The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 104
Chloe squinted as she closely examined the car's license plate number and furrowed her brows in surprise."Ethan?" She wasn't surprised he found her, but she was taken aback by how quickly he had arrived at the Pearl Hotel, especially since it was closing time at Honey's and he had made it his duty to pick her up to and from school every day.Unless Claire called him, and instead of going home, he drove straight to Pearl Hotel with Honey.Chloe glanced down at her covered thighs and fidgeted with her fingers, her heart easing knowing Ethan was here.She hadn't realized it yet, but she felt more at peace whenever he was with her."Huh? Leonard, weren't you driving a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class just a few days ago? How is it that you're driving such a sleek and stylish sports car today? When did you get it?""Woah, Leonard! This looks really expensive! I don't need to ask how much you paid for it to know it must've cost a lot!""I would kill to ride in your car, Leonard. Please, let me dri

Claire was walking out of her room when she bumped into someone, causing her phone to call.She straightened up and gasped upon seeing Chloe. Then she quickly placed a hand on both of Chloe's shoulders and quietly scrutinized get from head to toe."Chloe, you're back. How did the reunion go? Hope you didn't let anyone walk all over you as usual? Your hair isn't wet. That's a good sign things weren't half as bad as I imagined them.""What are you doing?" Chloe asked, pulling on a faint smile while trying to hide the fatigue in her eyes.Claire stared into Chloe's eyes in relief."Making sure you're fine. I begged Ethan to come for you, but Honey wouldn't let him leave the house without her.""It's just a reunion between former high school classmates, and I knew it'd definitely be weird if your husband and daughter showed up in search of you. You'd stick out like a sore thumb.""I mean, who brings their husband and daughter to a high school reunion? So I just asked Ethan to stay while p

"Mom, that's such a bad way to talk to your daughter, especially in front of your granddaughter," Claire couldn't take it any longer and threw her chopsticks on her plate."What? I only call it as it is. If I don't, how will her daughter know what kind of mother she has?" Matilda huffed, not feeling a tinge of remorse.Claire leaned back in her seat and folded her hands underneath her bosom."And why would you say Chloe quit because of a little harassment? A man was trying to use his position to sleep with her. It's only right that she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to have anything to do with him, which was why she called people's attention to it.""Even if everyone is bashing her for not doing what he wanted her to do, as her mother, you should be on her side. After all, she's your daughter."Matilda raised her eyes and shot back at Claire, pointing her chopsticks in her face. "One of the sisters I play cards with has a daughter who works as a teacher there too. She pointedly sa

Very early the next morning, Ethan was resting on the balcony with his phone pressed against his ear and humming to everything Josiah Haworth was reporting. "The Wellington family have confirmed that you're back to Springdale, but they don't view you as a threat. But your half-brother is intent on crushing you.""He's quite unpredictable. He hasn't made any move yet, but I have a feeling he'll soon do so. From what I've gathered, I'm not the only one he has keeping eyes on you." Ethan's mouth curved into an "Oh," and he said nothing else. "Daddy?" A sleepy voice belonging to a child called out.Ethan turned to see Honey still in her pink astronaut pyjamas yawning and rubbing her eyes sleepily. His hard eyes softened and he turned to her, forgetting he was on a call. He glanced at the time and squatted in front of her worrieody. "Today is not a school day, baby. You can sleep as much as you want." Honey lowered her hands to her side and pouted cutely. "Honey wants to go somewhere

The place was silent for a moment before some members of the William family quickly went over to help Lewis up.Adam William fully walked out of the conference room with a pale face and barked furiously at Chloe when he saw her standing beside them."What is this? Have you no shame? Standing aside while your loser husband beats up your cousin! What kind of person are you?""Cousin...?" Chloe's dull eyes instantly lit up. She had expected the worst on their way here, and she didn't even expect Adam to speak to her.Even though he was furious at her and wasn't using the best of words with her, she was glad he still remembered she was Lewis' cousin.If he no longer saw her as his granddaughter and didn't want her to be near him anymore, he would never make a mistake like that.Nervous that Ethan would do something else to anger Adam more, she quickly turned to him and began slapping him on the arm while yelling in a loud voice."Why did you hit Lewis? I knew tagging along with me was a b

