"No, it can't be, there must be a misunderstanding here. William Carter and his wife have long since lost their feelings for each other and are already in the process of divorce. Our Winona is not a mistress, the Wallace family is a reputable family, and would never condone such indulgence or bullying... Mrs. Lucas, there must be some mistake here."
Mrs. Wallace's face was almost ashen, but she could only straighten her back, swallowing her grievances in silence.
She was crystal clear in her mind; at this moment, even if it was an uphill battle, she couldn't admit that Winona Wallace had been a mistress.
Winona Wallace, a well-born lady, yet she chose to entangle herself with a man like William Carter.
If this matter were to be substantiated, the Wallace family's reputation would be more tarnished than being stomped on the ground.
The Wallace family aims to become a top wealthy family in the future and definitely cannot tolerate such a blemish.
