Chapter 1098 Damien's Hunch

Damien fell silent briefly. "I'll need to handle a few things here, so | won't be able to return to Adania for the tbeing," Damien

explained solemnly. "In the meantime, let Charles help out more with thepany's affairs."

"Mm. He will," Maeve responded.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Damien ended the call. Setting down his phone, he stood still momentarily, gazing at the

seaside. His eyes followed the police as they removed Raymond's body, a somber sight. He turned and made his way back towards

the house.

"Honey." Damien turned to find Cherise standing at the villa's entrance, watching him. It appeared she had been standing there for

a while, taking in the scene. Meeting her gaze, she smiled softly. "Do you truly believe Colin is your brother?" Her question

indicated she had overheard his conversation on the phone.

Damien didn't see the need to hide anything from her. "It's just a hunch."

"Because of his striking resemblance to you?" Cherise inquired further.

"Not solely," Damien replied as he approached her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Though doppelgangers are rare, they

do exist. Take Mandy, for example. My sister once altered her appearance to mimic her own." Cherise nodded, understanding his

explanation, but chose to remain silent.

"Gwenn's been plotting against you for five years, which means Jude has been helping her for all that time. It wasn't a spur-of-the-

moment decision," the man whispered as he wrapped his arms around her. "Meanwhile, Colin was recently pushed into taking over

the Gray family business."

"I'm wondering, why did Jude target us back then? Why us?" His gaze narrowed. "Also, Colin's the sage as me. When | was

eight, my parents died in a car crash, and the shappened to his parents when he was eight. His mom's nrhymes with his.

My mom's nfits. Can there really be that many coincidences?" He held Cherise tighter, shutting his eyes. "lI promised to help

him, but | have my reasons too. I'll only find the answers when | meet Mrs. Gray."

When the police removed Raymond's body, everyone present underwent questioning as protocol demanded. Beckham and Damien

cooperated willingly. Only their statements were needed. But Colin... This young man carried quite a reputation in the area, causing

the local officers to hesitate before disturbing his sleep. Thus, a group of officers found themselves waiting for Colin to awaken.

Cherise and Damien treated everyone to a meal and reassured their loved ones in the country. Cherise even contacted Lucy,

listening to her grievances about her dad pressuring her into marriage. Once everything was settled, Cherise returned to the villa

and found Colin still unconscious on the sofa.

The few remaining officers appeared anxious and helpless. Their colleagues had already left for the day, leaving them to handle

Colin's statement. They couldn't risk upsetting Colin, so they could only wait for him to wake up.

Cherise couldn't help but chuckle at the scene before her. Just how intimidated are these individuals by the Gray family? She

pursed her lips as she approached and tried to engage them in conversation. They were hesitant to speak freely, considering how

frustrated and distressed they were.

Exasperated, Cherise went to the kitchen and filled a cup with cold water out of the kindness of her heart. She returned and

splashed it directly onto Colin's face. 'Slosh!" The police officers instinctively moved aside when she did it, fearing Colin would think

they were responsible.
