Chapter 2496: Chapter 202: A New Marriage Arrangement
At this point, Mrs. Wallace dare not argue.
She doesn’t even have the courage to speak, fearing that uttering a wrong word might lead Mrs. Lucas to humiliate her in front of everyone.
Mrs. Wallace hurriedly claims she’s unwell, only inviting the other guests to leave.
This carefully prepared afternoon tea party by the Wallace family ended hurriedly.
Once Lily Redington was the only one left in the living room, Mrs. Wallace showed a sorrowful and pleading expression.
"Mrs. Lucas, I know... It was our Wallace family’s unreasonable demands that angered you. Please, do not take it to heart; I will surely reprimand Bruce and Winona, and definitely give your Reddington family an explanation."
Mrs. Wallace humbly pleaded.
She clearly understood that the whole trouble was caused by Bruce Wallace’s overreach, trying to use Leslie Howard and David Redington’s marriage as leverage against the Reddington family.
Oh, how foolish her son is!
Does he still think that the current Leslie Howard is the same as before?
Moreover, the real leverage was not Leslie Howard, but David Redington and the Reddington family!
The more she once cherished Bruce, the more she resented him at this moment.
The Wallace family doesn’t only have Bruce as the one to inherit the family business.
Xavier Wallace can also succeed in the future, and Xavier is the half-brother of Leslie Howard. After Leslie marries David, David becomes Xavier’s brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wallace felt more determined.
She said to Lily Redington: "This issue was Bruce’s fault, Mrs. Lucas, I will retract Bruce’s position as CEO of the Wallace Group and hand it over to Xavier. Of course, Xavier is still young, and as his grandmother, I will guide him. Rest assured, our Wallace family will never again do anything to trouble your family."
Any threats against the Carter family or Winona Wallace being a mistress are trivial matters.
The root issue is that the Reddington family must feel appeased and satisfied.
The Wallace family is not strong enough to contend with the Reddington family; it would be futile.
Mrs. Wallace understands the need for patience. She would seize the opportunity to align with the Reddington family, and in time, in time... the Wallace family will one day put the Reddington family underfoot.
Lily Redington sat comfortably on the sofa, observing how Mrs. Wallace’s dim and cloudy eyes surged with treacherous and scheming emotions.
This kind of gaze filled with greed and calculation she had seen too many times.
There were times she spotted shadows of Madam Gray and Rowena Gray in the old lady’s eyes.
Indeed, all villains are the same.
With a slight smile, Lily spoke leisurely: "No need, this is your Wallace family affair; I’m not interested in your family’s internal matters. But the sentence I mentioned earlier, I wonder if Mrs. Wallace still remembers?"
"Which... sentence?" Mrs. Wallace suddenly felt a sense of unease from the bottom of her heart.
"About letting Winona Wallace marry someone else. Since Mr. Wallace wants to borrow our Reddington family’s reputation to arrange another suitable marriage for Winona Wallace, my father thinks that as we’re about to become family, we naturally should help with this."
Abandoning her initial anger, Lily smiled even more beautifully, her enchanting eyes glowing brightly.
"How about the Nelson family? The Nelsons of C City, a century-old family, exceptionally distinguished. They’ll suit Miss Wallace, and she shall not suffer any grievance."
"The, the Nelson family!" Mrs. Wallace’s originally dull eyes instantly brightened.
"Truly, truly able to marry into the Nelson family?"
