Chapter 2487: Chapter 193: The Wallace Family Seeking Connections
The wedding of David Redington and Leslie Howard has been officially scheduled.
Since it’s Leslie Howard’s first pregnancy, and she’s been busy filming recently, perhaps from exhaustion, she has been increasingly drowsy since the baby was detected.
The planning of the wedding can’t be left to Leslie Howard now.
Due to certain reasons, David Redington initially had the Wallace family arrange it. Now that Lily knows, she naturally wants to take over and be hands-on.
The Wallace family thus had the opportunity to interact with the eldest daughter of the Reddington family, Mrs. Lucas, and of course, they were overjoyed beyond measure.
Not just Mrs. Wallace, but even Bruce Wallace talked about it with everyone.
They have a Miss Wallace, Leslie, a good child who married the eldest son of the Reddington family.
The Wallace family will soon form a kinship with the Reddingtons and the Lucas family too.
Truly stepping into the highest aristocracy is just around the corner.
These days, Bruce Wallace no longer worries about his daughter marrying William Carter.
Even though Winona Wallace ended up in this state, which caused him regret and heartache, Mrs. Wallace was right about one thing.
That at this crucial moment, the Wallace family must avoid any mistakes.
Whether the Wallace family can truly step into the top wealthy circles depends on whether Leslie Howard can marry into the Reddington family smoothly.
If the Wallace family has a scandal at this time, it would be bad if it affects Leslie Howard.
Even though Bruce Wallace adored his daughter, the last time Mr. Lucas dismissed her in front of so many media, it left him thoroughly humiliated.
Now, being able to become relatives with the Lucas family, and truly connect with the most prestigious family in A City, for Bruce Wallace... at this time, it’s more important than his daughter.
In the Wallace’s office, Winona Wallace was blocked by Bruce Wallace’s secretary, for who knows how many times.
"Second heir, the CEO is really not here. You better go back first."
"How can he not be here? You’re my father’s secretary; why would he not be here while you’re here? I don’t care; I want to go in, I want to see him..."
The secretary struggled to stop Winona Wallace. He couldn’t hold her back alone, so nearby assistants and security also stepped in to help.
"It’s truly impossible, second heir. The CEO is in a meeting, and it’s strictly forbidden for anyone to enter his office without authorization."
"What second heir? I am Miss Wallace, the eldest daughter! All of you are fickle, obeying outwardly but defying inwardly. I will tell my father how you’ve treated me privately; beware, I’ll have him fire you all!"
In the past, this was the most effective way for Winona Wallace to intimidate others.
However, now, it no longer worked.
Of course, these subordinates of Bruce Wallace knew that he was indeed in the office at that moment.
But Bruce Wallace couldn’t face Winona’s pleading; nor could he go against the lady’s instruction to marry her off to William Carter.
Therefore, he could only have the secretary block her.
Facing his once most cherished daughter, Bruce Wallace had no words.
...
No one knew how long it took, but the noise outside finally ceased.
Inside the CEO’s office, Bruce Wallace sat on this side of the sofa, looking at Iris Yates on the other end.
"You’ve seen the situation with Winona now. I’ve been avoiding her by staying at the office and haven’t been home for several days. You need to pay more attention to her at home. Don’t tell her about our plans yet, but regarding other things... just go along with her."
"Yes, I understand." Iris Yates nodded, showing a trace of grace.
Since Leslie Howard could marry David Redington, Bruce Wallace’s attitude toward Iris Yates had become more equal.
However, accustomed to being superior in the past, he couldn’t help but have a tone of command when speaking to her.
"How is the situation at home? How are the wedding arrangements for Leslie? And about Winona’s wedding, did you proactively mention my wishes to the Redington family by bypassing the lady?"
A fleeting slyness flashed in Iris Yates’ eyes, so quickly.
Then she shook her head, pretending to be timid and said, "I haven’t said anything, I... can’t bring myself to."
