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!
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.
