After Greg finished explaining, two bodyguards brought in a man, who was none other than the one Gwenn had hired to impersonate Raymond.
The man immediately looked down when he saw Beckham. The left half of his face still had makeup to resemble Beckham, while the right half had makeup to make him look like Raymond.
Beckham stood up in shock, gazing at the manâs left half of his face, which was identical to his own.
For a while, he was at a loss for words.
âThisâ¦â He had stayed in his room all night and had never considered visiting Raymond.
He never expected Gwenn to use his name to deceive Damienâs bodyguards and rescue the enemy who had caused him and Charisa a lifetime of pain.
Beckham, over fifty, swayed heavily and collapsed onto the couch.
âHow could this⦠how couldâ¦â
How could it be?
I raised Gwenn. She understands my feelings and what I value and care about the most. How could she rescue my enemy behind my back?
âMy people have investigated.â Damien sighed before continuing, âGwenn orchestrated all this. She hired people to harass me and Cherry. She also placed a signalâblocking device where Cherry and I had dinner to keep me away. Then, she took advantage of the fact that my subordinates would not resist your orders and successfully rescued Raymond.â
Damien added, âThey have left the hospital and gone to the port. Raymond has already left Ziphon on a smuggling ship.â
As Damien calmly explained, Beckham trembled with rage.
âHow could Gwennâ¦â
How could she hurt me like this? She knows how much I despise Raymond! My hatred for him is second only to Damien. After all, it was Raymond who ruined and killed his family.
Yet, Gwenn, my beloved adopted daughter, sided with my enemy and helped him escape!
Beckham closed his eyes tightly. His heart felt like countless stones were crushing it. âShe has disappointed me too muchâ¦â
âDad.â Damien took a deep breath, âI came here in the middle of the night to talk to you and show you Gwennâs true colors.â
âIâve always known that you cherish Gwenn more than Cherise. In your eyes, Cherise and you only share a familial connection, while Gwenn is the one youâve watched grow up.â
âI canât bear to see you hurt Cherise repeatedly to protect Gwenn, so I urgently wanted to show you Gwennâs true nature.â
âCherise has always felt like an orphan since she was little. She finally reunited with her mother after so many years, but unfortunately, her mother passed away too soon. You are her closest relative. You shouldnât divide your love for your daughter with someone unrelated.â
After saying this, Damien stood up. âThatâs all I wanted to say. If you canât sleep tonight, I hope you can think about how to treat Cherise fairly in the future.â
With that, Damien stood up and left with his subordinates.
Beckham stood rooted in place, staring blankly in the direction Damien had left. The scenes from the surveillance footage kept replaying in his mind. His heart was in turmoil.
Gwennâ¦
After a moment, Beckham closed his eyes before slowly reopening them.
