Chapter 392: Chapter 392

Chapter 392 “After this house is transferred to my name, I can leave your room intact, and you can stay here, so no need to worry about becoming homeless,”

Mateo said.

Then Edmund’s voice rose, “Let’s wait for my sister to have her say in this matter.”

Confused, Mateo inquired, “Who? Hasn’t Jennifer already agreed”

Hearing this, Edmund clenched his fists.

Standing alone in the hall at that moment, he realized Jennifer had aligned herself with Mateo.

“Edmund, I think it’s fine to let th stubbornness.

have the villa,” Jennifer advised in a low tone, unable to hold back as she saw Edmund’s She thought, “With Lucas and Tatiana away from home and not likely to return soon, Mateo undoubtedly wielded the most power in the Chaser family.

By giving the Quakersville villa to Mateo, I wouldn’t offend him; moreover, it could curry favor. Thus, I would have support within the Chaser residence, and Mateo, grateful for the house, should look after me. However, Edmund was obstinate, and stubborn to a fault. Was there any use in clinging to this villa? It seemed wiser to go with the flow and earn some goodwill by yielding the property to Mateo.

“Just listen and don’t be so stubborn,” Jennifer urged again. After saying so, she turned and gave Mateo a glance. “Uncle Mateo, Edmund is just young, a bit ignorant... He still respects you, though.”

Mateo, upon hearing this, remained expressionless, not uttering a word.

Next to him, Rachel let out a sarcastic laugh, “Edmund doesn’t seem too happy...”

She had come along with Mateo today.

She relished the chance to show off and bully a little.

2. 2.

Edmund glanced at them coldly, his eyes gleaming with a piercing clarity, “I said we wait for my sister.”

“Your sister? Which sister? You can’t mean-” Rachel stopped, an instinctual query in her voice.

“He means me,” Oneida announced.

Having listened from around the corner for long enough, Oneida could no longer contain herself and strode decisively into the hall. Her eyes narrowed slightly; her demeanor was cool and profound, emanating an immense presence and an air of command.

“Oneida.” At the sight of her, Edmund’s eyes brightened, his expression relaxing a fraction.

It was undeniable; Oneida’s presence brought him a sense of security like he had never known before.

On the other hand, Jennifer’s face tensed, and her lips pressed tightly together.

She thought, “Why has Oneida come back? If she interferes, things will certainly get complicated.’

Mateo glanced disdainfully at Oneida, utterly dismissive of her. He thought, “She’s just a girl! and was unwilling to give her a second glance.

“What are you doing here?” Rachel didn’t hide the disgust in her eyes as she frowned at Oneida, “We’re entitled to return to should stay out of this.” the villa, you “This is my family’s house,” Oneida retorted with a half–smile; her voice carried an air of detached confidence.

09:31 Mon, Dec 16 Chapter 392 “Your family’s? This house should have been ours.” Mateo declared forcefully, “It’s just that your parents got lucky. Now that they’re not here, it’s high time to take it back...”

Oneida’s fingers tightened subconsciously.

Lifting her eyes, she let out a cold snort, her voice tinged with mocking laughter, “Want the villa, do you?”

“Alright then.” Oneida’s smile grew sharper as a fierce glimmer shone in her eyes, “Let’s sell it to you at the market price, how about that?”

“I can even give you a friendship discount, but 15 million dollars is still on the table.”

“You.” Mateo’s eyes widened, his shoulders trembling with indignation, “How dare you ask us for money?”

Rachel, equally shocked, glared at Oneida and scoffed coldly, “What are you thinking? Sure, the house might be under your family’s name, but at the end of the day, it belongs to the Chaser family. Do you have the gall to sell it?”

Oneida tilted her head.

Looking at Rachel and Mateo who were hopping mad, she couldn’t help but sneer, “What are you, beggars? Wanting a house but not willing to pay...

Beggars have more backbone than you, at least they know when to kneel.”

That line set Edmund off.

He let out an involuntary chuckle, not able to contain it.

Then, just as quickly, he composed himself as if nothing had happened.

Edmund couldn’t help but steal a glance at Oneida.

That was quintessential Oneida, not a bit disappointing.

He never expected her to be so venomous with her words.

When those words hit Rachel and Mateo’s ears, it was as if a fuse had been lit to a keg of gunpowder.

Rachel was so angry she was stamping her feet, almost too furious to speak.

Rachel thought bitterly, “How can Oneida be so infuriating... She’s made a mess of their whole family, and now she has the nerve to taunt them.’

The truth was, Rachel and Mateo’s desire to reclaim the Quakersville villa was driven not only by their long–held wish to own it but also because William’s company was on the brink of bankruptcy, and they urgently needed a stable asset. The villa in Quakersville was undoubtedly valuable, which made securing it a necessity.

Everything seemed to be falling into place until Edmund refused to let go, and suddenly Oneida appeared on the scene.

Mateo, already seething with anger, glared at Oneida, flames of rage flickering in his eyes. “This is how you speak to me, Oneida? With Lucas and Tatiana gone, I should take it upon myself to discipline you.”

With that, Mateo strode towards Oneida, raising his hand as he walked.

Edmund was instantly alarmed and quickly reached out to pull Oneida back, worry shining in his eyes, “Oneida, be careful.”

It was clear to him that Mateo was intent on striking Oneida, and he feared for her safety.

Unexpectedly, before his hand could reach Oneida-

Edmund watched, eyes wide open, as Oneida delivered a clean kick to Mateo’s jaw.

09:31 Mon, Dec 16 Chapter 392 Everyone who saw this was astonished.

Jennifer’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

Rachel was frozen in place, unable to move, as if she had been cast in a spell.

3、385%2 Edmund felt a mix of shock and a refreshing sense of justice. After all, seeing Mateo treated like that was a guilty pleasure.

But he was also surprised -Oneida had shown no mercy to Mateo, unleashing her kick without a second thought.

Caught off guard by Oneida’s strike, Mateo was unable to touch her and was quickly sent reeling backward-

Finally, he staggered violently before collapsing heavily to the ground.

Mateo cried out in pain, his face contorting as he grimaced and gritted his teeth.

Rachel rushed over, crouching down beside him, her concern evident, “Dad, are you okay?”

Mateo inhaled sharply, his pain so intense he couldn’t speak.

Oneida, on the other hand, retracted her leg.

Oneida looked down, a mocking smile curling at her lips, as she gazed at Mateo sprawled on the ground.

45 Before, when Lucas was around, she couldn’t openly confront members of the Chaser family. But now, things were different.
