The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 

“Mr. Banel” Fiona almost screamed, her eyes wide with disbelief as she gazed at him. 

If she was forbidden from approaching the villa and only allowed to work at the tranor, didn’t it mean she would become a gardener 

Would she ever have the chance to approach Jackson again? 

For him, she didn’t hesitate to stay in Garrison Mansion to be a maid. 

For him, she swallowed her pride and became servile. 

But over these years, he barely talked to her, and now he was even punishing her. 

“Mr. Bane, I was wrong. Fiona sniffled, her eyes reddening, and tears seemed ready to stream down any moment. “I shouldn’t have lied. I won’t do it again.” 

But Jackson looked away, no longer making eye contact with her 

“Leave now he spoke in a chilling tone. 

“Mr. Bane… Fiona’s tears finally ran down her cheeks. 

Victor quickly warned her sternly. “Better leave now, or I’ll have someone escort you out.” 

Fiona’s expression froze, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes. 

Knowing nothing would change his mind, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and slowly stood up from the bed. 

With reluctance, she glanced one last time at Jackson before leaving the bedroom. 

After Fiona lefi, Gavin immediately asked Jackson in a low voice. “Mr. Bane, how are you feeling? Are you feeling alright?” 

“I’m fine.” Jackson said expressionlessly, his gaze slowly turning to Victor. ‘Go get her over here. 

Victor got the hint immediately that Jackson wanted him to get Oneida. 

“Yes. Victor respectfully responded. 

Oneida was in her room now 

Thinking back to that scene just now, she couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows. 

She suddenly left because she didn’t want to stay there any longer to watch Jackson and Fiona interact. 

But after getting out of there, she felt a bit of regret. 

Being the legit wife, why should she be the one to leave? 

She should have rightfully driven Fiona away. 

While she was pondering, someone knocked on her door. 

“Mrs. Bane, it’s me. Victor’s cold voice sounded from outside. 

Without responding to him. Oneida directly went to open the door.

“What is it?” She lookedar Victor with a plain look, her foreheadinged with a hint of weariness, 

Victor showell her a polite slight smile. “Mrs. Bane, Mr. Hane wits to see you. He has something to tell your

Victor understood that Oneida might not want to go because she had just been slighted by Fiona, so he added, “Mrs. Bane, Mr. Bane knows all about your contributions. He just wants to se you now. 

“He wouldn’t have allowed Fiona to stay in the bedroom if she ldn’t lied to him about looking after him for three days and nights. Mrs. Bane, don’t take it to heart. Mr. Bane has already handled it” 

Oneida finally got the gist of the situation. 

As it turned out, Fiona had actually made up such a ridiculous lie 

Oneida didn’t dwell on it any longer and nodded promptly. “Alright, I’ll go see him.” 

Oneida went back to Jackson’s bedroom. 

As she walked in, both Gavin and Victor discretely left the room 

Only Jackson and Oneida were left alone.

Bathed in the soft sunlight that cast a golden halo around him, Jackson was half–sitting on the bed 

h was rare to see. 

When he saw Oneida approaching, a vague weak smile flashed on her lips, which was 

Jackson was smiling. 

Oneida had rarely seen him smile. 

But now, Oneida caught a fleeting smile at the corner of his lips. 

His smile was as tender and alluring as a soft, comforting wind. 

“Come here.” He was beckoning her again.. 

Oneida didn’t move but softly asked, “Jackson, your injury.” 

“It’s OK now,” Jackson said calmly, with a pain–free look as if he was completely healed. He fixed her gaze at her. “Come over 

here? 

Without a word, Oneida moved closer to the bed. 

She looked down at him. When she was about to speak, Jackson spoke, “Thank you.” 

His eyes, deep and shimmering like distant stars, were fixed on her. “I don’t know what exactly happened while I was. unconscious, but I could feel someone was beside me. She fed me water, touched the palm of my hand, and told me to get 

better soon. 

“Lapologized about what happened just now,” Jackson suddenly said. 

Was he apologizing? 

Oneida’s eyes widened slightly, a trace of surprise crossing them 

“I should have thanked you right away.” His lips barely moved as he spoke in a low voice.

“Jackson, no, Oneida abruptly muttered and shook her head. 

She instinctively crouched down and tilted her head like a little girl, gazing up at him. “I owe you an apology too. 

“I mistook Christopher to have helped Edmund, so I invited him to dinner 

“Jackson. I owe you a meal.” She suddenly chuckled as she spoke
