Chapter 1147 Family Betrayal
The entity responsible for the monetary transfer to the driver originated from a corporate account, with Kenneth Gray serving as the company's legal representative.
Kenneth Gray—the name resonated with a hint of familiarity, igniting a furrow in Colin's brow.
As he sifted through his recollections, Colin pieced together fragments of memory. If he remembered correctly… Yes, Kenneth is a minor shareholder within the company.
Colin's memories of encountering Kenneth at a shareholders' meeting flooded back. The man possessed a slender frame and youthful appearance, yet his eyes shimmered with an unmistakable aura of ambition.
Throughout the meeting, Kenneth had steadfastly opposed Colin, challenging every statement he made alongside other shareholders.
Colin silently acknowledged that navigating such encounters with Kenneth would have proved daunting without Lennon's intervention.
With a deep breath, Colin refocused his attention on the documents before him.
Interestingly, this individual, known as Kenneth Gray, had no familial ties to the Gray family.
He had no father, and his mother's surname was Miller; Kenneth stood apart. He also had a younger brother.
As Colin grappled with his thoughts, the office door creaked open, revealing Lennon's entrance.
Laden with the lingering scent of women's perfume, Lennon approached Colin, placing an A4 paper before him, and prompted, "Take a look at this."
Assuming it pertained to company matters, Colin didn't dare to overlook it and promptly picked up the paper to read.
However, to his surprise, the paper bore only a concise list: peanuts, durian, pollen, stuffed animals, the sound of pencil writing, and the crack of a whip.
Perplexed, Colin furrowed his brow. "What is this?"
"Things that Lucy must avoid," Lennon reiterated as he returned to his seat without a backward glance. "She is allergic to peanuts, pollen, and stuffed animals, which trigger symptoms such as fever, sneezing, and hives."
"As for durian, she despises the fruit, finding its scent discomforting," Lennon continued, listing Lucy's aversions. "The sound of writing with a pencil also greatly irritates her."
Lennon nodded in agreement. "Indeed, that seems to be the current state of affairs. However, relying solely on this transaction record, we lack sufficient evidence to implicate Anthony. We require more concrete proof."
"But..." Colin lifted his head, his throat tight, his voice quivering. "Could it be conceivable..."
"Is it within the realm of possibility that this is a ploy orchestrated by Anthony's illegitimate child alone to incriminate Aunt Dorothy falsely? Could it be that Uncle Anthony has no direct involvement?" His eyes, deep pools of darkness, shimmered with a glimmer of hope. "It's a plausible scenario, isn't it?"
He struggled to comprehend... couldn't fathom the idea that Uncle Anthony, who harbored such profound affection for Aunt Dorothy, could be entangled in such deception...
Colin had been nurtured under the care of Anthony and Dorothy.
To him, they were more than mere aunt and uncle.
In his heart, Colin had long regarded Anthony and Dorothy as his own parents.
No child could reconcile with the notion that their father plotted against their mother.
