Chapter 928: You’ll Be the Helmsman

Florence was the only Howard who had an inseparable relationship with Lucas, so she could only bite the bullet and rebuke him.

Lucas put the glass in his hand on the table and swept his gaze across the Howards. “First of all, he’s not my subordinate. He’s my brother!

“And it was you Howards who rushed over and threatened my brother first. Isn’t this why he killed him?

“You can’t be so unreasonable as to allow your subordinates to kill my brother but now allow him to fight back.

“Besides, before he took action, he asked Mr. Howard for his opinion. Since Mr. Howard didn’t voice his objection, it means he consented. In that case, how is it reasonable for you to accuse my brother?

“Not to mention making my brother kneel down and beg for forgiveness, what did he do wrong?”

Lucas spoke calmly while glancing at the surrounding Howards.

All the Howards whom Lucas’s eyes swept past turned away, not daring to make eye contact with him.

Although Lucas wasn’t angry, his aura wasn’t inferior to that of Felix, the head of the Howards. In fact, it was even more terrifying than Felix’s!

Florence was speechless for a while, completely at a loss for words.

In front of Lucas, she had never been able to be domineering.

But Florence also knew very well in her heart that if it wasn’t for Cheyenne’s sake, Lucas wouldn’t have bothered with the Howards at all or even come to their place.

Still, no matter what, since Lucas had already come to the Howard residence and even openly killed one of them, causing Felix to be displeased, she had to say something.

Caught between the Howards and Lucas, Florence was in a dilemma. She gritted her teeth and started speaking.

”Lucas, I know you don’t consider the Howards your relatives, but I’m Cheyenne’s biological mother no matter what, and my father is her grandfather. This makes you his grandson-in-law. These are blood ties that you must acknowledge!

“Just now, my father only proposed bringing Cheyenne back so that he could meet her. He didn’t mention any other excessive demands, did he? But it’s an indisputable fact that your subordinate killed his bodyguard!

“Even if you have a problem with the Howards, you shouldn’t speak so rudely and contradict your elders like that for Cheyenne’s sake.”

In fact, she didn’t want to say this at all, especially when she was advising Lucas to respect Felix. She herself was unwilling to do so, and she knew that Lucas was even more unwilling.

But Lucas was her son-in-law no matter what. If she didn’t come forward to resolve that matter, Felix would definitely dislike her, and she probably wouldn’t be able to take control of the family in the future.

Florence was sure that Lucas wouldn’t do anything to her for Cheyenne’s sake, and only then did she dare to say those words.

Lucas glanced at Florence calmly, immediately causing her to feel as if she had plunged into cold ice. She instantly sobered.

Lucas was telling her with his eyes that she meant nothing to him. If it wasn’t because of Cheyenne, he wouldn’t even allow her to continue living!

Florence shuddered involuntarily before finally closing her eyes.

At this moment, Lucas turned to look at Felix and said indifferently, “I can choose not to hold it against the Howards on Cheyenne’s behalf, and I can pretend that nothing happened today.

“But if you don’t give in and insist on doing something to make me obey, I don’t mind telling you straight that you can’t bear the consequences of doing so!

“I’ve said my piece.”

Lucas stood up, exuding a domineering aura while standing proudly in the hall.

“Young man, you’re indeed very arrogant! I’ve lived to such an old age, and you’re the most arrogant young person I’ve ever met!” Felix stared intently at Lucas.

But there was no longer any pressure or murderous intent in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation.

Unfortunately, Lucas didn’t care about Felix’s attitude toward him. Be it hatred or appreciation, it had nothing to do with him.

“Whatever you think. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.” Lucas smirked and then turned around to leave.

He really didn’t have anything to say to the Howards.

“Wait a minute!” Felix’s old and majestic voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Lucas Gray, as long as you agree to bring my granddaughter back to us, I can hand over the position of helmsman to you!” Felix’s voice resounded clearly throughout the hall.

At this moment, all the Howards in the hall widened their eyes in disbelief!

What?

What did they just hear?

The helmsman actually said that he would hand over his position to this young man in front of them?!

Everyone began to suspect if they had auditory hallucinations or if there was something wrong with their ears.

How was this possible?!

Even Lucas seemed extremely surprised. He stopped and looked at Felix in shock.

Did he hear him right?

Did Felix actually say that he wanted to pass the position of the Howards’ helmsman to an outsider like him?

Even though Lucas wasn’t from DC, nor did he grow up in a wealthy family, he knew that ordinary wealthy families treated bloodline inheritances very seriously, what more a family like the Howards.

But Felix actually said that as long as Lucas was willing to take Cheyenne back to the Howards, he would hand him the position of helmsman.

Lucas looked at Felix doubtfully.

“However, you will have to change your last name and officially become a Howard!” Felix added while looking into Lucas’s eyes.

Lucas sneered when he realized what his plan was.

But before Lucas could say anything, someone in the hall immediately exclaimed in agitation, “Father! How can you hand the family over to an outsider? Even if he changes his last name, he still isn’t a Howard by blood. How can he be the helmsman?”

The person who spoke was Samuel!

He stared straight at Lucas’s face with anger and indignation.

Originally, Samuel should have been the top candidate for being the helmsman of the Howards. If Lucas hadn’t appeared, he might have already taken this position!

However, Lucas had not only caused him to lose his position as successor, but Felix even planned to appoint him as the next helmsman. No matter what, Samuel couldn’t accept it!

He was now full of hatred toward Lucas, and he wished he could immediately make him vanish from this world forever!
