Chapter 269 Colin's Identity
Though he had confirmed that Lily was fine, Colin still felt uneasy. He handled the company affairs concisely and sent the necessary documents to Brian's office.
"Brother, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself." Before leaving, he said habitually, and didn't know when this habit began.
Hearing his words, Brian looked up at his back and suddenly asked, "do you really want the Li group?"
Colin paused, but didn't turn back, "brother, what do you think?" His tone sounded somewhat arrogant. For the sake of the Li group, he could marry Zoey in name only. He could put Lily aside and may win the game after tomorrow.
He was looking forward to the day after tomorrow.
The darkness in Brian's eyes dimmed. He didn't withdraw his sight until the back of Colin disappeared in the porch. However, Colin didn't know. The DNA test that could destroy him was lying on the table. Looking through the document on which the paternity test was done, Brian's face slightly darkened. He thought to himself, "Colin, that's the reason why you were determined to get the Li group.".
He knew there was nothing between Li family and him, so he was afraid of being abandoned?
Lily was the daughter of Juliet and Mike, so who was Colin? At Colin's age, he should be born not long after William and Juliet got married.
Who sent him this?
Brian rubbed his painful temple.
A bold conjecture was increasingly clear in his mind. Immediately, he made a call to an old housekeeper who had served in the Li family for more than twenty years.
"Did Colin have a serious illness when he was four years old?" Brian asked directly.
"Yes. Master Colin was seriously ill at that time. Madam carried him everywhere and asked for the medicine, but it didn't work." The old butler answered respectfully, "later I heard that Madam found a famous doctor who cured master Colin's illness."
Colin frowned. If At that time, the child brought back by Juliet was not Colin?
When Colin was seriously ill, Brian and Jean were taken back to the Li family by William, and William wanted to divorce Juliet. When Colin was sick, it was Juliet who took him and asked for help. But William ignored her deliberately.
At that time, William had been determined to divorce Juliet. However, with the existence of Colin, the power of the Chen family had not completely decline. The elders of the Li family did not allow him to divorce.
If Colin was not the child of the Li family, he must be the child that Juliet brought back from other places in order to protect her position.
Colin had already knew it. As a result, he had a crush on Lily.
The spacious CEO Office was in silence. Brian leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes. It was just his guess. However The conjecture was simple. All he needed to do was to test the relation between Juliet and Colin.
In Colin's villa.
Colin opened the door and strode towards the kitchen. At the same time, he called Lily. "Lily."
But no one responded. With knitted brows, Colin rushed upstairs. "Where are you, Lily?" The voice was tinged with a bit of panic involuntarily.
No, he couldn't. standing at the door of the bedroom, Colin clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down.
A few seconds later, Colin took out his phone and dialed Lily's number.
Someone on the other end of the line picked up the phone. Colin hurriedly called Lily's name, "Lily, where are you?"
"Boss, it's me." A man laughed, "it's unexpected that you who always be calm could talk in this tone."
Colin frowned. He recognized it was Martin's voice. "Martin, what do you want?"
"What do I want? I thought you knew it. " Martin laughed frivolously.
"Let go of her!" Colin cut the crap and said, "Tell me what do you want?"
Martin laughed again." So straight. Colin, do you still remember your previous name? It was a name 20 years ago. I remember your name is Five. You are the fifth largest orphan in that small orphanage." What Martin said was just like a pair of powerful hands, pulling out the deepest fear in his heart. Hearing that, Colin felt cold all over, and his eyes became even colder.
"Who are you?" He asked coldly.
"You have no right to know." "My request is, you tell the public you are only an orphan without a name or parents. You are not the second young master of Li family, you are only an orphan without a name." Martin said with a smile
Colin clenched the phone. The chilling coldness and the sense of erosion of 20 years ago surged up again in his heart. The reason why he could remember what happened when he was four years old was tha it was too memorable. In the cold winter, he held a piece of tattered clothes and curled up in the corner of the street. Every inch of his skin was like a knife sweeping over him, and immediately blood was flowing.
