NovelAppChapter 360 I Had My Reasons
“Did you silently acknowledge it?” Mr. Tanner’s voice grew colder. “Beckham has really spoiled you!”
Gwenn looked up, tears pouring down her cheeks. “Grandpa… I… I had my reasons.”
“Reasons?”
“You intentionally misled others into believing your deceptive behavior. What were your reasons?”
The old man glared at Gwenn icily, his sharp voice devoid of affection.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Beckham immediately asked, “Dad, what is going on?”
Mr. Tanner’s expression calmed down at this point.
He snorted coldly. “When Cherise visited me yesterday, I told her to come to your birthday banquet
tonight. However, she said she couldn’t because she didn’t have an invitation.”
Gwenn’s eyes widened in response.
Gwenn had assumed that Cherise wouldn’t consider needing an invitation because she was a girl from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe countryside.
Gwenn never imagined that Cherise was aware the day before that she couldn’t enter without an
invitation!
Mr. Tanner sighed indifferently. “I didn’t think much of it. I told her she could enter as she wished, even
without an invitation.”
“Guess what this girl said?”
“This girl said that rules exist for a reason, and she couldn’t enter without an invitation. card. She said
she couldn’t go against the Tanner family’s rules.”
“Since this girl is so stubborn and particular, I found an empty card on the spot and wrote out an
invitation for her. I told her she had to attend the banquet tonight.”
As Mr. Tanner spoke, Beckham furrowed his brows. He looked up at Cherise, and a hint of approval
flashed in his eyes.
“It’s a shame that your darling daughter Gwenn and Ms. Miles thought my handwritten invitation was
forged and insisted on chasing Cherise out.”

Mr. Tanner shook his head in exasperation. “Tell me. Isn’t it humiliating if someone I invited with a
handwritten invitation was chased out?”
Since Mr. Tanner had said so, everyone present would be foolish not to understand.
Beckham furrowed his brows and looked down at Gwenn, who was kneeling on the floor. “Is that true,
Gwenn?”
“Yes…”
A crowd surrounded them. Gwenn knew that lying was useless, so she could only admit. defeat and
nod. “It’s my mistake…”
‘Smack”
Beckham slapped her. “Your grandfather taught you to read and write when you were young. You said
you didn’t recognize your grandfather’s handwriting and claimed to have never heard his name just to

He was forceful. Gwenn’s face immediately swelled from the slap.
“Mr. Beckham, you don’t have to be so angry.”
After observing the scene from the side for a while, Damien finally walked over slowly and embraced
Cherise. “My wife has no intention of blaming Ms. Tanner.”
“She just hopes that the Tanner family can discipline Ms. Tanner more in the future.”
“My wife is just a girl from the countryside. She isn’t much of a threat to Ms. Tanner and Ms. Miles.
Neither of you needs to scheme against her.”
As he said this, the crowd started their vigorous discussions once again.
They recalled how Gwenn and Kareen kept calling Cherise a crude country bumpkin.
When they thought about it…
If Mrs. Lenoir is really the rude hillbilly they had made her out to be, why is she more thoughtful
than them?
Did the two young ladies who claim to be intelligent deliberately make things difficult for a girl from the
countryside?
As the surrounding discussions grew louder, they made nastier remarks.
