Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 A Painful Reality 

“However,” Beckham took a deep breath, “half a year ago, I discovered during one of Gwenn’s physical examinations that her DNA does not match mine.” 

“Despite having the same blood type, we are not biologically related.” 

This revelation caused a commotion among the crowd. 

Gwenn’s face turned pale as she knelt on the floor, as if all the blood had drained from her face. 

She… was not Beckham’s biological daughter… 

How can this be… 

She had always taken pride in being the Tanner family’s daughter. 

Just ten minutes ago, she had even mocked Cherise mercilessly, believing herself to be born into a noble family. 

But now… 

She sat on the ground, paralyzed, and shook her head vigorously. “This can’t be real…” 

“It’s not true!” 

Kareen crawled over and hugged her tightly. “Gwenn, the DNA test center must have made a mistake. There has to be an error!” 

On stage, Beckham felt a twinge of sympathy as he witnessed her distress. 

After all, Gwenn had been his daughter in every sense of the word for nineteen years. 

It pained him to see her like this. 

But… 

Reality was often painful. 

He took a deep breath and continued, “I found it difficult to accept this result, so I conducted multiple tests with a dozen DNA test centers. All the results confirmed that Gwenn is not biologically related to me.” 

“After over a month of investigation, the Tanner family has come to believe that when Charisa left me all those years ago, she also secretly took our biological daughter with her.” 

1/3 

“We suspect that Charisa substituted my biological daughter for a child adopted from the orphanage.” 

Offstage, frenzied discussions erupted. 

They had stumbled upon astonishing information about a wealthy and influential family, completely free of charge! 

It’s gossip about the Tanner family! 

Attending the birthday banquet was truly worth it! 

“We have been searching for Charisa and this child for six months, but we have come up empty-handed.” 

Beckham took a deep breath. “Therefore, on my forty-sixth birthday today, I have invited all of you to my birthday banquet to earnestly implore for help in finding my biological daughter.” 

“If anyone can provide information about my daughter’s whereabouts, the Tanner family will be forever indebted to them.” 

“You can use this favor to request anything within our capabilities. I will not hesitate to give up the entire Tanner Residence.” 

The crowd stirred once again. 

The Tanner family’s wealth… 

No one would turn down such an offer!
