Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Bella thought, Jackson is cold and detached. He should stand up for a girl and even confront his own father for her! Has he truly fallen in love with her?â
Thinking this, Bella couldnât help but clench her fingers, her face also suddenly darker.
At this moment, Yvonne was sitting on the edge of the bed in her bedroom with red eyes, tears continually streaming down.
She started crying the moment she entered the bedroom.
Oneida and Jackson could only watch by the side.
After Yvonne had almost cried herself out, Jackson reached out and handed her a clean, neat handkerchief.
Yvonne took it and frantically wiped her face.
At this very moment, she was no longer a graceful, dignified lady but a woman who was heartbroken and wanted to cry.
âHe might as well not come back!â Yvonne sobbed as she spoke, looking at Jackson with eyes full of pity. âYou finally came home. How could he treat you like this? Jackson, donât take it to heart.â
As she talked, tears again surged from her eyes, her voice laden with a deep cry. âWhy does he treat you in this way? Youâre his son, a legitimate one! Why does he detest you so much? He doesnât like you, but even resents you...â
Jacksonâs expression remained unchanging.
Seeing Yvonne so upset, he couldnât help but whisper comforting words. âMom, itâs okay.â
He was already used to it and had seen through it all.
He had never known what fatherly love was since he was born.
That was because he never had it.
He always watched Claude and Jonas receive expensive toys from Roderick and laughed with him.
None of that belonged to Jackson.
When he was young, he had yearned for just one look from Roderick.
It turned out that it was just a pipe dream of Jackson.
Thus, later on, he stopped dreaming of paternal love.
He decided to become powerful.
Now, he was powerful enough.
He would make all of them pay for him at the right time.
Oneida who was standing by fixed her gaze on Jacksonâs face.
Before coming to the Bane manor, she had guessed that Jackson didnât have a good status in the Bane family.
Unexpectedly, the reality turned out to be even more brutal than she had imagined.
Jackson was so disregarded in the Bane family!
Little wonder he moved out of the Bane manor and lived alone in Garrison Mansion.
If he had stayed in the Bane manor, he might have ended up with a mental disorder because of his family.
Oneida stared blankly at Jackson.
At that moment, she made up her mind.
She would protect him.
1/3 .
413 4:34 PM Chapter 186 From now on, she would protect Jackson no matter what would happen, just like how she had fiercely slapped Roderick in the hall.
She didnât care if Roderick was Jacksonâs father. As long as he hurt Jackson, she would retaliate!
Jackson was still cold, appearing very strong.
However, Oneida thought, âHis childhood must have been very bleak.
âBut thatâs okay, Iâll be with him. Everything is going to be different.
âIâll make him happy Meanwhile, Yvonne kept crying.
She went on and on, complaining completely about Roderick.
When she was about done, Oneida suddenly asked, âWhy donât you just divorce him?â
Yvonne seemed to really despise Roderick or to say she hated him.
Why did she still insist on staying in the Bane family instead of opting for divorce?
Yvonneâs gaze faltered for a moment.
A trace of sorrow crossed her eyes. âI do want to! Iâve definitely considered divorce.â
Yvonne had of course thought about divorce.
However, for Jacksonâs sake, she hadnât gone through with it.
Once divorced, she wouldnât be able to stay in the Bane manor. Then, she wouldnât be able to protect or look after Jackson.
The Bane family would never let her take Jackson away!
Yvonne once brought it up, wanting to take Jackson with her if she divorced, but Lionel dismissed the idea.
The Bane family, as a traditionally noble one, would never let their grandsons end up out in the cold.
Once caught in the web of a powerful family, Yvonne had no way to leave with Jackson.
Therefore, for Jacksonâs sake, she could only endure and stay in the Bane family.
Jackson was her lifeâs only concern.
Yvonne felt it was a thorough mistake for her to marry Roderick.
She had met Roderick when she was still young.
It was at an upperâclass gathering.
Back then, Roderick was a charming young man, handsome and dashing, with a look that could bewitch anyone.
It was his charming look that captivated Yvonne.
She fell for Roderick at first sight and daydreamed about him relentlessly.
Later when she found out he had a beloved first love, she even cried a river.
Just when she thought about giving up, Roderick actually planned on abandoning his first love to marry a girl of equal social status!
Yvonne knew her chance had come.
Even though Roderick already had two illegitimate children with his first love, and despite his scandalous repur him.
she was determined to marry She wasnât affected by the persuasion and objection and focused solely on marrying Roderick.
Eventually, her parents gave in.
She got her wish and became part of the Bane family.
2/3 Chapter 180 At that time, with his rumors everywhere, Roderick was infamous throughout Jeahron Despite that he was from the affluent Bane family, no rich lady wanted to marry him.
After all, no one would like to marry a playboy with illegitimate children!
Only Yvonne, like a fool, married him headâon like a moth to a flame.
She had thought she could touch his heart and make him turn over a new leaf.
In fact, right after they married, Roderick did have a brief change.
They enjoyed a rather sweet honeymoon period, during which she even got pregnant with Jackson.
Nevertheless, happiness came fast and left just as quickly.
While she was struggling through her pregnancy, Roderick was cheating on her.
Not only was he still hung up on his first love, keeping in touch with her behind the scenes, but he was also close with quite a few other women.
Even Karen, an illegitimate daughter, came at that time.
Yvonne was so upset that she almost had a miscarriage.
Fortunately, Jackson was a lucky child and was finally born.
However, due to being premature, he had been rather frail as a child.
Because of this, Yvonne always felt a deep sense of guilt towards him.
Now, Yvonne and Roderick had effectively separated, sharing a house but otherwise like strangers.
The two of them pretty much stayed out of each otherâs hair.
His indulgence in dissipation was none of her concern.
In her heart and eyes, there was only Jackson.
She knew she deserved this, no one else to blame.
She was the only one who should be blamed. She was naive and fool. Had she listened to her parents, she wouldnât have become like this.
The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 185 Thus, all of this was the punishment she deserved.
But as long as Jackson was safe and happy, her pain didnât matter.
With that thought, Yvonne slowly stopped crying. She bit her lip and murmured, âForget it. No more on it.â
Suddenly, there was a knock at the bedroom door.
