Two years ago, Randall had suffered a stroke. Completely incapacitated, he could no longer take care of himself.
Whenever he tried to speak, drool spilled from his mouth.
It all started after a reckless night with Fern and Virginia. When they discovered he had suffered a stroke, all three of them were found naked.
In the chaos that followed, several doctors, including royal doctors, confirmed that Randall had suffered a stroke and would be bedridden for the rest of his life.
The two women responsible for his condition were sold off immediately by Zea.
From that point on, things spiraled out of control. Manfred's rise to power was swift, and with the help of the Holland family, he eventually became the new head of the Atkinson family.
This rendered Zea and Cyril's attempts at self-preservation meaningless.
Now, whenever Zea thought about those years, it felt like a nightmare she couldn't wake up from. She almost constantly regretted not having eliminated Manfred seven or eight years ago.
If she had, she could have claimed to the Atkinson family that Manfred had passed away due to illness.
"We just have to hold on a little longer. I'll make sure everyone knows Manfred's true nature!" Zea's eyes were filled with rage, and her teeth ground together in frustration.
However, Cyril couldn't hold on any longer. He became increasingly unhinged.
"I'm the scion of the Atkinson family! You all have to listen to me! Kill Manfred! Kill him! End him! Hahaha… I'm the future head, not him! Manfred is nothing but a dog—a dog I will torture! Hahaha!"
These words echoed every day. The maids in the Atkinson family had grown so accustomed to them that they had become numb, pretending not to hear a thing.
Upon hearing those words, Zea's face turned pale. Looking at her son, who had already lost his sanity, she had become numb to it all.
