Chapter 4
On the way to Jeahron, Lucas told Oneida the whole story
Meanwhile, Tatiana sat on one side of the car and uttered no words throughout the journey.
As the man in front of her kept talking, Oneida listened carefully, lost in thought
Lucas, in fact, was not a bad person and held no ill feelings toward Oneida. He was just easily influenced and a bit naive.
In Oneida's previous life, her relationship with Lucas soured over time and eventually crumbled due to Tatiana and Jennifer's instigation
But in this life, Oneida wouldn't allow the same thing to happen.
Lucas' mansion was!
s situated in Quakersville of Jeahran, surrounded by other wealthy homes
Calmly, Oneida followed her parents into the mansion.
"Ms. Chaser is back!"
At the sight of the trio, a maid ran over to greet Oneida and the couple
Her shout caused a stir throughout the entire mansion.
Other servants peeked out their heads to catch a glimpse of their masters' daughter who had been away from the family for 19 years. They were all quite intrigued about her. Then, the sounds of footsteps sounded from the stairs.
Wearing a white cotton dress, Jennifer descended the stairs with a handsome young boy following her.
This young man was the only son of Lucas and also Oneida's biological brother, Edmund Chaser.
Oneida recalled that in her previous life, she and Edmund had a bad relationship, and she had always believed that Edmund only saw Jennifer as his true
sister.
To Oneida's surprise, when the entire family wanted to use her blood to save Jenniler, Edmund stepped forward and objected to the suggestion,
"Oneida, my little sister Jennifer called out, bringing Oneida back to reality.
Oneida was considered the younger sister because Jennifer's real birthday came a
in a bit earlier than hers.
"Welcome home," Jennifer said with a gentle smile, her appearance resembling that of a pure lily.
Jennifer's demeanor gave off the impression that she was the legitimate and true daughter of the family.
Although everyone knew that Jennifer was not the lineage of the Chaser family, her biological mother had passed away. The Chaser family raised Jennifer for so many years that everyone still regarded her as the family's daughter. At this moment, Oneida, who actually carried the blood of the Chaser family, seemed
d like an outsider.
Pursing her lips, Jennifer said generously, "Oneida, I've packed my things and emptied the room. You can move in anytime."
"Why did you pack, Jennifer?" Tatiana's brow furrowed. While she sounded like she was scolding Jennifer, a hint of concern flashed across her eyes. "Our house is so spacious, and we don't
necessarily need your room. I told you that you're still my daughter and the precious jewel of the Chaser family. Nothing will change. You don't need to move out of your room
"But this room originally belonged to Oneida," said Jennifer while lowering her eyes, appearing innocent and considerate. "And it's the best room on the

second floor, I'm afraid Oneida won't be comfortable staying in the other rooms.
"Why wouldn't she be comfortable in the other rooms?" Tatiana retorted and gave Oneida a meaningful look. It was clear from Tatiana's expression that she believed even the worst room in this mansion was a luxury for a country bumpkin used to living in an adobe house With a calm expression, Oneida watched the incident unfold before her,
Just like in her past life, Jennifer suggested changing rooms on the day of Oneida's return to the Chaser residence.
In her past life, Oneida didn't see such a proposal as a problem.
She had thought it was natural for her to take back what belonged to her.
However, this action made Jennifer appear as the victim and earned her sympathy and pity from the whole family, while Oneida was seen as petty and calculative.
"It's not needed. I'll just take the first room on the third floor," Oneida said softly.
