Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1125

Chapter 1125 A Messy Situation
Colin was struck speechless. It took him a while to compose himself before he looked at Damien again, asking, "Didn't he cause trouble at the wedding yesterday?"

"He gave up," Damien said, his voice low and indifferent. "We're all smart enough not to waste time on a hopeless cause. If he and Lucy were meant to reconcile, they would have done so by now. After tormenting each other for years, it's better to let go. He's moved on."

Colin did not know what to say. Despite his general dislike for Lennon, hearing that he had given up so quickly stirred some discomfort. Lucy is such a fantastic woman... couldn't he have fought a little harder?

"Let's not dwell on other people's drama," Damien said, shrugging. "The documents Lenn prepared for you are top-notch. Half an hour before the meeting starts—that's enough time."

Colin shook off his thoughts and focused on the task at hand. He sat down and opened the file. Damien was right. Lennon had meticulously organized the information, detailing the power structures behind each shareholder, their allies, and their financial standings.

Lennon's skill was undeniable. This in-depth analysis might even surpass what his cousin, Jude, could produce.

As Colin read further, he realized how chaotic Gray Group was. Many of its shareholders weren't from the Gray family but were old friends of his uncle from the early days of the business. While they had once been close, the company's growth and the subsequent uneven profit distribution had bred discontent. Many were waiting for the Gray family to fall from power, and now, with Colin at the helm, he was their prime target.

Jude had refused the position of Gray Group president, and everyone had been eager to place their candidate in that role. Colin's sudden appearance didn't sit well with them. Only now did he fully understand the severity of the situation within the company. Previously, neither his uncle, Aunt Dorothy, nor Jude would tell him how messy the situation within Gray Group was.

"Time's up."
