Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 I Had My Reasons 

“Did you silently acknowledge it?” Mr. Tanner’s voice grew colder. “Beckham has really spoiled you!” 

Gwenn looked up, tears pouring down her cheeks. “Grandpa… I… I had my reasons.” 

“Reasons?” 

“You intentionally misled others into believing your deceptive behavior. What were your reasons?” 

The old man glared at Gwenn icily, his sharp voice devoid of affection. 

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Beckham immediately asked, “Dad, what is going on?” 

Mr. Tanner’s expression calmed down at this point. 

He snorted coldly. “When Cherise visited me yesterday, I told her to come to your birthday banquet tonight. However, she said she couldn’t because she didn’t have an invitation.” 

Gwenn’s eyes widened in response. 

Gwenn had assumed that Cherise wouldn’t consider needing an invitation because she was a girl from the countryside. 

Gwenn never imagined that Cherise was aware the day before that she couldn’t enter without an invitation! 

Mr. Tanner sighed indifferently. “I didn’t think much of it. I told her she could enter as she wished, even without an invitation.” 

“Guess what this girl said?” 

“This girl said that rules exist for a reason, and she couldn’t enter without an invitation. card. She said she couldn’t go against the Tanner family’s rules.” 

“Since this girl is so stubborn and particular, I found an empty card on the spot and wrote out an invitation for her. I told her she had to attend the banquet tonight.” 

As Mr. Tanner spoke, Beckham furrowed his brows. He looked up at Cherise, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. 

“It’s a shame that your darling daughter Gwenn and Ms. Miles thought my handwritten invitation was forged and insisted on chasing Cherise out.” 

1/2 

Mr. Tanner shook his head in exasperation. “Tell me. Isn’t it humiliating if someone I invited with a handwritten invitation was chased out?” 

Since Mr. Tanner had said so, everyone present would be foolish not to understand. 

Beckham furrowed his brows and looked down at Gwenn, who was kneeling on the floor. “Is that true, Gwenn?” 

“Yes…” 

A crowd surrounded them. Gwenn knew that lying was useless, so she could only admit. defeat and nod. “It’s my mistake…” 

‘Smack” 

Beckham slapped her. “Your grandfather taught you to read and write when you were young. You said you didn’t recognize your grandfather’s handwriting and claimed to have never heard his name just to take revenge on a Tanner family guest?!” 

He was forceful. Gwenn’s face immediately swelled from the slap. 

“Mr. Beckham, you don’t have to be so angry.” 

After observing the scene from the side for a while, Damien finally walked over slowly and embraced Cherise. “My wife has no intention of blaming Ms. Tanner.” 

“She just hopes that the Tanner family can discipline Ms. Tanner more in the future.”
