The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 210
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

Claire walked up to Chloe’s room after she was done talking to Ethan. When she didn’t find her there, she waltzed over to Honey’s and sure enough, Chloe had just finished bathing her and was leading her into the room with her pink towel wrapped around her body.“Something happened today when I went out with the butler.” Chloe and Honey paused to see where the voice was coming from only to see Claire sitting on the bed. “When did you come in, Aunt Claire?” Honey asked, her eyes lighting up happily. Claire smiled at her gently and got up from the bed, “When you were having your bathe.” Then she leaned on the wall and watched Chloe pick out clothes for Honeys.“So I met this woman in the mall. She said she would like to sign me to her modeling agency. I said no at first until she told me I could be a freelance model and do whatever I want.” “The company wouldn’t force me to do jobs I don’t want and I could take a leave of absence anytime I wanted.” “I thought it was too good to be

In the William Family House Adam walked down the stairs to see the entire William family assembled in the living room. Lewis paced to and fro as he impatiently bit down on his nails and waited for his grandfather to come down. Adam stopped on the second stairs down and frowned slightly. “What is this? Why is everyone gathered here?” Someone raised her head and said hesitantly, “Didn’t you call for a meeting, family head?” Adam’s frown hardened and he glared at the person, “If I did, would I still be asking what you’re doing here?” Scared speechless, the person hurriedly lowered her face to the floor and said nothing else. Lewis stopped pacing around and spoke up, “I called them here, grandfather. They deserve to know what’s going on.” “What is going on? Did something happen that we are not aware of?” Another person asked. Without waiting for Adam to speak like he always did, Lewis nodded and turned to address them. “As you all know, Matilda invited my grandfather and I to a

For the next few days, Lewis frequented the estate to meet with Chloe, but was always turned away right from the first gate. The security men answered solely to Ethan, so Chloe had no idea what was happening. And as he drove her to work every morning, he rolled up the windows and made sure to drive past Lewis when she wasn’t looking. By the time Lewis would realize he saw the Jesko and chase after it, the security men with him would hold him down. This continued until the day of Honey’s competition. It was a weekend which meant no work for Chloe. That morning, the entire family dressed in their best outfit and drove over to her school. “W-wow! I didn’t know Honey’s school was as big as this!” Scott didn’t believe his eyes when he saw the gigantic building. “Why would you know? All you know how to do is drink, gamble and leave debts for us to clear for you!” Matilda snorted beside him. “Hey, how many times do you need me to tell you I no longer drink and gamble, you darn woman!

Charles gulped down fearfully and shook his head in reply. Chloe didn’t notice what just happened and held Ethan’s arm as she laughed curtly, “Don’t be like that, Ethan. Mr. Wilkins was just asking a question. Charles hurriedly waved her aside apologetically, “Forgive me, Mrs. Black, I didn’t stop to think how unreasonable my question was. I should’ve listened to my folks and gotten married years ago.”He said the last sentence in a mumble, but Chris and Penelope heard him loud and clear. Claire had found their seat and waited for them to return for several minutes, when she didn’t see them, she got up to look for them. “Chloe, why are you still standing? The competition will be starting soon!” Claire half-shouted when she found them and began hurrying over to where they were standing. She failed to notice the man standing in front of her until after a few seconds. “Charles Wilkins!” She almost screamed, but quickly clamped her mouth shut with her palms when she recalled where

“B-bully? Did you just call me a bully?” The boy was stunned for a moment that he couldn’t help but stutter in disbelief. Seeing this, Honey’s body reacted. She bent over and crept out from under him before sprinting out of the restroom.However, she bumped into someone. A memory flashed past her eyes and the hairs on the back of her neck stood erect on its end in fear recalling what happened the last time she bumped into someone. She gulped down and hurriedly stepped backward in fear. “Honey? You took so long. I thought something had happened and was coming to check up on you.” Honey heard the familiar voice and her racing heart gradually slowed down before she raised her eyes to look at the person. When she saw the familiar face, she beamed happily, “Aunty Claire?” A pang of guilt hit Claire when she saw the initial fear on Honey’s face. Clearly, bumping into her had brought back memories from the day at the supermarket. She was silent for a moment before she bent over and pu

Honey was stunned by the accusation. When she looked up and saw the boy’s father glowering hard at her, she shuddered and turned to Chloe in fear. Chloe frowned and held her tightly to herself before raising her eyes to look at the little boy. When the boy saw the doubt in Chloe’s eyes, he turned to his father and pointed at his right cheek which had a red, handprint on it. “You don’t believe me? Look at my cheek, daddy She even hit me!” His father, who didn’t doubt him for a second at first, was even more enraged when he saw the hand print on his son’s face. He hadn’t seen it at first, but he didn’t hesitate to look for the girl who bullied his son after his son came up to tell him he was bullied in the restroom by a girl. He placed a hand akimbo on his waist and pointed an annoyed finger at Chloe. “What are you still waiting for? Hand your daughter to me so I can teach her a lesson for being a bully!” Chloe didn’t respond to him. Instead, she lowered her eyes to Honey who h

Luke Marshall’s face paled immediately in fright. Before he could say anything to defend himself, the parents around took it up and began whispering to themselves in disbelief. “What did she say? Such a thing happened?” “If a waitress in the hotel really says so, then I bet it’s true.” “What are you two talking about?” “Luke Marshall tried to force himself on a waitress in Pearl Hotel and got blacklisted from the hotel because of it.” “I bet he pleaded guilty in a closed court and agreed to settle, so the hotel wouldn’t leak the news to the public.” “That might actually be true. I heard of this back then. But I didn’t think it was true since the chairman of Pearl Hotel said nothing about it. So it’s really true?” “Obviously. To think I held him in such high esteem before this.” “My daughter is close with his children and I sometimes let her go over to his place to play with them. Someone who does such a thing is likely to do so to children too, right?” “Now that I think of it

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

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
