Chapter 460 A Show
The needle sparkled in the sunlight.
âThis needle is flexible and microscopic. Itâs difficult to notice. The needle is coated with an ointment. that triggers an allergic reaction in the b*dy. Thatâs why Mr. Tannerâs b*dy reacts this way.â
Gwennâs hands trembled around Aaron as she turned and walked towards Cherise.
âSmack!â
The sound of the slap across Cheriseâs face reverberated through the house, leaving everyone shocked.
Beckham hurried forward and stood between Cherise and Gwenn.
âGwenn, what are you doing?â
âIâm teaching her a lesson!â Gwenn sniffled. Her voice was still hoarse from crying. She wiped her tears. and looked pitifully at Cherise. âI know youâve suffered these past few years and that you have a dislike for this family, but Grandpa is over seventy! You shouldnât hide something so malicious in your gift and cause him such discomfort!â Gwennâs agitation grew, and she burst into tears. âCherry, if youâre upset that I took your place and made you wander the streets, come at me! Iâm not afraid! Iâm willing to endure anything for Dad and Grandpa!â
Cherise shook her head in disbelief at Gwennâs exaggerated performance. âWe havenât even uncovered the truth, and yet youâre so eager to blame me and say I placed the needle there.â
I canât believe sheâs accusing me of doing that to Grandpa just because Iâm upset!
âYou wonât confess now.â
Gwenn looked pitiful as she wiped her tears and huffed, âGrandpa and Daddy will take your side since youâre the legitimate daughter of the Tanner family. Even if the slap was because I cared for Grandpa, they would still think I was in the wrong.â
Gwenn raised her hand again.
âSmack!â
It was another slap, but this time it landed on Gwennâs own face. She was definitely not putting on a show because the sound of the slap was louder than when she hit Cherise. Her face immediately started to swell after the impact.
âGwenn! Stop causing a commotion! We havenât resolved the situation yet!â Beckham frowned disapprovingly at Gwenn.
âA commotion?!â Gwenn cried and turned to Cherise with a bitter smile. âTake a look, little sister. No one will blame you for anything you do. Dad even thinks Iâm causing a commotion by slapping myself to make things fair! Iâm not a Tanner by blood, so of course, Iâm in the wrong. IâŠâ
âEnough! Everyone, leave!â Aaron shouted from the bed, unable to watch any longer.
Jacob pressed his lips together and quietly said, âMr. Tanner needs to rest. Please leave the room.â
Upon hearing this, Gwenn turned her teary eyes away and walked out. The moment she left the room. Cherise noticed a sly grin appear on Gwennâs face. The grin seemed to say, âI can do anything you can do!â
Cherise felt her head throb. She knew Gwenn Tanner was difficult to handle. However, back then, she didnât have such a relationship with the Tanners. Now, she had become the daughter of the Tanner family, the familyâs princess.
