The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 954

Chapter 954 - Betraying the Family

Florence’s icy gaze landed on Ezra next to her.

Ezra’s heart tensed up, and he hurriedly showed a warm smile. “Congratulations on becoming the new helmsman of the Howards, Aunt Florence!

“It’s the Howards’ honor to have a smart and wise helmsman like you!”

Ezra quickly flattered Florence.

Since things had developed to this, and Ezra couldn’t take back the position of helmsman from Florence, he could only express his loyalty and make her less hostile toward him.

Florence sneered.

The Howards had previously blamed her and Lucas for causing the Peerless Martial Association to become their enemy. But at the end of the day, the root cause was Ezra, who had wanted to use Dwayne to kill Lucas. If not for him, Dwayne wouldn’t have died trying to assassinate Lucas, and Hades wouldn’t have come to the Howard residence to take revenge.

It could be said that Ezra was the culprit who started it all!

Moreover, if Lucas hadn’t arrived in time and saved her from Hades, Florence would have long been strangled to death by Hades.

It was all caused by her nephew Ezra!

Therefore, Florence would never let Ezra, this seemingly mild-mannered but deadly snake, off.

“Hah, Ezra, you’re really good at acting! You’re congratulating me for succeeding the position of helmsman, but you’re actually still planning to inform someone to deal with me, aren’t you?”

With a cold expression on her face, Florence stared straight into Ezra’s eyes.

Ezra’s heart skipped a beat as he gripped his phone in his pocket tightly.

He was extremely flustered, but he tried his best to remain calm and explain, “Aunt Florence, how can you think of me that way? I didn’t do anything! I…”

“Go get his phone from his pocket!” Florence interrupted Ezra and ordered the people around her.

A man in black immediately rushed toward Ezra.

Ezra’s expression changed drastically as he gripped his phone tightly and shouted, “No! Aunt Florence, even though you’re in charge of the family now, you have no right to invade my privacy or snatch my phone away! You… you’re going overboard!”

While shouting, he looked around in panic to find an escape route.

“Hmph! Hold him down and grab his phone!” Florence said coldly.

Ezra was panic-stricken. If Florence really got hold of his phone, she would definitely find his messages. At that time, he would be dead meat!

No, no matter what, I can’t let them get my phone!

Ezra gritted his teeth and suddenly threw his phone at a fountain nearby!

As long as his phone fell into the water and short-circuited, no one would be able to find out what was inside!

As long as they didn’t have any evidence, there was nothing Florence could do to him even though she was the helmsman now.

Ezra had a well-thought-out plan. But unfortunately, the moment he threw his phone, Florence’s subordinate pinned him down to the ground, disrupting the original trajectory of his phone and causing it to fall to the ground soon after he threw it. It didn’t even make it close to the fountain!

When Ezra struggled to raise his head from the ground, he saw his phone being handed over to Florence respectfully.

“Florence Howard, you… That’s my phone. You can’t look at the contents and invade my privacy!” Ezra roared at the top of his lungs.

Unfortunately, he was now pressed firmly to the ground by Florence’s subordinate, and it was impossible for him to stop her.

Moreover, he was behaving like he had a guilty conscience. Even a fool would know that there must be something fishy on his phone.

Florence unlocked Ezra’s phone and immediately saw the two text messages sent not long ago in the chat history.

When she saw the content of the messages, her face immediately darkened, and her eyes were full of murderous intent when she looked at Ezra.

“Ezra, you actually betrayed the family by tipping someone off! You deserve to die for what you’ve done!” Florence yelled furiously.

Hearing this, the Howards were shocked.

The Howards were a big family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. According to the family rules, anyone who betrayed the family could be executed directly!

They knew that Ezra was definitely dissatisfied with Florence taking over as the helmsman, and he might even think of taking revenge.

But they were even more puzzled as to who Ezra had tipped off and what he intended to do to the Howards and Florence.

“Hah, I tipped someone off and betrayed the family?” Seeing that the secret in his phone had been exposed, Ezra decided to go all out and stop pretending. He revealed his true colors and said contemptuously, “That’s right. I tipped someone off, but you forced me to do it, Florence!

“You’re a woman, so you’re not qualified to be the helmsman. But you used despicable means and ganged up with your son-in-law to force Grandpa to hand the position over to you!

“You didn’t get the position fair and square. Who would acknowledge you?

“I admit that I’ve used some tricks, but they’re nothing compared to what you’ve done!

“I tipped off the people of the Peerless Martial Association. I just wanted to kill Lucas Gray. So what? Doesn’t he deserve to die?

“I’m using my own methods to clean up our family. It’s not considered betraying the family at all!

“On the contrary, you’re the biggest traitor of the family because you used despicable means to snatch the position of helmsman!”

Ezra was pinned to the ground and unable to move, so he could only lash out at Florence in desperation.

Florence was extremely gloomy now, and she couldn’t wait to kill the incompetent Ezra!

He had clearly tipped off the people of the Peerless Martial Association and released news that would cause the Howards to face a calamity. But he didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter at all. In order to deal with her and Lucas for his own selfish desires, he didn’t even care about the well-being of the entire Howard family. He was simply out of his mind!

“Ezra, shut up! Don’t try to twist facts!

“Lucas is my son-in-law, so he’s not an outsider but one of the Howards!

“You, on the other hand, have no regard for what will happen to the Howards or how the Peerless Martial Association will deal with us. All you care about is the position of helmsman, and you’d do anything to get it. You’re the traitor of the Howards!”

“If it wasn’t for you, the Howards wouldn’t be facing a calamity today, and things wouldn’t have turned out the way they are now!

“How dare you argue for yourself in front of us when things have already come to this?! You’ve caused us to face a terrifying enemy, so you must die to pay for your crime today!” Florence hollered furiously.

Ezra didn’t seem to care, and he had a twisted look on his face.

“Haha, anyway, I’ve already informed the Peerless Martial Association, and they’ll be coming soon. None of you will be able to escape!

“Even if I don’t become the helmsman, you can forget about it! Even if I have to die, I’ll make all of you die with me!”

Ezra burst into maniacal laughter.
