Bruce Wallace was scolded by Mrs. Wallace mercilessly, yet he didn’t dare to talk back at all.

A portion of the Wallace family power is still in Mrs. Wallace’s hands. She is the CEO of the Wallace family; the old shareholders on the board of directors trust her.

Other uncle and brothers of the Wallace family also respect the old lady. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Furthermore, since Mr. Wallace died early, Bruce Wallace was raised and educated solely by her. He didn’t dare harbor any resentment towards his mother’s scolding.

Let alone the fact that the situation of the Wallace family is indeed not very good now.

Recently, Mr. Cooper publicly shamed them, and the Wallace family lost more than two billion due to stockholders’ protests. On top of that, Winona has been involved in a scandal lately.

Bruce Wallace even started to doubt whether the Wallace family is simply having a streak of bad luck this year, leading to one misfortune after another.

Seeing that Bruce Wallace couldn’t save himself, Winona Wallace, under the formidable presence of Mrs. Wallace, could only walk tearfully towards Sheila Fletcher.

The woman she usually looks down upon the most.

The woman who, in the Wallace family, never dared to say a harsh word to her.

Now, she, the dignified Miss Wallace, has to apologize to such a woman.

Winona Wallace’s hands were tightly clenched, even her lips were trembling.

But Mrs. Wallace’s gaze was sharp, staring at her face, those authoritative old eyes forced Winona Wallace to look at Sheila Fletcher with submission.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I’m sorry, I was too reckless and hurt you."

After saying that, two clear tears rolled down, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Sheila Fletcher acted as if she hadn’t seen it, quickly and warmly said, "It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s just a small injury, it doesn’t matter."

Bruce Wallace initially felt that Sheila Fletcher bullied his daughter, but seeing her attitude remain gentle as always and not taking advantage of Mrs. Wallace’s support to be arrogant, he grew somewhat more satisfied with Sheila Fletcher.

At least he didn’t misjudge when he married her, as Sheila Fletcher has a gentle temperament and would always yield to Winona.

"Alright, we’re all family. Since Winona has apologized and Iris said it’s not an issue... Mom, let’s just let this matter go?" Bruce Wallace quickly mediated.

Mrs. Wallace, however, was displeased and gave Bruce Wallace an annoyed look, "This matter can be dismissed, but what about the company’s issues? You’ve raised such a good daughter. Last time, she used such a huge amount of funds without conclusion, and now she’s made a scandal, tarnishing the Wallace family’s image."

Bruce Wallace: "I’ve already been working on a solution for Winona’s issue. The Carter family agreed to reconciliation.

"What’s the use of reconciliation? Even after reconciliation, outsiders will still say our Miss Wallace seduced a married man and committed adultery with an old man!"

Hearing the word ’adultery,’ Winona Wallace’s already pale face became even worse.

She couldn’t help but say, "That wasn’t adultery, I was wronged."

"You don’t need to tell me these things, you tell it to the outsiders, see how they perceive you!" Mrs. Wallace absolutely ignored her. She used to think Winona was pampered and could marry into a good family.

Now, with such a daughter at home, it’s nothing but a burden.

Mrs. Wallace could hold up a prominent family alone after Mr. Wallace’s death, she is not a simple woman.

Her tone is cold and firm, "As things have come to this point, there is only one way to protect the Wallace family. I’ve already spoken with the Carter and Barnett families. Let William Carter divorce Linda Barnett and marry Winona. Linda Barnett’s parents agreed to my terms to get their daughter out. You prepare Winona, and next month let her get married."
