Oneida was really sincere. 

* EY 

Upon hearing Lionel’s words, Bella showed a gloomy look, and tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. 

However, Claude looked utterly deflated. 

He thought it was just a shabby wooden box. Who knew it was actually high–quality wood? 

Lionel immediately opened the wooden box. 

Inside were two chess sets. 

Chess sets? 

The onlookers were stunned. 

Why would Oneida give chess sets to Lionel? 

Did Lionel play chess? 

Lionel loved calligraphy and painting, which was well known within the whole Bane family. 

But what about chess? 

It seemed that Lionel wasn’t particularly interested in this hobby. 

Everyone instinctively looked at Lionel’s expression, curious about how he would react to the gift. 

However, Lionel’s eyes lit up, and excitement flashed through them in an instant. 

“Is this Scarlet Jade?” 

Lionel looked at Oneida, his face a mixture of surprise and delight. 

“Yes, Grandpa.” 

Oneida nodded with a smile. 

The gift she presented to Lionel was actually chess pieces. 

The pieces were of the Scarlet Jade type in the game of chess. 

Ordinary chess pieces were typically black and white. 

But the Scarlet Jade Chess‘ color and material were quite different from ordinary chess pieces. 

The dark pieces were said to be made from mountain meteorites, pitch black but with a faint glowing red. 

The light–colored pieces, however, were crafted from the most translucent jade, clear green with a hint of white wave patterns. 

Thus, these pieces were named Scarlet Jade Chess. 

Anyone who loved playing Go was definitely familiar with Scarlet Jade. 

Some even spent a fortune just to obtain a set of these Scarlet Jade Chess pieces. 

The fame of Scarlet Jade wasn’t just due to its exquisite material and workmanship or its gorgeous appearance, but also because these pieces were personally crafted by an individual. 

Where did Scarlet Jade come from? 

It was made by the world–renowned chess master, Jade. 

Jade’s expertise in chess was unmatched, and he was a man of elegant simplicity who enjoyed coffee and chess. 

Scarlet Jade was born out of a sudden inspiration, personally created by Jade.

Chapter 191 

Due to limited materials and energy, Jade only made five sets of Scarlet Jade Chess. 

There were only five sets in the whole world! 

It meant that Scarlet Jade Chess was extremely precious. 

Many people, with heaps of cash in hand, tried to buy Scarlet Jade but ended up empty–handed. 

To this day, nobody knew which lucky few ended up with these five sets of Scarlet Jade Chess. 

Now, the highly coveted Scarlet Jade Chess was surprisingly gifted to Lionel by Oneida! 

So, Lionel was utterly amazed. 

Others around had various expressions on their faces. 

At the sight of the Scarlet Jade, Jackson was also slightly shocked. 

He then covertly glanced at Oneida. 

His gaze was deep. 

What else about Oneida did he not yet know? 

It seemed she still had plenty of secrets. 

Among others at the table, some were clueless about Scarlet Jade, showing confusion, while some knew the origin of Scarlet Jade Chess and appeared somewhat shocked. 

Regardless, Oneida’s gift managed to astound everyone. 

In Lionel’s heart, this set of Scarlet Jade Chess was truly a one–of–a–kind gift. 

In the Bane family, almost no one knew he played chess. 

Jackson was the only exception. 

Because only Jackson had the skill to match Lionel in the game. 

The others knew nothing about chess or played it badly. 

So, since Jackson moved to Garrison Mansion, Lionel had lost the only chess companion. 

He hadn’t played chess in a long time. 

It had been almost forgotten that Lionel knew chess. 

Today, Oneida presented Lionel with Scarlet Jade Chess. 

He was thrilled, not just because Scarlet Jade Chess was a rare treasure. 

More importantly, Lionel was deeply moved. 

It turned out that someone still remembered his secret passion. 

“How did you know I love chess?” Lionel squinted at Oneida, his eyes crinkling with a tender smile. 

Oneida smiled slightly, saying, “It was nothing but a happy accident. I just wanted to give Grandpa a precious gift. I thought that even if you don’t play chess, Scarlet Jade Chess can be treasured as a collectible. But if you do play, that’s even better.” 

Of course, Oneida was lying. 

She knew Lionel played chess. 

However, her knowledge came from memories of her past life. 

To others, Scarlet Jade Chess was indeed hard to come by, truly precious. 

But for Oneida, it was not.

Chapter 191 

Because the was none other than the legendary Jade 

Scarlet jade Chess was personally crafted by her! 

In fact, Oneida never intended to become a chess master, but due to her remarkable talent, she inadvertently became the famously acclaimed Jade. 

Making Scarlet Jarle Chess was just a way not to waste those valuable materials. 

Out of five Scarlet Jade Chess, two were given away, and the other three were with her. 

This time, Oneida took out one to give to Lionel 

The reason she gave Lionel Scarlet Jade was because, back when she was Jade in her last life, Lionel had sought her out. 

At that time, Oneida was told by a subordinate that a big shot from Jeahron wanted to meet her and have a match of wits with her. 

This prominent person was drawn by Jade’s reputation and was eager to meet her. 

Oneida pondered for a while. 

Finally, she turned him down. 

Oneida had an urgent matter to handle and didn’t have time to meet Lionel 

Only later did Oneida find out that this distinguished individual was Lionel. 

Who would have thought that in this life, Oneida would marry into the Bane family and meet Lionel in such a setting? 

He must be fond of chess. 

Otherwise, Lionel wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to meet Jade with the desire to challenge her to chess. 

So, when Oneida gifted Lionel a set of Scarlet Jade Chess pieces, it was certainly catering to his interests. 

Lionel chuckled and said, “It’s really what I want. What a coincidence! I just happen to be a lover of chess.” 

“Grandpa, when did you fall in love with chess? I had no idea,” Claude stared at Lionel with wide eyes, utterly puzzled. 

On hearing this, Lionel frowned and said with displeasure, “Of course, you didn’t know! I bet almost everyone in the family has forgotten that I play chess…” 

Lionel’s tone was harsh, which made the other frightened. 

When Lionel was not smiling, he always seemed to be imposing and stern. 

And that was exactly how it was now. 

“Grandpa, it’s our fault for not paying enough attention to you,” said Jonas gently, puckering his lips as he spoke to Lionel. 

Right now, Jonas’s fair and delicate face showed no emotion. 

Lionel snorted coldly and turned to look at Oneida, his expression changing to one of a smile. “Oneida, tell me, where did you get Scarlet Jade Chess from? I had people trying to get it too, but they never succeeded. 

“How did you manage that?” 

Lionel was genuinely curious. 

How did Oneida, such a young woman, manage to get her hands on Scarlet Jade Chess?
