Chapter 460 A Show
The needle sparkled in the sunlight.
“This needle is flexible and microscopic. It’s difficult to notice. The needle is coated with an ointment. that triggers an allergic reaction in the body. That’s why Mr. Tanner’s body reacts this way.”
Gwenn’s hands trembled around Aaron as she turned and walked towards Cherise.
‘Smack!”
The sound of the slap across Cherise’s face reverberated through the house, leaving everyone shocked.
Beckham hurried forward and stood between Cherise and Gwenn.
“Gwenn, what are you doing?”
“I’m teaching her a lesson!” Gwenn sniffled. Her voice was still hoarse from crying. She wiped her tears. and looked pitifully at Cherise. “I know you’ve suffered these past few years and that you have a dislike for this family, but Grandpa is over seventy! You shouldn’t hide something so malicious in your gift and cause him such discomfort!” Gwenn’s agitation grew, and she burst into tears. “Cherry, if you’re upset that I took your place and made you wander the streets, come at me! I’m not afraid! I’m willing to endure anything for Dad and Grandpa!”
Cherise shook her head in disbelief at Gwenn’s exaggerated performance. “We haven’t even uncovered the truth, and yet you’re so eager to blame me and say I placed the needle there.”
I can’t believe she’s accusing me of doing that to Grandpa just because I’m upset!
“You won’t confess now.”
Gwenn looked pitiful as she wiped her tears and huffed, “Grandpa and Daddy will take your side since you’re the legitimate daughter of the Tanner family. Even if the slap was because I cared for Grandpa, they would still think I was in the wrong.”
Gwenn raised her hand again.
‘Smack!”
It was another slap, but this time it landed on Gwenn’s own face. She was definitely not putting on a show because the sound of the slap was louder than when she hit Cherise. Her face immediately started to swell after the impact.
“Gwenn! Stop causing a commotion! We haven’t resolved the situation yet!” Beckham frowned disapprovingly at Gwenn.
“A commotion?!” Gwenn cried and turned to Cherise with a bitter smile. “Take a look, little sister. No one will blame you for anything you do. Dad even thinks I’m causing a commotion by slapping myself to make things fair! I’m not a Tanner by blood, so of course, I’m in the wrong. I…”
“Enough! Everyone, leave!” Aaron shouted from the bed, unable to watch any longer.
Jacob pressed his lips together and quietly said, “Mr. Tanner needs to rest. Please leave the room.”
Upon hearing this, Gwenn turned her teary eyes away and walked out. The moment she left the room. Cherise noticed a sly grin appear on Gwenn’s face. The grin seemed to say, “I can do anything you can do!”
Cherise felt her head throb. She knew Gwenn Tanner was difficult to handle. However, back then, she didn’t have such a relationship with the Tanners. Now, she had become the daughter of the Tanner family, the family’s princess.
