Chapter 1094

The Gray Family If I cant even trust Jude… Colin found himself at a crossroads, his desperation driving him to seek aid from the only person available. At least, he reasoned, the man bearing his own visage wouldn’t pose any harm to him. Moreover, Colin thought he currently had the upper hand. Even if Damien was more knowledgeable, Damien couldn’t leverage it against him.

Colin took a deep breath. “My supposed father is actually my uncle,” Colin confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. “And my alleged mother is my aunt.” He drew a deep breath, gathering his resolve as he shut his eyes. “When I was young, my aunt confided in me, revealing that she did everything to shield me.”

“From the moment I was born, I was kidnapped and separated from my family. My father supported the Gray family’s business, enabling my aunt and uncle to spare no effort in their search for me. Finally, at the age of eight, they confirmed my true identity. But before they could reunite me with my parents, my parents perished in a tragic car accident.”

“My aunt and uncle were convinced that my parents met with foul play, possibly at the hands of my father’s kin. Fearing for my safety, they hesitated to return me to my biological family. Instead, they raised me within the Gray household, christening me as Colin. It rhymes with my mom’s name.”

“Throughout the years, I’ve formed strong bonds with my aunt, uncle, and Jude,” Colin continued, his fingers tangling in his hair. “However… Jude harbors his own aspirations and refuses to assume control of the Gray family’s business.”

“After much deliberation, my aunt and uncle concluded that since my father had supported the Gray family’s business back then, it was only right for me to inherit the family business. But I lack any business acumen… I’m only skilled in the art of comic illustration…”

Damien regarded Colin with a sense of exasperation. “So they orchestrated a marriage for you, aiming to secure your standing within the Gray family and provide you, as an adopted son, with the resources to establish yourself in the company. Additionally, your future father-in-law and wife can offer you guidance and education,” he summarized, a tinge of sympathy coloring his tone.
