Chapter 358 Why Must I Leave?
After that, Kareen handed the invitation to Gwenn. “Gwenn, can you recognize the handwriting? It’s from someone in your family, right?”
“Does anyone in your family have such terrible handwriting?”
Gwenn frowned and glanced at the black gilded invitation in her hands.
The handwritten words were in gold.
Although the writing wasn’t perfect…
It was her grandfather’s handwriting.
Seeing Gwenn staring at the invitation without saying anything. Cherise looked up and smiled. “Have you recognized the handwriting, Ms. Tanner?”
Gwenn checked the time.
It was ten minutes before the birthday banquet was scheduled to start.
If she rejected the invitation and asked Cherise to leave within ten minutes…
No one would find out!
She narrowed her eyes and hesitated for a moment before standing tall over Cherise and, smiling. “No one in the Tanner family has such ugly handwriting.”
Cherise’s gaze froze.
The invitation is clearly…
She narrowed her eyes. “There’s a price to pay for lying, Ms. Tanner.”
“You’re the one who will pay the price!”
Kareen snorted coldly and reached out to push Cherise. “You imitated the handwriting of a Tanner family member and forged an invitation to sneak into the banquet. You won’t get away with it when the Tanner family finds out!”
“Why don’t you hurry up and leave?”
“Don’t make us call security!”
Cherise stood her ground without moving. “I haven’t done anything wrong. Why do I have

to leave?”
“Damn it!”
Kareen gritted her teeth. “Are you sure you haven’t done anything wrong?!”
“Gwenn!”
Gwenn narrowed her eyes. As she raised her hand to call security, she picked up Cherise’s invitation and intended to tear it apart.
It would be best to have no evidence!
She never expected that as soon as she tore off a corner of Cherise’s invitation, a white. figure would leap onto her.
Cherise and Gwenn fell to the floor, and Cherise snatched the invitation back. “If I forged the invitation, why are you destroying it, Ms. Tanner?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to keep it as proof of why you wanted to get rid of me?”
Gwenn was pinned under Cherise. She didn’t have the strength to get up.
Cherise was too strong!,
“Security!” Kareen called out.
As she pulled Cherise’s hand, she instructed others to take the invitation from Cherise’s arms while repeatedly calling for security.
The hall descended into chaos.
“What’s happening?!”
A middle-aged man’s commanding voice echoed through the hall. The entire room fell silent.
The voice belonged to the main character of the banquet, Beckham Tanner,
Kareen was forced to release Cherise’s hand.
Cherise also stood up from the floor.
She still fiercely protected the invitation in her hands.
“Mr. Beckham!”

Kareen stood up and began to protest. “Cherise Shaw! She doesn’t have an invitation, and. she forged one to sneak into the banquet!”
“Gwenn and I were trying to maintain order and peace. We wanted her to admit her mistake and leave, but she refused. She even made Gwenn fall!”
“Oh?”
Mr. Tanner slowly descended from the second floor behind Beckham, using a walking.
stick.
The old man had a smile on his face, and his voice was gentle. “Girl, tell me what really. happened.”
Kareen’s heart leaped with joy!
From the looks of it, Mr. Tanner clearly didn’t trust Cherise!
So, she began to embellish her account of what had occurred. “Gwenn and I saw Cherise here and thought she didn’t have an invitation, so we came over to ask her.”
“Gwenn was initially willing to give her one if she sincerely admitted that she had snuck in since we had been getting along well for the past few days.”
