The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 126
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
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 129
At first, Chloe believed Honey, but after hearing the worth of the Koenigsegg Jesko mentioned, she had a rethink. Ethan hadn't told her the actual amount he bought the car for, but if he spent three million to get himself the Koenigsegg Jesko, he would have nothing else left to return back with. And from the look of things even though she was yet to check the account balance of the card he gave her, he returned with quite a lot of money given the small rank he had. So she found it very unlikely that the Koenigsegg Jesko being talked about was his. Honey could've mistaken someone else's car for her father's and Ethan could be doing this to save her some face in front of her former highschool classmates.While she was touched that he was willing to do that much for her, she didn't see any need for him to.But just before she could say anything, Claire who had gotten up with the others, beat her to it. "The Koenigsegg Jesko is Ethan's. I saw it as well on our way in, but I was too p

Ethan tilted his head to look at the room, which had suddenly quietened down.They were all gawking at him in disbelief.He stared at them for about five seconds before he turned his attention back to his front and locked the car again.Beep beep!"What is this?" Joffrey Bolton stuttered in disbelief."Leonard, didn't you say it's your car? How then are the keys to your Koenigsegg Jesko in the hands of this loser?""Did you lie to us? Did you claim to be who you're not so we'd respect you?" One of their high school former classmates chipped in.Leonard didn't think twice before shaking his head. "No, of course not. I have no reason to lie to you!""Now that I think of it. My driver might've told me of the Jesko having a key. I met him in the countryside. He was hardworking and he begged me for a job. No matter how small.""So I made him my driver. He's from the countryside and has rarely been in a proper motorcycle. Imagine how strange it was for him to see there was an automatic car?

Leonard didn't realize it, but as he tried to defend himself, he got up from his seat and slowly retreated towards the door.Kane had received an order from Ethan not to let Leonard leave without apologizing.From the look of things, it didn't seem like Leonard had apologized beforehand, so Kane did what he knew best.Coincidentally, it happened at the exact time Leonard was making reference to Josiah Haworth. Hence, the latter part of his sentence where he mentioned Josiah's name came out muffled and inaudible.Claire walked closer to where Leonard lay on the ground, and ignoring his painful grunts, huffed, "You were saying?"Leonard glared at her as he got up. "Wh-what do you think you're doing? This is assault!"Claire folded her hands underneath her bosom and sneered."It is, but what exactly can you do about it? Call the wealthy people you work on their cars to come help you? I've never heard of wealthy families caring whether their mechanical lives or dies."Leonard gritted his

The room went back to being quiet after Rose Goldberg, Leonard Chen, Joffrey Bolton, and Chloe's other two high school classmates left in shame.Claire was grinning from ear to ear, glad to have dealt with those eyesores, while Chloe tried to hide the joy she was feeling.Having that satisfaction of winning was a feeling she never thought she'd ever have again.It was at this moment that she checked her time and realized it had been a long time since Matilda went to the restroom.She was about to speak up about it when the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Matilda sauntered in."Mother, why did you take so long in the restroom?" Chloe asked, her voice etched with concern.Matilda lowered her eyes to the floor and briskly walked back to her seat, paying no heed to the four pairs of eyes on her.She still looked the same, calm even, at least to Chloe and Claire. But Ethan could see she was hyperventilating underneath her calm demeanor.His eyes flickered from one pa

"Chloe, don't let this bother you too much. It's not your fault if anything happens to your father. He knew whose gambling den he was gambling in belonged to and still went ahead to gamble in it and even took out loans.""Your father had this coming."Chloe whipped out her phone to call the police as she said, "I should call the police. If dad owes Victor Voss money, then all we need to do is negotiate with Victor to give dad some time to pay his debt."Matilda snatched the phone from her and threw it to the ground, then stomped on it numerous times until it shattered to pieces. Then she raised her eyes to meet Chloe's."I just told you Victor Voss is a dangerous man. A man no sane person wants to get involved with, talk more of getting on his bad side.""Yes, the police may be helpful, but what do you think will happen to our family if Victor happens to have a man working with the police?""Your father won't be the only one dying. All of us here, including your daughter, will die too

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

Scott William was instantly taken aback. Then he gritted his teeth in rage and resisted the urge to grab her by the collar as he yelled at her angrily. “What do you think you’re doing? He’s your son-in-law, how could you think of doing something so despicable to him!”“I know you’ve been looking for ways to get rid of him, but he’s having a psychotic breakdown? Matilda Brown, are you out of your mind?!” However, the woman ignored him and reached into her bag for a file. She placed it on the counter and continued speaking to the officer with a straight face. “Here. This is the result of the psych evaluation. You can check with the hospital he took it at just to be sure.” Scott closed the distance between them and grabbed her arm firmly, “If you have nothing better to do, then turn around and go back home.” “I know you’re scared of this affecting our family, but you don’t have anything to worry about because I’ll take care of this!” “Ethan didn’t do what they’re accusing him of

