Chapter 361 Youâre Not A Tanner
Beckham felt humiliated, so he raised his hand and slapped Gwenn again. âApologize to Mrs. Lenoir!â
Gwenn was in tears from the pain. She gritted her teeth. âL
Are you going to apologize?â
Beckham raised his hand as he threatened her.
âForget it, Beckham.â
Mr. Tanner smiled indifferently. He lifted his hand to pull Beckhamâs hand down. âIf this was the past, it would be acceptable if you hit her to teach her a lesson.â
âBut nowâŠ
Mr. Tanner glanced at Gwenn nonchalantly. âSheâs no longer a Tanner. It would be inexcusable if you continue to hit her.
Beckhamâs face turned pale.
Gwenn looked up in astonishment. She didnât dare to believe her ears.
The crowd around them was in an uproar.
As far as everyone knew, Beckhamâs wife, Charisa Neller, had left the Tanner family twenty years ago and had never appeared again. Gwenn was the only daughter of Charisa and the head of the Tanner household.
But now, Mr. Tanner was saying. Gwenn wasnât a Tanner?
âGrandpa⊠Youâre joking, right?â
Gwenn had a handprint mark on her tear-streaked face as she crawled over to pull the corner of Mr. Tannerâs shirt. âGrandpa, you must be joking, right?â
âHow can I⊠How is it possible that Iâm not a Tanner?â
- Iâve been a Tanner since I was young.
Mr. Tanner sneered and grabbed Gwennâs hand on the corner of his shirt. He pried apart her fingers one at a time.
âYouâre notâ

Gwenn was utterly perplexed.
She turned to look at Beckham. âDad, IâŠâ
Mr. Tanner had a hesitant expression, but he sighed indifferently. âWhat your grandfather is saying is true.â
The crowd was in a commotion.
Mr. Tanner glanced at Beckham. âItâs time to announce it.â
âItâs like this.â
Beckham took a deep breath and slowly walked to the banister on the second floor. He towered over everyone at the scene. âActually, everyone must be quite surprised. Iâm only forty-six years old this year. It isnât my fiftieth birthday yet, so why did I hold such a grand birthday banquet?â
Actually, I have something to announce.â
The man took a deep breath and glanced at the butler by the side.
The butler understood implicitly and immediately lowered a large white screen before projecting an image on it with a projector.
The lights in the entire hall darkened.
Cherise was slightly at a loss as Damien held her in his arms. âWhat are theyâŠâ
âTheyâre about to announce the inexplicable mystery.â
Damien narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen intently.
His European information network had sent him information in the past few days.
He understood to some extent why Mr. Tanner liked Cherise so much.
If Cherise was the secret that the Tanner family wanted to solve tonight, Mandy would no longer be a problem.
An image was quickly projected on the white screen.
It showed a young Beckham and a young woman standing by the sea.
The woman on screen had black, lively eyes like Cherise.

âThis is my wife, Charisa Neller.â
Beckham took a deep breath. âAs everyone knows, my wife, Charisa, left home for certain reasons nineteen years ago. She left our child with me to raise.â
âEveryone is well acquainted with the child. Sheâs the daughter of the Tanner family, Gwenn Tanner.â
âAll these years, the Tanner family and I trusted with absolute certainty that this child was my daughter, and we didnât doubt it at all.â
