The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 

After all, my current state was just too shabby, Edmund though 

Edmund pursed his lips slightly, suddenly feeling a bit at a loss. 

He instinctively lowered his gaze, concealing his emotions. 

“Are you okay!” Oneida, noting his unease, couldn’t help but ask 

She looked at Edmund with gentle eyes, a hint of worry flashing her gaze. 

Edmund tugged at the corner of his mouth, forcing a faint smile 

He didn’t want Oneida to worry too much. 

“I’m okay, Oneida,” he said calmly, as if nothing had happened. 

In the presence of his closest sister, he appeared particularly composed. 

But Oneida knew he was just putting on a brave front. 

“Edmund, tell me what happened?” She sighed imperceptibly, her tone gentle. 

Regardless, getting to the truth and figuring out how to rescue Edmund were her top priorities right now. 

At her words, Edmund’s gaze darkened slightly 

His lips were pressed into a straight line, his gaze tangled and murky. 

For a moment, he said nothing. 

The two suddenly fell into silence. 

Oneida didn’t press him, just quietly watched Edmund, seemingly waiting for him to speak the truth himself. 

“Oneida. Finally, after a moment of silence, Edmund called her in a soft tone. 

“I’m here,” Oneida immediately responded, her gaze intense as she looked at him. 

“Do you believe me?” he asked softly, his deep eyes shaded with darkness. 

He was really afraid that Oneida wouldn’t believe him either. 

“Of course, I believe you,” Oneida replied without hesitation, her voice resolute. 

She looked at Edmund with unwavering determination, her voice carrying a reassuring strength 

Hearing Oneida say this, Edmund’s eyes suddenly brightened a bit. 

Oneida still believes in me, Edmund thought. 

“I believe in you, but you also need to tell me the whole story so I can help clear your name, Oneida continued, her eyes 

of concert 

Edmund subconsciously clenched his fists. 

His deep eyes fluctuated with changing emotions.

He didn’t know how to begin, 

Even if I speak, what can Oneida do? Edmund wondered. 

“Edmund, tell me everything you know, okay? Oneida gazed quietly into her brother’s eyes, her voice carrying a coaxing tone, hoping to coax everything out of him. 

“You probably heard about it before you came, Edmund said, levering 

his eyes, his face expressionless 

Tve heard bits and pieces, not the full story, and since you are involved, what you say carries more weight, Oneida responded calmly. 

“Why did the daughter of the convenience store owner frame you?” Oneida continued, 

As he heard this, a chilling coldness flashed through Edmund’s deep eyes. 

He clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with bitter resentiment. 

Edmund replied, “How would I know? I didn’t do anything. But she not only spread rumors but also got me sent to the police station.” 

Edmund’s eyes suddenly reddened, his gaze clouded with bewilderment and grievance. 

“She even claimed that I had ulterior motives towards her, that wanted to take advantage of the darkness and force her by the edge of the woods to…” 

His voice abruptly stopped, too embarrassed to continue. 

But the implication was crystal clear. 

The daughter of the convenience store owner insisted that Edmand had ill intentions towards her, intending to violate her. 

“I heard that she said she had evidence?” Oneida frowned worriedly before asking. 

Edmund’s eyes flashed with a faint gloom at her words. 

“Yes,” he replied heavily, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. 

Edmund continued, “She has my school badge. 

“Originally, it was dark, and she couldn’t see clearly who the man was that harassed her, but after the man left, she found my school badge at the scene. 

“So, she thought the man was me, but my school badge had been missing for a week, how would I know it would show up 

there? 

“And also, that night, the incident took place in the woods north of the convenience store. 1 just happened to pass by there that day and was caught on camera. 

“With both the surveillance footage and the school badge, Oneida, I can’t clear my name. Edmund lowered his head, his eyes red, pitiful, and helpless. 

“It really wasn’t me, but I don’t know why, all the evidence happens to point to me,” Edmund added. 

As Oneida listened, her heart tightened inexplicably. 

She had roughly figured out what had happened. 

To put it simply, the daughter of the convenience store owner was taken advantage
