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

Chapter 953: Replacing Old With New

With a look of indifference, Florence sneered, “Brother? Why didn’t you say that when I was being strangled and almost died?

“Cut the crap. If you still refuse to get lost, you can try and see if I’ll really order my people to kill you!

“Five…

“Four…”

...

Samuel’s face instantly paled, especially when he heard Florence counting down from five. The fear within him immediately surged to the peak.

In the past, he might have been able to use his identity as her brother to restrain her and make her comply.

But Florence had completely lost all her affection and feelings for him and the Howards. She no longer cared about kinship and had become indifferent and heartless.

Florence would probably really kill her biological brother now.

“Three…

“Two…

...

“One!

“Time’s up!”

After finishing the countdown expressionlessly, Florence immediately ordered her subordinates, “Do it!”

Four men in black immediately charged toward Samuel. They were each holding a sharp dagger in hand, and the cold blades glistened under the light.

Samuel was finally convinced that Florence would really kill him!

In this life-and-death situation, Samuel could no longer care about anything else as he closed his eyes and shouted frantically, “W-wait! I… I concede! I’ll give up on being the helmsman! I won’t fight with you or stop you anymore!”

“Stop!” Florence sneered as she raised her hand.

The four black-clothed experts attacking Samuel immediately stopped and returned to their previous positions.

Only after seeing these experts leave did Samuel heave a sigh of relief and take a deep breath.

The brief second just now felt like a year to him. It was so long that it made him feel suffocated.

After conceding to Florence in front of everyone, Samuel felt very humiliated. But at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling joyful for overcoming an ordeal. His forehead, chest, and back were all drenched in cold sweat.

Florence glanced at his wretched appearance and suddenly smirked at Felix. “Look how much of a coward your chosen successor is!

“Just because he’s a man, are you going to hand over your position to him even though he’s such an incompetent coward?

“Is that what you keep claiming to be for the best interests of the family? Hah, how ridiculous!

“Oh, by the way, although Samuel is a hypocritical coward, at least he can still step forward and pretend. But another coward from the Howards doesn’t even have the courage to speak up!

“Is that why only men are fit to be the helmsman of the Howards?

“If the Howards really landed in the hands of these good-for-nothings, we would really be doomed!

Florence glanced at Ezra mockingly, who was standing at the side without even daring to say a word.

Her words were sharp, and coupled with the actions of Samuel and Ezra, no one could refute her at all.

“You… you!” Endless fury surged in Felix’s heart, as well as some misery. Perhaps he was upset with Florence’s sharp words, or perhaps he was angered by the embarrassing behavior of his son Samuel and his grandson Ezra, whom he valued greatly.

His face turned red and white while his entire body trembled in fury. Suddenly, Felix spat out a mouthful of red blood!

“Felix!” A few Howards subconsciously shouted, but they quickly realized that someone else was now the helmsman, so they didn’t know how to treat Felix.

For a moment, more than ten Howards stood around them, but none of them dared to go forward to hold Felix or speak up for him.

Seeing this scene, Florence felt melancholic yet amused.

This was the Howard family, whose members had grown up with the mindset of putting interests before all else, which her father had instilled in them.

All of them were raised to be cold-blooded and heartless, valuing only profits and losses but not humanity and kinship.

Seeing Felix’s pale and shriveled old face, Florence couldn’t bring herself to be cruel.

“Someone, come take the Howards’ former helmsman to the hospital for proper care and treatment!”

A few of the Howards’ servants hurried over from the corners they were hiding in and held Felix to help him away.

At this moment. Felix’s expression was also extremely complicated.

He looked at his children, grandchildren, and family members standing around him but were too scared to even speak. He then looked at Florence, who was standing in the middle of the crowd with an imposing aura. After a long time, a strange expression appeared on his face. He seemed to be caught between laughter and tears.

.

With the help of the servants, he stood in front of Florence and took a few glances at her before suddenly announcing, “I, Felix Howard, the helmsman of the Howard family, hereby announce that from now on, the new family head is Florence Howard!”

After speaking, he stopped looking at the expressions of the people around him, slowly closed his eyes, and allowed the servants to hold him to leave the villa.

Under street lights outside shone on Felix’s white hair as his figure suddenly hunched, making him look much thinner and weaker. It heralded the end of an era.

From now on, Florence called the shots in the family!

Florence became the first ever female helmsman of the Howards!

Lucas watched silently from the side.

Florence had controlled the entire scene alone and taken the position of helmsman resolutely, which made Lucas change his opinion of her for the better.

This woman was truly capable. Lucas was looking forward to seeing what the Howards would become under her leadership.

But before that, there was still a very important matter that needed to be resolved.

Florence also turned her attention to a young man. “Since I’ve now become the helmsman, I naturally have to help the family clean up!”
