Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1207

Chapter 1207 Lenoirs and Grays
"That d*mn Mr. Lenoir, it's always that Mr. Lenoir!"

Once more, the Lenoir family stood in his path, eliciting furious remarks as he clenched his fists tightly by his sides.

Back in years gone by, both sisters from the Vines family had married different families—the elder to Hansen Lenoir, and the younger to Anthony Gray.

Ever since, it didn't matter who it was; whenever Hansen's name was mentioned, it was always with admiration. Everyone would make passing references to his remarkable qualities.

Even Dorothy, in her conversations, would unfailingly praise her brother-in-law.

In what aspect was he ever considered less than the Lenoirs? To endure such humiliation was unfathomable to him!

Subsequently, he schemed with Hansen's brother, Raymond, to leave behind Hansen's younger twin son.

They deliberately leaked news of the lost child to Hansen, attempting to stray his focus away from his work.

Back then, Anthony and Raymond believed that if Hansen concentrated his efforts on locating his son, it would earn them ample opportunity to catch up in his footsteps.

At least in the eyes of others, the disparity between them and Hansen wouldn't appear so pronounced.

In accordance with their expectations, Hansen redirected all his energies toward finding his missing child.

As the years passed, Anthony's fortunes took a downturn.

Hansen extended a lifeline, offering him twenty million to rebuild, with the understanding that if successful, repayment wouldn't be necessary—only assistance in locating his missing son.

At the sight of the money, Anthony grinned smugly.

How could Anthony not know the whereabouts of Hansen's son?

After all, Anthony had been the one to conceal him—he held the key to Hansen's quest.

Despite this knowledge, Anthony maintained a facade of diligence before Hansen's eyes.

In doing so, he persevered with his act until the child reached the age of eight.

Raymond contacted Anthony with a new scheme, revealing that Hansen and his wife were soon to meet their ends with a fatal car accident.

He suggested bringing back the child half a month ahead of schedule so that Dorothy could testify to his identity as a legitimate Lenoir heir.
