The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 121
Ethan didn't know who the man with Violet was, but as an engaged woman, she wouldn't be bold enough to show up in public holding hands with another man.So he just concluded he was her fiancé, Vincent Dutchman.Vincent Dutchman brazenly stepped into the limelight and twirled himself around as he looked into the faces of those close to him."Why, you may ask? Look around you. This place is filled with most of the wealthy and famous people in Springdale.""He's not famous and he's definitely not from a rich family, so how did he come in here?"Violet cleared her throat noisily and glared at Ethan."Didn't you hear him? Tell everyone where you got the invitation you showed the guards at the door because they wouldn't have let you in without you showing them an invitation!"The girls who had been outside with Violet immediately stepped forward and chipped in, "That's true. When we saw him lurking outside the parking lot, he didn't have an invitation.""If he had an invitation card he woul

His response got everyone talking, and the loudest voice belonged to Vincent."What? You do not have an invitation? How did you get in then? I'm pretty sure the security men at the front would never let anyone in without confirming your invitation card," Vincent exclaimed."I didn't say I didn't give them an invitation to confirm. I said I'm not with it," Ethan nonchalantly rephrased.Vincent's brow furrowed into an annoyed frown. "If you gave them your invitation card, then you should be with it. What the hell are you saying?""I was with it, but I don't remember putting it back into my pocket when I walked past them. I think I've forgotten it somewhere," Ethan kept saying, not looking the least bothered that his nonchalant replies were getting on Vincent's nerves.Seeing Vincent get angry, Violet turned and violently slammed her palm on the table next to her. "Ethan Black! Is this all some kind of joke to you?""Because of you, Mr. Reese totally misunderstood my fiancé's intentions

Andy sighed deeply."Yes, Commander. Hamon knows you took his grandson, and it's common knowledge he doesn't play with this particular grandson of his. Doesn't matter what he has to do to get him back and get back at you."Ethan finally grasped what was going on."So let me get this straight. The security camera right outside the hall's exit has cameras which caught me staring at the child for two minutes, and his grandfather thinks I took his boy?""Yes, Commander. The moment you walked past Tyrion, the camera went blank, and by the time it was restored, the boy was missing along with the other children who were with him."Andy paused, realizing he was doing a lot of explaining. Why was the Commander sounding like he had no idea what was going on? The security footage clearly showed that he took Tyrion. Was he mistaken, or did Ethan really take Tyrion and was just denying it?Andy was still trying to figure out what was happening when Ethan's voice came up in his ear."I don't know w

The night sky brightened up in just a few hours. Matilda left her room to get coffee from the kitchen. On her way back, she saw Chloe and Ethan walking out of the house."Good morning, Mom," Chloe greeted when her eyes met Matilda's.Matilda looked like she wanted to say something, but she reined it in and just hummed in reply to Chloe's greeting. Then sauntered back to her room."I think my mother is finally starting to like you," Chloe chuckled as she proceeded out of the house with Ethan.Ethan only had one helmet, so he helped Chloe wear it.It was his first time wearing it on someone else. So he took his time to make sure it was sitting securely on Chloe's head before backing away from her.Chloe hurriedly climbed the bike, thankful that she was wearing a helmet which hid her rosy turned cheeks.When Ethan helped her put her helmet on, she didn't know why, but her heart was beating crazily. Maybe she was falling sick and didn't know it.Ethan didn't know what was going through Ch

Josiah did as instructed; he made sure the news got to the ears of the people it was meant for, and he used words these people would understand without giving too much away.Daniel Voltia didn't react at first when he heard the news.Ethan was sitting on the swivel chair in his office at Astoria Corporation when Kane called him."Commander, did you ask Daniel Voltia to keep watch over your wife and daughter?""Why would I? You're already doing it," Ethan replied.Hearing him, Kane reported, "I don't know how he did it, but three of his men are working as security guards in Honey's school just this afternoon, and four others are lurking around the school pretending to be passersby.""Then there are also three new security guards in Pearl Hotel, and there are also four men outside posing as passersby.""A bold way to tell others whose side he is on. Keep an eye on them and don't let them know you're watching them.""Okay, Commander."As the call ended, the door to his office was pushed

Once it was a few minutes to 6pm, Ethan abandoned every other thing he had going on and rode back to the house. Claire had dressed up Honey and herself. Despite coming in late and even changed into fresh clothes, he still had to wait an additional ten minutes for Matilda to finish dressing herself. "We're not going to a fashion parade or anything. Why are you decked in luxurious clothes and why are you putting on so many jewelries?" Claire couldn't help but ask when she saw Matilda walk out shining. The woman had spent more than an hour meticulously dressing herself up for a mere dinner. "We're going to eat in Pearl Hotel. You have no idea who we'll encounter there, it's only right that I dress like this so that whoever I come across, whether a stranger or someone I've always known will know I'm no longer the Matilda they used to know." "I'm now Matilda Brown, the mother of Chloe William who's the assistant manager of Pearl Hotel! Whether they like it or not, they'll need to acco

Inside one of the hotel rooms on the second floor of the Pearl Hotel, Matilda threw her phone at Claire and quickly held her cutlery."Here, I want you to take unaware pictures of me when I'm eating steak. I want it to be as natural as possible, so don't tell me before you take the picture."Claire collected the phone and got up, standing in different angles to get good shots."Why didn't dad come with you?" Chloe couldn't hold it any longer and voiced out.Her question was meant for Claire, but Matilda snorted loudly."Your loser father is always busy drinking himself to stupor somewhere or gambling. Besides, I'm already humiliated when the sisters I play cards with mention what kind of loser he is.""I would rather the ground open and swallow me if I let such a disgrace come with me to a place like this where any of my sisters could stumble upon him."Chloe's grip on the spoon she was feeding Honey with tightened, but she said nothing else in reply.After taking more than a hundred p

The room suddenly fell silent as everyone gazed at the car key in disbelief. However, Joffrey Bolton snorted and snatched the key from Ethan. He held it up to his eyes, turning it around to have a better look at it before he sneered. "What is this? Do you think we're children that you can easily fool? The Koenigsegg Jesko is a sports car, and it's not hidden knowledge that most cars are automatic.""I've driven the Koenigsegg Jesko before, and it was without a key. If there was a slot for a key, then I would know." Rose folded her hands underneath her bosom and snickered, "Chloe William, is your husband really trying to fool adults like us by acting like a rich man? He really has no shame!"Leonard stretched his hand towards Joffrey, who dropped the keys in his palm. He stared down at it for a long time before he carelessly tossed it on the table."This is really a Koenigsegg Jesko's car key. Some old versions of the Jesko work with a key like every other normal car, but even cars

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
