Female Novel
Chapter 354 One Year
It was silent inside the meeting hall.
Patrick was magnificent and smashed the audience.
Jack watched with enthusiasm, his father's words completely reversed the situation.
The numbers and the fact of the violations were clear.
If everyone present really were to be dealt with according to the rules of the family, then they could
hardly escape the punishment!
This made things simpler and put the right of choice in everyone's hands.
Those who followed would prosper, those who opposed would die!
Simple as that.
But it was as if a mountain was pressing on them, making people unable to resist.
Everyone's complexion changed, and the corners of their eyes jumped wildly.
Some of them were even worse, they were even faintly trembling.
Fear, horror, and despair haunted everyone.
It let everyone feel like falling into an ice cave.
If it was really true, no one in that room could escape.
All the crimes, punished in accordance to the family rules, the entire Hughes family seniors would have
to subvert.
Because every crime was the strictest rule above the family rules.
To live on somebody while helping someone else, to drown oneself in sex and lust, to feather one's
nest, these were clear enough
Every one of them were strictly forbidden, and they were all written on the family rules.
"Hm?!"
Patrick snorted suddenly.
Some of them were shocked by this cold snort.
"I, I object!"
Archer took the lead, "This matter is nothing but a trivial matter. You don't have to be serious, why
bother?"
"Archer!"
Madame Hughes and Carter glared at Archer at the same time, it seemed the two of them wanted to
eat Archer alive on the spot.
This useless person, he had taken a side quite fast!
"I object too!"
"I object!"
"Objection!"
...
As Archer spoke, it was as if the floodgate was opened to release the flood, and the voices sounded
one after another.
If someone dies and it won’t harm others while benefit others, this was what everyone wants.
But when if someone is dead, while hurting others, everyone was not willing to do so.
They were all a group who have cultivated to be refined, they had not lost their minds yet to fight
Patrick to the end in this matter!novelbin
As he head those oppositions.
Patrick showed a relieved smile, and slowly looked at Madame Hughes and Carter with a sharp gaze,
"I am very grateful to everyone for your interest. Now its only you and Carter that are left.
Madame Hughes and Carter looked at each other.
They were tangled, unwilling, hesitant.
In the end, Madame Hughes lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "Objection!"
"Objection!" Carter followed.
"Everyone is so knowledgeable. As the head of the family, I am very pleased."
Patrick smiled brightly and looked at all the people present, "Please be wise. Don't make me regret that
I have let it go today."
It made everyone embarrassed to the extreme.
However, no one dared to speak out.
Patrick seemed to have grasped the key to all of their crimes.
With a little action, anyone can be dealt with.
"Jack,you have met your uncles, let's go home."
Patrick didn't mean to stay, rubbing his head, and said with a slight disappointment, "You uncles, there
was no one who could fight back then. Twenty years have passed, and there is still no one who can
fight. Only your uncle Brown seems to have a little more power."
He said with contempt and disdain.
Jack made no secret of the smile on his face.
He was already excited and ecstatic.
A family meeting that was gathered to force him off his position, but with the words of his father, they
directly overwhelmed the audience.
No one dared to do anything more.
How deep was the shrewdness, and how bold was it?
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Madame Hughes shouted in a deep voice.
Jack stopped. Patrick looked back at Madame Hughes and smiled, "Madame Hughes, do you want to
change your mind?"
Madame Hughes showed a look of disgust, but turned to say, "You are worthy of being the head of the
family. The methods are amazing, but as an elderly person, I should also remind you that you should
distinguish the strength of heir and make sure, who will inherit the head of the family!"
"Oh? When do you think it's best?" Patrick asked.
Everyone was shocked.
But Madame Hughes was not afraid, "When you took office as the head of the family, it was just at the
50th birthday of the previous head of the family. The head of the family in the past was generally
established at this age. I feel that you can do the same!"
"50th birthday? I'm forty-nine this year, and in one year I will be fifty. In just one year, don't you think this
arrangement might be too hasty?"
Madame Hughes suddenly had reddened eyes, and pleaded with tears, "Do you want me not to be
able to see the next head of the family before I die, do you want me not to see the future and hope of
the Hughes family? What should I tell them after I join the ancestors?"
She was sobbing.
Suddenly everyone started whispering.
Many people got up to comfort her.
Carter hurriedly helped Madame Hughes, "Mom, this matter should be decided by the head of the
family, you should take care of your health."
"How can I not worry? As an older generation, who doesn't want to see the glorious future of the
family? They have not chosen the next head of the family, if I die someday, how should I face the
ancestors? Shouldn't I worry about this?"
Madame Hughes cried miserably and burst into tears.
The people around who got up to comfort her all looked helpless.
"One is saying it and the other is following it."
Patrick said in a cold voice, looked up at Jack, gritted his teeth, and said, "One year, then it is one year.
After one year, all heirs hand in their performance, the winner is king!"
A year?!
Jack was shocked.
But he pushed Patrick away.
After the two left.
In the meeting hall, Madame Hughes gradually calmed down.
Everyone left the Meeting hall.
When only Madame Hughes and Carter were left.
"Mom, why did you react so heavily just now?" Carter asked puzzled.
Madame Hughes sneered coldly, "If I can't kill Jack, I can't take away his heir status, that doesn't mean
that I can't limit Patrick's time in the name of the ancestors."
Carter suddenly realized, and was pleasantly surprised, "You are trying to make it in a slow way. With a
one-year deadline, Jack that bastard will lose everything? That bastard hasn't been operating for long,
it is impossible to surpass all heirs in his performance!"
"Not only that, I just wanted to disgust Patrick with this."
Madame Hughes smiled triumphantly, "Didn’t he pretend that his son was very strong and regard him
as a treasure in the palm of his hand? In one year, only one year, I want to see what kind of answers
Jack can produce."
"In one year, at Patrick's birthday banquet, all heirs will be there to celebrate his birthday, and all heirs
will be assessed at that time. At that time, not only Jack will have nothing, but Patrick will also lose
face!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! Sure enough, the elder know what to do!"
Carter was so ecstatic that he couldn't help giving a thumbs up to Madame Hughes.
"In one year, Jack that bastard won't be able to surpass other heir's hard work that they had been
building on over several decades, even if he is god!"
