The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Enigmatic Ethan Black Chapter 70
As Ethan and Chloe made a stop at the police station, Matilda Brown, unaware of what her family was going through, rushed into the house in a frenzy and ran up to her room.She knelt on the floor and took out a box from under her bed.She opened and rummaged through it for a moment before whipping out an envelope. She didn't bother to confirm its content before rushing out of the house with it.Three hours later, she returned to the house, looking more enthusiastic than ever.She waltzed into Chloe's room and emerged from it some minutes later hiding something behind her back.Coincidentally, Claire happened to walk out of her room at that moment to see her mother hurrying out of her sister's room hiding something behind her back."Mom? What were you doing in Chloe's room?" She paused and asked suspiciously, raising a brow at Matilda.Matilda flinched and swiftly turned around. However, she smiled when she saw it wasn't Chloe but Claire."What? Oh, that. Nothing. I went into her room

In less than an hour, Claire brought 500 million dollars in cash and placed it beside the first bag of money Matilda had. "With this money, Claire, no one would dare to look down on our family!" Matilda said, overjoyed. The money doubling man massaged his beards for a moment while staring at the two bags of money. He then waved his hand at his assistant who hurried to him. The duo whispered about something for some seconds before the money doubling man shook his head a little. "This is the biggest amount of money we'll be doubling for one person today. You'll need to come back in twenty four hours to take back home your profit." "24 hours? Isn't that too much?" Claire asked, furrowing her brows into a light frown. The man placed his hands on the table and interlocked his fingers together. "For the amount of money you brought to be doubled, it isn't. Usually, one hundred million takes about three hours. Five hundred fake fifteen hours. And a billion dollars should take thirty ho

Downstairs, the dining room was filled to the brim with various people who were chattering nonstop.Matilda's loud laughter was enough to show she was in an extremely good mood.So one of her relatives took the opportunity to ask a question that had been bugging everyone in the room."I heard Chloe is close to Chairman Haworth of Astoria Corporation. It's still an unconfirmed rumor. But since we're already here and related to you in one way or another, why don't you just tell us if the rumors are true? Is your daughter really close to Chairman Haworth?""That's true. People are also saying he pulled some strings and got her a job in Springdale National College," another seconded.The chattering gradually stopped, and everyone looked towards Matilda, who had stiffened at the questions, with expectant gazes.However, before she could retort, someone harrumphed in disdain."If the rumors were true, why would the William family remove their names from the family tree? Chairman Haworth att

"Engagement? Who are you getting engaged to?" asked one of the relatives whom Matilda invited, leaning towards Violet with curiosity."Vincent Dutchman. He's the heir of the Dutchman family in Willow Creek County," Violet replied and shrugged, as if what she said wasn't a big deal."The Dutchman family of Willow Creek County? Are you kidding me? You're acting too nonchalant for someone getting married to the heir of a first-tier family!"The woman sitting next to Violet placed her hand on Violet's hand and massaged it with a gentle smile."Oh, don't be like that. Violet isn't one who likes to brag about things like that. She prefers to keep things to herself. Her father and I were even the ones who bugged her into informing our relatives about the engagement.""Left to my Violet, she prefers to keep things to herself even though it's a great accomplishment that should be known by a lot of people.""Only ten invites are available, and each family here gets one." Tim Brown reached besid

"A package for Ms. William?" Scott William repeated, a puzzling look settling on his face.The deliveryman held up the card in his hand. He stared at it for a few seconds for confirmation before nodding his head at Scott."It says here that these gifts are intended for C. William."Before Scott could say anything, someone suddenly pushed him from behind and squeezed her way to the front.Matilda looked around the compound, her eyes brimming with anticipation, but didn't see anything resembling a gift besides the two medium sized boxes on the delivery man's bike.She frowned and shifted her attention to him. "Where are the gifts? I don't see any gifts."The deliveryman smiled a little and presented the card and a log book to her."Are you C. William? Mr. Wilkins specially requested that she signs her name here as the rightful recipient of the gifts before we hand the gifts over to her."Matilda's excitement had died down when she didn't see any gift box besides the ones on the delivery

Tim Brown's face became even more ugly at how careless she sounded.Just some minutes ago, she had spoken to him with so much respect because he was a benefactor she didn't want to lose. But now that the table had turned and she was now the benefactor between them, she was acting however she liked.However, despite the displeasure in his heart, he couldn't let it show on his face because the Wilkins family was a family almost everyone wanted to be acquainted with. Including him.The last thing he wanted was for her to make it difficult for him to get in touch with the Wilkins family. And since Claire had such a tight relationship with them, being on his sister's good side was the easiest way for him to connect with them.He sat up and said through clenched teeth, "It's fine. If the two dates coincide, I'll talk to the Dutchman family about moving it forward."Violet could condone everything going on except Tim's words just now. It aggravated her so much that she erupted out of anger.

Ten minutes before Chloe fainted, a black Bentley came to a stop outside the house, and one of the windows was rolled down to reveal a long-haired woman in sunglasses looking out of it.Priscilla Wilton stared at the shabby, run-down house for a long time before she tore her eyes away from it to look at her assistant, who was behind the wheel."Are you sure this is the house?"The man nodded his head seriously."I've been looking into it like you asked. Indeed, there was a family with the last name Black, but they had some trouble and ran into a fraudulent scheme where they lost all their money and assets.""Astoria Corporation belonged to the last surviving daughter of the Black family. There wasn't much information about her, but rumors say she was involved with the Wellington family 32 years ago.""Get to the point, Lustre," Priscilla shot her assistant a stern look."Of course, ma'am. After she died of cancer six years ago, Astoria Corporation was swiftly taken by the Wellington f

"I'm not an enemy; I'm a friend," Priscilla Wilton, who was sitting on the couch at the end of the room, voiced out.Ethan straightened up his back and slid his free hand into his pocket. Then he pulled a nearby chair towards him and sat down on it."I don't care who you say you are. I find it very disturbing you're alone with my unconscious wife."Priscilla didn't realize her body was trembling as a result of the cold aura Ethan had the room engulfed in until her palm grazed her arm by mistake, and she felt the goosebumps on it.She lowered her eyes to it and tried to smoothen it over with her palm but discovered it was also trembling. After trying to stabilize it for ten seconds and not succeeding, she clenched it into a tight fist and looked away from it.She looked towards him and laughed lightly, "So I'm right. You're not the good-for-nothing son-in-law who toiled away and was a common Corporal in the army. You're really the man I think you are."The cold in the room suddenly di

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

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
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

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
