MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 9 Episode 99

As soon Collin’s words came out, everyone in the conference room was taken aback!

No one expected that he would ask to replace the family’s successor at this time.

Jace, who was asked to be removed as successor, stood up with an icy expression and glowered at Collin. “Uncle Collin! The Huttons are facing a crisis right now, yet you’re thinking of removing me as the successor. Isn’t your request too out of line? Are you that eager to take away my position?”

Collin snorted coldly but didn’t deny it. “Yes! Let’s not mention that you’re suspected of killing my wife and son. You just said that the Huttons are facing a crisis, right? The reason we’re suddenly facing a crisis is because someone is targeting you. This is the trouble you’ve caused.

“In that case, what’s wrong with my request to remove you as the successor?” Collin argued with reason.

Jace flew into a rage. “Uncle Collin! I still respect you and address you as my uncle, but is there something wrong with your brain? The fact that I’m being targeted means I’m a victim! Who are you to ask to remove me as the successor? Think about it carefully!”

He spoke to Collin rudely because of his anger.

“Enough! Jace, shut up!” Michael roared, interrupting Jace.

He looked straight at his brother and suddenly said, “Okay, I agree to your request to remove Jace as successor!”

As soon as he said this, all the Huttons in the conference room were dumbstruck.

Even Collin was stunned.

Indeed, he wanted to force Michael to remove Jace as successor, but he didn’t expect him to agree so easily.

Jace was stunned for a few seconds before snapping back to his senses and hollering in fury, “Dad! What are you saying? Why do you want to remove me from my position? I didn’t do anything wrong!

“You all know that these attacks on the Huttons are obviously a conspiracy targeting me. Maybe their purpose is to remove me from my position as the successor! In that case, do you want us, your family, to feel disappointed while outsiders get what they want?

“Okay, I’m being targeted, but you want to punish me. What happens if it’s another member of the family getting targeted next time? Are you going to punish that person for bringing trouble to the family?

“What if their next target is my father, the helmsman? Will you be forced to step down too?”

Jace was extremely indignant as he shouted a lot of things in anger.

“I told you to shut up!” Michael smacked the table.

“…” Jace felt extremely aggrieved and indignant. But seeing his father lose his temper, he realized that if he talked back to him in front of so many family members, his father would probably be even angrier and might get the bodyguards to take him away.

When the time came, he would be in an even more passive position.

So no matter how unwilling he was, he could only grit his teeth and keep his mouth shut.

Michael took a deep breath, looked at Collin, and said calmly, “Okay, now that Jace has been removed as successor, it’s time for us to start discussing how to resolve the family’s crisis.”

“Not yet! Although Jace has been removed from his position, he can be reinstated at any time. So we must appoint a new successor!” Collin said firmly.

After all, Michael was the current helmsman of the family and Jace’s father. Just removing Jace from his position wasn’t enough.

Collin wanted to decide on the new successor immediately.

Michael clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and asked with a frown, “Who do you think should be the new successor?”

Collin suddenly smiled. “Come in!”

The door of the conference room was pushed open from outside, and a smartly-dressed young man appeared at the door.

It was Roman, Collin’s illegitimate son!

But Roman no longer looked like a slovenly playboy.

His hair, which was originally long enough to tie a braid, was now short and neat, making him look energetic. His fitting and upscale suit, coupled with the good looks he inherited from his parents, made him look just like a dashing gentleman when he appeared at the door of the conference room.

“Who is this person?”

“I don’t know. Is he from our family?”

“His features resemble us. But he’s not a Hutton! Why did Collin ask him to come in?”

…

Everyone in the conference room was surprised by Roman’s sudden appearance.

Moreover, although Roman had lived with the Huttons for a few years during his childhood, he was only a child back then. And due to his identity as an illegitimate son, he had been despised by most of the Huttons. No one had taken him seriously.

Moreover, it had happened more than 20 years ago, and Roman had turned from a child to a young man in his thirties. His looks were drastically different, so no one recognized him.

“Hello, my dear uncles. I am Roman. It’s been a while.” Roman politely greeted everyone in the conference room.

He had not only called them uncles but also revealed his name, immediately making many people recall his identity. They couldn’t suppress their shock at all.

Wasn’t this person Collin’s illegitimate son?

Wasn’t he already kicked out of the Huttons and had his last name changed?

Why did he show up here?

What was going on here?!

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, puzzled and curious about Collin and Roman’s goal.

Collin called Roman to his side and said, “Yes, he’s my other son, Roman. He’s now the chairman of World Entertainment City in DC.

“I think that Roman is fully eligible to become the next successor of the family!”

Everyone else in the conference room widened their eyes in astonishment.

What was he saying?!
