Chapter 1100 Encountering Jude
"I can go home alone," Beckham asserted, a casual wave accompanying his words. "You all carry on. I'll be fine."
"Mm," Damien assented with a nod. He instructed a couple of trusty bodyguards to accompany Beckham via helicopter back to Tanner Residence. Meanwhile, Mr. Hampson dismissed the remaining guards. Eventually, only Mr. Hampson and Otto accompanied Cherise and Damien to Gray Residence.
Amidst the journey, Colin eagerly divulged insights about each member of the Gray family to Damien and Cherise. "Here's my uncle, Anthony Gray, the current head of the Gray clan. Despite his stern exterior, he's actually a good person. And this is my aunt, Dorothy Vines. She's always treated me well."
"And this is my cousin, Jude Gray." Colin took out Jude's details and a picture of him. He proudly said, "He's just a year older than me, but he's a genius! They say he's a business wiz and the best successor for the Gray family someday. But I can't help but wonder… Why did someone as sharp and business-savvy as Jude turn down the chance to inherit the family fortune..."
Perched in the plush leather confines of her airplane seat, Cherise absorbed Colin's revelations while scrutinizing Jude's details. Her gaze widened as she laid eyes on the man's visage in the photo. "Is this man... Jude Gray?"
"Indeed," Colin confirmed, noting her perturbed expression. "What's the matter? Have you crossed paths with Jude before?"
Cherise never encountered this man again. But now, as she peered at the file labeled 'Jude Gray' in her hands... She couldn't help but quiver slightly. Damien's suspicions had been warranted. Jude had been scheming against them for quite some time.
As she delved into past memories, numerous pieces of the puzzle started to click into place. During that period, Jude was supposedly tending to his girlfriend, yet he exhibited an unusual fascination with Cherise. Back then, Cherise dismissed it, merely thinking of him as a curious man. However, at this moment, she broke into a cold sweat.
It all fell into place now... No wonder... No wonder Gwenn possessed such intricate knowledge about Alexis, leading to Sebastian's intervention in adopting Alexis... No wonder Gwenn seemed so well-versed in Cherise's history at Lermille Hospital...

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