One, two...ten seconds went by without Jeremy Radford getting no response from Ethan.The Radford family was a second-tier family in Springdale, and Jeremy Radford was the family's helmsman.Back when the William family was struggling to keep their position as a third-tier family, they visited every family they could in a bid to score an investment deal with them.Even though the Radford family's income had remained stagnant ever since Jeremy took over its reins, it still made enough to take care of their needs.The Jubilee Corporation never went up the rank, neither did it go down. It just remained stagnant.Adam figured that going into business with such a family that knew how to keep themselves afloat was a nice idea.As long as the Radford family never fell, the William family would be fine.For several months, everyone in Stellar Corporation had tried to come up with ways to sign a contract with Jeremy Radford, but all attempts proved abortive.Finally, after Stellar Corporation'

"I knew Mr. Haworth would be on my side. Hurry up and chase this rascal out of here before... wait, what?"Jeremy held his breath when Josiah's words made sense to him.Given Josiah's status, a pauper like Ethan wasn't worthy of looking into his face. It was even unlike him to speak up for anyone.So Jeremy concluded Josiah Haworth mistook the meaning of what he said for something else and hurriedly rephrased."Mr. Haworth, I'm afraid you've mistaken my intentions. I'm not trying to involve myself in the William family's business. This scumbag here is not a member of the William family. He's not even worthy of being here, talk more of seeing an influential figure like you!""I bet this will be the closest he'll ever be to an influential figure. Now hurry up and get this eyesore out of here, Adam William!"Josiah's eyes clouded over heavy and he glanced at Jeremy Radford. "Is Mr. Radford insisting that I spoke without thinking?"Cold sweat instantly broke out on Jeremy's forehead as he

Chloe clenched her jaw tightly and smiled bitterly. "I didn't go to acting school, and the William family is the only place I can come to whenever I have a problem because they are my family."The corners of Lewis' mouth curled up into a proud smile. "Your family? Don't humor me, Chloe. If you care so much about the William family, you should've divorced your loser husband and married someone wealthier a long time ago!""You are nothing but a darn hypocrite! And the last thing our William family needs is a hypocrite!"He gripped her jaw tightly and violently pushed her to the ground.He sensed he was in danger and instinctively rushed to Adam's side.When he stood beside Adam, his eyes darkened in anger, realizing he had sprinted away from her just because he was scared of what Ethan would do to him.His eyes met with Ethan's, and the corners of his lips hooked into a triumphant smile."Did you come all the way here just to beg for alms? If that's all, then you should leave before I a

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master

As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi

In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr

Knowing he was the most influential person in Wexford at the moment, Ethan hadn’t cleared out the restaurant since it’d attract attention. But a quick glance around the restaurant and Fitzroy and Annie Ashworth found the group they were looking for. However, they didn’t take another step forward and performed a practiced salute with a serious look on their faces. This sudden action of theirs stunned the other customers.“Who are those and what are they doing?” “Is it some kind of ritual? Or are they filming a movie? I don’t see a camera anywhere though.” “That salute… are they in the army? Does that mean there’s a high ranking army official in our midst right now?” “No way! I heard the Commander is in Wexford. Could they be saluting him? Does that mean he’s in the same room as me?” “Hey, that is too far off. Look at their clothes. It doesn’t look ordinary. That insignia, isn’t that the royal family’s?” “What do you know? Don’t you know members of the royal family of Wexford se
Chapter 265
Because the top men the Wellington family controlled never came out unless it was a serious situation, Declan had Marvin Phelps send his best men to protect him. With the dozens of men crawling around every inch of his home, he finally felt at ease.That evening, Butler Ambrose walked into the living room to remind him of something. “Master, your date with Annie Ashworth of the royal family is in one hour. Do you have any orders for me?” Declan unhurriedly patted the armrest, a thoughtful look on his face. Ever since his father fell into coma, they had been talks. And he could feel the resolves of the families backing them wavering. But after using Marvin Phelps to remind them whom the Wellington family were, they didn’t dare think of stabbing him the back. However, that bastard suddenly decided to show up and it became impossible to shut their wagging tongues. Families were now openly opposing him when they realized he kept losing to Ethan somehow. Putting him in the middle

Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit
