Chapter 920: Give You A Chance

“Since Ezra has said so, then what happened to Florence back then must be true! I didn’t expect her to have an illegitimate daughter!”

“What happened back then? Quickly tell us about it!”

“Some of you may not know that about twenty-eight years ago, Florence, who was still very young at the time, suddenly eloped with a poor boy. Mr. Howard was infuriated! Although this matter was soon suppressed, many families knew about it!

“I heard that they had a tough life out there, and Florence even became pregnant. Later, the man returned to DC and begged the Howards for forgiveness so that they could return to the family. Afterward, he somehow angered Mr. Howard and was killed.

“A few months later, Florence returned to DC alone, looking extremely haggard. I heard that she knelt in front of Mr. Howard’s door for two days and two nights before he was appeased and allowed her to return to the family. But she soon married into the Lamberts in a marriage alliance.

“The Howards have been keeping this secret. After all, it’s a shameful scandal, and they didn’t want to air their dirty laundry in public! But after I heard what Ezra said, it turned out that Florence gave birth to an illegitimate daughter back then. Who knows where she was hiding her. Calculating the time, she should be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old now, which is about the same age as that young man!”

“Tsk, tsk. It turns out the Howards have so many secrets! But since this man has already married Florence Howard’s illegitimate daughter and has now gotten Pamela pregnant, he’s truly a scumbag!”

“It looks like Ezra is probably right. This man might be doing this on purpose to take revenge against the Howards! After all, the father of Florence’s illegitimate daughter was killed by the Howards!”

The guests in the hall were having lively discussions about the Howards’ secrets. Many people hadn’t heard about this matter, and they were finding out about it from the elders with glistening eyes.

Although the Howards had suppressed Florence’s incident, the matter wasn’t trivial back then, so many elders were vaguely aware of what had happened.

Samuel looked extremely upset.

This incident wasn’t a glorious matter to begin with. Now that people were bringing it up again, he naturally felt embarrassed as a Howard.

But the most atrocious person now was Lucas!

“Scoundrel, since you’ve already married Florence’s daughter, why are you still messing with my daughter? Do you think I’m a pushover?

“If you don’t tell me the truth, don’t blame me for being ruthless to you!”

Samuel glowered at Lucas with gritted teeth.

At this moment, Pamela knew that the consequences of what she said earlier were too serious, so she hurriedly explained, “Dad, I really have nothing to do with him. I’m not pregnant, and he hasn’t taken advantage of me!”

“Shut up!” Samuel shouted angrily. He didn’t believe Pamela at all.

He felt that Pamela was telling the truth about being pregnant because no unmarried woman would say such a thing that would ruin her reputation!

As for her denial, it was just her covering up for Lucas because she didn’t want him to be considered a scumbag with ulterior motives.

My daughter is such a fool! Even after this scumbag deceived her, he’s still so obsessed with him!

“Dad, what I’m saying now is true. I’m really not pregnant, and I don’t have an intimate relationship with him either! I… I just didn’t want you and him to get into a conflict, so I said that lie!

“If you still don’t believe me, I can go to the hospital to check with you. I’m really not pregnant!” Pamela frantically explained. She was now full of regret. She wouldn’t have lied about this if she had known things would turn out like this!

“Enough!” Samuel hollered, stopping Pamela from speaking. He turned around and ordered, “Take Pamela away!”

“Yes!” Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and held Pamela. Ignoring her struggles, they dragged her out of the banquet hall.

Although Pamela was an heiress of the Howards, her father was the future helmsman, so the bodyguards naturally obeyed him.

Even after Pamela was taken away, Lucas didn’t say a word to defend himself.

Since Samuel refused to believe even Pamela’s words, how could he possibly believe an outsider?

“I’m asking you, why are you doing this to my daughter? What’s your true motive?” Samuel questioned Lucas loudly.

“I’ve already told you that your daughter and I don’t have that kind of relationship. I can’t help it if you don’t believe me.” Lucas looked at Samuel calmly and sneered.

“I thought you, the next helmsman of the Howards, should have some brains. However, I didn’t expect that you’d let yourself be deceived to such an extent but still not wake up. There’s nothing I have to say now.

“Since I’m not welcome here, I’ll leave now!”

With that, Lucas turned around to leave.

“Bastard, stop!” Samuel obviously wouldn’t let Lucas leave easily.

With his roar, nearly ten burly bodyguards surged over from the entrance of the banquet hall, and each aimed a pistol at Lucas.

“Aahhh!” The guests in the hall screamed in horror and hid in the surrounding corners.

It seemed that Samuel was planning to take real action against Lucas, as he had even summoned the Howards’ pistol squad.

If they all shot at the same time, Lucas and his subordinate would most likely die regardless of how powerful they were.

Everyone avoided them far away, afraid of being accidentally injured by the bullets!

Seeing the pistol squad, Ezra instantly looked excited.

Although there had been some hiccups, things were finally getting back on track as he had planned!

Next, he just needed to wait quietly for the result. To him, it would be best if both of them died!

Lucas stopped and looked at Samuel calmly. “Put away those scraps. I told you already. They won’t work on me.

“On account that your daughter shielded me from the gun earlier, I can give you a chance and spare your life.

“I hope that you won’t continue being stupid!”

After Lucas finished speaking, a fierce light flashed in his eyes!
