The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
The Second Act 323

Chapter 323 399

"You're interrupting my meal. Cece narrowed her eyes, standing her ground as she locked gazes with Oneida. Her character was just like that-fearless and unyielding.

Oneida too, was looking at her, their eyes meeting head-on. For moment, no one spoke. The atmosphere grew tense and stiff. The maids, witnessing the standoff, couldn't help but frown at the display.

"At any rate," Oneida finally broke the silence, her lips parting as he spoke with a commanding air, "I expect you to remember your place. You are a guest; I am the host. The servans here are mine. You may enjoy their service, but do not mistreat them!" Oneida towered over the young girl, her gaze icy cold, "Because, you have no right to."

"You..." At her words, Cece clenched her teeth, her irritation surging anew. She thought, "This woman, being so blunt! Not sparing me a shred of dignity... What she means is clear-I'm just a guest, with no right to order her servants around' Cece fell silent for a moment, then, seeming to have thought of something, she slowly began, "Oneida, to tell you the truth, I don't want to fight with you." She lowered her eyes, her expression seemingly heartfelt. "After all, Jackson brought me back, surely he wants us to get along. If we keep fighting, Jackson will definitely be unhappy." With a sigh, Cece wore a facade of concern, as if she truly worried about how Jackson would feel.

Hearing this, Oneida's expression grew even darker. She thought This girl wants to stay at Garrison Mansion and gets along with me. She's living in a dream.' Oneida had intended to discuss Cece's future living arrangements with Jackson today, and staying in Garrison Mansion was out of the question. The best option was replaceing her another place to live, but she hadn't had the chance to speak with Jackson because he wasn't around.

While Oneida was lost in her thoughts, Cece's voice rose again, Jackson likes me a lot, he takes good care of me. I hope you won't make things difficult for me, otherwise, it would make him unhappy too." Cece looked up at Oneida, blinking those big eyes, it was hard to tell if she was being provocative or just naive

Oneida narrowed her cold eyes, lips pressed tightly together. Very well. Despite her innocent and naive looks, this girl's words were thorny, a blatant challenge. Oneida thought she was an interesting opponent indeed. "Why would he have a hard time?" Oneida mused. To Cece's surprise, Oneida responded not with anger but with a trickling laugh, her icy exterior melting into a radiant smile. "After all, your dear Jackson does whatever I ask of him." Her voice was soft but laced with a vaguely suggestive tone.

Cece stiffened at that, biting her lip, unsure of what to say. How could Jackson, so aloof and proud, be so obedient to a woman like Oneida? Cece pouted, her discontent and confusion clear on her face.

And just then, Oneida turned her head to instruct the maid with a pointed directive, "She's had enough time with her breakfast. If the taste isn't to her liking, clear the table. Make room for me." Her smile deepened with purpose, "After all, I haven't had my meal yet." 08:34 Mon, Dec
