At this point, Mrs. Wallace dare not argue.
She doesn't even have the courage to speak, fearing that uttering a wrong word might lead Mrs. Lucas to humiliate her in front of everyone.
Mrs. Wallace hurriedly claims she's unwell, only inviting the other guests to leave.
This carefully prepared afternoon tea party by the Wallace family ended hurriedly.
Once Lily Redington was the only one left in the living room, Mrs. Wallace showed a sorrowful and pleading expression.
"Mrs. Lucas, I know… It was our Wallace family's unreasonable demands that angered you. Please, do not take it to heart; I will surely reprimand Bruce and Winona, and definitely give your Reddington family an explanation."
Mrs. Wallace humbly pleaded.
She clearly understood that the whole trouble was caused by Bruce Wallace's overreach, trying to use Leslie Howard and David Redington's marriage as leverage against the Reddington family.
Oh, how foolish her son is!
