Chapter 330 Are You up to the Challenge?
Beckham muttered under his breath, “She was raised in luxury. So how did she end up in a mountain village?”
Such a coincidence was unlikely.
He took a deep breath and smiled at Cherise. “That may have been too presumptuous of
me.”
Cherise shook her head vigorously, “It’s fine.”
“It’s my honor to share a resemblance with someone Mr. Tanner used to know.”
They chatted leisurely until Damien steered the conversation back to the main topic.
“Mr. Tanner, our reason for coming, aside from celebrating your birthday, is to make a request.”
Beckham chuckled, “Let me guess. You’re here to find the method to destroy the control chips.”
“I remember you bringing it up once in your letter.”
“Unfortunately, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
Beckham looked Damien straight in the eyes and said, “You should know it cost them at pretty penny to order that many chips from us. All with the expectation that they would be able to make use of the controlled people after they reach adulthood.”
“Now, after many years of investment and waiting, they’re about to see the fruits of their labor. And you want me to tell you how to destroy them?”
“What do you think will happen to the Tanner family’s reputation if I were to tell you?”
Beckham whipped out a cigar and lit it with a flick. “I strongly suggest you give up on the idea, Mr. Lenoir. No one from the family will tell you how to do that.”
Cherise clenched her hands tightly.
“But Mr. Tanner, your chip violates basic human rights!”
“Mandy was just seven years old when they put the chip in her! She had no choice!”
“You’re essentially an accomplice in destroying her life!”

Beckham couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the fire in Cherise’s
determined expression.
