The Second Act 126

Chapter 126 

At the time, Nathan and Hazel, who were sitting at the center, looked at each other

They never expected that Mátco would speak up and ask them for the mansion… 

However, it was reasonable

This mansion was originally intended for Mateo, but later Lucas took advantage and claimed it

The villa at Quakersvillethe old man squinted his eyes, his face showing no apparent emotion. He glanced at Yuliana and then smiled, Considering how capable Yuli is, it’s fine to give it you guys” 

Upon hearing these words, Mateo and Janet both showed joyous expressions on their faces

They had already set their sights on the mansion of Quakersville

However, they never found the right opportunity to speak up. But now, with Yuliana’s success, they felt more confident to bring it up

Lucas, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly

He knew that he wasn’t as smart nor as likable as Mateo. Nathan and Hazel always favored Mateo, and he never complained about anything

But now, it was just too much

Even Lucas couldn’t bear it anymore

Dad, I can’t just give away this mansion!He looked at Nathan and resolutely spoke up

Mateo and Janet both looked at him in surprise

Unexpectedly, this typically spineless Lucas dared to rebel… 

Dad, it’s not about greed, and I don’t care about the value of the mansion. To me, the mansion in Quakersville is my home and I can’t let it go,Lucas spoke earnestly, his face darkening. And as a man, if I’m just chased away like this, if I simply surrender my home, what dignity would I have left?” 

He spoke eloquently, and the entire hall fell into a profound silence

Everyone was silent

Oneida saw it all and couldn’t help but clenched her fingers tightly

You do make some sense.Suddenly, Nathan was the first to speak, breaking the eerie silence

The faces of Mateo and his family immediately stiffened

They wondered if the mansion they had just secured would soon slip away from their grasp

However,Nathan’s tone suddenly turned sharp, and a gleam of severity flashed in his eyes. Has your family ever achieved anything impressive? Your children are all mediocre, and you as a couple are quite ordinary. I didn’t want to say these words, but I have to say them to make you understand.” 

Nathan’s brow furrowed deeply, and a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes. If your family could produce someone who could bring glory to the Chaser family and make it into the Starr Training Camp, I would be willing to grant any requests!”

The question is, will there be any? Is it possible?Nathan did not spare Lucas any dignity, as he uttered each word with cutting harshness. This mansion in Quakersville, you’ve been living in it for so many years for granted, it’s time to return them now! The old man’s words struck Lucas to the core; each entence filled with stinging remarks

Lucasface turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn’t utter word

Tatiana couldn’t believe it as she stared wideeyed, her face alternating between pale and blushing, taking deep breaths in astonishment

Jennifer and Edmund also felt very frustrated

After all, Nathan scolded their entire family

He scolded them for their lack of achievement… 

No one would feel pleased upon hearing such words

In contrast, Mateo’s family was overjoyed

We’ll give the mansion in Quakersville back to Mateo, I still have a house in the suburbs. Whenever you are ready to move there, it will be yours.” Finally, Nathan sighed and said so

This matter was settled in this way, with no room for further negotiation

Oneida lowered her gaze slightly, fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop

The mansion in Quakersville, of course, cannot be given away

She had a plan in her heart

Subsequently, the family banquet commenced

As the main character, Yuliana naturally sat in the center, with Nathan and Hazel sitting around her

Oneida didn’t take her seat and instead went to the restroom

After coming out of the restroomto Oneida’s surprise, Yuliana was standing at the door, her lips curved into a faint smile as she looked at Oneida

The two of them locked eyes

Did you feel smug before?Yuliana’s smile gradually disappeared, and a fierce frostiness filled her eyes. I lost my face because of Charles before, while you were reveling in your success” 

Oneida’s cold eyes stared at Yuliana without a word, her expression unchanged

Are you still feeling proud now?Yuliana raised her chin, adopting a haughty and disdainful expression. Now, I am the most favored person in the Chaser family, while you are about to become an object of pity. How pathetic” 

I’ve always said that your whole family is a bunch of losers! And you, you’re the biggest loser of them all. What do you have to challenge me with?Yuliana released his builtup anger, In the future, when I join the Starr Training Camp and study under Curtiswe won’t even be in the same league.” 

Even Grandpa said that you’re just a country bumpkin, and country bumpkins should know their place. Don’t pretend to be superior anymore, alright? Show some respect when you see me. Be humble, understand?Yuliana retorted, her voice calm and composed

Oneida’s eyes flickered slightly, but she still didn’t say anything

Chapter 126 

Yuliana found Oneida’s indifferent and unresponsive demeanor particularly irritating as if she was impervious to her attempts to communicate

It was like punching a piece of cotton with no impact at all

57

Are you mute?Yuliana angrily exclaimed, glaring at Oneida with wide eyes. Are you challenging me mentally? Whether you like it or not, you must comply! Now the whole family listens to me because I’ve brought honor to our family. And you? You’re just a disgraceful person who only knows how to bring shame!” 

With that, Yuliana took out the invitation letter for the Starr Training Camp and waved it in front of Oneida, as if showing 

off

How do you like that? Are you jealous?Yuliana taunted, waving the invitation letter in front of Oneida. You probably won’t have a chance to be selected for the Starr Training Camp in your entire life. I can let you have a glimpse at this invitation letter. If you don’t look at it now, you won’t have the chance anymore.” 

Suddenly, Oneida snorted coldly, the disdain and contempt in her eyes undisguised

She couldn’t be bothered to respond with words. She simply used her shoulder to push aside Yuliana’s obstructing hand and then walked straight ahead

Unexpectedly, the impact caused Yuliana to drop the invitation letter from her hand and it flew away

The invitation letter flew in the air and, by a twist of fate, landed in the nearby fireplace

The fireplace was lit with a blazing fire

As the invitation letter fell, it was scorched halfway by the blazing fire

Yuliana widened her eyes in shock, a panicked look crossing her face. She instinctively reached out her hand, trying to retrieve the invitation letter from the fireplace, but before she could get close, the invitation letter was burned to ashes, with nothing left

Ahhhh!Yuliana clenched her fists in frustration, letting out a piercing scream

Her invitation was burned

She wondered if she would still be able to enter the Starr Training Camp without that invitation letter

Her brain was empty for a short time

Her heart was filled with shock and anger, and she felt like smashing the fireplace in frustration

Oneida watched coldly from the side

Unexpectedly, she found herself accidentally stumbling upon a fortunate turn of events

A thoughtless action had caused Yuliana’s heart to ache deeply

It turned out well

At this point, a crowd of people heard the scream and rushed over simultaneously

Yuli, what’s wrong?Nathan rushed over to Yuliana who was wearing a panicked and mournful expression on her face and gently asked
