The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 193
Ethan's voice was low and gentle, only heard by Moore Michigan.The elderly man's eyes, which were half shut due to his age, suddenly widened in shock, and his lips quivered in disbelief.However, before he could react, Paul rudely snatched the worn-out box from Ethan's hand and opened it directly. None of the gifts had been opened that evening.So it was obvious he was trying to ridicule Ethan's cheap gift. He scoffed in disbelief when he saw the mud-covered object in the box."What is this? Is the Michigan family a joke to you? How dare you mock my grandfather by gifting him a mud-covered item as a present? I ought to kill you for being so insolent!"The guests craned their necks to confirm if what he said was true."A mud-covered item? Are you sure it's a mud-covered item and not a mold of mud he put in the box? This is an insult to your esteemed family, Paul! Don't let him get away with it!""I agree. He could've played along with his family and agreed he didn't bring any present

Everyone froze.It was no news that the Michigan family had a long history with the Wilkins family, even though the Michigans were slightly beneath them.They helped each other out in times of need and never fought about anything.So why would Charles Wilkins suddenly threaten to kill Paul, not just in front of so many people, but in front of his grandfather?It was equivalent to him trying to draw a line between his family and that of Moore's.Moore loved his grandson more than anything and had cut off ties with people who hurt him in any way in the past. No matter what happened, whether his grandson was in the wrong or not, he always took his side.As expected, Paul's voice grew hoarse from screaming. He sat up and hurriedly crawled towards his grandfather. He grabbed his foot and lowered his head to the ground, weeping.Everyone glanced at the scene in front of them, eagerly waiting for Moore to react.However, instead of reacting the way they expected, Moore stretched both of his

“Yo-you can't do that! I've worked so hard to run the family company after you my whole life!" Paul seethed adamantly and tried to rush towards him. However, Charles grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, sneereing spitefully, “With everything you've done since the last two months, do you really think you're suitable enough to lead the Michigan family?" "I know I’m capable of doing so, so get your damn hands off me!" Paul exhaled heavily, struggling to get out of his grip all to no avail.He, however, stopped struggling when Moore was helped back into his wheelchair by the man who wheeled him around. Moore faced the guests, the expression on his face as serious as ever, but with a slight hint of melancholy in his eyes. "A few months ago, I was informed that my grandson, Paul, is mentally unstable. The diagnosis didn't sit well with me as I have personally nurtured him from when he was just a baby up until this point of his life. So I refused to believe it and asked the da

“What is it? Who's that person?" Seeing him silent, everyone became curious and began asking who he was. "He's an international runaway model. One of the highest paid models of all times. I know this because my younger daughter talks about him all the time and has his picture as wallpapers in her room." “In fact, she has his picture everywhere and writes his name everywhere. And surprisingly, there’s not much people in the world who bears the exact same name as him.” "If he's one of the highest paid models of all times, doesn't that mean he's very wealthy? Why would he be working as a butler?" Someone suddenly asked. Lewis immediately snorted and added, "Most importantly, why would he be working as a butler for a family like theirs?" "And correct me if I’m wrong, but can one have a butler if they don't have a house in the first place? If you ask me, I'll say this kid is lying!" Honey had seen Lewis so many times in the past and was always frightened by him. So having him suddenl

That night in Ethan’s residenceThe day was unnecessarily stressful. So everyone settled in to sleep as soon as they had dinner. Chloe was going through a novel while Ethan was making his bed to sleep on the couch when they suddenly heard Matilda screaming in the corridor. Chloe dropped the novel and tried to get off the bed when Ethan said he’d check what was going on, so she climbed up again and waited. Ethan walked outside to see Matilda pacing to and fro in the corridor and asked calmly, “Is anything the matter, mother-in-law? I just put Honey to sleep an hour ago, I’m afraid you’d wake her if you keep raising your voice.” Matilda walked back to him and screamed angrily, “Everything’s the matter! Why should Scott William get a master bedroom while I get an ordinary room?” Ethan kept a straight face as he retorted, “The room isn’t just for him. It’s to be shared amongst you two. Just like Chloe and I share a room.” “What nonsense is that? Why would a share a room with someone

Matilda woke up very early the following day. Chloe heard her humming happily as she walked down the stairs. When she got to the living room, she found her perched on a couch reading a book. She was too far to see what book it was. “Mother, are you reading the Bible?” Claire’s voice suddenly came out of nowhere. Then Chloe saw her hurry into the living room from the stairs opposite. Matilda raised her eyes to look at Claire and beamed happily. “Do you know there’s a place that talks about how the wicked will not go unpunished and how the righteous will uh…” Matilda was saying, but trailed off as she forgot what she had just read. Before Claire could say anything, she hurriedly added, “Where I want to point out is how it says the wicked will not go unpunished. It made me remember the William family.” “They treated us so badly and threatened to take away that shabby house they gave us for so many years.” “Your grandfather finally chased us out of the house thinking we’d rot in t

45 minutes ago when Kane walked into his office, the man had been arrogant and threatened to break his legs if he didn’t leave. But after he called for his men downstairs and none came running to him, he quickly realized there was something wrong. So he ordered the men in the room with to attack Kane only for them to have their fingers broken by him. That was when he realized he was in grave danger and tried to run away, but Kane threatened to break his legs if he moved. So he remained on his chair, stupefied and unable to plead for his life as he was too scared to. Hearing Ethan’s words intensified his fear. His knees buckled and dropped to the floor immediately. “Forgive me. Forgive me, sir. I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life and I do not know which of them I’m being punished for.” “But please forgive me. I’ll change my ways and I’ll never return to this way. Please spare me this one time. Please!” Ethan clenched his jaw tightly and glanced around the room before he le

Like the security personnel said, every other security they came across made way for them without asking any question. They drove for over 10 minutes before they got to the end of the estate. The sun was still shining brightly which made the air, but the chilly river at the back of the house dissolved the hot atmosphere and welcomed them as soon as they alighted from the bus. Lewis gulped down hard and stared in front of him in disbelief when he saw the magnificent building. However, he suddenly snickered and slipped his hands into his pockets. “This is where they now live? Impossible! What does she take us for?” “Mrs. William, your guests have arrived. Please have a wonderful evening.” Lewis tore his eyes away from the house and shifted it to the security personnels who were supposedly greeting Matilda. “Thank you so much for bringing them. I will have the butler bring you refreshments to thank you for your hard work!” “No, you don’t have to, ma’am.” “Please accept it as a t

Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You
Chapter 273
In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

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
