chapter1854

Over the past few days, Fern and Virginia had gathered all the information about the Atkinson family. They discovered that Manfred's life was worse than that of the maids.

"Randall, this matter needs to be reconsidered. These two women were originally purchased as companions for Manfred. Their status is far too low to be suitable as your partners," Zea quickly explained.

She was adamant in her disapproval.

Fern and Virginia immediately dropped to their knees.

"We truly admire you, Mr. Randall. Even if we're only allowed to stay here as your maids, we'd be forever grateful. We have no romantic feelings for Mr. Manfred."

"That's right. It was only after meeting you that I understood what true love is, Mr. Randall. No one else could ever compare to you. My heart will hold no one but you."

The two women, with their enchanting figures and well-practiced charms, knew how to play their roles perfectly. Their tearful pleas and yearning glances seemed to pull at Randall's heartstrings.

Randall, who hadn't felt so invigorated in years, couldn't have been more

delighted. These two were his newest obsession, and he couldn't bring himself to see fault in them.

Frowning slightly, he declared, "They both served me well last night. Their devotion is what matters, not their backgrounds. This is settled. There's no need for further discussion."

Zea wanted to say something more, hoping that Randall might change his mind. But Rhea gently tugged at her sleeve and slightly shook her head.

Zea took a deep breath to calm herself before forcing a stiff smile. "Then congratulations on acquiring two such devoted ladies, Randall."

Randall nodded, his attention already returning to his new companions.

Meanwhile, Kemp relayed the entire situation to Manfred. Upon hearing the news, Manfred's expression remained unchanged.

Finally, he asked Kemp, "Can you send a letter to my grandfather?"

"Of course," Kemp replied without hesitation.

"Send a letter to my grandfather. I want to make sure both Randall and Zea pay for what they did. They conspired to murder my mother," Manfred said.

Kemp's expression changed. "Mr. Holland Senior suspected the cause of Ms. Queenie's death as well. Are you sure Randall and Zea have gotten so bold?"

Manfred's expression was emotionless. "There's nothing they won't do."

Kemp immediately recalled the

events of the past few years. The more he learned, the more it seemed Randall and Zea had gotten too comfortable in their privileged lives.

"I'll send the letter right now," Kemp said in a low voice.

A few days later, Vivian looked at the

bracelet on her wrist, her face serious and a bit anxious. No matter how she thought about Manfred,

she couldn't bring herself to go to his place.

She had been trying every day for the past few days, but she still couldn't make it

to Manfred's place. It had been a whole week now.

"Does this mean I can never see Manfred again?" she muttered to herself.

If it weren't for the signs pointing to her experience being real, she might have

convinced herself that everything with Manfred had just been a dream.

But because of those signs, she was almost certain that she would never see him again.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Vivian, dinner's ready. It's all your favorite dishes. Come downstairs," Edgar's voice came from outside.

Vivian, not feeling very cheerful, responded softly, "Okay."

After receiving her reply, Edgar lingered for a moment at the door.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Vivian seemed to have something on her mind. She had Docked herself in her room all