The sergeant and the other officers were slightly taken aback by his sudden compliance. Given that Charles and Kane were questioning their every word, they assumed they would have to use force to get him out of here. However, not only was he complying, but he was even flashing them a faint, non-aggressive smile. It was as though he had the situation under control which caused them to wonder why. They were yet to be reached by anyone from the higherups, so what was this guy doing. Since Ethan was coming with them willingly, there was no need to cuff him at all. So the sergeant nodded and led him to the station. The reception was decvoid of people, but those who were in their rooms before a few minutes ago, were all standing beside their windows watching who was getting arrested. Ethan walked to the passenger side of the car and glanced around him with an unbothered smile before proceeding to get in. In Wexford County, in the Wellington family residence, Declan Wellington was w

Ethan’s eyes darkened instantly. Almost immediately, he felt a call come into his phone and checked the caller to see it was Declan calling. He was silent for a few seconds before assured her calmly, “I’ll bring them back. Chloe and Honey, I’ll make sure they come back without a scratch.” “For now, focus on getting better. Neither of them would like it if return to see you in such a terrible state.” Then he ended the call without waiting for her response and answered Declan’s. As soon as the call connected, Declan’s bubbly voice sounded in his ears, “Your little bastard is a little too pretty. Truly her mother’s daughter.” “Your genes almost lost the fight, but her eyes saved you. Hopefully, if your other bastard lives, it would put up a fight to look exactly like you.” Ethan tightened his grip around his phone, but said nothing. He remained expressionless, but his eyes beamed furious. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything in really. Declan had truly blinded him from

Ethan didn’t react immediately. He was silent for several seconds before he responded. “You’re the highly esteemed head of the Welllington family. Why resort to threatening your enemy with somsone close to them when you can face them head on yourself?”Declan yawned boredly from the other end. “What nonsense are you talking about? My enemy? You? You really think I think of you as my enemy?” “In what world did you think a bastard like you is worthy of becoming an enemy of Declan Wellington?” “We may share the same father, but to me, you’re nothing more than a confused rat. Sure, you’ve spent a few years in the army and earned yourself a few lackeys, but vagrant like you should know their place.”“Simply talking to me is a privilege you should never have. Whatever I’ll make you go through is a privilege you don’t deserve. Even if I kill you, you should be grateful I let you die by my hands!”Ethan chuckled calmly and went on to reply. “I was told you sent one of the best men your

Meanwhile, Charles Wilkins was looking into the people who crashed into Claire’s car and took Chloe. He tracked them down to their base in a nightclub. The club had lax security. Hence, he wasn’t stopped by the hefty men standing the door as he walked into the club. It was a few minutes past 7 in the evening and the club was getting filled by people. He stood in the middle of the room and glanced around before he spotted the VIP section and strutted straight to it. It didn’t take him long to find the room of the club’s own given that there were six hefty bodyguards in front of the door. Inside the room, a short and fat man was sitting on the couch with two of his colleagues while watching three unclad ladies dancing on a strip poles. Because the music in the room was so loud, he didn’t hear the tussle outside and only realized something was wrong when an unfamiliar man walked into the room wiping his hands seemingly clean hands clean. Charles didn’t look at anyone as he

As soon as Lewis William ended the call, he stood over an unconscious Chloe with a lewd look in his eyes. Ever since he knew right from wrong, he was always told of her lucky he was to have such beautiful cousins. Had Chloe not fallen out of grace with the William family and most people in Springdale, he had no doubt his life would still be filled with words of how lucky he was to have Chloe and Claire as his cousins. He never saw the beauty everyone saw, but now that he was alone with her and could see her up close, he finally saw it. Was she not his cousin, he would’ve slept with her first before handing her over to this gallery director. As he walked out of the house, he received a call from somsone. “What do you think you’re doing? I clearly told you the person I am after is Claire William!” Vivian Martell yelled from the other end as soon as the call connected. Lewis sucked in a deep breath to keep himself from screaming back at her and retorted calmly, “There’s no need to

A minute later, Charles turned to Ethan and reported solemnly, “Mrs. Black wasn’t taken by Declan Wellington. She was taken by the William family.” In the William family residence. Adam William paced to and fro in the living room, his hands clasped behind his back and brows knitted together in worry. “Grandfather, after today, I will make sure our William family will no longer be looked down on by other families!” Those were the words Lewis said to him this morning before he left the house. Ever since Astoria Corporation pulled away their investment, other companies followed suit. They were not only knee-deep in debt, but every valuable thing in their house had been taken by the bank and everyone they were owing. They took everything ranging from jewelries, electronics and furnitures. Even the expensive looking lights were not left out. Adam had run to those whom he had helped when the William family were at its peak a few months ago, but they all hung up on him the moment th

He called her three times and each time, the phone wasn’t answered. There was no denying it now. Soenthing had really happened. His brows knitted into a tight frown as he switched to calling Claire. But just like Chloe, Claire didn’t answer her phone either. As soon as the third call ended, the screen of his phone lit up with a call from Claire and he eagerly answered it. “Where are you? I’ve been calling Chloe. Did something…” He was suddenly cut off by a voice that didn’t belong to Claire. “Hello, this phone belongs to a woman involved in a car accident. Seeing that your contact is saved with ‘Brother-in-law’ I thought it was wise to return your call.” His pupils instantly dilated and he strutted quickly to the window, away from Honey’s earshot.. He pressed the phone against his ear rig heed and repeated in disbelief, “Accident? She was involved in an accident? What about the other woman in the car with her? Is she badly injured? In fact, tell me which hospital you are!” In
