"As everyone knows, my wife Leslie's last name is Howard, full name Leslie Howard. The Howard family is just an ordinary family in A City, incomparable to her stepfather Bruce Wallace's family. However, all these years, Leslie has never thought of changing her name, not only because she doesn't want to forget her roots but also because the Wallace family isn't worth her adopting its surname."
"Today, in front of everyone here, especially those guests invited by the Wallace family, let me make a statement. I, Cesare Redington, hereby announce that the Reddington family has no association with the Wallace family. If anyone in the future uses the name of the Reddington family to swagger outside, the Reddington family will hold them accountable."
This is why David Redington deliberately let the Wallace family handle the wedding banquet and have them invite guests.
The guests of the Wallace family are strangers to the Reddingtons.
