Mrs. Wallace’s words, that’s what we’ve been waiting for here.
Sheila Fletcher’s eyes flashed a hint of mockery, but her face remained calm and composed, nodding gently: "Mom, rest assured, I’ll call Leslie later. She’ll be very happy once she knows."
"It’s good that she’s sensible. I’ll leave this matter to you. Also, let her know that coming back isn’t just for dinner; it’s also to signify that she should engage more with the family from now on. During this visit, we can discuss finding a ti to add Leslie’s na to the family tree. She’s been with the Wallace family for so many years; it’s about ti to change her surna to Wallace."
"What, Mom... you want Leslie to change her surna to Wallace? This, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate, isn’t it?" Bruce Wallace couldn’t hold back and asked.
As the CEO of the Wallace Group, Bruce Wallace certainly understood why Mrs. Wallace, who didn’t take Leslie Howard seriously before, had such a significant change.
This is because of David Redington, Leslie Howard has beco involved with the heir of the Redington family.
For the sake of the entire Wallace family, Mrs. Wallace would definitely change her attitude towards Leslie Howard, shifting from forr indifference to now drawing her in and valuing her.
But even so, there’s no need to add Leslie Howard to the family tree or change her surna to Wallace.
If so, isn’t it to replace Winona?!
"What’s inappropriate? Leslie is now so outstanding; it’s the result of our Wallace family’s years of nurturing. Although she’s not the blood of the Wallace family, we’ve always treated her like one of our own. In the past, we were concerned that she was too young, immature, and might resist the surna change. Now she’s grown up and understands our good intentions..."
At this point, Mrs. Wallace deliberately glanced at Sheila Fletcher: "You’re Leslie’s biological mother; you should think more for her. If she changes her surna to Wallace, she’ll be seen as coming from a prominent family. When discussing marriage with Mr. Redington, as our Wallace family daughter, naturally she’ll have a better impression with future in-laws. Among these prominent families, social status matters; of course, after she changes her surna, as her grandmother, I’ll naturally speak on her behalf and prepare a substantial dowry."
The aning behind Mrs. Wallace’s words was quite clear.
Leslie Howard, after all, cos from too humble a background.
Mr. Howard was rely an ordinary person, and her surna Howard doesn’t add any rit to her, perhaps even detracts.
But the Wallace family is different.
The Wallace family is prominent, a new elite in A City. If Leslie Howard changes her surna to Wallace, then in front of Duke Redington and the Duchess, she will be Miss Wallace.
She would be Laura Wallace, and naturally, Mrs. Wallace would speak for her, giving her more confidence when discussing marriage in the future.
Sheila Fletcher seed to clearly understand Mrs. Wallace’s intentions, nodding repeatedly in agreent.
Seeing Sheila Fletcher so in tune, Mrs. Wallace was quite satisfied.
"Alright, then everyone should get back to their tasks. I’ll be staying here these days. Bruce, settle the marriage arrangents with the Carter family for Winona as soon as possible. Iris, contact Leslie as soon as you can and tell her everything I just ntioned. I believe Leslie is smart enough to understand my intentions as her grandmother. I’m tired now, I’ll go to my room to rest."
After saying this, Mrs. Wallace got up, having her trusted aide Mrs. Hamilton assist her upstairs.
Unexpectedly, just as she got up, a voice behind her lanting with anger and twisted grievance ca— "Grandma, are you going to abandon by changing Leslie’s surna to Wallace?"
