The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 18
"Boss? You're delusional if you think this little show of strength can cripple the Kendrick family. When we come for you two, Ethan Black won't be able to protect himself, let alone protect you." Jonas immediately laughed out in mockery."The Kendrick family has been existing for decades and will continue to exist. Unfortunately for you, you'll be the last of your lineage!""Why the silence? If physical strength were more important than wealth, numerous families would prioritize it. So don't be fooled into believing someone as wretched as him can be your master, provided you do everything he asks. It's not too late for the Kendrick family to accept you back. All you have to do is do away with this wretched eyesore right here and now!" Eric spat out in a venomous tone.A short silence ensued. It was during this time that a thoughtful Ethan reasoned out loud, "The Kendrick family has been around for decades, and you're barely a first-tier family? That's embarrassing."Eric's face turned

When Chloe arrived at the Kendrick family house and saw their gate pulled down with Ethan's car in the middle of the compound, she became even more flustered.Ethan had caused such a scene; given what she knew about them, they'd never let this slide.So, when she rushed into the living room and saw someone pointing a revolver at Ethan, she panicked and called out to him, "Ethan!"Before she could blink, she saw the man with the revolver shift it towards her. Her brain instinctively issued a command for her to close her eyes.Even though she hadn't been shot before, she had watched numerous movies and heard about the experiences of people who have been shot before. From their experiences, it was a pain worse than death.She had her eyelids tightly pressed together, awaiting the pain. But one second turned into ten, and she slowly peeled her eyes open to see why she was yet to feel the effect of the bullet.Ethan's gentle smile as he towered over her was the first thing her eyes met."E

"Ah!" Jonas screamed in agony as blood spilled from the bullet wound on his thigh. Steven had shot his broken leg."Whatever you think you're doing, stop it! Right now!" Eric ordered sternly and tried to move toward his son, but Steven pressed the other revolver to the side of his head again."You don't seem to get it, do you? Right now, I'm the one everyone should listen to because I've got the gun," Steven said coldly."If Jonas doesn't get immediate medical attention, he'd bleed to death. Let's halt whatever this is until we are certain he'd be fine," Eric gritted his teeth worriedly, glancing at his son who was writhing in pain."That is none of my business, Eric. In fact…"Steven placed both revolvers on the floor, kicked one towards Jonas, and the other to Eric's foot."Pick up the revolvers and aim them at yourselves. The first person to pull the trigger lives," he announced with a broad smile."You don't know what you're doing, Steven. Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Ethan frowned at her action and was about to slide his arm out when he heard her whisper, "Please cooperate."Her voice was unlike the haughty one he knew, and she was gripping his arm tightly. Claire William, who had an ever-sharp mouth, was panicking."Claire, I see you came with your boyfriend. I failed to inform everyone in the group chat early. Hope it wasn't inconvenient for you?" Elizabeth Hatcher feigned concern as she held the arm of a man.The Hatcher family was a wealthy family in Springdale, popularly known for being number one in the real estate business.Cole Hatcher was said to refurbish any house given to him into something even better and branded. Hence, both the buyers and the previous owners of the house were always satisfied whenever he made a sale.Having him as a real estate agent was said to be the best thing to happen to anyone looking for a house.Being his daughter, Elizabeth had a lot of influential people doting on her and always wanting to do things for he

"Th-that's just too much to ask for!" Claire was taken aback by his demand.She disliked Ethan and used any opportunity she got to mock him, but it didn't sit well with her seeing an outsider say such words to her sister's husband.“What do you say is too much to ask for? Someone like him should be grateful Mr. Green is giving him the pleasure of touching his shoes!” Anna Clifford snickered.One or two times in high school, everyone standing opposite Claire had felt oppressed by her. Now, seeing that she had amounted to nothing in life, no one bothered to stand up for her.Elizabeth saw an opportunity to humiliate Claire and smirked.“What are you waiting for? Tell your brother-in-law to hurry it up. If he cleans well, Wells might consider employing him to clean shoes for him. It might sound like a mediocre job, but he'll earn two times the amount a soldier makes in a month.”Seeing Ethan made no move to do what he asked, Wells raised a brow. “You won't do it? Fair enough. Then I gues

"What is going on here?" an authoritative voice asked from the hotel’s entrance, halting the actions of the security guards and drawing everyone's attention to its owner.Wells quickly recognized and hurried to him."Mr. Webber, what are you doing here? Is my father around?" He sounded jittery as he kept staring behind his father's assistant."No, he isn't." David Webber's reply was a little cold and not at all like what everyone had expected him to sound like given he was talking to the son of his boss.He didn't spare Wells another glance as he strolled past him to the receptionist’s desk."Where is the hotel manager?" He asked her."He was having a meeting with Mr. Wilkins earlier today before he suddenly left to do something." Replied the receptionist, and Wells immediately scoffed."So, Mr. Wilkins is right here in the hotel. You have no idea how scary the Wilkins family can be when they find out there's someone claiming to be one of them!"David Webber frowned slightly and turne

There was a pin-drop silence in the entire room as everyone watched as Charles took the piece of paper.Almost immediately, a group of people with briefcases walked out of the elevator and towards Charles. They didn't need to introduce themselves for people to know they were the Wilkins family lawyers.Charles quickly read through the contract before he reached out his hand and was immediately handed a pen by Levi.He found a chair and placed the contract on it then signed.“This is the hotel transfer agreement. I asked them to make it as simple as possible.” He handed it over to Ethan once he was done.Ethan didn't bother to read the words on the agreement and directly signed something under the place provided for his signature.Charles took back the piece of paper and was a little surprised to see what Ethan had written, but he didn't dwell much on it as he handed it directly to the lawyers behind Levi.It took a few minutes before the transfer was done, and in those few minutes, a

Suite 1212, Pearl Hotel, was occupied by the Wilton twins.“Did you hear? Yesterday evening, Monty Green's son offended someone he shouldn't have. Charles Wilkins happened to be there and surprisingly on this stranger's side. Long story short, this hotel is no longer owned by the Wilkins family.”Preston revealed, walking into his sister's room with his tablet.“Hotels change ownership every now and then; it's nothing surprising.” Priscilla sat in front of her study desk, in her pajamas, going through the Wilton family's company financial report for the past few months.“I said the same too until I saw this.” He dropped the tablet in front of her.Priscilla paused what she was doing and took up the tablet seeing the words written in bold, “The Green family declares bankruptcy and seems to have disappeared overnight.”She glanced at him. “What is the story?”Preston reached out and scrolled down to the comment sections.“I was there yesterday. At first, I thought the man was in trouble

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
