MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 42

He and Cheyenne had come a long way and had gone through many twists and turns before finally reaching the current stage of their relationship. They were now deeply in love with each other. How could Lucas possibly end their relationship because of a woman who suddenly appeared and claimed to be Cheyenne’s biological mother?

If the woman facing him wasn’t actually Cheyenne’s biological mother, Lucas would have fallen out with her just after hearing what she said.

Florence sneered, clearly displeased with Lucas’s ignorant rejection. “Hah, your marriage with my daughter was originally a mistake from the very beginning!

“You’re just an abandoned descendant kicked out by the Huttons. You’ll never be allowed to return to DC in your life. Even until you die, you will live in poverty, and you’ll never make any outstanding achievements or make a name for yourself!

“But my daughter is different from you. She’s my flesh and blood, and she’ll definitely come home with me to the Howards’. When the time comes, she’ll be my family’s princess. Her status is very noble, and she’s not someone you can cozy up to!

“She still has a bright future and a promising life. Being with you will only hamper her and waste her life!

“If you still spare a thought for her, you’d better quickly leave her and let her be free. Don’t hold her back! Otherwise… with the Howards’ power and status, you’ll die easily!”

Florence sounded extremely self-righteous, and in particular, she used her family’s power to threaten Lucas.

Lucas naturally wouldn’t accept her threat. But deep down, his impression of Cheyenne’s mother, who had suddenly popped up out of nowhere, became much worse.

“You’re a woman yourself. Do you think a woman’s happiness only depends on whether her husband’s family is compatible with hers and whether he’s wealthy and powerful enough? Do you not consider the happiness of your daughter?

“Frankly speaking, a mother like you really disappoints me.

“I might as well tell you this. No matter what you really think, the only person who can give Cheyenne happiness is me, so I will never give her up. I won’t let people like you make arrangements for her life!

“If you insist on destroying our family and disturbing our life, I don’t mind eradicating the Howards!”

Lucas’s eyes were full of gloominess, but he sounded very serious.

If Florence and the Howards were determined to interfere with his and Cheyenne’s lives, he would definitely eradicate the entire Howard family!

Seeing the determination in Lucas’s eyes, Florence was shocked. This young man is serious!

As this thought flashed in her mind, her heart trembled, and she felt a great sense of oppression coming from Lucas. She had rarely felt this before, and it even caused a sense of fear within her.

But she soon came to her senses and was infuriated.

Lucas actually threatened her, a member of the esteemed Howard family!

“Young man, do you know what you’re saying? Even your father, Michael Hutton, wouldn’t dare to speak like that in front of me. You’re so young, but you’re terribly arrogant!

“I’ve had someone investigate your situation. You used to live in poverty, and you were just a broke and worthless pauper. If not for the fact that someone had deliberately tried to humiliate Cheyenne by getting her to marry a lowly scumbag, do you think you would have been able to become a live-in husband?

“Now, although the Huttons have given you your mother’s former company, the Stardust Corporation, you only control a tiny branch in Orange County. The headquarters of the Stardust Corporation is still under the firm control of the Huttons. What can you get from it?

“Furthermore, you disappeared for six years without saying goodbye soon after you married my daughter and only returned to Orange County half a year ago. How strong can your relationship with my daughter be?

“So, don’t talk to me about happiness. How deep is your relationship with my daughter? What kind of happiness can you bring her with your conditions? You’re just paying lip service to me!”

Florence retorted angrily and undermined him to the point that he seemed worthless.

Of course, in the eyes of a Howard from DC, the Orange County branch of the Stardust Corporation was indeed not worth mentioning at all.

Lucas didn’t get angry because of this and instead said with a calm gaze in his eyes, “Yes, it’s true that Cheyenne and I haven’t spent much time together. However, the strength of a relationship isn’t something that can be measured by time but lies in the heart.

“You’ve never been by Cheyenne’s side for a single day of her life or even said a word to her. You’ve never understood her life, and you know even less about her relationships. On what grounds are you concluding that there are no strong feelings between us?

“Moreover, do you know Cheyenne’s likes and dislikes? Do you know what she thinks? Do you know what kind of life she lived in the past and what she has experienced? You don’t know anything about her, yet you want to make arrangements for her life just because you’re her biological mother. You even claim that you’re doing it for her happiness. How ridiculous!

“In fact, you didn’t even speak to Cheyenne before coming to me to say all of this. Have you ever spoken to her or asked her for her opinion? Have you respected her wishes?

“What rights does someone like you, who knows nothing about her and has no regard for her wishes, have to interfere with her life?”

Lucas was extremely hostile and sharp-tongued, almost not giving Florence any respect at all.

In his opinion, Florence had only given Cheyenne life, but she hadn’t raised her a single day of her life. She didn’t deserve to be called a mother at all.

Lucas didn’t know how Florence, the esteemed heiress of the Howards, one of the eight top families of DC, could bear to let her own daughter be stranded outside for so many years without showing her any concern. He didn’t know if there were any hidden reasons.

But if Florence really wanted to act like Cheyenne’s mother, she should have looked for Cheyenne to make up for the lack of concern that she had shown her and for the familial love that they had missed in the past decades instead of treating Cheyenne like her property and making presumptuous decisions for her future self-righteously.

Lucas wouldn’t recognize this woman to be Cheyenne’s mother at all!

“You!” Florence was so enraged by Lucas’s merciless words that she could barely speak.

For many years, no one had ever dared to speak so rudely in front of her, especially when the other party was the punk she thought wasn’t worthy of her daughter and had even taken advantage of the latter.

“Don’t put on airs or show your arrogance as a member of one of the eight top families of DC in front of me. You’re nothing to me!” Lucas said coldly and then stopped looking at Florence, who was shaking with anger.

He opened the car door and stepped out to leave.

“Hold it!” The bodyguard wearing sunglasses, who had been guarding outside the car door, immediately yelled and stopped in front of Lucas when he noticed that Florence didn’t seem happy.
