Chapter 366 Edmund was initially taken aback, but he politely extended his and to accept the box from Jackson.
As he gently opened it, he found an exquisite watch inside.
The watch was clearly valuable just from its appearance.
Examining the brand, Edmund realized it was a worldârenowned luxury watch.
Not only was it extremely expensive, but it was also a limited edition.
These watches were rare and often required connections to acquire.
This particular watch was a topâtier model, with a starting price in the millions.
This realization caused Edmundâs eyes to widen slightly.
As a boy, he loved watches?
Though the Chaser family was wellâoff, they could never afford such a luxury.
Yet here was his brotherâinâlaw, casually gifting him a watch worth millions.
Edmund felt a mix of surprise and joy.
Oneida noticed and smiled, asking her brother, âSo, do you like it?â
Edmund nodded, glancing at Oneida before looking at Jackson, a shy smile appearing on his lips. âThank you, law. I really like it.â
Jackson nodded calmly. âIâm glad you like it.â
Tatiana, watching from the side, was initially shocked and then thoughtful.
The watch was clearly highâend and definitely not cheap.
brotherâin-

This was expected of someone from the Bane family, generous and affluent.
Adjusting her expression, she smiled at Jackson, her tone slightly ingratiating. âWhy give him such an expensive gift? Heâs just a child.â
Hearing this, Jackson showed no reaction, his lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing. He seemed uninterested in engaging with Tatiana.
Feeling awkward, Tatiana clenched her fists.
She glanced at Jennifer beside her, a thought forming in her mind. She looked at Jackson, her tone suggestive, âToday is Jenniferâs birthday. Donât you and Oneida have something to give her? You were quick to give a meeting gift, but what about a birthday gift?â
Tatiana figured that since Jackson was so generous with Edmund, she should seize the opportunity to ask for a birthday gift for Jennifer.
No matter what Jackson gave, they would benefit The Chaser family, while prestigious, wasnât exceptionally wealthy.

Only a fool would say no to that.
Staring directly at Jackson, Tatiana seemed to be waiting for him to present the birthday gift.
Jennifer pursed her lips, not objecting.
She, too, was curious about what Jackson might give her.
While she didnât care much about money, she had a strong interest in highâend luxury items.
If Jackson gave her one, it would be great.
At this moment, both mother and daughter shared the same thoughts.
âYou! Forget it.â Lucas felt embarrassed, sighing deeply, unsure of what to say.
Who would ask for gifts like this?
It was too shameless, and Lucas couldnât bring himself to watch it.
Nathan, however, gave Lucas a cold glance. âWhy forget it? Coming to a birthday party emptyâhanded isnât right. Giving a gift is only expected.â
âYes,â Hazel chimed in with a pointed tone. âAnd not just a birthday gift. Meeting the elders for the first time, and giving some gifts is also expected.â
Hazelâs implication was clear.
Since Jackson had given Edmund a gift, he couldnât neglect the others.
Jenniferâs birthday gift and the eldersâ meeting gifts were equally necessary.
Oneida heard this and frowned, her gaze growing sharper.
âGood heavens! Are they treating Jackson like a bank, asking for so many gifts?â she thought.
Even if Jackson wanted to give them, theyâd have to get her approval first.
Just as Oneida was about to speak, Jackson lightly patted her shoulder, as if to reassure her.
Then, Jacksonâs cold, piercing gaze swept across the faces of those present, and he spoke nonchalantly, âI like Edmund as a brotherâinâlaw, so I gave him a gift. As for the rest of you-â
His handsome features were tinged with an icy sharpness. âMy presence here is the greatest gift youâll get.â
The words left Tatiana and Jennifer utterly stunned, their faces frozen in shock, unable to utter a single word.
Nathan and Hazel widened their eyes, anger bubbling up inside them.
This was nothing short of an insult.
Who would have thought that this seemingly aloof man could speak so provocatively? His words had shocked them. Tatiana, nearly losing her mind with rage, felt like she had been slapped in public after being mocked by Jackson.
Tatiana gritted her teeth and snapped at Jackson, her tone dripping with sarcasm, âWell, Mr. Jackson Bane, you sure are arrogant. But as far as I know, the ones in power in the Bane family are Mr. Jonas Bane and Mr. Claude Bane. Youâve always The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 365 2/3 09:09 Fri, Dec 13 Chapter 366 been out of the picture. So, really, the two are more influential and impressive, arenât they?â
Tatiana deliberately said this to deflate Jacksonâs arrogance.
Who does he think he is? Everyone in Jeahron knows that Jackson is just a peripheral figure in the Bane family. The real power lies with Claude and Jonas. Jackson canât compare to them at all!â she thought.
At this moment, Jacksonâs eyes flashed with coldness as he heard Tatianaâs words.
His handsome face remained tense.
The upheaval within the Bane family was a wellâkept secret.
Outside the family, no one knew that Jackson had become the true ruler after Roderickâs imprisonment and the downfall of Claude and Jonas, who had fled.
Tatiana, unaware, was gloating, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Jackson.
Suddenly, as if struck by a new idea, she sneered, âEven if your legs are no longer crippled, what can you do without power or future prospects?
Youâll never amount too much. Your woman will probably leave you, too.â
Tatiana glanced meaningfully at Oneida as she said this.
Jacksonâs eyes darkened. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Tatiana. âWhat do you mean by that?â
