Issues Arising at the Same Time

Lucas said with a comforting smile, "Rest assured. Everything will be fine. The Howards aren't weak, and they won't let others bully them."

Anyway, he had already done what he needed to do and saved the Howards once from the Piers and the Williams.

But he wasn't a Howard after all, and he wasn't obligated to keep staying in DC to help the Howards resolve their troubles.

Furthermore, Lucas believed that Florence wasn't a fool. Michael had already taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Howards, so the Howards would definitely seize the opportunity to form an alliance with the Huttons.

In that case, the Howards wouldn't face any major issues.

Besides, if something unexpected really happened, Lucas still had the Smiths to help him in DC, and he could have them side with the Howards.
