Chapter 1109 Genuine Love

Damien's brow furrowed with determination as he asserted, "Regardless of the circumstances, your only recourse is to marry Lucy

and assthis position."

"But..." Colin began, his protest cut short by Damien's stern tone.

"This is your sole path forward for now," Damien interjected firmly. Drawing a deep breath, he continued, "Letdivulge another

crucial detail to you. The accident involving your aunt was no accident at all. After scrutinizing the news reports, I'm certain she

was deliberately targeted."

"Is that true? But who could do such a thing?" Colin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Who would wish harm upon my aunt? She's

always been so kind..."

"As for the perpetrator's identity, you'll only uncover it once you step into the role of the Gray Group president. Now isn't the time

for obstinacy," Damien emphasized. "I understand you have your own dreams and aspirations. However, don't et the burden

on your shoulders."

"Your aunt has cared for you for many years, and now she lies unconscious in the hospital. Whether it's to honor her wishes or to

uncover the truth behind her injury, you must temporarily set aside your dreams, assthis responsibility, and seek answers for

your aunt's sake," Damien's words were harsh yet realistic.

Cherise watched from across the room, her emotions in turmoil as she witnessed this side of Damien. It was the first tshe had

seen him take charge and make decisions for someone else. Hisposure, his logic, his wisdom—all of it reflected the man she

had once deeply admired.

She had always believed that even if the man she married was exceptional and attractive, there would still be a gap between him

and the ideal man she held in her mind. But at that moment... as she gazed at Damien in a new light, she couldn't help but recall a

phrase she had once heard in a song. | can be the man you needto be. And indeed, Damien was the man she needed.

In the presence of this flawless man, who had pledged his undying devotion to her, she couldn't help but feel incredibly fortunate.

Lucy had once pointed out how rare it was for her to be so happy and be with her ideal man. Cherise happened to be lucky enough.

But amidst her own good fortune, she couldn't shake off thoughts of Lucy.

As Cherise contemplated Lucy's situation, her rationality kicked in. She pressed her lips together, meeting Damien's gaze head-on.

"Lucy mentioned she doesn't want to marry Colin..."

"It's just a temporary fix," Damien responded casually, a slight furrow creasing his brow. "Considering Lucy's close ties with us, we

can arrange a meeting for her to talk things over with Coles. Their marriage is merely a formality. A marriage of convenience

doesn't require genuine affection; they can always part ways once it serves its purpose.”

Cherise pressed her lips together, reluctantly admitting that it could be a solution. Yet, a nagging concern lingered. "But if they get

a divorce, Lucy will end up a divorcée in the future... What if her next partner takes issue..."

"If that's the case, then he doesn't truly love her," Damien asserted firmly, brushing aside Cherise's worries with confidence. "If

someone is bothered by her past, his love for her isn't genuine. Do you think someone who doesn't love Lucy wholeheartedly

deserves her?"

Cherise hesitated, unsure how to respond. "Well... that's true, but..."

"However..." Colin interjected softly, redirecting the conversation towards himself. "Have you considered my feelings... I'm single,

too... If my future wife has reservations aboutbeing a divorcé, what am | supposed to do..." His voice trailed off, tinged with a

hint of sadness.

Cherise, taken aback, turned towards him instinctively. The man, bearing a striking resemblance to Damien, continued

melancholically, "As a reclusiveic artist like myself, finding a partner is quite the challenge..."
