No matter whether I remember or not, this position ultimately has to be fought for.
Damian Howard was in a dilemma.
If he passively waited for arrangements, obediently accepting the position of family head, he would be looked down upon; the Howards would think that without Roy Howard, he was nothing—his credibility would be difficult to establish, and every step in the future would be a struggle.
Therefore, what Roy Howard offered him, he could not take.
Only by seizing it himself could he show everyone: he was not a sickling who could only lie in bed!
Only by seizing it himself could he get those in the Howard Family who were originally loyal to Alexander Summers to truly acknowledge the new family head!
But—
To turn against a brother who had once shared heartfelt camaraderie, all for fame and power, incited even greater criticism.
The Howards would think him lacking in loyalty and reason, and such a family head would equally struggle to command respect.
