Upon reaching the second-floor study, Axel tossed Gideon into the room, slammed the door shut, and stationed himself outside.

Now, it was just Gideon and Tarquin, grandfather and grandson, alone in the room.

Initially, Gideon was a mix of panic and defiance, but then he burst into laughter, "Yes, it was all me! Hahaha, I've been slowly poisoning Elijah over the years, at least seven or eight times. The poison was slow-acting, not lethal, but painful enough to make him suffer!

Every time he got poisoned, Elijah must have felt terrible, especially during the initial days when the poison was at its strongest. He'd sweat buckets and grimace in pain, haha.

But, oh, how naïve you were, always thinking his illness was due to his obsession with his mother!

And why did I poison Elijah? It's all because of you!

If he didn't have you as his father, he wouldn't have suffered so much!

So, yes, I am the culprit, but you're not innocent either. All the suffering Elijah has endured over the years is on you!"

Gideon knew exactly how to hit Tarquin where it hurt!

Tarquin, with a stern face and red eyes, clenched his lips tightly and glared at him for a long while before speaking, "You haven't changed a bit, always ready to do anything for your own agenda, even if it means harming your own flesh and blood!

Back then, you targeted your own son, and now, your great-grandson. Is power really that important to you? Is that all you live for?"

Gideon, with a scowl, retorted, "Of course, power is important. Without it, would any of you even consider me? If I had power, would you dare treat me this way?

And as for your father and Elijah, don't pin all their suffering on me! I wanted to harm them, true, but I never wished for their deaths!

They suffered because, like your father, you never listened to me! If you had not always opposed me, I wouldn't have thought of harming you!"

"Hah!" Tarquin scoffed coldly, "So, you harm others, and it's still their fault?!"

Gideon snorted coldly, "That is the truth. Take it or leave it!"

Before Tarquin could respond, Gideon arrogantly added, "I know you're furious right now, but remember, I have something you desperately want. If you dare harm me, I'll destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, Tarquin's face contorted with rage, veins bulging on his forehead as his anger spiraled out of control!

He jerked his tie loose and called out, "Axel!"

Axel pushed the door open and stepped inside, "Yes?"

"He's delirious. Make him see sense, make him understand his current situation!"

With those words, Tarquin rose, cigarette in hand, and left the room.
