Chapter 789 The Adopted Child Refused Aunt Priscilla

“Tsk tsk, Tanner’s family took in a stray, now she bites the hand that feeds her. Shameful,

really.”

Beckham squirmed under the constant murmurs, his face etched with discomfort. He

cleared his throat, “Actually, the whole thing’s blown out of proportion-

Cherise stood stock-still, a bitter smile on her lips as she watched her father scramble to

defend Gwenn. It all made sense now why Damien was determined to stir the pot.

In Beckham’s eyes, this was about protecting his family and Gwenn had been a part of it

for over twenty years. Her connection, confirmed by a DNA test five years ago, couldn’t

compete with those shared years. Blood ties weren’t everything, she understood.

Gwenn met Priscilla’s gaze head-on, her voice firm. “So that’s what this is all about. The

news article, yes, that was my work.”

“However, the details about Cherry’s unethical conduct were sent to our supervisor. I had

to fulfill a professional obligation, or someone would have anyway.”

Gwenn threw Cherise a side-eye, a smirk playing on her lips. “Look, sis, don’t hold a

grudge against me. If I hadn’t handled that news piece myself, who knows what kind of

twisted mess it would’ve been? I did what I could to soften the blow, you know?”

what happened.”

Gwenn’s words were a masterclass in deflection. She played the martyr, the regretful

would never hold a grudge against you, Gwenn.”

But Damien saw through the charade. “Why shouldn’t she hold grudges?” he scoffed,

pulling Cherise close.

“If someone slandered my wife, I wouldn’t rest until they faced the consequences.”

His gaze, cold and unforgiving, met Gwenn’s. “You claimed to care about Cherry,” he said,

his words dripping with ice.

“But did you even bother contacting her before writing that hatchet job? You had the

Tanner family’s information, for God’s sake! Why didn’t you give her a chance to defend

herself?”

Gwenn’s mask slipped. The truth, laid bare by Damien’s unwavering gaze, was a damning

indictment. Without a single conversation with Cherise, she had condemned her based on

whispers and shadows.
