Chapter 269 

Before that, Victor had led his men to search the whole of Mount Esterwilde. 

However, no trace of Oneida was found. 

Unexpectedly, when he gloomily walked down the mountain, Oneida suddenly appeared in front of him. 

It was really out of his expectations! 

Seeing that Victor was so worried about her, Oneida smiled guiltily and said, “I’m fine.” 

“Mrs. Bane, where have you been these days?” Victor frowned and continued to ask. 

“What’s the matter? Of course, I went to the top of Mount Esterwilde…” Oneida said naturally. 

She pretended to know nothing and looked calm. 

Victor paused and didn’continue. 

Oneida didn’t know Jackson had sent someone to keep an eye on her. 

She didn’t know that she had become a “missing person” in the eyes of everyone either. 

“Is that so? But I was at the top of the mountain just now. Why didn’t I see you?” Victor felt a little strange and couldn’t help but ask. 

Oneida explained calmly and indifferently, “I just took a shortcut in the mountain. It didn’t take me long to reach the top of the mountain. After putting up the sign to ask for help from Dr. Ryan, I left and wandered around the mountain. 

“Maybe we just missed each other.” 

She had come up with a perfect excuse. 

That was what she would say if anyone asked. 

“Is that so?” Oneida’s excuse was perfect, but Victor felt something was wrong. 

“Alright. Let’s go back!” Oneida didn’t want to waste her breath with him, so she said straightforwardly. 

Victor nodded immediately. 

That was right. If he could find Oneida, it meant that the mission had been completed! 

The most important thing for him now was to bring Oneida back to Jackson safely. 

. 

“Mrs. Bane, I’m just here to pick you up. Follow me and watch your step, please,” Victor said respectfully and then walked in front of Oneida to lead her the way. 

They soon drove back to the Bane manor. 

As soon as she entered the villa, she found that everyone was gathering in the hall. 

“Ida, you’re back!” Seeing Oneida appear, Lionel relaxed his eyebrows and smiled kindly. 

“Come here, Let me have a look.” Then he waved to Oneida again, looking in a good mood. 

Oneida smiled politely, then walked over, and called out, “Grandpa Lionel.”

“Are you hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable?” What Lionel cared about most was Oneida’s health. 

After all, Rosie was invited by her.

In order to invite Rosie, Oneida climbed to the top of Mount Esterwilde alone and impressed Rosie with her sincerity. 

To some extent, Oneida was also the savior of Ruth! 

Without Oneida, how could Rosie come here to save Ruth? 

Now, Ruth’s condition had greatly improved. Lionel was only worried about Oneida… 

So, as soon as he saw Oneida, he asked eagerly. 

“Grandpa Lionel,” Oneida smiled slightly and said calmly, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. It went more smoothly than I thought. It’s my fault that I didn’t come back in time, which made worried.”

What Oneida said was reasonable, which made Lionel breathe a sigh of relief. He was more fond of Oneida in his heart. 

“Ida, thank you so much There was a kind look in Lionel’s eyes. 

“How about this? I have a villa in Pinewood Bay. I’ll give it to you today, okay?” Lionel asked with a smile as if it was just a simple gift. 

However, the other people present were shocked. 

Roderick’s face suddenly darkened, and a trace of surprise flashed across his cold eyes. 

He had been begging for this villa in Pinewood Bay from Lionel for a long time, but Lionel refused to let go and didn’t mean to give it to him. 

Now, Lionel was so kind that he directly gave the villa to this little girl. 

This was ridiculous! 

Roderick glanced at Oneida unhappily with a cold face. 

His disgust for his daughter–in–law reached its peak at that moment. 

Claude, Bella, and Jonas were all unhappy. 

They were first surprised, then stared at Oneida gloomily. 

They understood how valuable this villa in Pinewood Bay was. 

This villa was located in a perfect position, and the construction and decoration were also very luxurious. It covered an area of incomparably large space. 

Even if it was sold directly, it could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars! 

Lionel was going to take this villa for his own vacation. 

But he didn’t have time to go there these years. 

So the villa was still idle. 

Now, Lionel was going to give it directly to Oneida! 

Claude gritted his teeth, with some resentiment on his face.

Damn it! 

Oneida just married into the Bane family for such a short time. How did she coax Lionel? 

Lionel was kind to her and sent her the villa generously. 

Why was Lionel so nice to her?

The more Claude thought, the more angry he was. He was Lionel’s biological grandson. Why was he not as good as Oneida, who suddenly came out of nowhere? 

Moreover, Oneida was Jackson’s wife. If Lionel gave this villa to Oneida, it would be equivalent to giving it to Jackson! 

At the thought of this, Claude could not help but clench his fist. His eyes are filled with hatred. 

He hated Jackson in the first place. Now Jackson and Oneida didn’t do anything and got a villa for nothing. It was really annoying! 

Bella on the side also looked pale. 

She didn’t expect that Lionel would love Oneida so much and give Oneida the villa generously. 

She had been in the Bane family for a long time, but she never received such an expensive gift. 

It was impossible not to be jealous. 

Oneida… 

Bella was so angry that she bit her lower lip tightly. Why was Oneida so lucky? 

Oneida had Jackson and the love of the elders. She even got this precious villa so easily. 

Meanwhile, Jonas just stared straight at Oneida. 

His deep eyes were surging with a complex and dark glint. 

At this time, Oneida was surprised to hear what Lionel said. 

Oneida didn’t expect Lionel would give her the villa. 

She didn’t lack a house at all. 

Yet, to take it or not, this was a question. 

Oneida looked at Jackson subconsciously. 

Jackson was sitting in a wheelchair with clear eyes and a cold face. 

He was also looking at her. 

Jackson’s eyes were gentle and bright. 

Suddenly, he nodded slightly to Oneida. 

Oneida instantly understood what he meant. 

He wanted her to take it. 

Jackson didn’t want her to refuse Lionel’s kindness.

Oneida smiled at Jackson and then turned to look at Lionel. “Grandpa Lionel, do you really mean it? Are you really giving me the villa?” 

Her smiling eyes and sincere expression made Lionel extremely happy. 

He liked Oneida even more… 

“Of course, it’s true. Will I lie to you?” Lionel pretended to be angry and said, but there was still a faint smile in his eyes. “You can’t refuse it! You have to accept it even if
