The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 47
Before the elderly man could say anything, the security men kneeling on the floor beat him to it."Chairman Haworth, please believe me when I say I didn't know he was your guest. If I had known, I would've taken good care of him. Those insolent kids earlier threatened us with making our lives miserable if we didn't drag him out of the vicinity. We were just following orders!" One of them pleaded in a loud voice and began hitting his forehead on the floor to show his sincerity."He didn't look like someone who should be in Astoria Corporation, so we fell for their lies that he is a loser. It was really not our intention to treat your guest this way!" Another pleaded, trying to pin all the blame on Ramsey and his friends."You tried to treat him this way because of how he was dressed? You, a mere security man, tried to drive out the..."Before he could complete his sentence with 'owner of Astoria Corporation from his company,' Ethan placed a hand on his neck and cleared his throat.This

Ethan picked up Honey from school as soon as he left Astoria Corporation and drove back to the house.."Thank God for Chairman Haworth showing up because I wouldn't have stopped you from beating up that bastard, Ramsey Jespersen. How dare him call my sister a slut? Ugh!" Claire murmured underneath her breath as she played with Honey's hair. She was silent for a moment before she briefly glanced up at Ethan. "That's true. What did you go to Astoria Corporation for?" Claire asked Ethan as she played with Honey's hair."I wanted to check them out." Ethan had never been a good liar, so he just said the first thing that came to mind."You wanted to check it out? Why?" Claire asked and looked up at him.Ethan kept his eyes on the road as he struggled to come up with something believable."Did you go to find a job? Chloe told me all about how that schoolmate of hers embarrassed you in the restaurant the other day. That must be why you want to start working. A working class brother-in-law?

"How dare you bring your scrap here when Grandpa sent you a limousine? Chloe, are you that determined to tarnish this family's image?" Lewis William hollered furiously as soon as he saw Chloe and Ethan get out of the Koenigsegg Jesko.Lewis was putting on an expensive suit and stood outside the house with both hands stylishly in his pockets.When he spoke to Claire, he removed a hand from his pocket and pointed it at her."How is it your business what I choose to come in?" Chloe walked past him without a glance."We may be struggling to maintain our position as a third-tier family, but we can afford a decent sports car!" Lewis yelled after her.He clenched his fist tightly seeing she didn't turn until she disappeared behind the tempered glass door."That bitch! What right does she have to act all high and mighty with me when I'm the William family heir and she was just a janitor at the company just a few days ago? Seems she has forgotten who's the one Grandpa has high hopes for. Damn

"This loser stormed the Reese family house and beat up Hermes Reese, and you're still politely asking us to hand him over to be punished? You're too kind, Mr. Reese! Someone as foolish as him needs to have what he did to Jethro and Hermes Reese done back to him in tenfold!"Just like Ethan thought, Lewis William believed this was the perfect opportunity to get closer to the Reese family. So he immediately left Adams' side and strolled across the room to where Ethan and Chloe were seated."Chloe William, are you that determined to agitate Grandfather? Haven't you done enough to harm the William family? If you really have the William family's well-being at heart, then you should divorce the loser beside you right here and now!""Thanks to you and your loser husband, the Kendrick family cut off all ties with us. If we don't secure this contract with the Reese family, the company Grandmother dedicated her entire life to building up will cease to exist! Do you really want that to happen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven burly and scary-looking men came running inside the William family house."I don't see your henchman anywhere, so this should be over in a few minutes," he shrugged and then smiled at Adam slightly. "I'll pay for any damages my men cause to your living room.""It's fine. This was bound to happen sooner than later anyway," Adam shook his head at the offer and took his seat.Ethan's eyes darkened as he stood in front of Chloe protectively. "Is the Reese family sure of this?""Of course, Mr. Black. We are sure we want you crippled the same way you crippled Hermes. Did you really think we'd be scared off because of your henchman? What do you take the Reese family for?" Andy laughed scornfully."I took the Reese family as sensible people who'd know not to walk into their deaths. Although it appears I was gravely mistaken," Ethna sneered and looked around the room.Andy mistook it as him looking for an escape route and laughed even more."Can you look

"What are you talking about? Aren't you here because Chloe recently started working at Springdale National College, and you'll need her assistance for your children's grades?" Lewis stood beside Adam with a hand on his hip and asked in confusion.Hearing him, Morello Jespersen became even more confused. For the past four hours, he ran helter-skelter trying to save his companies.Customs suddenly cracked down on them, saying he was suspected of laundering money through them. As a result, every ongoing operation was stopped. Companies he was supposed to send goods to and render services started calling to ask why the delay.He kept trying to assure them he'd get back to them before they knew it, but exactly an hour later, news reached him that every order he was to send out had been canceled, and the owners were asking for a refund.Furthermore, all his customers were snatched by their rival company.It was at that moment that he realized there was something wrong. He had always been a

"If you're unable to get Josiah Haworth to clear her name in there days, Chloe and her family will be completely kicked out and will never be provided for again by the William family. The house they currently live in will also be taken away from them. Is that okay by you, or do you wish to withdraw what you just said?" Adam huffed coldly.Chloe gulped down nervously and stepped forward to back out of the deal when Ethan beat her to it. Again."You got it. Josiah Haworth will be here in three days to tell everyone who wishes to know that he's not in any kind of relationship with my wife. And in return, you'll hand over the manager position of Stellar Corporation to Chloe William."Adam smiled loftily and turned to Morello Jespersen."Mr. Jespersen, please grace us with your presence in three days' time as you have witnessed Ethan Black's claim that Josiah Haworth will be here to state if he's in a relationship with my granddaughter or not. That way, whichever party is on the losing sid

The following day's morning was extremely cold. At 6 am, Ethan made sure Honey was well covered before he walked out of it to make a call. On his way back, he walked past Chloe's room and found the door a bit ajar. He stopped and stared into the room to see Chloe's lonely figure in front of her study desk. The lights were turned off, and the only source of light in the room was the bedside lamp on her study desk. She held her head in her hands and lowered her eyes down to the table. He knew she was worried about his bet with Adam. She hadn't said a word to him last night because she was too tired and not in the right frame of mind to yell at him. After all, her parents were doing it already.After hovering at the doorpost for some minutes, he clenched his fist tightly and walked into her room. "When I met Josiah Haworth yesterday, he sounded like a good man.""All year round, no one really knows Josiah Haworth's schedule. He might be in Springdale today and still be in Bayside Cou

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
