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, slatched onto the idea. Shockingly, it gained traction, and
many believed it! Speculations and rumors ran rampant, fueled by whispered conversations and clandestine gossip.

Spropagated 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, ovee with dejection, he ran his hands through his hair in despair. "What am | 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 | ever do anything to hurt
her... Why would anyone fabricate such hurtful rumors..."
Witnessing Colin's distress, Cherise felt a pang of unease. Despite encountering similar situations countless times, each instance
had unsettled her. Thus, she could genuinely empathize with his current predicament. She remembered all too well how lan had
spread rumors about her in the past, leaving her feeling just as helpless.
Pursing her lips, she kept her cell phone away and settled beside Colin, speaking softly. "It's going to be okay... We'll find a way to
prove both you and my husband are innocent. I've experienced rumors like this before, and my husband has always helped me
ovee them. So, you have to trustand my husband. We'll figure out a way to clear your name..."
Colin remained silent, lips pressed together as his head remained bowed. "What else can we do now?" he finally murmured. "|

authority over Gray Group. Only then will | have the power to investigate those behind these rumors."
His words trailing off, Colin admitted softly, "But | don't aspire to lead Gray Group. My dream is to be aic artist..."
"Can you bear to watch the business your aunt worked so hard to build slip into the hands of others?" Damien interjected, setting
his phone aside and fixing Colin with an icy stare. "This isn't the tfor a tantrum. You must understand that these rumors are
being spread to thwart your ascent to power in Gray Group. Have you considered why they fear you taking control?"
Colin was taken aback, shaking his head vigorously. "I don't know."
"It's because you pose the greatest threat to them if you asspower."
