Chapter 182
What is Onrida’s secret? Jackson wondered
Meanwhile…
Oneida was in her room, holding her phone and talking to Simon.
“Bring that thing here right now.
“By the way, is my brooch fixed? Bring it over when you’re done?
After saying all this, Oneida hung up the phone.
She paused for a while, then walked out of the bedroom, and went straight to the gate of Garrison Mansion
At a remote intersection, a black sports car was parked quietly,
Oneida opened the car door and got in the passenger seat.
“Boss.” Simon, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but call out when he saw her appear.
“Give me the thing”
Oneida didn’t talk nonsense and cut to the chase.
Simon nodded and handed a wooden box to Oneida.
This box was neither big nor small.
It seemed to be made of very fine wood, with simple and exquisite patterns embedded on the surface.
The whole box was antique and noble.
Oneida took the wooden box.
Simon smiled and joked in a low voice, “Boss, why do you want this? You haven’t touched the thing in this box for a long time…”
Oneida cast her eyes on the wooden box and replied lightly, “It’s for Mr. Lionel Bane.”
“Huh?” Hearing this, Simon was surprised. “Boss, why did you give such a precious thing to Mr. Lionel Bane?”
He looked at Oneida meaningfully from top to bottom. “Boss, do you really… fall in love?”
Oneida valued Lionel so much only because of Jackson.
Simon couldn’t think of anything else.
Oneida glanced at him and snorted coldly, “Why do you ask so many questions?”
Then she quickly changed the subject and asked, “Where’s my brooch?”
Hearing this, Simon immediately took out a delicate small box from the side and said, “Boss, in order to restore this brooch, I went to great lengths to find a world–renowned jeweler…
Oneida took the box and opened it.
Símon continued, “Fortunately, the jeweler is skillful. He perfectly restored the brooch.”
Oneida lowered her head and looked carefully at the swan brooch in front of her.
It was true.
The brooch was well restored.
There was no sign of deformation.

At the sight of this, Oneida couldn’t help smiling slightly.
After saying goodbye to Simon, Oneida hurried back to Garrison Mansion without stopping.
Time was running out, so she had to change her clothes immediately.
There was a cloakroom in her bedroom.
There were many different styles of clothes.
There were haute couture dresses, big–name fashions, and many expensive handmade clothes.
These were all prepared by Jackson.
Oneida didn’t need them at ordinary times, but they finally came in handy today.
Because she was to attend the elder’s birthday party, Oneida did not choose an exaggerated dress but a simple and clean white drew.
She didn’t wear any make–up but simply combed her hair.
Then she took the wooden box and walked out of the room.
Jackson had been waiting for her in the hall.
Seeing Oneida walking downstairs, Jackson couldn’t help but pause.
His eyes were filled with a flash of amazement.
Oneida was wearing a snow–white dress, and her cheeks were also fair. Her porcelain–like skin was glowing with light pink. She was like a fairy descending from the sky, gorgeous and unworldly.
She was beautiful and clean.
“Jackson?” Seeing Jackson staring at her without saying anything, Oneida couldn’t help but call out to him.
Jackson immediately came back to his senses, nodded at her, and said lightly, “Let’s go.”
So they got in the luxury car heading for the Bane manor.
The Bane manor was far away from Garrison Mansion.
It took Jackson and Oneida an hour to arrive at the Bane manor.
The Bane manor was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Behind the building was a whole stretch of lush green mountains and dense forests.
And this mountain belonged to the Bane family.
In Jeahron, only the Bane family could own such a large mountain.
In the mountains, there were not only trees but also water.
The water was diverted into the manor and became a clear natural landscape.
The Bane manor was even more magnificent and imposing.
A piece of tile on the roof looked valuable.
Because Victor didn’t follow them into the manor, Oneida pushed Jackson along the way.
They passed through the beautiful manor, led by a servant.
This was the first time that Oneida had ever set foot in the Bane manor.
Sure enough, it was extraordinary.
The heritage and tolerance of the top wealthy family were fully reflected through architecture and environment.
r
“I was wondering who it was…” At that moment, a low sneer sounded, followed by a slightly oily male voice. “So it is Jackson. It’s been a long time.”

Jackson, who was sitting in a wheelchair, paused when he heard the voice.
Oneida also stopped in her tracks.
She narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
The speaker was a young man.
He was tall, slightly chubby, and fairly handsome, but his eyes were cheesy.
Oneida took a look and quickly guessed the man’s identity.
He was Claude Banc.
He was an illegitimate child and Jackson’s elder brother!
All the children of the Bane family lived in this huge manor, except Jackson.
He didn’t like to see others because of his disabled legs, so he moved out alone early and lived in seclusion in Garrison Mansion.
So, when Claude looked at Jackson, he was like the head of a family looking at an outsider.
With an arrogant smile on his face, Claude continued in a disdainful tone, “Jackson, your legs are so inconvenient. Why did you come all the way here? What’s the point?”
Hearing this, Oneida suddenly darkened her eyes.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something.
But Jackson got ahead of her. He said indifferently, “Of course, I’ll come for Grandpa’s birthday.”
“You are quite filial…” Claude said with a half–smile.
He looked at Jackson with meaningful eyes.
Jackson looked the same as before.
He was aloof, fragile, and incapable.
In this way,
Claude was relieved.
Although Claude was the eldest son of the Bane family, he was an illegitimate child after all.
Among all the children in the Bane family, Jackson was the only one who had the most legitimate bloodlines.
Therefore, Claude always regarded Jackson as his threat.
However, Jackson wasn’t a threat anymore. He was more like a joke.
Jackson was crippled and incompetent. If he had been so useless all the time, Claude would be very happy.
After looking at Jackson, Claude withdrew his gaze and then fixed his eyes on Oneida behind Jackson.
