The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
The Second Act 366

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 world-renowned 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 top-tier model, with a starting price in the millions.

This realization caused Edmund's eyes to widen slightly.

As a boy, he loved watches?

Though the Chaser family was well-off, they could never afford such a luxury.

Yet here was his brother-in-law, casually gifting him a watch worth millions.

Edmund felt a mix of surprise and joy.

Oneida noticed and smiled, asking her brother, "So, do you like it?"

Edmund nodded, glancing at Oneida before looking at Jackson, a shy smile appearing on his lips. "Thank you, law. I really like it." Jackson nodded calmly. "I'm glad you like it."

Tatiana, watching from the side, was initially shocked and then thoughtful.

The watch was clearly high-end and definitely not cheap.

This was expected of someone from the Bane family, generous and affluent.

Adjusting her expression, she smiled at Jackson, her tone slightly ingratiating. "Why give him such an expensive gift? He's just a child."

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, "Today is Jennifer's birthday. Don't you and Oneida have something to give her? You were quick to give a meeting gift, but what about a birthday gift?" 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, wasn't exceptionally wealthy.

A gift from Jackson, potentially worth millions, was a windfall they couldn't miss out on.

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 didn't care much about money, she had a strong interest in high-end luxury items.

If Jackson gave her one, it would be great.

At this moment, both mother and daughter shared the same thoughts.

"You! Forget it." Lucas felt embarrassed, sighing deeply, unsure of what to say.

Who would ask for gifts like this?

It was too shameless, and Lucas couldn't bring himself to watch it.

Nathan, however, gave Lucas a cold glance. "Why forget it? Coming to a birthday party empty-handed isn't right. Giving a gift is only expected."

"Yes," Hazel chimed in with a pointed tone. "And not just a birthday gift. Meeting the elders for the first time, and giving some gifts is also expected." Hazel's implication was clear.

Since Jackson had given Edmund a gift, he couldn't neglect the others.

Jennifer's birthday gift and the elders' meeting gifts were equally necessary.

Oneida heard this and frowned, her gaze growing sharper.

'Good heavens! Are they treating Jackson like a bank, asking for so many gifts?' she thought.

Even if Jackson wanted to give them, they'd have to get her approval first.

Just as Oneida was about to speak, Jackson lightly patted her shoulder, as if to reassure her.

Then, Jackson's cold, piercing gaze swept across the faces of those present, and he spoke nonchalantly, "I like Edmund as a brother-in-law, so I gave him a gift. As for the rest of you-"

His handsome features were tinged with an icy sharpness. "My presence here is the greatest gift you'll get."

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, "Well, 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. You've always

been out of the picture. So, really, the two are more influential and impressive, aren't they?"

Tatiana deliberately said this to deflate Jackson's 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 can't compare to them at all!' she thought.

At this moment, Jackson's eyes flashed with coldness as he heard Tatiana's words.

His handsome face remained tense.

The upheaval within the Bane family was a well-kept secret.

Outside the family, no one knew that Jackson had become the true ruler after Roderick's 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, "Even if your legs are no longer crippled, what can you do without power or future prospects? You'll never amount too much. Your woman will probably leave you, too." Tatiana glanced meaningfully at Oneida as she said this.

Jackson's eyes darkened. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Tatiana. "What do you mean by that?"
