Chapter 358 Why Must I Leave?
After that, Kareen handed the invitation to Gwenn. âGwenn, can you recognize the handwriting? Itâs
from someone in your family, right?â
âDoes anyone in your family have such terrible handwriting?â
Gwenn frowned and glanced at the black gilded invitation in her hands.
The handwritten words were in gold.
Although the writing wasnât perfectâ¦
It was her grandfatherâs handwriting.
Seeing Gwenn staring at the invitation without saying anything. Cherise looked up and smiled. âHave
you recognized the handwriting, Ms. Tanner?â
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 minutesâ¦
No one would find out!
She narrowed her eyes and hesitated for a moment before standing tall over Cherise and, smiling. âNo
one in the Tanner family has such ugly handwriting.â
Cheriseâs gaze froze.
The invitation is clearlyâ¦
She narrowed her eyes. âThereâs a price to pay for lying, Ms. Tanner.â
âYouâre the one who will pay the price!â
Kareen snorted coldly and reached out to push Cherise. âYou imitated the handwriting of a Tanner
family member and forged an invitation to sneak into the banquet. You wonât get away with it when the
Tanner family finds out!â
âWhy donât you hurry up and leave?â
âDonât make us call security!â
Cherise stood her ground without moving. âI havenât done anything wrong. Why do I have
1/3
to leave?â
âDamn it!â
Kareen gritted her teeth. âAre you sure you havenât done anything wrong?!â
âGwenn!â
Gwenn narrowed her eyes. As she raised her hand to call security, she picked up Cheriseâs 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 Cheriseâs invitation, a white. figure would
leap onto her.
Cherise and Gwenn fell to the floor, and Cherise snatched the invitation back. âIf I forged the invitation,
why are you destroying it, Ms. Tanner?â
âWouldnât it be better to keep it as proof of why you wanted to get rid of me?â
Gwenn was pinned under Cherise. She didnât have the strength to get up.
Cherise was too strong!,
âSecurity!â Kareen called out.
As she pulled Cheriseâs hand, she instructed others to take the invitation from Cheriseâs arms while
repeatedly calling for security.
The hall descended into chaos.
âWhatâs happening?!â
A middle-aged manâs 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 Cheriseâs hand.
Cherise also stood up from the floor.
She still fiercely protected the invitation in her hands.
âMr. Beckham!â
2/3
Kareen stood up and began to protest. âCherise Shaw! She doesnât have an invitation, and. she forged
one to sneak into the banquet!â
âGwenn 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!â
âOh?â
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. âGirl, tell me what really. happened.â
Kareenâs heart leaped with joy!
From the looks of it, Mr. Tanner clearly didnât trust Cherise!
So, she began to embellish her account of what had occurred. âGwenn and I saw Cherise here and
thought she didnât have an invitation, so we came over to ask her.â
âGwenn 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.â
