The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 949

Chapter 949 - You'll Be Helmsman

Lucas’s eyes were full of intimidation, making Felix and the twin experts beside him too scared to act rashly.

They all knew that there was no way they could inform their man to leave since Lucas was right in front of them. So they could only grit their teeth and keep quiet.

Lucas stopped paying attention to them and suddenly looked at Florence next to him. He asked softly, “Do you still want to be the helmsman of the Howards?”

As soon as he said this, all of the Howards, including Florence and Felix, were dumbfounded.

They would have never thought that Lucas would suddenly ask Florence this.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Florence quickly understood Lucas’s intentions.

Indeed, in the last ten years or so, she had always wanted to become the head of the Howards.

But after Felix had ruthlessly revealed how he had only used the position of helmsman as bait to lure her into doing things, it made her now feel nothing for him as her father.

Besides, the Howards had just watched Hades almost strangle her to death, but no one had been willing to come forward to help her. They made Florence lose almost all her familial affection for the Howards.

It could be said that Florence no longer had any feelings for the Howards, and she had finally stopped obsessing over the position of family helmsman, which she had longed for for countless years.

After nearly experiencing death, she finally realized that power and status were only superficial. What she had to do now was to live well and treat her daughter, Cheyenne, well to make up for the love she lacked for the last two decades or so.

But now that Lucas had suddenly asked her if she was still interested in becoming the Howards’ helmsman, he clearly had some ideas.

Felix quickly realized what Lucas’s motive was. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted at Florence, “Rebellious girl, if you dare to covet the position of helmsman, the Howards won’t let you off!”

Florence sneered with contempt. “You don’t even want to acknowledge me, your worthless daughter. You even wanted to sacrifice my life for the safety of the family. What’s wrong even if I want to become the helmsman of the Howards?

“You’re not the only person who can take this position. So what if I’m interested? Do you still want to stop me?

“Besides, whether or not I become the Howards’ helmsman is not up to you!”

Florence sneered before turning to look at Lucas.

Now, the person who called the shots among the Howards was no longer Felix but Lucas!

Florence honestly no longer treated Felix as her father. All she felt for him now was complicated hatred.

Her father had killed the love of her life, causing her life to become a tragedy, and was so cold and ruthless toward her. In his eyes, she was just a pawn that he could use.

Once she was no longer of any use value, Felix wouldn’t bother taking another look at her.

If Lucas hadn’t arrived just now, she would have really been killed by Hades.

Furthermore, there probably wouldn’t be a single Howard who would shed a tear for her!

Why should she care about the feelings of such a cold-blooded and heartless family?

She had already been on the brink of death, so there was nothing left to fear now.

Even facing her father, Florence was no longer as cautious as she was before. Instead, she had now developed a backbone and would no longer let him manipulate and threaten her.

Felix was so enraged by Florence’s attitude that even his fingers trembled.

“Very well! I didn’t raise you to this age for you to anger me!

“You think you can be all smug and arrogant in front of me now that you have your son-in-law to back you up, huh? But don’t forget. He has already offended the Peerless Martial Association. If he dies someday, let’s see what you can do!”

Florence sneered, “So what? If Lucas hadn’t saved me earlier, I would already be dead now. Every minute and every second of my life is already a blessing! Do you think I’m still afraid of death?

“Even if I die because of Lucas, I’d do so willingly!

“Besides, Lucas may not necessarily lose to the Peerless Martial Association! The scene you want to see might not happen!”

Florence really didn’t care about such threats anymore.

She even felt a sense of transcendence that was beyond life and death.

Lucas glanced at Florence in surprise.

Although he had indeed saved Florence from Hades, he honestly didn’t do so because he appreciated her or cared about her. He simply didn’t want her death to upset Cheyenne.

After rescuing her, he stopped paying attention to her.

But he was truly surprised by what she said and couldn’t help changing his impression of her slightly.

After saying her piece, Florence immediately looked at Lucas and said seriously, “Lucas, if you think that it would be better for me to be the head of the Howards, I’m definitely willing to take over!”

Lucas looked at her and nodded. “Okay. From now on, you will be the new helmsman of the Howards!”

The two of them decided on who would become the helmsman just like that, as if there wasn’t anyone else around. Felix, the current head of the family whose presence was completely disregarded, flew into a rage.

“What nonsense are you talking about here? I’m the only one who can decide who becomes the head of the family! Neither of you are in any place to interfere!” Felix shouted angrily.

At the side, Ezra stepped forward with a sneer and mocked, “Lucas Gray, this is my family! As an outsider, you’re in no place to meddle with our family’s affairs!

“If you insist on doing so, I’ll take that you’ve decided to make us your enemy!

“Grandpa, Lucas Gray is very ambitious. He’s probably been coveting your position for a long time. Both he and Florence should be punished!”

Lucas was undoubtedly the person Ezra hated the most at the moment.

As long as Lucas didn’t die, he would Florence become the head of the family.

Ezra felt that this position could only belong to him, and no one could take it away from him!

So no matter what, Lucas had to die!

Samuel gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, “Yes! It’s up to us to decide who becomes the next helmsman! My father and the Howards should have the final say, not an outsider like you!”

He also desperately wanted to become the helmsman, so he obviously wouldn’t be willing to let Florence take over.

The rest of the Howards looked at each other without saying anything.

No matter who became the helmsman, it didn’t have much to do with them, so there wasn’t a need for them to take sides now and offend people.

Furthermore, the powerful combat strength Lucas and Jordan had shown earlier terrified them, so they didn’t dare to accuse Lucas or fault him for his actions.

Anyway, no matter who became the Howards’ helmsman, as long as this person ensured that their interests remained unchanged, the rest wasn’t important.

“Lucas, I’ve brought him back!” Jordan’s voice suddenly came. He was dragging a half-dead person on the ground!
