NovelEnglishChapter 481 A Fool Not To Accept
Gwen Tanner descended the spiral staircase with a smile on her lips. “Cherise is her own person.
Maybe she doesn’t even want to be the second lady of the Tanner family?”
Cherise pursed her lips.
While she knew Gwen did not bear any ill will towards her, Cherise didn’t exactly like her.
But what she said was true.
If she had to choose between staying in the Shaw family village or returning with the Tanner family as
their second lady, she wouldn’t choose the Tanner family.
“Cherise.”
Grandpa Tanner glared at Gwen. “I know you can make your own decisions, but as a family, there are
some things we need to consider.”
“Your father wants to make a public statement telling everyone you’re a daughter of the Tanner family.
That means you have to change your name to Charlotte Tanner.”

“Damien’s sister and uncle are both urging for a go at you. We can protect you while we’re here, but
once we’re gone, they might pose as obstacles for you.”
“The best way to deter them is to announce your identity as a Tanner.”
“Otherwise…”
Grandpa Tanner sighed. “They’ll find any reason to get in your way.”
“For instance, you were almost taken to the police station when we arrived.”
“Did you really think Danielle didn’t know who you were?”
Cherise stumbled backward in shock.
“She might not have known you were a Tanner, but she knew you are Cherise’s daughter.”
“But how dare she treat you that way while knowing you were Cherise’s daughter?”
“Because she knew who Cherise was and that Cherise couldn’t let people know you were her
daughter.”
“And if somewhere in the future, Cherise were to be prosecuted, she could say you were completely
unaware.”
“Which is why, to ensure Danielle never tries to hurt you…”
“The best way is to change your name to Charlotte Tanner and announce to everyone that you are a
daughter of the Tanner family Ill get her to give up any ideas of giving you a hard time in the future

Cherise bit her lip.
She looked into Grandpa Tanner’s worried eyes.
He told her the truth of the current situation. She would be a fool not to accept the lifeline he was
offering her.
But…
Did she really need to change her name?
She had already grown apart from her uncle and aunt.
If she changed her name…
There might be no way back..

Gwen popped a grape into her mouth as she lounged against the couch. “She has her own ideas.
Maybe she feels that her adopted parents are more important than you and her father?”
Gwen hit the nail on the head.
It also echoed what Grandpa Tanner was thinking.
He frowned and glared at Gwen. “Go back to your room!”
“This is Cherise’s and Damien’s home!”
“You’re eating their food and drinking their water. Stop yapping!”
Gwen rolled her eyes. “I just want to help Cherise solve her problem.”
“You’re trying to stir up some trouble! Just keep
cating your grapes and stop talking!”
Grandpa Tanner turned back to Cherise. “Cherise, I don’t want to put you in a tough spot. Take your
time and think it over.”
“You don’t need to take the Tanner name if you don’t want to. Neller is fine, too. Then we can say
you’ve taken your mother’s name.”
