The reason why Duke Redington went to the Wallace family was that last night David didn’t answer the phone.

The Duke, upon hearing the surprising news that his son was in love while abroad, couldn’t sit still and flew to Eastonia.

It should be noted that years ago, when the Duke mistakenly thought his daughter Lily was David’s rumored girlfriend, he directly sent Winston to abduct her.

After all these years, although Duke Redington has become a bit calmer and less impulsive than the first time he learned his son might be in love, his decisive style hasn’t changed.

Several calls in a row, David didn’t answer, so Mr. Ken Redington, unaware of the situation, directly called Sheila Fletcher.

Frankly, he wanted to meet with the future in-laws first.

Sheila Fletcher was worried she couldn’t find Leslie Howard and explain to Mrs. Wallace.

Upon hearing that the other party was none other than the infamous Duke Redington, she immediately agreed.

Thus, under the enthusiastic invitation of the Wallace family, Duke Redington, Ken Redington, came to the Wallace family as a distinguished guest.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the Wallace family hall, having tea with Mrs. Wallace, Bruce Wallace, and Sheila Fletcher.

Winona Wallace, as the younger generation, naturally accompanied them on one side.

Last night, she was in despair and had lost hope for the future.

This morning, upon hearing that Duke Redington would be visiting the Wallace family tonight, Winona brightened up from last night’s gloom, knowing well that this might be her last chance.

Duke Redington, born of noble heritage, naturally prefers a dignified, elegant woman for a future daughter-in-law.

Winona considers herself from a prestigious family, receiving elite education since childhood.

Compared to Leslie Howard, who only has a flashy face, Winona Wallace believes she outshines Leslie in all aspects, from background to temperament to knowledge.

Winona believes that as long as Duke Redington meets her first, he will surely be impressed by her.

By then, seeing Leslie Howard, a woman not fit for polite company, he will have a direct comparison.

Who is the wild hen, and who is the phoenix, the Duke will naturally be able to tell apart.

At this moment, seeing the noble Duke Redington, the Wallace family’s hearts were secretly filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Mrs. Wallace seemed to see the Wallace family’s future of joining the top elite through the Reddington family.

She kept saying flattering words, one after another, ’Leslie is lucky,’ ’Leslie has hit the jackpot’... 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The ingrained desire to curry favor with the Reddington family, though she tried to conceal it, couldn’t be hidden.

Ken Redington couldn’t help but frown, having a rather poor first impression of the woman’s family.

"Yes, Leslie is indeed lucky to meet such a good man as Mr. David Redington." At this moment, Winona Wallace, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

Mrs. Wallace’s brow twitched, glaring at Winona at the first opportunity.

She had a premonition that nothing good would come from Winona saying this.

Sure enough, the next moment, Winona softly said, "Leslie relied on appearances; how could she manage to attract Mr. David Redington’s attention?"

"Favorability?" Ken’s deep blue eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint passing through his cold pupils.

"Yes." Winona nodded under Mrs. Wallace’s warning gaze.

She displayed a slightly puzzled, innocent expression: "Hasn’t the Duke seen our crew’s teaser? Leslie has always been bold, with a very open manner. Perhaps this is why she ignored the plot during filming and had physical contact with Mr. David, thus catching his eye."

"Winona, shut up, don’t say another word!" Mrs. Wallace sternly stopped her.

But, it was too late.

The more she acted like this, the more Ken suspected there was a problem.

The Duke’s gaze deepened, ignoring Mrs. Wallace’s scolding, and he said to Winona, "What teaser? Let me see."
