Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148 Harsh Realizations
"The possibility you've mentioned is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but it's highly improbable," Lennon interjected, his tone cold and detached. Having been raised under the oppressive thumb of the Belcourt family from a young age, he struggled to empathize with individuals like Colin, who had experienced the warmth of loving families. "Kenneth's ascent to the Gray Group and his significant stake in the company are intricately linked to Anthony."

"Furthermore," Lennon continued, a faint smile playing on his lips, "I couldn't help but notice how quickly Kenneth, despite lacking your depth of business acumen, identified flaws in your presentation during the board meeting. Without a guiding hand familiar with the inner workings of the Gray Group, I find it difficult to believe."

"In essence, my stance remains unchanged: Anthony is the mastermind behind all of this."

Colin swayed slightly, grappling with the harsh reality presented before him.

Simultaneously, he couldn't help but view Lennon as callous.

How could someone calmly analyze a situation where a husband conspired against his own wife?

Unaware of Colin's inner turmoil, Lennon proceeded to dissect the situation dispassionately. "Furthermore, Anthony's insistence on appointing you as CEO now makes more sense to me."

Under Damien's admiring gaze, Lennon continued with composure, "Colin, it's evident that the business world isn't your forte."

"Despite my repeated attempts to explain fundamental concepts, you've struggled to grasp them."

Colin remained silent, his discomfort palpable.

Observing his younger brother's unease, Damien frowned, contemplating intervening to halt Lennon's critique. "Everyone has unique strengths, and Colin's lie outside the realm of business."

"Isn't that what I was implying?" Lennon shot him a disdainful glance before continuing, "Anthony knows your limitations in this area, which is why he's pushing you so forcefully."

"If shareholders express dissatisfaction, they'd have every right to replace you."

"And in that scenario, who do you think they'd select as CEO?"

"Obviously, someone who understands the company holds a significant stake and exhibits exceptional capabilities."
