Chapter 205

“What do you know?” Wyatt scoffed, his eyes filled with violent disdain.

“If you want to vent your anger, you can hit me,” Christopher said calmly, his gold–rimmed glasses reflecting a cold light in the soft sunlight. His handsome, chiseled face remained expressionless.

Christopher’s words left everyone even more shocked.

Even Oneida couldn’t help but look up at him.

Is this really his way of wooing a girl? she thought to herself.

“What’s the use of hitting you? I want to hit Oneidal Wyatt was far from pleased, his fierce gaze bypassing Christopher to land directly on Oneida behind him.

Oneida’s eyes narrowed as she stepped forward.

“Wyatt, you’re going too far.” Her voice was cold and sharp, her lace tense.

“Edmund did nothing wrong, and you all need to stop slandering him. As for why I hit Wyatt, it’s because he did something wrong. Oneida continued, her voice clear and resolute.

Anger faltered slightly on Wyatt’s face, replaced instead by a hint of guilt

Does she have proof now? No, she can’t possibly have evidencel And I have no reason to be afraid, he convinced himself inside.

“You’re spouting nonsense!” Wyatt retorted, his confidence returning.

Hearing Oneida’s words, Mateo and Janet’s faces darkened as well

“Oneida, what do you mean by that? Wyatt has always behaved himself well. What big mistake could he have made?” Janet/ retorted, eager to protect her son,

“Oneida, stop making baseless accusations, Mateo warned coldly, his eyes dark.

Oneida let out a sneer, with obvious contempt in her eyes.

Yuliana and Rachel felt their anger rise at the sight.

“Oneida, if you have the guts, explain yourself. Stop being so mysterious. You’re so biased towards your own brother that you can’t even tell right from wrong! Yuliana pouted, her eyes filled with hatred.

“Exactly, you’re just trying to shirk the blame for hitting someone. Both you and Edmund are no good!” Rachel’s voice rose, echoing her sister’s sentiment.

“I will prove who is right and who is wrong.” Oneida clenched her fingers slightly, speaking each word with determination. “How will you prove it?” Nathan’s face was already dark, his eyes glaring at her.

“By tomorrow at the latest, I will bring the evidence,” Oneida responded calmly.

“So, you don’t have any evidence now,” Nathan’s eyes narrowed into a dangerous glint.

“Humph, what if you can’t find the evidence?” His gaze became even more frightening, with a hint of sinister in his ey you can’t produce evidence by then, get out of the Chaser family

Chapter 205

Getting out of the Chaser faquly? Everyone was taken aback by Nathan’s words.

His punishment was considered extremely harshi.

He actually wanted to kick Oneida out of the Chaser family,

Oneida had just been taken in as part of the family, and now he was going to kick her out?

Oneida, however, slightly curled her lips into a meaningful smile.

“Deal” She agreed without hesitation,

Lucas’s eyes widened in surprise. He frowned at Oneida. “Ida, you-

‘How could she agree so easily? he thought anxiously

Nathan was a man of his word. If she couldn’t produce evidence she might really he kicked out of the Chaser family.

“Don’t worry, Dad.” Oneida turned to Lucas with a reassuring sumile.

Seeing her like this, Lucas couldn’t say anything more.

And so, the standoff was temporarily settled.

They quickly left the manor, with Lucas, Tatiana, and Jennifer preparing to head home.

Oneida, on the other hand, stuck to her original plan and decide to visit Edmund’s school.

Christopher insisted on accompanying her.

As they left, Jennifer glared at them with a look of deep resentment, as if they had committed some unforgivable sin.

Seeing Jennifer’s expression, Oneida couldn’t help but find it both funny and satisfying

Seeing Jennifer’s resentful expression, Oneida felt both amused and vindicated.

In her previous life, she had envied Jennifer.

She envied her for having her parents‘ love and Christopher’s affection.

Now, with Christopher no longer in love with her, she was miserable.

After Jennifer and the others left, Christopher prepared to drive Oneida to school himself.

“Don’t do that again,” Oneida said quietly as she sat in the car, her eyes downcast..

She didn’t need Christopher to protect her like he did earlier.

Christopher’s gaze darkened slightly at her words,

“I do it willingly.” After a moment of silence, he replied with a deep tone.

Hearing this, Oneida glanced at Christopher, her gaze complicated with emotions,

This guy is really stubborn she thought to herself.

She looked at him for a moment before turning away, no longer paying him any attention.

The car started.

Chapter 203

They were about to head to Edmund’s school.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Edmund was curled up in a comer, eyes closed.

He wasn’t in a separate room but locked up with others.

There were all sorts of people here, young men, middle–aged men, and even teenagers.

Most of them appeared uneducated and uncouth, with a strange odor emanating from them.

Edmund tried to ignore his discomfort, keeping his eyes shut and remaining silent.

It was his first time encountering so many people from society’s lower strata.

Naturally, he felt a bit out of place.

“Hey, kid!” A rough voice rang in Edmund’s cars, “What’s with that arrogance of yours, not even looking at us? You think you’re better than us?”

Hearing this. Edmund immediately opened his eyes.

The speaker was a young man with a buzz cut, looking like a typical thug

As soon as he spoke, others chimed in, “Yeah, what’s with the attitude? You’re here just like us, so stop pretending to be some big shot!”

Edmund frowned slightly.

He couldn’t be bothered to talk to them.

These people were from a completely different world from his.

Edmund’s indifferent demeanor infuriated the thugs even

more

“Damn it, don’t you hear me?” The buzz–cut youth stood up, looking fierce, his eyes sharp.

He resembled a bloodthirsty beast, ready to pounce at any moment.

The other thugs also stood up, glaring at Edmund menacingly.

“Boss, this kid needs to be taught a lesson. Break his spirit, and he’ll be more obedient. These newcomers need a good beating to know their place!” One of the thugs suggested to the buzz–cut youth.
