Chapter 203 

The next day 

Oneida’s plan was disrupted by a phone call. 

She had intended to visit Edmund’s school and meet the convenience store owner’s daughter. 

But, early in the morning, Nathan called from Quakersville, asking the whole family to visit the Chaser manor. 

Oneida had a bad feeling about this. 

She had given Wyatt a good beating last night, and he might have gone to Nathan to complain. 

If that were the case, she definitely needed to visit the manor. 

After finishing breakfast, the family got into the car and headed to the Chaser manor. 

In the car, Oneida sat in the same row with Tatiana and Jennifer 

Jennifer still seemed to be in low spirits. 

Her eyes were downcast, and her brow was furrowed unconsciously. 

Lately, her heart had been shattered into pieces by Christopher 

She had liked Christopher for so long, and now he was just gone 

Anyone would find that hard to accept. 

Jennifer quietly glanced at Oneida beside her. 

In her eyes, there was nothing but coldness. 

Oneida actually had the nerve to come back. 

Her mother was right about Oneida being a jinx because she snatched away Christopher from her. 

And now, with Edmund in such a pitiful state, it was probably her fault too. 

Oneida, however, just gazed ahead nonchalantly, eyes half–closed, looking as if she were resting. 

She naturally sensed Jennifer’s hateful glare.. 

But she didn’t care. 

In this family, the only ones she cared about were Lucas and Edmund. 

As soon as they arrived at the manor, the servants led them to the main hall. 

Just as they stepped inside, a mug, filled to the brim with coffee, came flying at them without warning. 

Tatiana and Jennifer were so scared they quickly stepped back, streaming in shock. 

The flying mug, by sheer misfortune, hit Lucas’s forehead, leaving a bruise. 

Lucas merely frowned, enduring the pain in silence.

“You lot have really let me down!” A voice full of anger echoed from the front. 

It was so loud it made everyone’s eandrums buzz. 

The speaker was none other than Nathan. 

He glared at them, his face full of fury, his eyes stern and cold. 

“Lucas, what kind of upbringing did you give to your children? azel, sitting beside him, shook her head in disappointment. 

I heard Edmund was taken to the police station because of anger and embarrassment. 

What kind of situation was this! 

He was too embarrassed to even say it out loud. 

It was simply too humiliating. 

of that girl?” Nathan picked up where Hazel left off, his face a mix 

Hearing this, Lucas knew the elderly couple must have learned about the incident. 

When Edmund got into trouble initially, he chose not to tell them. 

First, because it was hard to talk about and it was best not to let too many people know. Second, he was afraid it would agitate them too much. 

Nathan valued reputation and image the most. If he found out that Edmund was taken to the police station for such a thing, he’d be furious. 

“More or less, but not exactly,” Lucas said with a sigh, giving a vague response. 

What do you mean ‘more or less, but not exactly? Can you be clear?” Nathan, still furious, glared with eyes as big as saucers, his voice making their ears ring. “It’s been days since it happence Do you not know whether Edmund did it or not?” 

Lucas gritted his teeth and said firmly, “Dad, knowing Edmunds character, I don’t believe he could do such a thing. But right now, it’s hard to explain. I truly believe Edmund is being framed 

“What you believe doesn’t matter!” Nathan roared, his anger flaring up again. “What matters is what the police think! I’ve heard the evidence has been submitted. People only care about the evidence. And you didn’t even intend to inform me about such a big issue? Do I even have a place in this family?” 

Lucas opened his mouth, about to say something. 

Unexpectedly, Nathan’s gaze shifted to Oneida. “And you! I heard you beat up Wyatt?” 

Nathan glared at her as if she were a notorious criminal. “What gives you the right to your cousin?” 

Lucas hadn’t been aware of this, so he was equally astonished. 

He turned his head slightly, instinctively looking at Oneida. “Ida, what happened?” 

Tatiana and Jennifer in the back were fuming. 

As expected, the jinx, Oneida, was causing trouble again. 

And this time, she’d gotten on the bad side of Nathan’s favorite grandson! 

The most favorable one in the Chaser family was Mateo, and his son, Wyatt, naturally received all the love and attention.

Chapter 203 

How dare Oneida hit Wyatt She must be crazy! Tutiana though, clenching her fists. If it weren’t for the serious atmosphere, she would have yelled at Oneida. 

Oneida, a good–for–nothing, sure knows how to throw a punch 

Last night, she even pushed me to the ground. Just thinking about it makes me furious! 

Probably because she did too much farm work in the countryside, she still brought with her the brute nature. Tatiana fumed inside. 

Meanwhile, Oneida simply pressed her lips together and remained silent. 

Nathan’s face turned red with anger. “Are you mute! I’m talking to you!” 

He then called out to the side room. “Wyatt, come out and confront Oneida.” 

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps filled the hall. 

Mateo, Janet, and their four children walked over, appearing before everyone, including the injured Wyatt 

The large bruises around Wyatt’s eyes hadn’t faded and were particularly noticeable. 

“Dad, no 

moment 

matter what, you 

have to stand up for Wyatt,” Janet said in a sorrowful tone as if she were about to cry the next 

Knowing that her son had been beaten, she couldn’t swallow that anger. 

Mateo, on the other hand, gazed coldly at Oneida, his expression hostile. 

William was supporting his brother, glaring at Oneida with both pity and anger. 

Yuliana and Rachel, the two sisters, looked furious as well. 

“Humph, Edmund is a nasty pervert, and you’re a violent, unruly country bumpkin who hits people at the slightest provocation. Truly a perfect match for each other!” Yuliana sneered, outspokenly mocking Lucas’s family. 

Although Lucas and Tatiana were her elders in this family, Yuliana was highly favored, and Lucas’s family was the least favored, so she never respected them, 

She mocked them whenever she wanted, without fear of offending them. 

“That’s right, Edmund, that bastard, seemed upright, but it turned out- Rachel chimed in, her eyes filled with disgust. “He deserves to be arrested. He should be locked up for a few years just so he could reflect on his actions.
