Chapter 1119 Revenge

"Ah, so that's the reason..."

He placed a hand over his kidney. "It was all because of this."

"Damien," he said with a voice filled with anguish. "If I hadn't received her mother's kidney back then, do you think I would have ever had a chance with her?"

Damien glanced at him. "What do you think?"

"I wish I had never received this kidney. I wish I had died from my kidney disease

that year. Then... maybe I wouldn't have become who I am now."

The bar's multicolored lights starkly illuminated the despair in his eyes.

Damien calmly poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "We can't turn back time. I wouldn't have let Uncle Raymond manipulate my father for his entire life if we could. So, we must keep moving ahead."

Lennon slumped over the bar. His voice was grim and bitter. "The future feels pointless without Lucy..."

"That's not true." Damien coldly set his glass down. "You still have revenge."

"Revenge..." Lennon laughed bitterly as he stared at the ceiling. "Give me a gun and a few men, and I'll wipe out the Belcourt family."

He sounded hopeless as he continued, "But the Belcourt family hides too well, too deeply... All these years, I've acted submissive all these years, pretending to be aligned with the Belcourt family, not daring to mourn my parents. I was even too cowardly to stand up for my woman. Even so, the evidence I gathered on the Belcourt family's involvement in my parents' murder is still too little..."

Damien pushed another glass of wine toward Lennon. "Maybe this complete break with Lucy is an opportunity. The Belcourt family has always wanted you to marry Violet. Now the whole world knows Lucy is married. You've completely broken up with her. If you go back and marry Violet now, the Belcourt family won't be as guarded against you."

Lennon frowned, turning to give Damien a cold look. "Only you could come up with such a lousy idea. Are you so eager for me to get married because you're afraid my being single will affect your brother's marriage?"

He pouted in dissatisfaction. "So much for our years of friendship. It's all fake. You haven't even officially acknowledged this brother, yet you're already thinking for his benefit."

Damien smiled but remained silent.

Lennon only knew that Colin was Damien's twin brother; he didn't know that Colin and Lucy's marriage was only contractual, and Damien didn't plan on telling him.

Damien smiled, saying, "I'm only giving you an objective suggestion. The obstacles between you and Lucy have always been the Belcourt family and Violet. You don't need to worry about it now that you've broken up."

He continued, "If I were you, after losing the love of my life, I'd focus all my energy on revenge. The Belcourt family made you lose your parents and your lover. Are you willing to endure this?"

Lennon pursed his lips, gripping the glass tightly.

After a moment, he raised his glass and downed the contents in one gulp. "You're right."

It was late at night. Colin lay sprawled on the couch, drunk and disheveled after drinking all evening at the banquet.

A servant brought a glass of water and placed it before him. "Mr. Gray, please have some water. Your wife is waiting for you in the room."

With his head throbbing, Colin sat up from the couch and took a sip of water. "My wife?"

"Yes." The servant smiled warmly. "Are you so drunk that you've forgotten? You got married today, Mr. Gray. Tonight is your wedding night."

Colin suddenly recalled that he had indeed gotten married that day.
