Since Duke Redington has spoken, even if Mrs. Wallace and Sheila Fletcher wanted to intervene, due to Duke Redington’s presence, they could only watch helplessly as Winona Wallace pulled out her cell phone.

"Sir Duke, this is the video... it’s the teaser, on the very first day we started shooting this film, Leslie Howard took the initiative to change the script and turned a simple scene into an impassioned one."

Winona Wallace deliberately emphasized the word ’impassioned’.

With such a noble status, the Duke certainly wouldn’t like someone as insipid as Leslie Howard.

The video she showed the Duke was an edited version from netizens, removing all of her clumsy acting, leaving only the scenes between Leslie Howard and David Redington.

Originally, this was a regular video the David and Leslie fan pair used to swoon over, but Winona Wallace used it to cast a slanderous eye on Leslie Howard.

As expected, just as Winona Wallace predicted, after the Duke watched the video on her phone, his face, which was originally serious, became even more somber.

Mrs. Wallace was immediately anxious, secretly resenting Winona Wallace, who didn’t know how to prioritize the big picture, for smearing Leslie Howard in front of the Duke for some personal gain.

Did she think that by blackening Leslie Howard’s name, David would become hers?

If Mr. David Redington really fancied Winona Wallace, he would have liked her while filming together long ago.

Having long seen through human hearts, Mrs. Wallace was annoyed at her granddaughter’s short-sightedness, wishing she could find something to shut Winona Wallace up, preventing her from continuing to speak.

However, at this moment, the Duke turned his gaze to Winona Wallace: "The girl in the video is Leslie Howard?"

"Yes, that’s her, she is Leslie Howard." Winona Wallace saw Ken Redington’s face grow even darker, and her heart was suddenly elated.

She added fuel to the fire, saying, "Leslie started as a child star, perhaps staying too long in the industry, so she’s quite open, and doesn’t mind anything. Sir Duke, you shouldn’t..."

"How come she doesn’t have almond-shaped eyes?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Huh?"

Winona Wallace was slightly taken aback, dumbfounded by Duke Redington’s inexplicable question.

What’s with almond-shaped eyes, what does that have to do with anything... Leslie Howard obviously has almond-shaped eyes.

But before Winona Wallace could answer, she saw Duke Redington shaking his head: "What a pity..."

The Duke’s face didn’t look good, and he was shaking his head with a sigh, appearing displeased with Leslie Howard.

Originally bewildered by the Duke’s question, Winona Wallace suddenly saw hope.

In contrast, Mrs. Wallace and Sheila Fletcher by the side looked worried—could there be something about Leslie that the Duke doesn’t like?

Winona Wallace, inwardly delighted, quickly said: "It really is a pity, Leslie has too many scandals and her past romantic history is rather... too colorful. A girl like her paired with David might..."

"Just perfect!" Duke Redington’s serious expression suddenly vanished, and he clapped his hands.

"A girl like her is just perfect for our David. Our David has never liked to interact with outsiders since he was a child, he’s closed off and introverted in terms of emotions, and hasn’t dated in thirty-one years. Leslie is warm and passionate, exactly right for our David. Of course, the bit about not having almond-shaped eyes is indeed a pity..."

Winona Wallace: "..."

How could this happen, the Duke actually changed his demeanor so quickly?

Just a moment ago, he was still looking grave, seemingly very critical of Leslie Howard.

And the next moment he’s saying Leslie is warm and passionate, suitable for David.

Could it be that his previous seriousness and regret were just because of that almond-shaped eye thing!?
