The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 264
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
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 265
Because the top men the Wellington family controlled never came out unless it was a serious situation, Declan had Marvin Phelps send his best men to protect him. With the dozens of men crawling around every inch of his home, he finally felt at ease.That evening, Butler Ambrose walked into the living room to remind him of something. “Master, your date with Annie Ashworth of the royal family is in one hour. Do you have any orders for me?” Declan unhurriedly patted the armrest, a thoughtful look on his face. Ever since his father fell into coma, they had been talks. And he could feel the resolves of the families backing them wavering. But after using Marvin Phelps to remind them whom the Wellington family were, they didn’t dare think of stabbing him the back. However, that bastard suddenly decided to show up and it became impossible to shut their wagging tongues. Families were now openly opposing him when they realized he kept losing to Ethan somehow. Putting him in the middle

Knowing he was the most influential person in Wexford at the moment, Ethan hadn’t cleared out the restaurant since it’d attract attention. But a quick glance around the restaurant and Fitzroy and Annie Ashworth found the group they were looking for. However, they didn’t take another step forward and performed a practiced salute with a serious look on their faces. This sudden action of theirs stunned the other customers.“Who are those and what are they doing?” “Is it some kind of ritual? Or are they filming a movie? I don’t see a camera anywhere though.” “That salute… are they in the army? Does that mean there’s a high ranking army official in our midst right now?” “No way! I heard the Commander is in Wexford. Could they be saluting him? Does that mean he’s in the same room as me?” “Hey, that is too far off. Look at their clothes. It doesn’t look ordinary. That insignia, isn’t that the royal family’s?” “What do you know? Don’t you know members of the royal family of Wexford se
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 1
The afternoon sun was at its peak when a midnight black Koenigsegg Jesko, sleek and extremely fast, drove into Springdale Ville. The windows of the car were tinted, but inside it was a man in a meticulously tailored military uniform behind the wheels.Seated in the passenger's seat was a man in a black shirt and matching khaki trousers.His build was sturdy, and there was a certain ruggedness in his features.Ethan Black held up an almost fading picture in his hand with a gentle look in his eyes. Six years ago, his family involved her in a feud that had nothing to do with her. He was young and gullible. So how could he have known he was drugged and led into a room that wasn't his in the middle of the night where he raped a young woman who was fast asleep? At that time, Chloe William wasn't just the most beautiful woman in Springdale Ville, she was also the most highly sought after wife by every man in Springdale. As if that wasn't enough, Chloe majored in business administration a

"What are you doing?" It was a young man in a glittering green suit. He was decked in luxurious brands from head to toe. Chloe realized she was standing too close to him and subconsciously took a step backward. Lewis' face paled when he recognized the man. "Mr. Kendrick, I had no idea you would be visiting today. If I knew, I'd have given you a proper welcome." Lewis sounded nervous as he hurried towards Jonas Kendrick. Jonas Kendrick had a proud smile on his face as he waved Lewis aside. "I didn't know I'd be visiting either." Then his eyes settled on Chloe who immediately looked away from him. He took long strides towards her then held out the rose flowers with him towards her. "There's no need to be shy. We're going to be married sooner or later. So go on and take it.." He said, pushing it towards her hand. Chloe evaded the flowers and stepped backward."Mr. Kendrick, my sister is aller—" Claire was saying when Lewis loudly interrupted. "Mr. Kendrick, I heard you flew in d

A tall and oppressive figure had entered the room and was standing in front of Chloe. An eerie silence also hung in the air before Lewis groaned in pain as he was helped up by some members of the William family. He was bleeding from his head and couldn't even open his left eye properly.He also seemed to have broken a leg as he dragged it across the floor to meet the man who left him in such a state. "Do you have any idea where you are and what I can do to you for laying your hands on me?!" He yelled angrily, but winced in pain when the strain from his facial expression caused his head to throb harder. Jonas frowned seeing the man. The man was so tall and intimidating that he found it hard to meet his eyes. "E-Ethan Black?!" Lewis suddenly frowned, recognizing the man. "I knew he looked familiar! How dare that bastard return to Springdale?" A member of the William family hissed in anger. He sounded like he'd walk up to Ethan and slap him across the face, but he didn't even have

The atmosphere became tense once again. "I know that you're strong and can take care of yourself. But you should be mindful of what you say if you do not want to get Chloe and I into trouble." Claire who had been silent the whole time, suddenly butted in. "Stay out of this, Claire." Chloe warned, glancing at her briefly. Claire had a lot of reasons to hate Ethan. And for the past six years, she had spent every night cursing him for ruining the blissful life she and Chloe had. Just like everyone, she believed he was dead, but she also harbored the thought that he might be alive somewhere and would probably return someday to take his family out of their misery. However, the Ethan she was looking at looked no different from the Ethan of six years ago. Except that he was more confident now. She should've prayed for him to wind up dead instead. Chloe's warning made her grit her teeth in anger, but she agreed and went silent again. "Why should she when she's saying the truth? You may

Ethan stepped backward after saying that much to the excitement of Kane. "Am I permitted to beat him up?""Half-dead. Then deliver him to the Kendrick family house." Ethan nodded and turned around to look at everyone in the room. For the first time in six years, Ethan's heart raced. His heart never raced when he cut off the head of the enemy's commander while on the battlefield neither did it race when he was ambushed by 700 highly trained assassins sent to kill him. His heart was actually racing because of the thought of seeing the precious human he made with Chloe. Kane waited until he and Chloe were out of the building before he got to work. As Jonas' high pitched scream tore through the quiet afternoon, Claire who was walking right behind them couldn't help but hiss. "I don't know what you're thinking, but the Kendrick family will never let you off for touching Jonas. What am I saying? Chloe, your husband broke Lewis' legs and is having his goon beat up Jonas Kendrick. Do you

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
