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…”
