Chapter 2436: Chapter 142: Andrew Howard Wouldn’t Let His Daughter Dirty Her Hands Over Leslie Howard

"Leslie, I’m at the coffee shop on the first floor of the Reddington Hotel now. Come over and have something to eat with me and chat a bit."

As soon as the call connected, Sheila Fletcher spoke with an air of entitlement.

Leslie Howard found it amusing.

What was there to talk about between the mother and daughter? Why could her mother always use such a presumptuous tone in her calls?

"I’m busy," Leslie Howard was about to hang up.

"Wait, Leslie, it’s been a long time since I saw you. Xavier also said he misses his sister... don’t you miss him?"

Sheila Fletcher was indeed Leslie Howard’s mother, truly had her daughter tightly in her grip.

Leslie Howard really wanted to say she didn’t.

But upon hearing Sheila Fletcher’s words, thinking of that soft little bun, her half-brother Xavier’s tender face appeared before her eyes.

The whole Wallace family, including Sheila Fletcher, the only one who was good to her was her brother.

"Xavier just happened to be brought over from his grandma’s place these days, he said he wants to see you. Now I’m with him in the coffee shop having dessert, please come over quickly."

After Sheila Fletcher finished speaking, she hung up the phone, giving Leslie Howard no chance to refuse.

Because she knew, Leslie Howard wouldn’t refuse.

Yes, she wouldn’t refuse.

Looking at the hung-up cell phone, Leslie Howard was somewhat dazed.

She didn’t want to see Sheila Fletcher. There was nothing left to say between the mother and daughter, but that little bun with a baby voice always maintained her brother... she really missed him.

Meanwhile, in the suite on the 23rd Floor of Reddington Hotel, under the surveillance of Bruce Wallace, Sheila Fletcher hung up the phone. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Alright, Leslie will definitely come over soon."

Bruce Wallace nodded, hesitated briefly, but still offered a few words of comfort: "Hmm, getting this done is good for Leslie too. Although Mr. Carter is older, his family runs a coal mine, they have money. If Leslie goes with him, she won’t have a hard life in the future."

Sheila Fletcher felt a trace of mockery in her heart.

Such a good match, how come Bruce Wallace didn’t introduce him to Winona Wallace, ultimately it’s just bullying her Leslie.

But before the big plan succeeded, Sheila Fletcher still appeared deeply in love with Bruce Wallace.

She nodded, "I know, you have always been good to Leslie and me, that girl Leslie messed up big time, it’s great she can marry a rich man and not have to worry about food and clothes in the future."

Seeing Sheila Fletcher being sensible, Bruce Wallace was satisfied and said, "Exactly, but in the future, you need to keep a close eye on Xavier and let him have less contact with Leslie. Our Wallace family’s children should always be more noble. Leslie wasn’t raised well when she was young, to prevent her from leading Xavier astray."

"..." Sheila Fletcher nodded.

"Alright, I’ll be leaving first, everything else is already arranged. By then, you just have to let Leslie drink the spiked drink, and someone else will take care of the rest."

This was originally Winona Wallace’s plan, to firmly nail Leslie Howard.

She knew Mr. Carter’s wife was a wicked woman, jealous.

And Mr. Carter liked fooling around with young models and rising stars outside.

So Winona Wallace intentionally had someone approach Mr. Carter, telling him he had a chance to play with Leslie Howard.

Although tempted, Mr. Carter was a businessman, cautious that Leslie Howard was Bruce Wallace’s stepdaughter.

Therefore, to curry favor with Bruce Wallace, Mr. Carter actually took the initiative to approach, wanting to do Bruce Wallace a favor, telling him someone was messing with his stepdaughter.

Thus, Bruce Wallace knew about Winona Wallace’s plan.

Upon learning that his daughter was actually doing such a dirty thing, Bruce Wallace was not angry.

Instead, he was unhappy that mere Leslie Howard made his precious daughter dirty her hands.

So, after preparing for two days, Bruce Wallace personally arranged it, even agreed with Mr. Carter to help him get a divorce after the matter was settled, and to have him marry Leslie Howard promptly.
