Chapter 293
The scené descended into chaos.
Ruth lay unconscious in Lionel's arms.
"Call a doctor immediately!" Lionel ordered the servants, his voice urgent.
Ruth was quickly taken to her room, where doctors and servants attended to her. Fortunately, the doctor said she was just overwhelmed by shock and would be fine. Hearing this, Oneida couldn't help but sigh in relief.
She stepped back, but her foot seemed to catch on something, causing her to stumble.
At that moment, a steady hand caught her arm, providing a warm and reassuring grip.
Oneida turned her headeo find herself looking into a pair of deep, intense eyes, as dark as the deep night. It was Jackson.
Oneida had been so focused on exposing Jonas that she hadn't noticed Jackson.
The man before her stood over a head taller than her, his posture straight and elegant.
It was Jackson.
He could actually stand on his feet now!
Oneida's
eyes widened in disbelief as she took in the sight of Jackson standing there without his wheelchair.
Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"You-" Oneida stammered, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" Jackson's expression softened slightly, concern obvious in his voice.
"Jackson, your legs-" Oneida was still in shock, staring at his legs
Although her memories from her previous life told her that Jackson's legs would heal and he would walk again, she hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
"My legs are fine now," Jackson replied calmly with a nod.
Oneida slowly gathered herself, reaching out to grasp Jackson's arm.
"Jackson." Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes reddening.
Just then, Lionel emerged from the room.
He walked straight up to Claude and Jonas, his face cold as ice. Jonas, you-"
He pointed a trembling finger at Jonas's face, unable to contain his anger any longer.
His gaze burned with a towering rage as he glared at his two grandsons.
"Grandpa, I don't know anything about this!" Claude exclaimed, his eyes wide with a mix of confusion and indignation.

Chapter 293
Claude truly didn't know about these things..
He had been kept in the dark about Jonas's plans, including the kidnappings and poisoning.
These were all Jonas's schemes.

"Grandpa, I really don't know. Why would I poison Grandma?" Claude's voice was strained, on the verge of tears. He turned to Jonas, his brows furrowed. "Jonas, did you really do this? Did you really poison her?" Jonas remained silent for a long moment, his lips tightly pressed together.
He surveyed the room with narrowed eyes before suddenly breaking into a cold laugh.
His long, narrowed eyes gleamed with a chilling coldness, his handsome features shrouded in a frosty aura.
"I don't think I did anything wrong," Jonas said, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He seemed to have accepted this outcome, with a touch of madness in his expression.
"I'll do whatever it takes achieve my goals. I'm willing to do anything to get what I want!" Jonas's voice was icy and resolute, echoing around the room.
He clenched his fists, his gaze steely and unyielding.
"So, I did nothing wrong!" Jonas's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his back straight.
"But I lost." He let out a bitter laugh, a hint of sadness crossing his handsome face. "Victory or defeat, I accept the outcome."
Jonas knew he had failed.
He had forever lost his chance to take over the Bane family.
He had been defeated by Jackson.
Perhaps, this was his fate.
After years of meticulous planning, he still lost.
Jackson was truly a formidable and unpredictable genius.
"You did nothing wrong?" Lionel was trembling with rage, his eyes wide with fury, his expression contorted in anger.
father "After all the wrongs you've done, expelling you from the family is too lenient. You should face the same fate as your and be punished by the law!" Lionel's voice boomed with a commanding force. "And you too!" He turned his gaze to Claude, gritting his teeth. "Both of you brothers belong in prison!"
"Yes, they should be sent to prison!" Yvonne echoed, finally recovering from her shock.
She still couldn't believe that Ruth had been bedridden for so long, not due to illness but because Jonas had poisoned her! Poisoning was such a vile act.
How could Jonas commit such a horrific act against his own grandma?
The more Yvonne thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing for the two brothers to be punished as soon as possible.
"You two have committed countless crimes and harmed so many family members. I will never forgive you. Prison is where you belong!" She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

Chapter 293
Karen stood there, stunned and speechless.
She never imagined Jonas would go so far as to poison Ruth.
It was beyond her comprehension.
Jonas, how could he be so cruel?
How could he dare?
Bella, standing nearby, also looked unsettled.
She knew Claude would likely face punishment.
But what about herself?
183%
They weren't married yet. With Claude expelled from the family should she quickly distance herself from him?
Thinking this, she couldn't help but glance at Jackson.
The tall, handsome man stood not far away, strong and resolute like a tree, with Oneida beside him.
They were standing close, their arms touching, looking very intimate.
Bella felt a pang of jealousy.
If she left Claude and regained her freedom, would she have a chance with Jackson?
Her eyes darkened slightly before she quickly looked away, pretending she had never seen them together.
Just then, Jackson took a few steps forward, walking slowly and steadily toward Claude and Jonas.
"Grandpa," he said, looking down at Lionel with a calm expression. "Before sending them to prison, there's something I need to do."
