on the bed, tears streaming down her face non–stop.

She never imagined that just a day after arriving at Garrison Mansion, she’d be sent away by Jackson.

As Jackson stepped out of the bedroom, Victor immediately came to greet him. The man’s complexion wasn’t exactly cheerful. With a chilled tone, Jackson commanded Victor, “Go check again.”

Victor was momentarily stunned. “Mr. Bane, what are you looking to investigate?” About Cece.” Jackson narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke lightly.

Victor paused, then quickly pressed on, “Are we continuing the investigation of Cece?”

1/2 Chapter 331 “But,” he continued thoughtfully, “I’ve been searching for Cece for so long, and she indeed matches all the aspects we’re looking for. I can’t see any other possibility.”

Jackson pursed his lips, silent for a moment.

After a brief silence, he said, “Keep looking, I want to be absolutely sure.”

Years had passed, and Cece might feel like a stranger or might have changed drastically. Yet, he still couldn’t believe she would change so completely. She changed to the point where he even felt some distaste.

So, he needed to delve deeper into the investigation.

When it came to Cece, he couldn’t allow the slightest fault.
