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

Chapter 904: Between Father and Son

Michael was the head of the Hutton family, but he actually said that he would agree to whatever request that person made!

Who exactly was this person?

Roman was also full of shock, and he took a serious look at Michael, as if he was judging the truthfulness of what he said.

“Are you serious?” Roman asked.

Michael nodded with an emotional look on his face. “That’s right! I know what you want. From today onward, you are the successor of the Huttons! Soon, I will issue an official notice to all the Huttons!”

His words were like a thunderbolt that astonished everyone in the conference room.

Michael, the helmsman of the Huttons, actually decided to let Roman, the illegitimate son who just returned to the Huttons, become the successor of the family!

This was too incredible!

Could it be because of the phone call just now?

There was an unexpected look on Roman’s face.

He didn’t expect Michael to suddenly make this decision just because he heard Lucas’s voice. Since Lucas wanted Roman to become the successor of the Huttons, Michael immediately fulfilled his wish and let Roman become the successor in front of all the Huttons!

Did this mean that Michael still cared about Lucas?

Roman looked at Michael and saw the bitter look on his aged face.

“No, I refuse to accept it!” An angry and indignant roar suddenly resounded in the large conference room.

“On what grounds? He couldn’t even produce a single piece of concrete proof. Why did you give the position of successor to him? Just because of that phone call?

“Is that person so important to you? Is he so important that you’re willing to heed his wishes for something as important as selecting the successor of the family? What am I to you then?”

With a grimace, Jace gritted his teeth and yelled at the crowd in fury, especially at his father.

Seeing this scene in front of them, many Huttons were stunned.

Although Jace was Michael’s son, Michael was the head of the Huttons after all. Now that he was in front of so many family members, he shouldn’t have contradicted Michael no matter what!

Besides, it was indeed disrespectful of him to say this at this time. He could have said it to his father in private.

They started wondering whom Jace was referring to.

What was all this about?

Michael’s face was also very gloomy now, and he shouted at Jace, “Shut up! This is the decision I’ve made, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!”

Jace retorted angrily, “You’re lying! You’re clearly influenced by him! He’s just a bastard who has been kicked out of the family for twenty years! Why should what he says sway your mind and decide who becomes the next successor?

“I refuse to accept it! I’m your legitimate son. How am I any inferior to that bastard son of yours?”

Jace’s words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the minds of all the Huttons.

They had witnessed many shocking things in the conference room today, but the information Jace revealed just was too much for their brains to handle.

Bastard son?

Why was there another illegitimate child?

The bastard son that Jace mentioned was obviously not Roman, Collin’s illegitimate son, but… Michael’s, whom almost everyone had forgotten!

At this time, everyone finally understood that the young man on the phone with Roman just now was that illegitimate son!

Twenty years ago, Michael’s illegitimate son had been expelled from the Huttons and driven out of DC. The older generation of the family was clear about it because the incident had blown up back then, and the Huttons had even snatched the Stardust Corporation away from his mother.

But they didn’t expect that twenty years later, the eight-year-old child would return!

Moreover, it looked like he could meddle in the Huttons’ internal affairs.

How could this not shock them?

Jace was still raging. He stared into his father’s eyes and continued with a cold smile, “Father! If I remember correctly, you personally ordered for that bastard and his mother to be expelled from the Huttons. You even drove them out of DC and forbid them from ever setting foot in DC again!”

“But what about now? Not only did he come back freely, but he also tried to oppose me and made a mess in our family! But what about you? Not only did you not punish him and continue to drive him out, but you’re even going to remove me from the position of successor because of what he said. You’re even going to let an illegitimate son replace me!

“Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? Have you ever thought about my feelings? Can you face my mother? If my mother hadn’t helped you back then, how could you have become the helmsman of the Huttons and have all that you have now?”

Jace seemed to be greatly agitated as he shouted at his father. He even said many disrespectful things.

For a moment, Michael was so angry that his face turned pale, and his chest heaved up and down violently.

The other Huttons in the conference room were so shocked that they didn’t dare to breathe.

But they all knew that all these things Jace said had indeed happened.

But Michael was the helmsman of the Huttons after all, yet he was being shamed in public by his son!

As expected…

Smack!

Michael raised his hand and slapped Jace’s face. He hollered angrily with an ashen face, “Shut up!”

This slap immediately made Jace’s face cock to the side.

Jace covered his swollen and numb face and stared at Michael in disbelief, looking extremely hurt. “You…. you’ve never hit me in all these years, and now, you actually hit me for that illegitimate son?!”

Michael had slapped Jace in the heat of the moment, and now, he felt some regrets in his heart. No matter what, Jace was also the son he had loved for so many years, and it was impossible for him not to feel anything.

His lips trembled, but he said softly. “Jace, I’m doing this for your own good. In the future, you will understand my intentions!”
