The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 203
Chloe’s tired eyes which were half-way closed, flew open and took in the sight before her. Honey was scared seeing the strangers in their house and scurried closer to her mother. Chloe bent slightly and scooped her into her arms protectively. She didn’t remember Matilda had invited people from the party last night. She raised her eyes to meet Matilda’s and asked solemnly, “Mother, what is going on? Who are these people and what are they doing in our house?” Before Matilda could reply, Lewis leaned away from the wall and sneered in contempt. “What is this? Is your entire family really trying to deceive us into thinking you own this house? How shameless!” The guests believed him without thinking twice and and lashed out at Matilda. “Mrs. Miller, unlike you, we have better things to do than stay in a house belonging to someone else. Hurry up and hold up to your own end of the bargain by slapping yourself across the face until Lewis William is satisfied!”“Yes, do that! I’ve heard

The words were yet out of his mouth when Lewis sneered in disgust. “What? You’ll call the Minister? What kind of joke is that?!” “If you wish to lie, at least say something believable. The Minister isn’t someone just anyone can see, you fool!” Adam, who had been silent the whole time, huffed and stepped forward. “You say we will slap ourselves in the face if you call the minister and she does come to verify the authenticity of the signature on the deed of the house, but what will you do if you can’t bring her?” Lewis didn’t wait for Ethan to answer and huffed, “I know, grandfather. Claire and Aunt Matilda will hand over the gifts they took from Charles Wilkins. Then you’ll also slap yourselves in the face to our satisfaction!” Adam hummed in approval, “That sounds right.” Matilda panicked and grabbed Ethan’s shirt roughly. “What do you think you’re doing? We can’t give them the gifts from Charles Wilkins for any reason because they are Claire’s betrothal gifts!” Chloe turned to

Lewis hissed and took the phone down when he heard the call disconnect tone. “Tsk! This cunt hung up. She probably realized she’s been caught impersonating the minister!” Adam clasped his hands behind him and sneered at Ethan in disgust. “Not only did you lie to your wife and her family into believing this house is yours, you’re now trying to trick grown-up like us into believing you just called the minister. Have you no shame, Ethan Black?!” One of the guests stepped forward and harrumphed impatiently. “I can’t stand his shamelessness any longer. Why don’t we talk to the security in front? I’m sure they will be more than happy to know they’ve been treating the wrong people as the owner of this house!” Others nodded in agreement. “Yes, I agree. They’ll be able to drag him out and put him in his place better than we can.” Honey shuddered and wrapped her arms even tighter around Chloe’s neck.“Mommy, these strangers are scary. Are they street thugs? I don’t want them in our hous

“Wh-what? Are you sure that’s him?” “Are your eyes not working? I’m holding up a picture of him on my phone and you’re looking at him, yet you still ask if I’m sure?” “It’s him. It’s really him everybody. There’s no mistaken him!” Lewis drew his lips into a thin line and walked up to the person holding up his phone. “Don’t tell such a joke. How can it be him? If it’s him, doesn’t that mean this house really belongs to this pathetic Ethan?” However, as soon as he laid eyes on the man on the photo, he went mute. The guest whose phone had been snatched from him, took it back and huffed in annoyance. “Are you eyes not functioning too? This man in the photo and the one standing before us are the same person!” Lewis still refused to believe as he gnashed his teeth and shook his head in denial. “I-impossible! That’s impossible!” “Chloe, how could you be so bold to hire a man who looks like Joshua Mendes just to fool us into believing this house is really yours?”Claire dropped the b

Everyone turned to see a group of men in black suit and dark sunshades hurriedly walking towards them with a serious look on their faces. When they got to the front, they halted and made a path in their midst. Only then did everyone see a sophisticated woman who seemed to be in her late 20s walking forward majestically. She was wearing a stylish, form-fitting black suit that featured a double-breasted blazer with prominent gold buttons. The blazer had a structured design, emphasizing her waist and giving her a sleek, tailored look. Accompanied with it was a matching black trouser. It was high-waisted, long, and flared out slightly towards the bottom, elongating her legs. She completed the outfit with pointed black shoes that peeked out from underneath the trousers. She wore her long, dark hair loose letting it cascade down her side. Matilda would’ve been the first to ask who she was and what she was doing in their house if she wasn’t scared by the frightening men in suit behind

Everyone instantly fell silent. Lewis blinked his eyes numerous times before he huffed shamelessly, “Slap ourselves on the face, you say.” “Does that mean you will heartlessly stand by as your father-in-law slaps himself on the face to your satisfaction?” “What?” Matilda didn’t know when she blurted out in surprise. “What? Are you that heartless you will really insist that your father-in-law who is old and feeble slap himself on the face?” Matilda clenched her teeth tightly unable to come up with anything to defend herself with. Seeing she had gone quiet, Lewis grew even bolder. “You’re not saying anything which means you will! Do you even have a conscience, Matilda Brown?!” Seeing his blackmail was working, the guests quickly added fuel to the fire to save their selves too. “You’re even worse than I thought you were.” “Poor man. Other people have daughter-in-laws who protect them, but he has one that wants him to slap himself in the face right in front of so many people.”

Her assistant raised his eyes and cautiously reminded her, “Minister Montgomery, weren’t they just talking about some kind of bargain? Apparently, it has something to do with them slapping themselves on the face.” Lewis, who was still reeling from the shock of what she said to him, instinctively refuted him through clenched teeth. “What are you talking about? How does the bargain we had have anything to do with you?” Claire placed a hand akimbo on her waist and scoffed, “What do you mean, Lewis? You should keep to your own end of the bargain by…” Lewis didn’t wait for her to finish as he instantly cut her off by shouting, “Shut your darn mouth, Claire William! Do you even have a conscience? How could you keep insisting that our grandfather slap himself on the face just to satisfy your ego?!” Claire was taken aback by his words as she also found it unproper that her grandfather was to slap himself. No matter what, Adam was her grandfather. So it naturally didn’t sit well with her

Ethan happened to hear her question as he walked in, but instead of hearing the minister retort, he heard her assistant’s voice instead. “Mr. Black purchased the most expensive and luxurious house in Springdale. Surely, the Minister of House and Land Manager had to personally oversee it.” Matilda placed a finger on her chin and went silent for a several seconds before she nodded. Of course, that could be the only reason she came. He nah have bought the most expensive house in Springdale, but he was just still a pauper since he spent all of his money in purchasing it. “So everything you did here, defending my family and I, is because my son-in-law bought the most expensive house in Springdale. So that’s how it is.” She didn’t lurk around any longer as she turned and walked up the stairs. Ethan got to Victoria Montgomery as soon as she left and hummed in appreciation, “Thank you for coming as soon as I called.” Earlier, she had been standing a little farther from him, so all she

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
