Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1108

Chapter 1108 Clear Your Name
The connection between Colin and Damien was never doubted, given their uncanny resemblance. Yet, someone recklessly raised an unsettling question.

The Lenoir and Gray families held longstanding animosity. When Mrs. Gray got into an accident, the Gray family declared Colin as the heir to their empire. Shortly after, Colin urgently revealed that he and Damien were twins. Hence... did the recent unfortunate incident, just two weeks prior, somehow involve the brothers conspiring to harm Anthony and Mrs. Gray?

Though Damien and Colin thought such accusations were ludicrous, some latched onto the idea. Shockingly, it gained traction, and many believed it! Speculations and rumors ran rampant, fueled by whispered conversations and clandestine gossip.

Some propagated that the brothers had meticulously plotted for the Lenoir Group to usurp control of the Gray Group. Others insinuated that Mrs. Gray's accident was leveraged to pressure Anthony into surrendering authority over Gray Group. Then, some theorized that the car crash from two weeks ago served as a stark warning to Anthony. They speculated that Anthony, feeling cornered, had no choice but to cede control of Gray Group to Colin for his own safety.

Amidst these baseless rumors, various narratives painted Damien and Colin as formidable, cutthroat brothers. Colin, who had always been shielded from such harsh realities, found himself deeply troubled by the malicious gossip.

Slumped on the sofa, overcome with dejection, he ran his hands through his hair in despair. "What am I supposed to do... These people are vicious... How could anyone think I'd bring harm to Aunt Dorothy? After being abducted and trafficked, she rescued me from despair... Aunt Dorothy is the closest family to me, especially after losing my parents. How could I ever do anything to hurt her... Why would anyone fabricate such hurtful rumors..."

"Can you bear to watch the business your aunt worked so hard to build slip into the hands of others?" Damien interjected, setting his phone aside and fixing Colin with an icy stare. "This isn't the time for a tantrum. You must understand that these rumors are being spread to thwart your ascent to power in Gray Group. Have you considered why they fear you taking control?"

Colin was taken aback, shaking his head vigorously. "I don't know."

"It's because you pose the greatest threat to them if you assume power."
