Chapter 919: The Gossip Goes On

In fact, although Samuel and Ezra were uncle and nephew, Samuel had always felt that he was quite good to Ezra.

Since Pamela was his only child, he even treated Ezra, his nephew, as his own son. He even thought that if Pamela got married one day and he had no one to succeed him, he would let Ezra become the next successor once he became the helmsman of the family.

Thus, Samuel had never doubted Ezra.

Until now, he heard his daughter exposing Ezra’s lies.

Ezra had obviously invited Lucas and Jordan to the Howard residence, so why did he keep denying it and deceiving him?

After Pamela exposed the truth and Samuel questioned him, Ezra couldn’t help panicking.

In fact, when he had the guards block Lucas at the entrance and found that Pamela was also there, Ezra had had an ominous hunch.

Worried that Pamela’s presence would jeopardize his plan, Ezra had sent a subordinate to pester Pamela in hopes that before Pamela arrived at the hall, Lucas and Samuel would be in a life-and-death fight.

But Ezra didn’t expect Pamela to rush to the banquet hall in advance because she had Lucas in mind. Not only did she stop Samuel from shooting Lucas, but she even exposed the truth he had concealed, immediately putting him in a disadvantageous position.

But Ezra was the most outstanding and distinguished heir of his generation among the Howards after all. He wasn’t a fool, so he immediately thought of a few explanations.

“I’m sorry, Uncle Samuel. I admit that I’ve deceived you!” Erza bowed with reddened eyes and a guilty expression. “Uncle Samuel, I did know this person prior to this, but I could tell that he harbored ill intentions and wasn’t sincere toward Pamela. That’s why I didn’t want Pamela to be with him!

“I admit that I did invite him here today, but my original intention was to make him realize the disparity between him and the Howards. I want him to know where he stands and to stop pestering Pamela!

“But I didn’t expect him to be so arrogant as to have the guts to kill and hurt people in the Howard residence. He even has the audacity to make Pamela pregnant!

“Uncle Samuel, it’s indeed my fault for not telling you these things in advance. But even if Pamela is really pregnant with his child, I won’t acknowledge him as her husband because he really isn’t a good match for her!”

Ezra sounded extremely earnest, and every word he said seemed to be for the sake of his cousin Pamela, which was why he had hidden the truth.

Lucas sneered. Ezra was indeed as sharp-tongued and eloquent. In just a few words, he easily explained himself and shirked all responsibility. He even took the moral high ground by making himself look noble for bearing the humiliation for his cousin’s sake.

Pamela gritted her teeth and said indignantly, “Ezra, who are you to say that he isn’t a good match for me?”

Samuel narrowed his eyes and waited for Ezra to speak.

Ezra sneered and suddenly pointed at Lucas. “Because he’s already married to Aunt Florence’s biological daughter!”

Boom!

The shocking news immediately stunned everyone in the hall!

It turned out that Florence actually had a daughter!

But they had never heard of this matter after being in DC for so many years!

They only remembered that Florence had indeed gotten married to a Lambert before. But after her husband died, his family had basically formed a union with the Howards. They thought that Florence didn’t have any children with him and thus returned to her maiden family.

But Ezra actually said that Florence had a daughter who was already an adult.

In that case… who was the father of her daughter? Was her daughter an illegitimate child?

This young man in front of them actually married Florence’s daughter, and yet he had also hooked up with Samuel’s daughter. Did he want to take advantage of the cousins together?

What shocking gossip!

The guests in the hall imagined countless dramatic scenarios because of this news.

Indeed, they didn’t come to the Howards’ for nothing today. Just getting to hear so much gossip made their trip here worthwhile!

Pamela’s face instantly turned pale.

She thought that no one in DC knew about the marriage between Lucas and Cheyenne, so she could just pretend that Lucas was single. She could then confess her love to him and even use the Howards’ power to force him to accept her.

But she didn’t expect Ezra to reveal it!

How did he know about this?

Of course, the most gloomy person now was Samuel.

As Florence’s brother, Samuel was naturally well aware of everything that happened to her back then. He also knew that Florence had a daughter whom she had abandoned.

But he didn’t expect that the husband of Florence’s daughter would actually get his daughter pregnant. How did this happen?

Moreover, Samuel also knew that Florence’s husband had died in the Howard residence back then. In that case, did Lucas come to attend the birthday banquet or for a hidden agenda?

In that case, the situation would become even more complicated.

“Uncle Samuel, I don’t want him continuing being with Pamela precisely because I’m aware of this! He’s already married to Aunt Florence’s daughter, yet he’s still messing with Pamela. He obviously harbors ill intentions!

“That’s why I’ve been trying my best to stop this matter. I don’t want Pamela to continue being deceived by him and staying with him!

“But this matter concerns… Aunt Florence’s secrets after all. So I didn’t know how to tell you about it. If it wasn’t because they forced me to this extent, I wouldn’t have revealed these matters!”

Ezra sighed with a look of helplessness and guilt, as if he was forced to reveal this matter against his wishes.

Like this, even though he revealed the scandal that the Howards had been hiding for years, Samuel couldn’t blame him for it.

But what Ezra said caused the hall to explode instantly.
