Chapter 456 A Parent’s Love
“Your father didn’t believe you would be his daughter.”
“You don’t believe you are related to us either.”
“What can I do?”
“I can only throw this pile of identification certificates in your face for you to have a good look at the
truth!”
Cherise’s lips trembled in shock as she glanced meaningfully at Beckham.
Beckham had his gaze fixed on her, and their eyes locked.
Cherise looked away first.
The young girl cleared her throat and said, “I… I’ll gradually get used to it.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t feel elated with joy, but….
All these years, I harbored a deep hatred for my parents. I wanted to know how they could heartlessly abandon me in the dumpster all those years ago.
Now, everything has come to light. I’m in the wrong for hating my parents. I don’t have any reason or right to hate my birth parents because they never intended to abandon me.
Even my mother, whom I’ve never met, deliberately replaced me with another baby girl and took me away when she divorced Beckham.
Cherise paused in her thoughts and exhaled deeply, “I still don’t understand. Why did… Why did my mom take me away?”
She should’ve known how loving the Tanner family was toward children. I wouldn’t have faced any hardships if she had left me with them. Why did she go through all that trouble to put Gwenn there and take me away? She even ensured Beckham mistook me for Gwenn and was in love with me for so many years.
“Because…” The old man sighed and continued, “I’ll tell you in the future.”
Cherise shook her head, “What if I want to know now?”
The old man let out a long breath and spoke after a moment, “Rachel took you away because she was afraid you would be bullied. Not by our family, but by our enemies, as we had many enemies in the past. Your father was very ostentatious in the business circle and angered many people. Many of them. went after you and your mother, but your mother always resolved the situation amicably. However, in the end, she could no longer cope with that kind of life.”
“As for replacing you with Gwenn. Firstly, it was to give your father some comfort so he wouldn’t search for her. Secondly, it was to let everyone mistake Gwenn for you and treat the girl she left behind as the princess of the family. This way, it would prevent those nosy people from digging into your true identity. As for how you were taken away by Elvis…”
The old man closed his eyes.
“It’s because your mother’s next husband never trusted her from the beginning. He thought your mother was spying for information and ordered the driver to harm him. So, he imprisoned her like a criminal. You were taken away because your mother couldn’t take care of you. All these years, your mother never gave up searching for you. When your father found out Gwenn wasn’t his biological daughter, he, too, searched far and wide for you.”
The elderly man opened his eyes. He patted Cherise’s shoulder and sincerely said, “Don’t think you are not loved or that your parents do not care for you. They are searching everywhere for you because their love for you is too deep.”
