The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)

Chapter

292

Jonas stood to the side, his eyes cast downward, his expression indifferent and numb.

The message implied by their expressions was clear to everyone

It was clear that they had admitted it.

"You-" Tears welled up in Ruth's eyes, threatening to spill over. Why would you harm him? How could you-

"You wanted Jack dead! How could you have such an evil thought at such a young age?" It was rare for Ruth to look so angry. She clenched her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Jack is your brother, too." "They never considered Jackson their brother!" Yvonne exclaimed, tears brimming in her eyes as well. "What they had done to Jackson, they could never make it up in this lifetime!"

"Claude, Jonas!" Lionel's voice followed, his face now calm but his eyes cold and intimidating. "We don't tolerate such murderers in the Bane family. Leave. I forbid you from entering the family again!"

Claude and Jonas were visibly shocked by this.

"Grandpa!" Claude called out in disbelief, his eyes wide like saucers.

Of course, he didn't want to leave the Bane family.

All that he currently possessed had been provided by the Bane family. He has already lost control over the Bane.

If he were to leave the Bane family, he would truly have nothing left!"

"Grandpa, I was wrong!" Claude pleaded desperately, his voice full of humility. "I shouldn't have done it. Please don't make me leave. I was too young and hated Jackson so much, which drove me to do such a silly thing. I've grown up now. I'll be a good brother to him, I promise!"

Claude, lacking any pride, begged like a child who had done something wrong.

Jonas, standing beside him, remained expressionless.

He knew it was over.

Jackson was going to take over completely.

All his years of effort and all his schemes had been for nothing.

Jackson's every move today had been fatal, leaving him no chance to defend himself.

"If the Bane family won't keep you, then come with me!" Seeing Lionel's decision to expel her sons, Wendy said defiantly.

Although she too was reluctant to part with the Bane family's status and wealth, she knew that with Jackson in charge, Claude and Jonas would never have a good life.

Leaving seemed the better option.

"Mom, can you just stop talking?" Claude complained immediately, facing Wendy.

He didn't want to leave the Bane family, not in the slightest.

"You're still going to stay here with your head down?" Wendy frowned, utterly perplexed. Chapter 292

Just as the mother and son were about to argue further, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance hall, drawing everyone's attention.

A slender figure appeared at the doorway.

It was Oneida.

After leaving that basement, she hurried straight to the Bane manor, determined to expose Jonas's hypocritical facade.

She hadn't expected the Bane manor to be so crowded.

Jackson's eyes immediately locked onto Oneida.

His gaze was like a hawk's, fixed intently on his woman, scrutinizing her.

Oneida looked a bit haggard and thinner.

Though he knew Oneida had likely escaped, seeing her alive and well in person still made him unable to take his eyes off her.

"Ida, why are you-" Lionel didn't expect Oneida to suddenly appear. He looked a bit confused.

Oneida walked unhurriedly into the hall, her cold and indifferent gaze sweeping the room before finally settling on Jonas. "I'm here because of Jonas."

"Ida, did Jonas really kidnap you?" Yvonne asked urgently upon hearing this.

Oneida immediately understood.

It seemed everyone already knew about Jonas's deeds.

The crowd gathered in the hall was clearly there to confront Claude and Jonas.

"Yes." Oneida nodded, her eyes cold and sharp as she stared at Jonas. "He kidnapped me twice."

"Twice!" Yvonne's eyes widened with intense anger.

"Jonas, you!" Lionel sighed deeply, seemingly having lost patience with the two brothers. "Our family can't keep you two anymore. Leave at once on your own, or we'll take measures."

"Grandpa, their wrongdoings go beyond that-" At this moment, Oneida suddenly spoke. She let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with contempt. "Grandma was in poor health before, bedridden, but it wasn't actually caused by an illness. She was poisoned by Jonas! And it's an extremely malicious poison called Red Death."

This revelation left everyone in shock.

This was too unbelievable and yet too terrifying.

It felt like a plot straight out of a drama. How could this happen in real life?

Oneida's intense gaze fixed on Jonas, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Ever since she cred Ruth of the poison, she had been pondering who the poisoner was.

This person had to be someone within the Bane family.

When she uncovered Jonas's true nature, she was certain that Jonas was the one who poisoned her.

He had both the motive and the capability.

She even had Simon investigate, and it turned out just as she suspected that Jonas had something to do with Red Death.

He was indeed the poisoner.

"Ida, is what you're saying true?" Lionel's eyes widened as if hearing something unbelievable.

He was uncharacteristically emotional and lost control of his emotions.

"Absolutely. Oneida nodded solemnly. "These were all confirmed by Dr. Ryan."

Of course, she couldn't admit it was her discovery, so she attributed everything to Dr. Ryan.

"I invited Dr. Ryan from Mount Esterwilde. She saved Grandma and told me everything." Oneida sneered coldly. "Dr. Ryan knew it was caused by poison at a glance. Humph, evil deeds will always leave traces." Jackson watched Oneida in silence, his lips tightly pressed together.

This revelation was what he had planned to announce next.

Unexpectedly, Oneida hed beaten him to it.

Seeing her vibrant and confident demeanor, he couldn't help but smile softly.

"Mrs. Ruth Bane!" A servant suddenly screamed.

Ruth, unable to bear the truth about being poisoned, had fainted Her frail body collapsed backward, eyes closed.

Lionel's eyes widened in shock, his face turning pale as he hurriedly moved to support his wife.
