Chapter 902: Resolving The Crisis

“Oh? Is it progressing so quickly?” Lucas had a hint of surprise on his face after receiving Roman’s call.

Roman smiled. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to your help. You’ve done so many things for me, while I just bragged in front of them. If I couldn’t even do this, wouldn’t I have let you down despite all your trust in me?”

Lucas smiled. “Okay, I’ll get people to take care of it right away.”

Lucas hung up and then made three calls.

One was to Tyson, the second was to Florence, and the third was to Lucas’s subordinate.

At this moment, the Huttons’ meeting was still in progress, and everyone still looked serious and grim. They were trying to figure out how to resolve the crisis the Huttons were facing. But they didn’t know that the crisis had long been resolved after Luas made a few phone calls.

“Okay, that’s the initial plan. We’re pressed for time. Everyone, act according to the plan immediately! Any later, and our losses will be even greater. I hope you all bear this in mind and get to it as soon as possible!

“If there’s anything else, report it to me at any time!” Michael ordered with a serious expression.

“Yes, Michael!”

The Huttons didn’t dare to delay at all and stood up one after another.

Just as everyone was about to leave the conference room to carry out the tasks Michael had just given them, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed into the conference room. He exclaimed, “Mr. Hutton! Good news!”

Michael frowned. “Good news? What good news?”

The Huttons were currently facing a huge crisis, and they were very busy. He didn’t believe that any good news could overshadow the bad news at this time.

“Mr. Hutton, the crisis we’re facing has already been resolved!” the middle-aged man said happily.

“What!?!”

Michael was immediately stunned, and the other Huttons were also shocked.

They had just been discussing how to resolve this crisis and finally came up with a plan. They hadn’t even had the time to start implementing it, yet the crisis was suddenly resolved.

This news didn’t sound real at all!

After all, the Smiths, the Howards, and the Huttons were all among the top eight families of DC. There was a lot of competition between them, and they had a strained relationship. Since the two families suddenly joined forces to attack the Huttons, how could it end so quickly?

“Where did you get this news from? Is it credible?” Michael asked his secretary.

Michael had a doubtful look. “The Smiths and the Howards are our old rivals, and now, they’ve suddenly joined forces to attack us. At least twenty of our businesses are under attack at the same time. Our losses are extremely serious, and two businesses are about to go bankrupt! How could this crisis be resolved in an instant?”

The other Huttons nodded. “Yeah! The Smiths and the Howards have already dealt a massive blow to us in a short time. How could they suddenly be kind enough to stop after gaining such an advantage? Did you get the wrong information?”

“Yes, this is too incredible! Is it possible that this is a trap? Are they doing this to make us think that the crisis is over so that we relax our guards before they deal us another hard blow?!”

“Yes, it’s very likely that this is the case!”

…

All the Huttons were full of disbelief, and they began discussing all sorts of conspiracies.

But the middle-aged secretary shook his head and said, “I don’t know why they suddenly stopped, but I don’t think this is a trap. After all, when they made a move today, they caught us off guard and caused us severe losses. Their final move should have been to strike us until we’re overwhelmed so that they can win.

“But if they suddenly give up, it will make us keep their guards up and become wary of them. If they want to deal with us again in the future, it won’t be as easy as this time.”

What the secretary said made sense too. If the Smiths and the Howards really wanted to destroy the Huttons, they wouldn’t have suddenly given up.

In that case, why did they suddenly stop?

The Huttons were at a loss as to why the Smiths and the Howards suddenly did this and why the crisis the Huttons faced was suddenly resolved. But none of them thought that this matter was related to Roman.

“Ah, you’re still here!”

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly walked into the conference room. It was Roman.

Roman had a victorious smile on his face. “I’ve already dealt with the Huttons’ crisis, but your meeting is still going on? Aren’t you too inefficient?”

“What did you say?!”

“You solved the crisis?”

“How is that possible?!”

…

As soon as Roman spoke, the Huttons in the conference room were filled with shock. Many of them blurted out a few questions.

They had just learned from the secretary that the crisis was over, so how did Roman know about it?

Besides, he actually said that he was the one who helped the Huttons resolve the crisis. How was this possible?

How could an illegitimate son be able to solve this giant crisis?

No one believed him!

“Roman, are you saying that you’re the one who resolved the family’s crisis?” Collin asked agitatedly, looking at his son in disbelief.

He was now in an extremely complicated mood.

Initially, the arrogant remarks Roman suddenly said had already pushed him into a very unfavorable situation. Even Collin had no other choice but to prepare himself for when Roman failed and then got kicked out of the Huttons and DC.

But he didn’t expect Roman to return so soon with such great news.

Roman smiled lightly. “That’s right. I resolved the crisis. You should have already received the news, right?”

“Haha, yes, we did! We’ve indeed already received the good news of the crisis being resolved. Well done, son!” Collin was so excited that he didn’t know what to do. He patted Roman on his shoulder proudly.

The rest of the Huttons were still extremely surprised.

Could it be that the crisis all of the Huttons hadn’t been able to deal with was actually resolved by this illegitimate son who had just returned to the family?

It seemed too unbelievable.

“Hah, you really like claiming credit so much, huh?” Jace sneered. “You should have just heard Mr. Stevens say that the family’s crisis has been resolved. That’s why you’re anxiously claiming credit and saying that you resolved the crisis. How shameless of you!”
