Chapter 2495: Chapter 201: Exposed in Public
"No, it can’t be, there must be a misunderstanding here. William Carter and his wife have long since lost their feelings for each other and are already in the process of divorce. Our Winona is not a mistress, the Wallace family is a reputable family, and would never condone such indulgence or bullying... Mrs. Lucas, there must be some mistake here."
Mrs. Wallace’s face was almost ashen, but she could only straighten her back, swallowing her grievances in silence.
She was crystal clear in her mind; at this moment, even if it was an uphill battle, she couldn’t admit that Winona Wallace had been a mistress.
Winona Wallace, a well-born lady, yet she chose to entangle herself with a man like William Carter.
If this matter were to be substantiated, the Wallace family’s reputation would be more tarnished than being stomped on the ground.
The Wallace family aims to become a top wealthy family in the future and definitely cannot tolerate such a blemish.
"Mrs. Wallace, this is where you’ve gone wrong. At this point, you still indulge Miss Wallace..." Lily Redington arched an eyebrow slightly, looking at Mrs. Wallace with a half-smile, a twinkle in her eyes, which suddenly curved downwards.
She smiled, remarkably beautiful, but it made Mrs. Wallace’s heart skip a beat involuntarily.
Lily: "Originally, considering that we were about to become in-laws, I didn’t want to speak frankly. But some things, if left unsaid, you won’t acknowledge, Madam... In this case, I have to show you this."
The woman’s fair and delicate hand pulled out a document from her handbag, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Mrs. Wallace.
When that document was opened, revealing the heading and the signed names.
Mrs. Wallace’s already overburdened heart felt as though an invisible hand had viciously squeezed it together.
"This is the secret agreement signed between the Wallace and Barnett families. Linda Barnett voluntarily divorces, leaves with the child, and cedes her place to Winona Wallace without appearing in front of the Carter family again. The Wallace family provides the Barnett family with fifteen million as a benefit; if the Barnett family reneges, they must pay the Wallace family five times the penalty. With this agreement, it’s believed that the Barnett family will pressure Linda Barnett into divorcing for the sake of that fifteen million.
And the Barnett family, having taken the money, cannot afford to pay the penalty five times over. Very clever, exceptionally clever tactics. But unfortunately, this agreement fell into the hands of Linda Barnett, who brought it before me. Mrs. Wallace, let’s not beat around the bush... the Reddington family is willing to pay the fivefold penalty. However, the fact that Linda Barnett is William Carter’s wife cannot be altered. Regardless of Winona Wallace’s desire to marry William Carter, it is not a justification for her to use power and wealth to destroy another’s family and become a mistress."
As these words fell, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Has the Wallace family gone mad?
William Carter, an over-fifty nouveau riche, not to mention greasy and lecherous, is old enough to be Winona Wallace’s father.
No one could understand why the Wallace family would spend fifteen million to marry Winona to William Carter, even at the cost of breaking up someone else’s family.
Outsiders have no knowledge of the truth; if this matter hadn’t been exposed by Lily, at most it would have been seen as Winona and William Carter being truly in love, ignoring his appearance and family background, choosing to marry for love.
While William Carter is lecherous, greasy, and older, at least their relationship would have been proper and legitimate, and even the online rumors could have been dismissed, not affecting the Wallace family’s reputation.
However, now, having been publicly exposed by Lily Redington, the sordid dealings behind the Wallace family’s facade can no longer be concealed.
Winona Wallace is indeed a mistress, and moreover, she is the epitome of a mistress with a unique taste for old men.
From this moment on, this title will follow Winona Wallace for life.
