MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 7 - Season 10 Episode 22

With a sullen face, Felix rebuked, “According to the family rules, you should be expelled from the family for attempting to kill a Howard. But I just removed you as the successor. I’m being very generous to you!”

Samuel immediately felt a wave of despair.

He knew that his father, Felix, had always been an extremely authoritative person who would never go back on his word. Since he publicly said that he would remove him as the successor, he definitely wouldn’t withdraw his decision.

Samuel was extremely indignant. He had finally convinced his father to step down from the position of helmsman, and he was only a step away from becoming the helmsman. Yet everything was going to go up in smoke!

But no matter how indignant he was, there was no way he could refute his father’s decision.

After all, his father was now the person in charge of the Howards, not him!

In the hall, many people looked at Samuel with sympathy in their eyes.

Originally, if nothing went wrong, Samuel would have become the next helmsman of the Howards. But now, he had been removed from his position, and the matter would definitely spread throughout DC tomorrow. Samuel would become a laughing stock of DC.

Ezra, at the side, hung his head low. Those who didn’t know might think that he was showing respect to Felix, but only Ezra knew that he was overjoyed. If he didn’t keep his head down at this moment, he would probably be unable to hold his laughter in!

Hahaha, Samuel actually got removed from his position as successor because he tried to kill Lucas! What a great surprise!

Now that Samuel had lost his position as successor, it meant that Ezra had a great chance of becoming the next successor!

The progress of things was great!

But despite such a twist in events, Lucas’s expression barely changed.

Regardless of whether Samuel was removed from the position of successor or who would become the next successor, Lucas wasn’t interested at all.

At this moment, Felix glanced at Lucas and sized him up with a sharp and shrewd gaze. “Are you Lucas Gray?”

Lucas met Felix’s eyes fearlessly and said calmly, “Yes.”

This person in front of him was Florence’s father, the helmsman of the Howards and the person who had ordered Cheyenne’s father to be killed.

Although he now seemed righteous and dignified and appeared to issue rewards or punishments where they were due, Lucas knew that he was probably so cold and heartless that he didn’t even care about his biological children.

Lucas’s indifference clearly upset Felix, who frowned immediately.

As the head of the Howards, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, and someone of great reputation, he had always been the subject of flattery and fawning gazes of others wherever he went.

But Lucas didn’t have the slightest trace of respect in his eyes when looking at him. In fact, he even seemed distant and cold.

It made him extremely displeased.

Seeing that something was amiss, Florence hurriedly shot Lucas a few glances, asking him to be more respectful toward Felix.

But Lucas acted as if he didn’t see it, and the expression on his face didn’t change in the slightest.

Felix narrowed his eyes. “Boy, you seem to have something against me.”

Lucas smiled faintly. “I didn’t even know you before this. Why would I have something against you?”

“Hah, boy, you’re indeed very arrogant!” Felix sneered. “I know you have powerful forces in California and Oregon, but they’re nothing in DC! Do you think you’re qualified to be arrogant in front of me?”

Lucas’s indifference and arrogance made Felix extremely displeased.

When he found out that the husband of Florence’s illegitimate daughter was actually the ruler of California and Oregon just a short while ago, he was immediately interested in Lucas because it meant that the Howards were about to gain great help.

Thus, he had been looking forward to seeing Lucas, and he had even punished his son Samuel, who was about to harm Lucas.

But now, he had only spoken a few sentences with Lucas before realizing that this young man wasn’t like what he had imagined at all. He seemed to be very difficult to control.

A person who couldn’t be controlled wouldn’t be of any help to the Howards. In that case, Felix would have to consider how he treated Lucas in the future.

Lucas smiled. “The power I control is indeed not worth mentioning. You don’t have to speak to a small fry like me, Mr. Howard.”

“Lucas! Mind your words! How can you talk to my father like that?!” Florence quickly reprimanded.

Over the years, Florence had always been keeping her guard up and behaving cautiously to gain more authority within the Howard family and avenge her late lover. She didn’t even dare to disobey Felix, for fear of angering him.

But Lucas was actually so rude to Felix, making Florence’s heart skip a beat.

She didn’t want her hard-earned position within the Howard family to be ruined by Lucas, her son-in-law!

Lucas glanced at Florence, knowing what she was worried about. But he couldn’t be bothered.

Logically speaking, he barely had anything to do with the Howards. If it wasn’t for Cheyenne, he wouldn’t have attended the birthday banquet at all.

“Since I’m not welcome here, I’ll leave.” Then he strode toward the exit without any delay.

“Hold it!” Felix hollered.

Before he finished saying his piece, Lucas was already walking away. He showed no respect toward him!

Lucas stopped, turned around, and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

“Punk, I’m Cheyenne Howard’s grandfather, which means I’m your grandfather too. Don’t you know that you have to greet me?” Felix stared at Lucas with a gloomy expression.

Cheyenne Howard? Lucas froze for a moment before realizing that Felix was referring to his wife, Cheyenne.

Lucas sneered and said coldly, “My wife’s name is Cheyenne Carter, not Cheyenne Howard!

“Besides, you want me to greet you? Sorry, but you don’t have the qualifications!”

Lucas’s words caused the hall to fall dead silent!
