But now, with Lucas gone and Mateo having pushed her to the brink, Ida didn't feel the n

need to show any respect to Mateo.

"Sorry if that kick hurt," Oneida's smile intensified at the corners of her mouth as she spoke with a mocking tone.

Just then- there came footsteps from the doorway of the hall.

Nathan and Hazel suddenly made their appearance before everyone.

They had been summoned by Mateo, who believed that involving Nathan and Hazel would make the process of reclaiming the villa smoother. However, what they hadn't expected was to witness such a scene upon their arrival.

Their most beloved son was now lying on the ground in agony.

"What has happened, Mateo?" Nathan's eyebrows furrowed deeply as he hastily approached his son, concerned.

Seeing this, Hazel was also shocked and distressed.

"Grandpa, Grandma, you have to do something about Oneida." Rachel quickly complained to the elders, "She just attacked Dad."

At those words, Nathan and Hazel's gaze turned sharply towards Oneida.

Meeting their stare unflinchingly, Oneida remained composed, her lips pursed in a defiant expression.

"Oneida?" Nathan's eyes widened with fury as he growled at her, "What are you doing? You dare to hit Mateo; have you lost your mind?"

Hazel couldn't contain her anger either and scolded harshly, "Oneida, are you still human? How could you do such a vile thing."

Then turning her gaze back to Mateo, who was still trying to catch his breath through the pain, Hazel was overcome with concern for him. Nathan's eyes, deep and seething, continued to glare at Oneida as if to bore a hole right through her.

"Oneida, get out of here. You're a disgrace, turning the Chaser family into a complete shambles. Get out. I don't want to see you again," Nathan exclaimed. "Furthermore," his face turned red with anger, "I've already decided to give the Quakersville villa to Mateo. Your disagreement won't make a difference."

After saying this, he glanced at Edmund, expressing apparent disappointment, "I heard you've been talking back to Mateo. Unwilling to vacate the house? What's the point of being so stubborn... And stay away from that troublemaker Oneida, lest she corrupts you." Hearing this, Edmund was stunned.

He glanced at Oneida before turning to address his grandfather, "Grandpa, my sister's good, she..."

Nathan snorted coldly, cutting Edmund off, "Don't speak for her and from now on, don't associate with her. Remember, you're a member of the Chaser family. Don't mix with the likes of her who can't show their face in respected company."

Upon hearing Nathan's harsh words, a flash of anger surged in Edmund's eyes. He couldn't bear to see Oneida judged so unfairly by his grandfather.

"Dad." Mateo abruptly spoke up, with Rachel assisting him to his feet. He had slowly risen from the floor, his voice thick with indignation. "Oneida indeed needs to be cast out of our family and stricken from our records. She does not deserve the Chaser family." Nathan thought Mateo's words were right.

Nathan thought, "Tatiana, Oneida's mother, was a disgrace, her origins in the countryside tarnishing the Chaser family's reputation. Like a harbinger of bad luck, she had brought nothing but turmoil. Now, with Lucas absent, it's the perfect opportunity to rid her of "That's right, Grandpa." Rachel also spoke up, her voice a mix of grievance and anger. "Don't forget that my mom is bedridden, my brother is in jail, and Jennifer is battling depression... and all this chaos was caused by Oneida. Such a bad creature, who cares nothing for her kin, should be ousted from our own family."

Her words further fanned the flames of anger in Nathan and Hazel.

Indeed, it was Oneida who had caused all these troubles.

If not for Oneida, Mateo's family would have been living a good life.

"So, you should just leave." Nathan glared viciously at Oneida, fury about to explode from his eyes.

Edmund looked at Oneida, his eyes filled with concern and affection.

Oneida's face, however, was completely impassive.

She stood like a cold, indifferent sculpture, her gaze deep and somber.

"Do you think I want to stay with the Chaser family?" Oneida let out a cold laugh, her delicate features veiled with an icy frost. "I just have unfinished business here."

The Chaser family, utterly rotten to the core, required a thorough cleansing.

She looked towards Edmund, whose eyes slightly darkened.

Of the current Chaser family, it was probably only Edmund who remained clear-headed and kind-hearted.

For Edmund's sake, she needed to set things right in the Chaser family.

"Nathan, Hazel," Oneida said, no longer addressing them as Grandpa and Grandma, "I now want you to hand over control of the Chaser family to me."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Nathan trembled as if he had heard some ludicrous fable, "Oneida, are you dreaming or mad?" Mateo widened his eyes as well, staring at Oneida as if she were a fool.

Mateo thought, 'What is Oneida rambling about? I haven't even gained control of the Chaser family, and she dares to claim it for herself?'

"Oneida, are you sick in the head?" Mateo couldn't help but curse out loud, "You think you're worthy of the Chaser family's control?"

Hazel was equally shocked by Oneida's audacious claim, looking at her bewildered, "Oneida, are you delusional?"

A

Oneida knew they would react this way. She let out a low laugh, her eyes filled with defiant pride, "I'm seeking control not for myself... I'm doing it for Edmund."

At her words, Edmund's eyes widened in shock.

Is Oneida fighting for control.... for my sake?' Edmund thought.

Mon,

Oneida lifted her chin, continuing, "Nathan, Hazel, you're getting on in years and it's time to step down. The Chaser family wealth and the reins of power should be entrusted to the younger generation."

Though Edmund is young, he's determined and warm-hearted If he were given control, he would manage the Chaser family well," Oneida insisted.

"Oneida, what nonsense are you spouting?" Mateo, the first to object, exclaimed, "I'm not dead yet. The Chaser family won't fall into the hands of a kid like Edmund on my watch."

Oneida scoffed, taunting Mateo with a dismissive tone, "Sorry, but you're not fit."

"I'm not fit?" Mateo was infuriated to laughter by her words, glaring bitterly at Oneida. "Do you know about my ninth-grade elite medal? I'm the only one in the entire Chaser family with such distinction. I am the most capable one here. "What do you count for? On what basis do we hand over control to you? Even considering it, it would never go to a teenager."
