Chapter 1124 A Selfless Man
"Yes," Otto Walkins replied honestly. "My boss doesn't have many friends. Over the years, only Mr. Belcourt has remained steadfast by his side."
Colin was taken aback. The bodyguard is surprisingly frank! Is Damien's lack of social skills such an open secret?
Otto seemed to read Colin's thoughts and shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not exactly a secret."
Colin pursed his lips, thinking about Damien. With his perpetually stern face and aloof demeanor, it wasn't surprising he didn't have many friends. Although they looked almost identical, Colin had to admit he was much more likable than Damien.
Turning to look out the car window, Colin mused, "Still, with my current situation... is Lennon here to help me?"
"Not entirely," Otto responded calmly. "Although Mr. Belcourt did cause a scene at your wedding, he seemed sincere when he approached my boss about this. I don't think he's here to make trouble. More likely, he's seeking some form of atonement."
"Atonement?" Colin raised an eyebrow. A bad feeling crept into his gut. He scoffed, "Does he want me to resolve my company issues quickly so I can set Lucy free?"
"Mr. Belcourt doesn't know your marriage with Ms. Staber is a business arrangement."
"Perhaps..."
"Maybe…" Otto paused, recalling how Lennon seemed earnest when he volunteered to Damien and said he would help Colin. "Maybe he believes you and Ms. Staber are in love. That's why he wants to help."
Colin frowned, a cold laugh escaping his lips. "Let's hope so."
After hearing what Lucy revealed at the wedding the previous day, Colin began to dislike Lennon and doubt his integrity.
