Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) Novel -
Chapter 788
Chapter 788 Meeting The “Curvaceous” Gwenn
Gwenn’s inner fire crackled. “What the hell! Is she blind or something? My body is a symphony of seduction, the
kind that takes men’s breath away. But in Cherise’s eyes, this little viper, I’m suddenly ‘fat,’ ‘plump’? Like some
middle-aged frump?”
“So, this is your sister,” Priscilla said, curling her lips into a cold smirk. Her gaze was icy as she studied Gwenn for a
moment, then she laughed. “This pretend niece, why not say hello to your Aunt Priscilla?”
Priscilla had previously heard about Gwenn from Damien.
When Damien found Priscilla, he informed her that one of the main reasons Cherisa didn’t return to the Tanner
family after Charisa’s death was because of Gwenn.
Firstly, Gwenn and Cherise had always been at odds, so she didn’t want to share a roof with Gwenn.
Secondly, Beckham treated Gwenn, his adopted daughter, as equally important as Cherise, his biological daughter.
She didn’t want to stay in the Tanner family and constantly clashed with Gwenn, causing disappointment and sorrow
for Beckham.
Priscilla’s brow furrowed with displeasure.
She couldn’t understand why Beckham, who had acknowledged Cherise as his own, would let such minor issues
drive her away from the Tanner family.
This lingering resentment had cast a long shadow, poisoning her perception of Gwenn even before they had met.
Now, face-to-face, Priscilla found her dislike solidifying, a distaste that permeated Gwenn’s very being.
“Hello,” Gwenn offered, a strained smile gracing her lips. “Look, you’re Cherise’s aunt, not mine. I’m just Dad’s
adopted child. No need for all the aunt stuff, right?”
“Why not?” Priscilla countered, her eyes glinting with a challenge. “Beckham is my sister’s husband, and his
children are obligated to address me properly, whether adopted or by blood.”
“You’re Beckham’s adopted daughter, remember? I don’t understand why being adopted gives you the right to
disrespect elders. If you want no part of me, it’s easy. Just stop being Beckham’s adopted daughter. Problem
solved.”
Gwenn’s brow furrowed at Priscilla’s barb. She was about to unleash a retort when Beckham’s voice boomed,
“Gwenn, hurry up and greet your Aunt Priscilla!”
Gwenn wanted to argue, but the stern glint in Beckham’s eyes stopped her cold. He rarely looked at her like that,
and it was pure fire. She rolled her eyes internally but swallowed her pride. “Aunt Priscilla.”
Priscilla’s smile was thin. “Hmm, good girl.”
She turned to Cherise. “Isn’t your sister a ray of sunshine? But why did Damien say she always goes after you?”
