Chapter 1375 - 1375 The Huttons Betrayal

1375 The Huttons Betrayal

At that moment, the families on Lucass side felt immense pressure.

Damon, Bruce, Edmund, and the others all had solemn expressions.

None of them expected that the Arnaults would be so powerful and domineering!

Lucas looked at Jeffrey with interest.

!!

Speaking of which, Lucas had never inquired about the Arnaults before.

After all, Lucas didnt have much interest in the matters between top forces. As long as they didnt provoke him, he usually couldnt be bothered with them.

Therefore, Lucas hadnt sent people to investigate the Bransons and Arnaults, who had always been low-profile and hadnt caused trouble for him.

But now, Jeffrey was clearly not a simple person. Moreover, the eight top families in DC were so afraid of him. It was obvious that there was something about Jeffrey that Lucas didnt know yet.

But no matter who Jeffrey was, Lucas wouldnt be afraid of him, let alone be defeated by him!

Roman suddenly stepped forward and shouted righteously, Jeffrey Arnault, do you really think that were afraid of you? Were not spineless like Samuel Howard! Dont even think about making us betray Mr. Gray!

He was the illegitimate son of Collin, Michaels elder brother. He was originally a minor character who would never return to the Huttons in his life. It was Lucas who had helped him. Not only did he help him return to the Huttons, but he also made him the successor of the Huttons.

Lucas had done Roman a great favor. Now that Lucas was in danger, Roman naturally couldnt betray him at this juncture and submit to Jeffrey and go against Lucas!

Besides, Roman had always admired Lucas and knew that he was very powerful. He didnt believe that Lucas would lose to Jeffrey, an old man in his seventies!

Jeffrey looked at Roman coldly, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with killing intent. Alright! Since you dont know whats good for you, then I hereby announce that from today onward, the Huttons are expelled from the top eight families of DC!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

The Huttons had already been one of the eight top families in DC more than 20 years ago. But now, Jeffrey expelled them from this group with a single sentence?

This could be done?

Roman was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately sneered. Jeffrey Arnault, do you think youre the king and everyone has to listen to you? The Huttons are one of the eight top families of DC, and you cant expel us just because you want to!

In that case, I announce that the Arnaults have been kicked out of DC! Moreover, all the properties of the Arnaults belong to the Huttons. As for you, old man, you have to take out five billion dollars to buy your life! How about it? Are you convinced?

Romans words were full of mockery.

It was really funny. Did Jeffrey really think that his words were a royal edict?

Roman Everett, who do you think you are? Youre just an unpresentable illegitimate son of the Huttons. What qualifications do you have to make decisions for the Huttons?

At this moment, another voice sounded from the Huttons position. Then Jace squeezed out of the crowd and stared at Roman resentfully.

Roman looked at Jace coldly. Jace, Im the heir designated by the Huttons. Even if you have any objections, hold them in. You have no right to speak here!

Jace was furious. I, Jace Hutton, am the biological son of Michael Hutton, the Huttons helmsman, and Huttons legitimate heir! Who do you think you are? Youre just like Lucas Gray, an illegitimate child who cant see the light of day!

Youre trash who was kicked out of the Huttons twenty years ago. Why dont you take a look at your ident.i.ty?! If not for Lucas Gray, you wouldnt even be able to return to the Huttons, let alone be the successor!

You want to compete with me for the position of helmsman? Do you think a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you is worthy?

Jace glowered at Roman again and then shouted at the Huttons, Everyone, listen up. From today onward, I am the true heir of the Huttons, and Im kicking this b.a.s.t.a.r.d Roman Everett out of the family. From now on, he is no longer a member of the Huttons!

Those who are willing to follow me, step forward! Those who have a death wish, just stay there!

All the Huttons hesitated for a moment before standing behind Jace.

Only a few dozen people who followed Roman remained.

Romans expression was extremely gloomy. He had thought that after all his hard work during this period of time, he was better than Jace in every aspect. Presumably, he should have already obtained the support of a portion of the Huttons. He didnt expect these people to be so heartless. With a wave of Jaces arm, they all ran over to him.

Jace Hutton! My position of successor was personally appointed by the helmsman! The helmsman is still lying in the hospital, but youre openly defying his wishes. Youre s.n.a.t.c.hing the position of successor and splitting up the Huttons. Arent you worried that the helmsman will hold you accountable when he wakes up? Roman said through gritted teeth.

Jace laughed complacently. Heh, dont use my father to pressure me! You also know that Im my fathers biological son. If he doesnt hand over the position of helmsman to me, do you think hell hand it over to you, an illegitimate b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Im the legitimate heir of the Huttons. As for you, scram!

Roman sneered. Alright, lets wait for the helmsman to wake up and see how you answer to him!

Heh, hes my biological father. I can explain to him however I want! You dont have to worry about it! You should take care of yourself! Perhaps you wont live past tonight, so why are you still worrying about something meaningless?!

Lucas looked coldly at Jace and sneered. It looks like I really shouldnt have let you off so easily. I should have taught you a memorable lesson!

Back then, Jace had thought that Lucas was Michaels illegitimate son, so he was jealous of Lucas and went against him. Later, he had even instructed Karen to kidnap Charlotte and even colluded with the Hills to kill Lucas.

If Michael hadnt begged Lucas to spare Jaces life, and if Lucas hadnt found out that he wasnt Michaels son, he wouldnt have let Jace go. The gra.s.s on Jaces grave would have grown tall by now.. How could he still jump out at this time and go against Lucas?
