Chapter 461 Sabotage
I can’t believe such a bossy person has become my sister… What a pain in the oss.
“Cherry, please stay back,” Aaron said as Cherise was about to leave.
Cherise nodded and closed the door after everyone else had left.
“Come here. Aaron gestured for her to come to him.
“Grandpa. Cherise nibbled her lips.
“Think carefully. Whose hands did the shirt you gave me go through? Someone is trying to harm you with this shirt.”
Cherise’s heart warmed from Aaron’s words. “Grandpa, you don’t think…”
“I know you don’t have those intentions. How can I not know my own granddaughter?” Aaron grinned at the docile girl. “You look just like your mother, but your silliness is just like your father!”
Cherise lowered her head shyly, “Mr. Tanner… Oh, Daddy is not silly.”
“How is he not? He couldn’t even tell Gwenn was acting!”
Cherise was taken aback. She looked up at Aaron, “You could tell?”
“Of course, I could! What do you take me for?” Aaron rolled his eyes and continued, “I’m Aaron Tanner,
a master in the field! That little fox is too young to be acting in front of me!”
Aaron raised his hand and caressed the swollen part of Cherise’s face. “Does it hurt?”
“Not at all.” The young girl shook her head and grinned at the old man, “It doesn’t hurt as long as you believe me!”
The old man shook his head in exasperation. “Oh, you. Quick. Think about whose hands this shirt has gone through.”
Cherise’s brows knitted together as she pondered the question.
Cherise went shopping with Frances, but Frances had left when she bought the shirt. Sunny’s mother might not like her, but she had already gone to the warehouse when Cherise saw the shirt. She hadn’t. had time to look at her purchases as she went straight to the kitchen to make dinner when she got back.
So…. No one else but the shop owner could’ve done something to the shirt!
Cherise’s eyes bulged with realization. Her teacher had said that once all the wrong answers had been eliminated, the remaining one would be the correct answer, no matter how preposterous.

Cherise felt a chill go down her spine. She thought back to when she met the shop owner afternoon. The lady had enthusiastically shown her around the store. After Cherise had selected two shirts, she said she would get some new ones from the back as those were dusty. Cherise had waited at long time for her to come back. She had even texted Lucy, saying the shop owner was so slow.
Now that she thought about it, the shop owner must have sabotaged the shirt when she went to the
back!
But… there wasn’t any animosity between them…
Suddenly, she thought about Sunny’s mother. She must have done something because she worked
there…
Her body broke out in a cold sweat. She never thought that a simple shopping trip could be tainted. with such malicious intentions.
“Does something come to mind?” Aaron sighed and held Cherise’s hand, “You’re too naive.”
