Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1146

Chapter 1146 Revealed
"How dare he openly torment Lucy in such a manner?" Colin's voice, edged with indignation, sliced through the tense air of the room.

"Even though Lucy was once his paramour, their ties have since dissolved!" he continued, his tone firm with conviction.

"Now Lucy is my nominal spouse. By behaving in this manner, he not only affronts Lucy but also disrespects me!"

"I refrained from confrontation, considering he is your confidant and has rendered me recent aid," Colin explained.

"But I can discern that Lucy's spirits have been utterly dashed by his actions!" he added, his concern palpable.

Damien's lips curled into a subtle smirk as he reclined in his chair, his dark-colored eyes locked onto Colin's face, reminiscent of his own. "You're quite invested in Lucy's emotions, aren't you?"

"Naturally! I am her..."

Colin's retort halted abruptly as he choked on his words.

With a casual demeanor, Damien lifted the cup of coffee from the table, taking a leisurely sip. "You are her spouse, are you not?"

"Yet, yours and Lucy's union is one of contractual convenience," Damien continued, pinpointing the flaw in Colin's argument. "Lucy's dealings with Lennon are hers alone. Your involvement extends beyond propriety, encroaching upon matters where your influence is unwarranted."

Colin lapsed into silence, conceding to Damien's observation.

He knew he ought not to concern himself with Lucy's sentiments, given his standing.

"But..." Colin attempted to interject, only to be interrupted by Damien's incisive inquiry.

"Are you developing affection for Lucy?"

Damien struck the mark with precision, bluntly voicing his suspicion.

In his fluster, Colin stiffened and inadvertently knocked over a nearby cup, spilling its contents onto the table. Hastily, he reached for a tissue, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment as he vehemently denied Damien's insinuation.

"S-Such a notion is preposterous! I would never..." Colin's protestations faltered.

Despite his assurances, his actions revealed his true sentiments.

Colin's hands trembled violently as he grappled with the implications of this revelation.

How could this be?

Previously, regardless of Damien and Lennon's assertions regarding Aunt Dorothy's accident being orchestrated, Colin could still find solace in the possibility that their assessment was flawed.

But now…

Yet, the irrefutable evidence before him shattered any semblance of doubt. The documents unequivocally confirmed that Aunt Dorothy's tragic collision was no mere accident but a meticulously orchestrated act of malice.

A staggering sum of five million had been expended to orchestrate this heinous scheme.

Colin clenched his jaw, his hands shaking uncontrollably as he continued to pore over the damning evidence.
