The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 36
By the time they got home, Honey was already fast asleep in Ethan's arm.Chloe pushed the door open to see a full house. For the first time in several months, she saw her father dressed decently and seated on a couch. Although he held a bottle of gin, this was the most sober she had seen him in months.“Bastard! How dare you set foot back in this house after what you did to the William family?!” Scott William suddenly got up and yelled as soon as he saw Ethan.“The scumbag…wait, who the hell do you think you are to ask him that?” Out of habit, Matilda was about to insult Ethan when she recalled the bundle of money he had given her in the morning.Although that didn't change her impression of him, she didn't want to say anything that'd make him stop giving it to her. At least until she finds someone wealthy who'd be willing to marry Chloe.Her change of words surprised Claire. She dropped her phone and looked up at her mother, then asked worriedly, “Mom, did you hit your head somewhere,

Chloe told Claire and a curious Matilda all that happened in the restaurant, including the part of Charles being an acquaintance of Ethan's."Really?" Matilda and Claire blurted out at the same time.While Matilda saw the information as a reason to extort more money from Ethan, Claire couldn't help but think back to what happened at Pearl Hotel.Ever since that incident, she had suspicions about Ethan. In her defense, no one would have an acquaintance like the Wilkins family heir and be so calm about it. The whole world would've heard about it as it meant having people worshipping you just so you could put in a good word for them in front of the Wilkins.One could only be calm if he didn't know Charles' identity, but Ethan knew of it. Furthermore, a friend wouldn't grovel like a servant at the feet of his friend. What she saw at Pearl hotel looked more like Charles was trying to please Ethan.Claire immediately shook her head at the thought. There was nothing extraordinary about Ethan.

A few minutes after Claire left her room, Chloe got up to check on Honey. Claire's room was just opposite hers. So when Chloe saw the door ajar, she got curious and pushed the door open. Her intention was just to look and confirm Claire was on the bed, but when she looked and didn't see her, the sleep left her eyes, and she switched on the light and walked into the room."Claire?" she called and walked around the room. "Claire, are you in the toilet?" She searched the room for two minutes before she realized her sister was gone and quickly ran into Honey's room, where Ethan was standing by the window with his phone pressed against his ear. Hearing someone come in, he turned around with cold eyes, but they turned gentle when he saw it was Chloe.He was about to tell her there was no reason for her to check up on their daughter when she ran towards him, and the reflection coming from the moon outside illuminated the worried look on her face. "Ethan! Claire is missing! No, she has been

Upon receiving the order, Kane charged forward without hesitation and kicked the exquisite door and the stone monument with the name 'Reese' carved on it, smashing it into pieces.The flying stone debris smashed against the huge tempered glass door with a loud bang, and glass shards scattered all over the floor.For some reason, every member of the Reese family had convened in the living room for a meeting. So when they heard the sudden noise, they were frightened and began screaming loudly, looking for places to hide.After the incident with Daniel, Hermes replaced the men around the house with stronger and more experienced individuals.So when the burly men saw the ruckus Ethan and Kane had made, they immediately surrounded them."How dare you make trouble here? Do you know where you are?" Their leader stepped forward and glared at Ethan and Kane hostilely."Isn't this the Reese family house?" Ethan asked icily."So you know where you are. Then I assume you must you're in big troubl

"This is the loser causing us to lose so much money? I assumed he'd be someone worthy to look at!""Look at what his goon is doing to the Reese family house. Hermes, do more than break their arms and legs!""My eyes are tainted just by looking at him. I need to wash them once this is all over!""Hermes should've taught him a lesson outside the Reese family house. Why let trash into the Reese family house? It's such a headache."Ethan glanced at his watch. He needed to visit the company he purchased before 12 to see how things were going. So, he didn't want to spend too much time dealing with the Reese family. Furthermore, they weren't worth his time."You're right. That's enough playing with you. Kane!" Ethan sneered coldly and called out to Kane.An elated Kane breezily whipped through the air and around the five men.The Reese family saw nothing happening besides hearing painful loud cries and the sound of bones being snapped into it.Hermes was smiling smugly, knowing fully well th

"Mr. Reese, we did everything we could to save your son's leg, but his femur, tibia, patella, fibula, and tarsal bones were shattered beyond repair. We were able to minimize the pain from his broken legs, but that's all we were able to do. Unfortunately, he'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life," the doctor announced in the quiet hospital ward belonging to Hermes Reese.The room was filled to the brim with every member of the Reese family. Most of them began whispering amongst themselves in hushed voices while some sneered in secret and others became agitated and began laying curses on Ethan Black.The most agitated of them was Kira Melville, but not because of the condition her son was in."What does that mean? What will now happen to the Reese family if Hermes is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life? Does that mean Jethro will take over the family's assets?" She turned to the middle-aged man standing beside Hermes' bed and questioned worriedly.Killian

Chloe frowned upon hearing him. "Excuse me?" Matt's face stretched further into a lustful, wide smile. "Come on, Ms. William. I heard you're married to a loser. He abandoned you days after your marriage and wasn't there for you when you needed him the most. For the past six years, you've been alone. You even raised your daughter alone, enduring mockery because of what your loser husband did to you. I'm offering you an opportunity to turn your pitiful life around and give your daughter all the luxuries life has to offer." "Mr. Peterson, I am a married woman. Even if everything you've said is true, I am still a married woman with a daughter. Please, never speak to me about this matter ever again!" Chloe warned sternly, struggling to detach her hand from his.However, Matt continued holding onto it tightly. "Don't be like that, Chloe. We're not children anymore. Married or not, there are sacrifices we all have to make once in a while. Besides, I don't see you wearing a wedding ring.

When Ethan finished with the Reese family, he got into his car and drove straight to Astoria Corporation with Kane."Who's that? He's handsome.""They both are.""Yes, they are. But the other one looks more manly, handsome, and my type of men."Ethan and Kane alighted from the Koenigsegg Jesko in Astoria Corporation's vicinity to hear some girls giggling behind their backs.The girls were huddled together and whispering amongst themselves, but somehow, the boys standing opposite them and leaning on the back of a sportscar heard them.They glanced at the said 'handsome men' and scoffed in annoyance after analyzing what kind of people they were."The car isn't branded. What kind of person moves around in an unbranded car?" The first boy scoffed after spending more than five seconds looking at the Koenigsegg Jesko over."Most importantly, they look very ordinary. And they are driving around in an unbranded car, which I heard can be gotten with just a few dollar bills. My Lamborghini cost

Chapter 276 The End
Five Years Later Hiding in her closet with her identical twin brothers, ten-year-old Honey William dangled a chocolate box in their faces. “I’ll give you this if you sit still and don’t say a word until I’m done.” The boys shifted uncomfortably, their eyes pinned to the chocolate box. “Mommy got upset the last time you used us as your face models. Shouldn’t you stop already?” “Yeah, don’t get mommy upset. You know she’s scary when she’s upset.” Honey grimaced and placed a hand on her hip. Lowering her eyes to the boxes, she sighed sadly. “Did you hear that, chocolate? Jaxon and Kaiden don’t want you anymore. I love my brothers, but I can’t do anything if they don’t want you.” “You look delicious, but you have nuts, which I’m allergic to. So I’m just going to drop you in the trash, even if you are Jaxon and Kaiden’s favorite chocolate brand. What a pity they’ve moved on from you.” With a heavy sigh, she slowly walked to the trash, exaggeratedly pressed it open with her foot, a

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
