Chapter 1092

Colin’s Proposition Cherise felt her breath catch in her throat as she beheld the man seated before her. It was because the man seated before her was… a near mirror image of Damien, save for his piercing blue eyes. Cherise would’ve thought Damien was sitting before her if not for that.

If Damien was a perfect ten in appearance, this man was easily rated a nine, his features echoing Damien’s with flawless precision. The only discernible differences lay in the hue of his eyes and subtle facial nuances. But only Cherise, privy to Damien’s every detail, could detect these subtleties. This man could pass as Damien sporting blue contact lenses to any outsider.

“Who are you?” Damien’s voice sliced through the tension, cold and probing, his eyes narrowing.

“I’m Jude’s brother, Colin Gray,” the man replied stiffly as if grappling with the language. “Jude was correct in noting our resemblance. I see I haven’t come here in vain.”

Damien studied him intently, his gaze piercing, yet he held his silence.

“Do not gaze upon me with such hostility. We’re not adversaries. Like Jude, I come bearing a proposition,” Colin yawned, lifting his teacup to his lips. “I offer to surrender these two individuals to you. In exchange, you’ll assume my role within the Gray family. Care for my mother and fulfill my marital obligations to the lady I’ve hesitated to wed.”

“And as for myself…” Colin’s tone dripped with arrogance as he continued, “I will oversee Lenoir Group’s operations and tend to your sister, wife, and children. Otherwise,” he added with a faint smirk, “I’ll see to it that everyone on this island perishes with you today.”
