"Cece Oneida narrowed her eyes, and a chilling coldness surged in her deep gaze. "You better tell me the truth."

Cece's face twisted in pain, and her heart began to tremble uncontrollably. Did Oneida already know something?

"What are you talking about?" Cece reached out, trying desperately to pry Oneida's fingers off her neck to break free from the choking grasp.

You know exactly what I'm talking about." Oneida tighteneil her grip as if just a bit more force would snap Cece's neck.

Before meeting Cece, Oneida had only suspicions. But now, seeing her in person had confirmed it, this girl was hiding something!

Cece was on the verge of suffocation. Her fingers clawed at Oneida's hand, but she couldn't pry it open even a little. She closed her eyes in agony, looking like she was barely clinging to life.

"..." Her voice came out in a strained whisper, her face as pale as a ghost. "Ill talk..."

Hearing this, Oneida loosened her grip slightly, though her hand stayed firmly on Cece's neck, clearly not planning to let go entirely.

"Speak

Oneida's voice was steady but full of authority; her eyes burning into the girl in front of her.

Cece felt a wave of relief. The sensation of choking slowly faded, and she instinctively began to gasp for air. After catching her breath, she finally spoke, her voice dragging, "I... I didn't do anything... I just got back, what could I have done..." Oneida's eyes dimmed a bit. This girl was still being stubborn, refusing to tell the truth.

"Nothing?" Oneida sneered, a mocking smile curving her lips. Then let me be clear. Did you do something to Jackson""

At the mention of Jackson's name, Cece froze, her eyes widening in shock and surprise. Could it be that Oneida already knew? How on earth did she figure it out so quickly! Cece's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, her mouth hanging open but unable to form a defense.

But in the next second...

Oneida's grip tightened again. The deadly sensation of suffocation came rushing back, and Cece almost passed out.

"If you don't talk, I will..." Oneida leaned in close, her cold breath brushing against Cece's ear, "kill you!"

The last two words were like a death knell from hell, stabbing deep into Cece's heart. Only now did Cece truly realize that Oneida wasn't bluffing. She could do it.

"Is-say I will tell you... Driven by a strong survival instinct, Cece had no choice but to compromise. She painfully spat out the words, her eyes filled with an earnest, compliant gaze.

Seeing this. Oneida loosened her grip once more. With a smile that was anything but kind, she warned, "If you don't tell the truth this time, I won't give you another chance to catch your breath.

"If you lie. I'll snap your neck right away."

Those words sent a chilling coldness through Cece's heart.

Standing before her, Oneida had an indifferent expression. Yet, to Cece, she seemed like a demon from hell, bearing the most terrifying face imaginable. How could Oneida have such a terrifying side?

"Alright." Cece nodded, no longer daring to play any tricks. From now on, she believed that if she said even one wrong word, Oneida would break her neck without a second thought. She couldn't afford to lie. "Today, I did go to replace Jackson," Cece said, gasping for breath as she struggled to get the words out. "I didn't hurt him... I just put something on him..."

Hearing this, Oneida's eyes slightly widened, "What did you pucon him?"

At this point, Cece had to come clean. Ons.

as too smart, and a single lie could mean certain death.

"Someone gave me some kind of drug told me to put it on him. Her lips were pale, her voice weak. "It's supposed to mess with his mind...

"Make him forget the person he likes....

Cece bit her lip and continued, "And then, make him like me...

Upon hearing this, Oneida's eyebrows furrowed deeply. She stared silently at Cece.

Cece, seeing her remain silent and just staring at her, began to panic internally. Did Oneida not believe her?

"It's the truth..." She couldn't help but raise her voice. Im not lying..."

At this moment. Oneida let out a low laugh. The laugh was filled with thick sarcasm.

Oneida's eyes, bright and filled with intimidating pressure, locked onto Cece as if viewing a joke. "You're dumb."

Stupid? Cece's eyes widened, at a complete loss for how to respond. Oneida called her stupid...

"There's no such drug in this world," Oneida said with absolute certainty. If it existed, she would have been the one to create

After all, she was a genius doctor. Aside from her, almost no other doctors or medical experts could come up with such a drug. Oneida knew just how difficult it would be to develop something like that. "You were conned, idiot Oneida glanced at her lazily.

"I was conned?" Cece's eyes widened further in disbelief, her mind reeling. Impossible!

Jonas had assured her with such confidence. He wouldn't have lied to her.

"The drug he gave you likely has no such effect." Oneida narrowed her eyes. "You were used. Who gave you that drug

00

Oneida had largely pieced together what had happened. This goose Cece, wanting Jackson to fall for her, had made a deal with some mysterious figure lurking in the shadows.

That figure gave her a drug, deceiving Cece into thinking it could mess with Jackson's mind and make him fall in love with her. But in reality, the drug had no such effect. It could harm Jackson.

Whether it's poison or not, that person had merely used Cece's hand to poison Jackson. Oneida couldn't be sure yet. But it was certainly not good for Jackson. Colorless, odorless, and impossible to see where it went wrong. Cece's mind was now in chaos after hearing this

"I was used? No way... he said..." Cece shouted, hysteria edging her voice.

Oneida grimaced, her tone sharp and urgent, "Then go check on Jackson right now.

"Because of your stupidity, he's in a coma.
