Chapter 361 You’re Not A Tanner
Beckham felt humiliated, so he raised his hand and slapped Gwenn again. “Apologize to Mrs. Lenoir!”
Gwenn was in tears from the pain. She gritted her teeth. “L
Are you going to apologize?”
Beckham raised his hand as he threatened her.
“Forget it, Beckham.”
Mr. Tanner smiled indifferently. He lifted his hand to pull Beckham’s hand down. “If this was the past, it would be acceptable if you hit her to teach her a lesson.”
“But now…
Mr. Tanner glanced at Gwenn nonchalantly. “She’s no longer a Tanner. It would be inexcusable if you continue to hit her.
Beckham’s face turned pale.
Gwenn looked up in astonishment. She didn’t dare to believe her ears.
The crowd around them was in an uproar.
As far as everyone knew, Beckham’s wife, Charisa Neller, had left the Tanner family twenty years ago and had never appeared again. Gwenn was the only daughter of Charisa and the head of the Tanner household.
But now, Mr. Tanner was saying. Gwenn wasn’t a Tanner?
“Grandpa… You’re joking, right?”
Gwenn had a handprint mark on her tear-streaked face as she crawled over to pull the corner of Mr. Tanner’s shirt. ‘Grandpa, you must be joking, right?”
“How can I… How is it possible that I’m not a Tanner?”
“I’ve been a Tanner since I was young.”
Mr. Tanner sneered and grabbed Gwenn’s hand on the corner of his shirt. He pried apart her fingers one at a time.
“You’re not”
Gwenn was utterly perplexed.
She turned to look at Beckham. “Dad, I…”
Mr. Tanner had a hesitant expression, but he sighed indifferently. “What your grandfather is saying is true.”
The crowd was in a commotion.
Mr. Tanner glanced at Beckham. “It’s time to announce it.”
“It’s like this.”
Beckham took a deep breath and slowly walked to the banister on the second floor. He towered over everyone at the scene. “Actually, everyone must be quite surprised. I’m only forty-six years old this year. It isn’t my fiftieth birthday yet, so why did I hold such a grand birthday banquet?”
Actually, I have something to announce.”
The man took a deep breath and glanced at the butler by the side.
The butler understood implicitly and immediately lowered a large white screen before projecting an image on it with a projector.
The lights in the entire hall darkened.
Cherise was slightly at a loss as Damien held her in his arms. “What are they…”
“They’re about to announce the inexplicable mystery.”
Damien narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen intently.
His European information network had sent him information in the past few days.
He understood to some extent why Mr. Tanner liked Cherise so much.
If Cherise was the secret that the Tanner family wanted to solve tonight, Mandy would no longer be a problem.
An image was quickly projected on the white screen.
It showed a young Beckham and a young woman standing by the sea.
The woman on screen had black, lively eyes like Cherise.
“This is my wife, Charisa Neller.”
Beckham took a deep breath. “As everyone knows, my wife, Charisa, left home for certain reasons nineteen years ago. She left our child with me to raise.”
“Everyone is well acquainted with the child. She’s the daughter of the Tanner family, Gwenn Tanner.”
“All these years, the Tanner family and I trusted with absolute certainty that this child was my daughter, and we didn’t doubt it at all.”
