Chapter The Second Act 207
Seeing Oneida and Christopher glaring at her, Ashley's expression froze,
"Hello, I'm Edmund's sister, Oneida said, introducing herself.
Hearing Edmund's name. Ashley's eyes widened, her fare showing a mix of emotions such as resentment, indifference, and a tinge of sadness.
Oneida, with her keen observation, didn't miss any of these emotions.
"Can we talk for a moment?" Oneida asked.
Ashley's face turned cold. She lowered her gaze, refusing, "I know why you're here. I don't think there's anything left to
discuss
Oneida narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I'm just here to find out the truth."
Ashley sneered, her big eyes filled with mockery and coldness. The truths are clear, and the evidence is there, but Edmund refuses to confess. There's nothing more I can do."
Hearing this, Oneida tightened her grip slightly,
This girl was indeed stubborn.
She understood that questioning her like this would yield no results.
Then come with me." Oneida suddenly changed her approach Our family elders are very concerned and curious about Edmund's situation. Come home with me and explain it to them. After all, you're the only eyewitness." Ashley lifted her chin slightly, her demeanor indifferent and cold "Why should I go with you? How ridiculous. Who do you think you are to demand that of me?"
She pointed to the door, her tone sharp. "You're not welcome here. Leave now!"
1. in. That's right. We haven't even asked you for compensation, and now you attitude. Get out. You are not welcome here."
The convenience store owner quickly i come here questioning us with this a
It was clear that both father and daughter were highly displeased with these uninvited guests.
Oneida's eyes darkened, her voice non-negotiable. "You will come with me.
In an instant, Oneida swiftly grabbed a pair of scissors from the counter, her arm moving gracefully.
The scissors flew straight towards the convenience store's surveillance camera.
With a bang, the camera shattered, ceasing to function.
The next second, the scissors bounced off the camera, hitting a fragile spot on a nearby shelf.
With a crash, the entire shelf collapsed.
Like an avalanche, the shelf disintegrated, and everything on it fell to the ground.
In no time, the floor was a mess.
The convenience store owner and Ashley watched in disbelief, their eyes wide open.

Oneida's movements were fluid and incredibly fast.
They didn't even see it happen. In the blink of an eye, the came was broken, and in another blink, the shelf was down.
What just happened?
Who is this person?
Christopher watched everything unfold without much surprise
In the past life, he, like everyone else, had initially thought Oneida was a worthless country bumpkin until he later discovered that she was far from what he had imagined.
In fact, she was strong and very intelligent.
However, one thing he still didn't understand was who Oneida really was.
She was impressive but also very mysterious.
Christopher always felt that there was some secret behind Oneida.
But now, he didn't want to investigate further.
As long as Oneida was alive, he was content.
"Are you coming with me? If not, it won't just be one shelf. I'll dismantle your entire convenience store."
Oneida stood straight, her gaze piercing down at the girl before her, her aura intimidating,
Her overwhelming presence almost suffocated-Ashley, whose shoulders began to tremble involuntarily.
She told herself not to be afraid.
"If you do this, I'll call the police. Do you really think you can call the shot here?" Ashley gritted her teeth, trying to maintain her composure.
Oneida scoffed, unfazed. "Do you think I'll give you the chance to call the police? If I want, I can tear down this convenience store and drag you away before you even touch your phone."
Ashley's face turned even paler, her expression stiff.
'How come Edmund has a sister like this?' she thought.
"Are you coming or not?" Oneida's voice was cold and commanding, her expression calm but her eyes sharp.
"Ashley-The convenience store owner, who was already scared out of his wits, could tell that the girl in front of him was someone he couldn't afford to provoke. All he wanted now was to calm her down. So, he quietly called out to his daughter. "How about you-" Ashley glanced at her father.
She knew her spineless father had already given in.
Indeed, there was no point in resisting.
Edmund's sister was clearly not to be trifled with.
Even if she managed to escape today, there was no guarantee for the future.

Chapter 207
Ashley could tell that Oneida wouldn't let her off easily.
"Fine, I'll go with you." Ashley finally relented after a moment of silence.
With that, the three of them returned to the car.
They planned to head to the Chaser manor as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, a man in a black suit hiding in the nearby woods saw Ashley get into Oneida's car. He immediately picked up his phone and made a call. "Mr. Chaser, Ashley has been taken by Cucida. They're probably heading to the Chaser manor." The Mr. Chaser he referred to was Wyatt.
At that moment, Wyatt was anxiously waiting in his room.
Hearing that Ashley had been taken by Oneida, his expression changed.
He wondered what Ashley said to Oneida.
In theory, it shouldn't involve him.
After all, she hadn't recognized him that night.
Wyatt's eyes darkened, his thoughts distracted as he responded absent-mindedly, "I understand."
Meanwhile, Christopher's car had reached the city center.
At a three-way intersection, a black car ignored the red light and sped toward them, aiming to crash into their vehicle.
Christopher's eyes widened, and he instinctively jerked the steering wheel
Oneida and Ashley, due to the sudden motion, were thrown around in the car.
Despite Christopher's desperate attempts to avoid the collision, the black car seemed intent on hitting them, persistently chasing them down.
This was no accident!
That car was deliberately trying to crash into them!
Oneida glanced out at the black car, understanding the situation immediately.
