Chapter 1211 Jude's Confession
The room descended into a tense silence, the weight of unspoken truths hanging palpably in the air.
Cherise, her expression determined, gently pursed her lips before speaking in a voice that was soft yet unwavering. "Uncle
Anthony, did you just acknowledge that Colin is, indeed, my husband's younger twin brother?"
Anthony was caught off guard, momentarily stunned into speechlessness by Cherise's direct question.
He had steeled himself to refute any accusations regarding Colin's disappearance, but in that charged moment, he realized with a
pang that no one besides himself had explicitly acknowledged Colin as part of the Lenoir family since he entered the room.
Gathering his thoughts swiftly, Anthony regained hisposure, his mind racing to formulate a response.
Since Damien was already well-versed in the events of the past, it was highly probable that he had already uncovered Colin's true
identity. Thus, whether Anthony admitted it or not, it appeared insignificant.

Anthony's lips curled into a sneer as he responded, "Even if | deny it outright, how does that change anything?"
"It matters little in the grand scheme," Anthony added dismissively, "Your arguments on other matters hold no sway."
Damien's expression hardened into a sneer as he produced a folded bank statement from his pocket. Unfolding it with deliberate
care, he revealed a meticulous record of transactions spanning years between Anthony and Raymond.
Each entry documented the purpose behind the money transfers from Raymond to Anthony.
Each entry painstakingly detailed the purpose behind the money transfers from Raymond to Anthony. Swere marked to
appease Dorothy, others to buy silence, and a handful designated to orchestrate Colin's torment.
The list sprawled across the page, chronicling every misdeed and clandestine dealing Anthony had orchestrated over the years.
Colin and Cherise stood there; their jaws ajar in shock as the damning evidence unraveled before their very eyes.
Cherise's eyes widened in disbelief as she studied the meticulous record of nefarious deeds laid out before her. Each transaction
spoke volumes of deception and manipulation.
Colin, on the other hand, stood frozen, his mind grappling with the stark reality unfolding before him. For nearly thirty years, he
had regarded Anthony as a pillar of kindness and gentleness, akin to Aunt Dorothy. The revelation of Anthony's true nature struck
him like a thunderbolt.
The bank statement served as a cruel awakening, shattering Colin's long-held perception of Uncle Anthony. It becglaringly
apparent that behind the facade of familial affection lay a web of deceit. Anthony had orchestrated schemes not only against Colin
but also against the Lenoir family and even Aunt Dorothy herself.
With a disdainful sneer, Anthony waved off the significance of the statement. "What use is that piece of paper? How do you prove
that account belongs to me?"
Since Raymond's accident, Anthony has been careful to avoid any connection to the account, wary of exposing his former
connections to Raymond's misdeeds.
Undeterred, Damien calmly turned to the final page of the statement. With a deliberate motion, he pointed out, "The account was
last accessed for a withdrawal just three days prior."

Reclining languidly in his seat, Damien fixed a chilly, unwavering gaze on Anthony. "We've secured video footage that proves you
did not make the withdrawal, however..."
His voice dropped to a chillingly icy tone, "Access to the account was made by your cherished illegitimate son, Keh."
Anthony's initial shock gave way to a sudden realization. He hadn't seen the card in quite stime, assuming he had stashed it
away and simply otten its location. Now, faced with the revelation, it dawned on him with startling clarity: Keh had been
the one who stole the card.
"Keh was also part of a hit-and-run accident that happened just three days ago," Jude remarked calmly from his seat beside
Dorothy on the bed, his demeanor eerilyposed. "Father, this little brother of mine, he's proven quite a handful."
"Immediately after the accident, Keh's first move was to withdraw money from your bank account, likely to facilitate his
escape."
Jude's gaze pierced Anthony's with unwavering determination, a chilly aura emanating within his pupils. "Luckily, | managed to
trick him into attending the shareholders’ meeting in your place. Otherwise, how could he have so obediently entered the prison?"
Anthony stared at Jude in stunned silence, grappling with the implication of Jude's betrayal.
