The greetings of "family head" could be heard from the family members.

Inside the meeting hall, it was so quiet that a needled dropping could be heard.

The atmosphere was solemn, and the air seemed to be freezing.

Jack frowned, standing behind Patrick, his heart was raging.

It seemed that they blatantly teamed up to take over the position.

And they didn't leave any room for retreat at all.

Thinking of his father's instructions just before entering the door, Jack gritted his teeth, holding back his anger.

Suddenly, Patrick laughed.

Inside the silent meeting hall, his laughter echoed.

Everyone was shocked and their expressions changed.

"Great, that's great! None of you are taking me serious as the head of this family, are you working together to push me off my position?"

Patrick smiled and said, "Yes, its true that Jack went against our family rules when he attacked Madame Hughes. Not only that, he injured the brothers Killian and George, in that point he also violated the family rules."

What was going on?

The family head started to agree with him so readily?

Everyone was startled.

Madame Hughes and Carter were even more puzzled.

Just as he said that.

Archer suddenly sneered and said, "You, the head of the family, you are still bright enough to know that your son has violated the family rules, do we have to say what to do next?" "Archer, you always have something to say."

Patrick looked at Archer jokingly, "Or, you think I'm in this wheelchair now, so I can't do anything to you?"

"You..." Archer flushed, gritted his teeth and swallowed the anger.

Looking at Patrick fearfully, he lowered his head.

He had the chance to get to know Patrick's methods when he was fighting for the head of the family position, he knew what Patrick was capable of doing.

No!

Anyone who had the status of heir and participated in the battle to become the head of the family knew that Patrick was a cruel person.

He was a tiger inside that sniffed the rose.

It was the most appropriate to describe Patrick.

Immediately afterwards, Patrick scanned through the crowd slowly.

Suddenly he said, "If I don't agree, what are you going to do?"

He jokingly smiled and looked at the audience.

It seemed that he didn't take anyone present seriously.

Madame Hughes wrinkled her brows and slammed her hands on the armrest of the chair.

Everyone was shocked and angry.

He had committed crimes such as blatant violations of family rules, blatant protection, wasn't this not taking anybody serious?

Why could a bastard have such great privileges?

Just relying on the fact that he was Patrick's son?

But these complaints, everyone only dared to bear in their hearts, they dared not to speak up.

"Is it too much for you to do this?"

Carter said in a deep voice, "If the head of the family does this, it will have an effect on the following, how will the Hughes family be managed in the future? Just because Jack is your son, he can have such great privileges? Then in the future, the whole Hughes family will be yours, he will kill whoever he wants to kill?"

"Too much? That's fine, Carter, can you tell me a solution?"

Patrick leaned back in the wheelchair and looked at Carter with a smile, his eyes sharp as a sword.

Carter met his gaze, not yielding, his gaze was equally cold.

A horrible sense of depression swept the entire Meeting hall.

Everyone was silent, watching them in horror.

Everyone knew that this was a confrontation between the head of the family and Carter.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, Carter laughed, "Since the head of the family asked, then I will tell you, for the sake of the head of the family, take away Jack's nomination of heir. If you are not a Hughes family member, this matter will be over!"

Jack's pupils narrowed.

Pressing his hands on the wheelchair, he couldn't help but to clench tightly, the veins on the back of his hands popped out.

The anger in the chest seemed to have reached a critical point at this moment, and he was about to burst out.

But his right leg was pinched by a big hand, and Jack resisted it again.

He glanced at his father, then looked at Carter angrily.

To be able to confront his father to this point, this person was not only backed up by Madame Hughes alone.

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Patrick spoke calmly.

Inside the meeting hall, there was silence.

Everyone looked indifferent.

But the silence at this moment, was like a sound of thunder.

"It seems that everyone agrees?"

Patrick rubbed his nose and smiled softly, but his expression gradually became colder.

Without waiting for him to speak, Archer yelled, "This is already the smallest punishment for your son."

"Great!"

Patrick smiled without anger.

Immediately, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked straight at Archer.

"Archer, you are not worthy of virtue. Everyone in the Hughes family knows that, but you are corrupting the law and secretly swallowing billions of money from the family financial company. Is this a violation of family rules?"

A sentence that hit like thunder.

The audience was in an uproar.

Archer's face changed drastically, it looked extremely pale.

He whispered and said in horror, "You, how did you know?"

When he asked this, Archer felt a chill on his back. He had already kept it extremely secretly, it was impossible for anyone to find out!

Patrick smiled disdainfully.

Turning to Carter, he said, "Carter, you are in charge of the overseas family office, colluding with the overseas family, discording from the Hughes family, you were secretly using your identity to facilitate the transfer of the Hughes family overseas properties to others at a low price, and profiting from it. Isn't that a violation of the family rules?"

His voice was calm.

But heard by the others it sounded like thunder blasted and deafened their ears.

An uproar sounded again.

A fierce light flashed in Carter's one eye, he bit his teeth and clenched his fists.

Patrick ignored it.

Rather, his gaze slowly scanned through the crowd, pausing again and again on the people in the hall, he was talking what they had done one by one.

"You, you are taking advantage of the name of the Hughes family and did too many shameful things. You have your formal wife while you have hundreds of women outside. There are dozens of bastard children. Is this a violation of family rules?"

"You, in the name of the Hughes family, are being very arrogant outside. A month ago, you stood up for a woman and you blatantly wiped out a small wealthy family in the capital city. There were various tragedies in the past. Is this a violation of family rules?"

His words were sharp, but there was a strange calmness.

But every look and every sentence made a Hughes family member's chill, their scalps numb, and caused them to panic.

Jack was dumbfounded and shocked.

Is this his father's master strategy?

He had already memorized these crimes by heart, and now was taking this opportunity to attack everyone?

In the end, Patrick's eyes fell on Madame Hughes.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Madame Hughes had been panicking a long time ago. Everyone present was scolded by Patrick and dared not refuse it. It was obviously true.

And now, Patrick looked at her, that guilt...

"Madame, you don't have the the name of Hughes as we do. Everyone respects you because you are older and because you have contributed to the Hughes family as a woman who gave birth to the children of the Hughes family."

Patrick's tone was calm, and Madame Hughes' face changed greatly when he said, "But you do not respect yourself. You live above the Hughes family hall, but you use this capacity to make all kinds of benefits for your parent's family. I never fought about it with you. Now why don't you teach me, if this is a violation of family rules?"

"You..."

Madame Hughes' complexion changed, and she stood up angrily, she was speechless, and fell into the chair again.

At this moment, the old lady no longer had the arrogance she had before, on the contrary, she was filled with endless depression and weakness.

"Ah!"

Patrick leaned back in his chair, and his majestic momentum swept the audience.

"Now I ask again, who agrees? Who opposes?"0000
