Chapter 268 

There seemed to be a piercing storm in his eyes, which was enough to swallow everything. 

No one noticed that there was an undercurrent between Jonas and Jackson. 

In the end, Jonas couldn’t stand it and took the lead in looking away. 

‘What does Jackson mean?‘ wondered Jonas. 

On the other side. 

Oneida saw that Ruth was fine, so she said goodbye to everyone, “Mrs. Ruth Bane is safe and sound attention to her nutrition in the future. I have something else to do. I’ll leave first.” 

Seeing that she was about to leave, everyone became polite. 

now. You should pay 

“Dr. Ryan, are you leaving now? I haven’t entertained you yet,” Lionel said gently with sincerity in his eyes. 

Ruth also said in a low voice, “Dr. Ryan, you saved my life. Please stay here for a while and let everyone entertain you.” 

Oneida didn’t want to stay. 

The longer she stayed here, the greater the risk. 

“Thank you for your hospitality, but I do have something to deal with, so I won’t continue disturbing you.” Oneida’s tone was firm and decisive. 

Since she said so, Lionel and Ruth didn’t force her to stay anymore. 

“In that case, I’ll walk you out myself.” Lionel planned to send Oneida to the door in person, which was his last insistence. 

Oneida sighed in a low voice and no longer refused. 

She turned and walked toward the door. 

At that moment, the room was full of people. 

She could feel that several eyes fell on her from all directions. 

Some people stared at her coldly, while others looked at her disdainfully. 

Oneida curled her lips slightly. 

Without looking at them, she knew that it must be Claude and Jonas. 

They always hated her. 

She walked straight forward, unexpectedly… 

She didn’t pay attention to her feet and she tripped over something. 

Oneida suddenly became unsteady and fell straight forward. 

She wanted to keep her balance, so she could only move as far to the right as possible. 

However, Jonas was standing on the right.

He was looking at her with a half–smile, and his eyes were terribly cold. 

Oneida felt a chill in her heart. 

She didn’t want to touch Jonas! 

It was better for her to fall down hard than touch this man. 

Thinking of this, Oneida abandoned herself and let herself fall straight in the original direction. 

All of a sudden, she felt herself spinning. 

Oneida only felt that her wrist was grasped by a powerful force. 

Immediately after, she fell over a person. 

Oneida quietly looked at the person in front of her. It was Jackson.. 

She fell into Jackson’s arms by accident. 

At that moment, she was sitting firmly on Jackson’s lap. 

This was not the first time Oneida had sat on Jackson’s lap. 

But she was Oneida at that time, and now she was Rosie. 

It was a complete stranger to Jackson. 

All of a sudden, the whole bedroom was silent. 

Everyone looked at Jackson and Oneida silently without saying anything. 

Oneida was looking at the man in front of her. 

Jackson stared at her with a deep look. 

Oneida felt that she seemed to be indulging in his eyes. 

Her heart raced inexplicably. 

For a moment, her heart was beating like a drum. 

They were too close. 

Oneida thought that Jackson might have noticed it from such a close distance. 

She stood up subconsciously, trying to distance herself from Jackson. 

Unexpectedly, something more unexpected happened. 

In a flurry, Oneida pulled her veil accidentally. 

Without warning, her veil loosened and slid slowly from her cheeks. 

In an instant, the veil had slipped over her nose… 

Oneida’s eyes suddenly widened, and she was frightened. 

Damn!

Chapter 268 

Perhaps she would be completely exposed herself in front of so many people! 

At such a critical moment, Oneida focused her attention and a needle flew out of her fingertips. 

The needle flew straight to the light switch. 

Smack! 

The lights were suddenly turned off. 

The whole bedroom was suddenly plunged into darkness. 

“What’s going on?” Claude was the first to lose his temper and shout loudly, “Why does it suddenly bláack out?” 

His voice sounded loud, but there was a faint fear in his tone. 

“Maybe the light is broken. Don’t panic!” After all, Lionel had seen the world and was not flustered at all. He calmly comforted everyone. 

Oneida took advantage of the darkness and got up immediately from Jackson. 

She reached out, tidied up her veil, and turned to leave. 

Unexpectedly… 

Her wrist was grasped again. 

She could feel the coldness and incomparable strength of his fingertips. 

Then, an indifferent and low voice sounded near her ear. The 

person 

asked in 

a voice that only the two of them could hear, 

“Have we met before?” 

It was Jackson’s voice. 

He was questioning her. 

Oneida pursed her lips and said nothing. 

She was not sure what Jackson had sensed. 

Did he know that she was Oneida? 

Was he sounding her out, or was he really asking her? 

Countless thoughts crossed Oneida’s mind. She narrowed her eyes and decided to leave first! 

“Of course not.” 

Oneida responded in a low voice, then shook off Jackson’s wrist unexpectedly, and disappeared into the darkness at an extremely fast speed. 

When the lights turned on again, everyone realized that Rosie had disappeared. 

She seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and there was no sign of her in the whole room. 

“Where is Dr. Ryan? Why is she gone?” Ruth frowned and asked in confusion. 

Lionel was also confused about how Dr. Ryan left in such a dark situation…

No wonder she was an untraceable highly skilled doctor. 

E 

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. He had wanted to have a good talk with Rosie, but it seemed that there was no chance. 

No one noticed that Jackson was staring at the door. 

It seemed that he was looking at something. 

He looked at it for a while and narrowed his 

eyes slightly. 

Rosie… 

He felt it was necessary for him to investigate Rosie. 

Oneida quietly left the Bane manor and then returned to Mount Esterwilde without being noticed. 

She put on the clothes she used to wear in the Bane manor. 

And then… 

After she walked for a while, a deep and cold voice sounded in her ear. There seemed to be some excitement in his tone, “Mrs. Bane?” 

It was Victor’s voice. 

Oneida turned her head and was about to see in which direction Victor was. 

Unexpectedly, Victor quickly approached her. 

“Mrs. Bane, are you okay?” Victor looked at her worriedly with a frown.
