RedNovelChapter 1146 Revealed
"How dare he openly torment Lucy in such a manner?" Colin's voice, edged with indignation, sliced through the tense air of the
room.
"Even though Lucy was once his paramour, their ties have since dissolved!" he continued, his tone firm with conviction.
"Now Lucy is my nominal spouse. By behaving in this manner, he not only affronts Lucy but also disrespects me!"
"| refrained from confrontation, considering he is your confidant and has renderedrecent aid," Colin explained.
"But | can discern that Lucy's spirits have been utterly dashed by his actions!" he added, his concern palpable.
Damien's lips curled into a subtle smirk as he reclined in his chair, his dark-colored eyes locked onto Colin's face, reminiscent of his
own. "You're quite invested in Lucy's emotions, aren't you?"
"Naturally! I am her..."
Colin's retort halted abruptly as he choked on his words.

With a casual demeanor, Damien lifted the cup of coffee from the table, taking a leisurely sip. "You are her spouse, are you not?"
"Yet, yours and Lucy's union is one of contractual convenience," Damien continued, pinpointing the flaw in Colin's argument.
"Lucy's dealings with Lennon are hers alone. Your involvement extends beyond propriety, encroaching upon matters where your
influence is unwarranted."
Colin lapsed into silence, conceding to Damien's observation.
He knew he ought not to concern himself with Lucy's sentiments, given his standing.
"But..." Colin attempted to interject, only to be interrupted by Damien's incisive inquiry.
"Are you developing affection for Lucy?"
Damien struck the mark with precision, bluntly voicing his suspicion.
In his fluster, Colin stiffened and inadvertently knocked over a nearby cup, spilling its contents onto the table. Hastily, he reached
for a tissue, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment as he vehemently denied Damien's insinuation.
"S-Such a notion is preposterous! | would never..." Colin's protestations faltered.
Despite his assurances, his actions revealed his true sentiments.
Observing Colin's reaction, Damien furrowed his brow ever so slightly; his silence speaks volumes.
After tidying up the spilled coffee, Colin retrieved the documents and resumed his seat, purposefully avoiding Damien's gaze. "This
is a professional setting, Damien. Personal matters are best left for another time."
With determination, he swiftly delved into the documents, feigning concentration on his task at hand.
However, upon perusing the contents before him, a chill gripped him, halting his movements.
His heart skipped a beat, his pupils dilated, and his thoughts ground to a halt.
The documents did not pertain to the Gray Group but instead detailed his Aunt Dorothy's tragic accident.
The document meticulously detailed the events surrounding the accident: the scene before and after, the vehicle involved, and the
driver's identity, even delving into the driver's bank account information.
Shockingly, it revealed that the driver, who collided with Aunt Dorothy's truck, had received a substantial transfer from an overseas
Swiss bank just days prior to the incident—two million in total.
Following this transaction, the driver had journeyed from a neighboring city to Yatesville.

Subsequent to the accident and the driver's arrest, another transfer from the Swiss bank had been made to his account—this time,
totaling three million.
Colin's hands trembled violently as he grappled with the implications of this revelation.
How could this be?
Previously, regardless of Damien and Lennon's assertions regarding Aunt Dorothy's accident being orchestrated, Colin could still
find solace in the possibility that their assessment was flawed.
But now...
Yet, the irrefutable evidence before him shattered any semblance of doubt. The documents unequivocally confirmed that Aunt
Dorothy's tragic collision was no mere accident but a meticulously orchestrated act of malice.
A staggering sum of five million had been expended to orchestrate this heinous scheme.
Colin clenched his jaw, his hands shaking uncontrollably as he continued to pore over the damning evidence.
On the subsequent page lay an exhaustive investigation into the origins of the funds transferred to the driver's account.