When he was sent to the orphanage, the children in the orphanage took away all bun he had just gotten in order not to starve. He couldn't beat them, so he had to live on.
At that time, a four-year-old child had known what is death. Not only did he expect himself to die, by starvation or by coldness. Every time he thought of these questions, he felt particularly excited. Death was a new life for him.
But Juliet's appearance had changed his life.
The first time he met Juliet was in the backyard of that orphanage. He was biting the leaves like a little wild man. He wanted to die, but he was subconsciously seeking for survival. Living was the instinct of all animals. He was not a human, but an animal Without consciousness.
He clearly remembered the stunned expression on Juliet's face when she saw him. The first thing she said was, "looks like." Later he knew that he looked like her son, Colin.
For the past twenty years, he had been afraid of going back to that kind of life. That's why he was always highly vigilant and tried to behave gracefully and noble.
His hard work had won everyone else's praise, parents' appreciation and his sister's admiration.
But the past twenty years ago was like a dormant beast that would appear and bite him at any time. No matter how much he loved Lily, he couldn't do anything in front of the grown-up. He could only spoil her like his brother did.
He was not Brian who he dared not disobey his parents. He was not qualified to be willful either.
When everything was revealed, would he be abandoned and taunted by everyone.
Marti
"Well, don't you dare?" A cold smile played on Martin's lips. "What I am holding in my hand is your woman's fate." After a pause, he continued with a smile, "what will your woman feel if she knows that you are only an orphan wandering on the street? Do you think she will still love you?"
Colin was shocked again.
Lily was the apple of his eye. She had never gone through any hardship. She was not that kind of girl who could suffer hardships. She was the flower of the greenhouse. If He had really lost everything. She would never be with him
As long as he took control of the Li group the day after tomorrow, everything would be perfect. Only when he became strong, no one could threaten them.
But why did this accident happen at this time.
"Don't hurt her." Said Colin in a hoarse voice.
"You only have three hours to think. If you don't have an answer for three hours, I will accept your woman without mercy. And I can't guarantee her safety. " Martin smiled again.
His laughter pierced into Colin's ears.
"Master Colin, I'll wait for your answer."
After hanging up the phone, Colin sat on the sofa in low spirits. What could he do for three hours
It reminded Colin of the mini tracker in the pendant that he had given Lily. He quickly turned it on, but there was no signal at all. Martin was not Carlos, he knew who that necklace was.
He immediately dialed Vivek's number. "Search for Martin all over the city. Anyone who finds him kill him without mercy." He had wanted to keep Martin alive, but now there was no need to keep him alive. He wanted him to die.
But he ordered to search for him for so many days, but they failed. What could he do in three hours now.
He had waited twenty years for this conference, but he didn't want to give up.
In the past 20 years, he had never been confident. Because of his inferiority complex, he lived carefully, and tried to control everything in his own hands.
Now, the problem he had been avoiding was exposed in front of him. The Li group and Lily Which one is more important.
Lily Colin rubbed between his eyebrows.
The first time he saw her, she was a small, pink, adorable baby. At that time, when he heard that he could be a brother, he felt very novel.
But he didn't like Lily at that time because of his innate self-abasement and vigilance. He isolated everyone and everything from her.
However, as time went by, his feelings for this girl gradually changed. The habitual care had finally turned into love.
One was his lover, the other was the position he yearned for many years. How could he choose? Colin was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, just waiting for two days. Why couldn't God give him two days of comfort!
If he was not the second son of the
Li family, would Lily rely on him as before? Would she think he was omnipotent? Colin didn't know the answer in his heart. All his honor and fortune were brought by this identity, except for that, he had nothing.
However 'give up Lily...' He didn't want her to leave.
At his wedding banquet with Zoey, he saw her crying downstairs. It was at that time that he made up his mind to become strong, so that he could protect his favorite little princess.
Now, he had to make a choice, to protect her or to become stronger
Colin didn't know what to do. He was afraid of going back to the past. He was afraid that his past would be uncovered by someone. Not only others, but himself despised and hated his past.
