The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 38
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

Claire's eyes flickered as they snapped towards Paul's friends' direction."What did you say about my sister?" She swallowed aggressively and slipped her phone into her pocket, totally ignoring what the voice behind her said.The younger daughter of Scott William was known to be outrightly aggressive whenever she was offended, and she never let anyone go regardless of who they were.But her anger could be appeased with an apology. However, whenever a snide remark was made about her sister, she would never let it go.The boy who had made the remark was a petite boy with brown hair. He scoffed, stepped forward, and clicked his tongue in a haughty manner while maintaining eye contact with her."I said your sister is a slut. Six years ago, she was envied by everyone in Springdale and took the William family forward by signing contracts with corporations way higher than the William family. No one said anything back then because they were afraid of offending your family, but they all knew s

The security men, rushing to beat up Ethan, were the first to recognize the man in an impeccably pressed three-piece suit. He looked to be in his early forties and had a dignified air around him."Mr. Haworth, you're here. I apologize for letting you see something like this. Please give me a few minutes to take care of these eyesores!" The security man who had shoved the assistant aside scurried up to Josiah Haworth and apologized with his face turned towards the ground."Yes, Mr. Haworth. We just encountered a brief problem with these troublemakers, and we were just about to resolve it before you came." Another security man hurriedly seconded, and soon, everyone was nodding their heads in agreement.Hearing it was just some troublemakers, Josiah immediately lost interest. And here he thought Mr. Black was already here."Hurry up and take care of it then. I'll be having a very important guest in a few minutes. I wouldn't want him to meet such an unsightly scene." He hummed leisurely,

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

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

A minute later, Charles turned to Ethan and reported solemnly, “Mrs. Black wasn’t taken by Declan Wellington. She was taken by the William family.” In the William family residence. Adam William paced to and fro in the living room, his hands clasped behind his back and brows knitted together in worry. “Grandfather, after today, I will make sure our William family will no longer be looked down on by other families!” Those were the words Lewis said to him this morning before he left the house. Ever since Astoria Corporation pulled away their investment, other companies followed suit. They were not only knee-deep in debt, but every valuable thing in their house had been taken by the bank and everyone they were owing. They took everything ranging from jewelries, electronics and furnitures. Even the expensive looking lights were not left out. Adam had run to those whom he had helped when the William family were at its peak a few months ago, but they all hung up on him the moment th

He called her three times and each time, the phone wasn’t answered. There was no denying it now. Soenthing had really happened. His brows knitted into a tight frown as he switched to calling Claire. But just like Chloe, Claire didn’t answer her phone either. As soon as the third call ended, the screen of his phone lit up with a call from Claire and he eagerly answered it. “Where are you? I’ve been calling Chloe. Did something…” He was suddenly cut off by a voice that didn’t belong to Claire. “Hello, this phone belongs to a woman involved in a car accident. Seeing that your contact is saved with ‘Brother-in-law’ I thought it was wise to return your call.” His pupils instantly dilated and he strutted quickly to the window, away from Honey’s earshot.. He pressed the phone against his ear rig heed and repeated in disbelief, “Accident? She was involved in an accident? What about the other woman in the car with her? Is she badly injured? In fact, tell me which hospital you are!” In
