The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 131
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

Ethan and Kane walked into the museum seconds after he gave Kane that order.The museum, as usual, was filled with numerous people going about their businesses.No one paid attention to the two men who walked into the museum and straight into the elevator. Neither did they notice that the elevator was going down, not up.The elevator stopped and opened directly to a similar vast hall like the museum atop it.As soon as Ethan and Kane stepped out of the elevator, some burly men blocked their path.Kane was about to kick them down when they suddenly stepped out of the way."He doesn't even check IDs. He must have a good way to keep track of his debtors," Kane murmured as he walked past the men with Ethan.Ethan said nothing and stopped in the middle of the room, scanning every corner with his eyes.The hall was enormous and long. At what seemed to be the end of the hall was a glass barricade.Whatever or whoever was behind it couldn't be seen by people in this room, but Ethan was sure t

"What? He lost $20,000 worth of chips to Bob the Robber?""What is he still doing sitting at that table? Bob will milk him dry before he knows it!""Who cares if Bob milks him? He walked into a gambling den to gamble, knowing fully well he knows nothing about gambling. He deserves whatever he's getting.""Right? My only regret is that I didn't see him come in. Otherwise, I'd be the one sitting across from him, not Bob. A pity that is."The small crowd that had surrounded Ethan and Bob the Robber's table chatted amongst themselves upon seeing Ethan lose his chips to his opponent.Ethan leaned back in the chair and watched the wistful smile on Bob's face as he stared at the glittering cold chips in front of him.He stared at it for a long time before shifting his eyes to Ethan, whom he found staring at him.It didn't surprise him that Ethan had his eyes pinned on him. He was just surprised he didn't see any contempt in his eyes.Any reasonable person who lost such an enormous amount of

Ethan was directed to the table of another professional gambler; Bran Garret. Some gamblers who watched him gamble with Bob followed suit. Without saying a word to his opponent, Ethan pushed every one of his chips to the center of the table. Someone whispered something in Bran's ear and he pushed in everything he had won for the day towards the center of the table. The card dealer shared their cards and Ethan picked up his. He stared at it unblinkingly for several minutes without making a move. "This is the man Bob the Robber lost to? That's disappointing." Bran Garret said in contempt as several minutes went by with Ethan still staring at his cards keenly.Another gambler standing beside Brandon nodded in confirmation."That's what the other gamblers are saying. They say they watched Bob beat him more than ten times, but in the end, he lost everything he won tonight to him." "The amount of gold he's betting with also confirms that they weren't bluffing." Brandon Garret was a h

"I swear I did nothing of that sort! I've been here the whole time, Mr. Garrett. I swear it!" The card dealer hurriedly replied, her voice trembling in fear as she spoke.Bran didn't release his grip on her immediately. He held her by the collar for a few more seconds and asked, "So you're trying to tell me he somehow managed to have such a wonderful hand?"The card dealer nodded vigorously, her eyes darting around the place in fear.Bran pushed her aside and turned his eyes back to Ethan who still had a composed look on his face and snorted in disdain."So you think I'll believe you didn't cheat, eh? Someone who lost to Bob the Robber ten consecutive times beat me on my first round with him.""You should've asked the dealer to hold on for a little longer so you could've effortlessly fooled everyone here."Ethan retorted unprovoked, "If I wanted to buy my wins, I would've paid all top ten gamblers here in advance to let me win.""Yes, you could've. Unless you wanted to make it look li

Victor Voss paused for a split second then swung the golf club at Scott William again.Scott's face forcefully tilted to the side, and another deep cut appeared on his face, just beside his mouth."Please, Mr. Voss, give me more time, and I swear to you that I won't fail you. If I fail you, then you are free to do whatever you want with me!" Scott frantically begged, sputtering out a mouthful of blood as he spoke.Victor glanced at Scott's desperate, bloodshot eyes for a moment and chuckled to himself."Even without your promise, I know you will bring back my money. What I'm doing right now is to ensure you don't take too long.""Whenever you look in the mirror and see the cuts on your face, you'll remember what will happen to you if I find you and you don't have my money."He was getting ready to swing the club at Scott again when one of his men voiced out behind him, "Pardon me for the interruption, Mr. Voss, but this man came in four hours ago.""He claimed to be an amateur, but he

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
