Chapter 184 Oneida wasnât distant from Jackson, yet they were not so close, either. They definitely werenât close enough to having kids.
Hearing Yvonneâs words, Jackson was stunned a little, too, He replied faintly, âMom, Ida is still young and hasnât finished her studies. Itâs too early to have kids.
It was the first time Jackson had ever called Oneida âIdaâ.
The word sounded especially pleasing.
Hearing this, Oneida just kept her head down silently.
Yvonne felt that Jacksonâs words did make sense.
Oneida was only nineteen, after all. There really was no rush.
Yvonne realized she had been too eager.
They didnât continue the conversation but walked into the hall together.
The upscale wooden round table there was almost fully arranged.
Soon, everyone would be sitting there, having dinner together.
Claude and Bella were sitting on the couch, having no intention of greeting Yvonne as she approached.
After all, Claude had the final say in the Bane family. He feared no one else but Lionel.
Other than Lionel, Claude cared little for anyone else, including Yvonne, even though she was the wife of his father.
Just then, a tall man dressed in a black suit elegantly walked into the hall.
He was strikingly handsome and gentle with thin red lips, fair skin, and light pupils, exuding a subtly noble but aloof temperament.
Oneida noticed him immediately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man walked in, his gaze was fixed on Oneida from the getâgo.
The two of them locked eyes across the room, an unsaid conversation hanging in the air.
The manâs eyes were narrow, deep, and cold.
His gaze seemed casual yet unfathomable, emitting a mysterious chill. Being stared at with such eyes was really chilling. He was like a viper.
Exactly, a viper!
Looking at this man, Oneida thought it quite fitting to compare him to that creature.
He was definitely not a man to be trifled with.
âJonas, youâre finally here.â Claudeâs voice suddenly rang in Oneidaâs ears.
In a trice, Claude had approached that man, showing a genuinely warm smile. âYouâre the last one to show up. You must drink more later.â
ཥ ཥ འà½à¼ འà¼à½§à¼à½ That man just smiled, noncommittally.
Oneidaâs eyes twinkled slightly.
She thought, âSo, he is Jonas!â
Claude and Jonas were truly blood brothers.
It was said that their mother was a commoner, also the first love of Jacksonâs father.
Due to Lionelâs disapproval of their marriage, she never received her rightful status.
Despite this, she gave birth to two boys in secret.
13 1/3 4:34 PM Chapter 184 The elder one was Claude and the younger one was Jonas.
Though they were illegitimate children, Lionel couldnât bear to see the family bloodline cast aside, so the boys were brought into the Bane family Unexpectedly, Jacksonâs father was a true playboy. Apart from his offspring with his first love, he had another child with another woman.
This child was Karen.
Karen came to the Bane family alone after she listened to her motherâs last words.
Subsequently, she became the third child of the Bane family..
The fact that the first three children of the esteemed Bane family were illegitimately born by two women shocked the entire Jeahron when the news broke out.
Later on, Jacksonâs father finally heeded his parentsâ wishes and turned over a new leaf in preparation for marriage.
His bride was none other than Yvonne, the daughter of the Lowell family.
Shortly after their marriage, Yvonne gave birth to a son.
He was Jackson.
Jackson was the youngest, the fourth child of the Bane family, and the one with the most legitimate lineage.
As the only legitimate child, he was the most noble son of the Bane family.
Ironically, he was disabled in both legs, detached from worldly affairs. Besides, Karen devoted herself to showbiz, paying no regard to the affairs of the Bane family.
Therefore, the major control of the Bane family resided with Claude and Jonas.
The two could be said to rule the roost within the Bane family.
Oneida fixed her eyes on the two brothers.
They didnât look alike.
Claude appeared somewhat greasy, while Jonas was refreshingly handsome.
However, Jonas gave her no good impression.
Claude was a visibly base person with his feelings completely undisguised, while Jonas was unfathomable.
Such an individual was even harder to deal with.
As Oneida pondered, Jonas walked unhurriedly from Claudeâs side towards Oneida and the others.
He first courteously greeted Yvonne. âAunt Yvonne.â
Hearing this, Yvonne couldnât help but smile at him.
Compared to Claude, Yvonne liked Jonas.
Unlike Claude, who was always looking down on her, Jonas had always been polite to her since young and had often helped her out and treated Jackson quite well too.
After greeting Yvonne, Jonas turned to look at Jackson who was sitting in a wheelchair. Jonas smiled faintly, âJackson, howâs it going?â
Jackson just nodded slightly and responded indifferently, âNot bad.â
âGood. If you need any help, just tell me,â Jonas said with narrowed eyes and in a deep voice.
After that, his gaze shifted to Oneida, his eyes flashing a glint of sharpness.
Despite its fleeting, Oneida caught it.
She slightly tightened her fingers, her expression cold as she met his gaze.
Jonas smiled gently, looking every bit a gentleman.
2/3 434 PM Chapter 184 However, Onrida knew he was not âSo, youâre Oneida Jonasâ voice was light. âNice to meet grow?
Oneida gave a forced smile. âMe th Just then, a servant enddenly ran into the hall.
âMr. Roderick Bane i buk At this news, everyone changed their faces.
Many were visibly surprised.
The soâcalled âMr. Roderick Bane mentioned by the servant was Jacksonâs father.
The reason everyone was so surprised was that Roderick hadnât been home for a week.
He was just a nominal chairman of the Rane Group. In fact, Claude and Jonas had taken over the family business a long time ago. All Roderick needed to do was party his life away.
It was pretty common for him not to come home for a month.
The only silver lining was that Roderick hadnât fathered any more illegitimate children. Otherwise, he might have pissed Lionel off When she heard Roderick come back, Yvonne couldnât help but frown. She muttered, âWell, does he know he has a home? He still has his conscience, huh? I thought he wouldnât even show up for his fatherâs birthday.â
Just then, a tall man staggered into the hall.
He was in a dark jacket, looking handsome.
Roderick was naturally handsome. If not, how could his children all be goodâlooking?
However, at this moment, Roderick seemed to be drunk.
His checks were flushed, his gaze was bleary, and he was barely able to stand.
