Chapter 916: The Best Method On How To Get What You Want
Lilian, whose face couldn't get any redder, was forced to listen to her mother and lover talk about her.
She was currently seated between her mother and her grandfather, while Ethan sat across from her.
After a bit of formality, her mother started to ask some questions, which the young man happily answered.
She should have been happy to see the two people whom she loved getting along well. But it was hard for her to do so when their mode of getting along was Ethan answering the kind of questions her mother was asking at the moment.
"First of all, congratulations for managing to tame my spoiled little princess," Isabel said with a smile. "How did you do it? What kind of milk did you make her drink?"
"The best kind," Ethan replied with a smile of his own.
"According to my investigation, you seduced her. Is that right?" Isabel inquired.
"I did," Ethan answered.
"What kind of seduction did you use?"
"I took off my shirt."
"Hoh-"
Lilian had asked Samantha what had happened during Ethan's meeting with her parents. The young lady told her that it was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. And right now, Lilian was feeling that same embarrassment firsthand.
Just as she thought that things couldn't get any worse, her mother's next question almost made her choke on the tea that she was drinking to calm herself.
"What body part of my daughter do you like the most?" Isabel asked in a mischievous tone.
"Her lips," Ethan replied. "They're so soft that I want to kiss her every day."
"The second body part you like the most?"
"Her neck. I had to fight the temptation to leave my mark on it so that everyone in the academy would know that she belongs to me."
"The third part you like the most?"
"Her collarbone. I can only leave my mark there because it cannot be seen by anyone."
"Your fourth most favorite?"
"Her bre..."
"Mother!"
Lilian was no longer able to take it and rose up from her seat to use both of her hands to cover Ethan's mouth to prevent him from answering.
Seeing her reaction, Isabel couldn't stop herself from giggling because she was waiting for her obedient daughter to reach her limit.
Lilian then moved to sit beside Ethan to make sure that he wouldn't say any more
embarrassing things about her.
As if understanding each other, Ethan and Isabel gave each other a knowing glance and smiled at the same time.
Seeing their reaction, the young lady finally came to a realization.
"The one I'm marrying is your daughter, not you."
A giggle escaped the beautiful woman's lips because she could already imagine her husband's reaction after hearing Ethan's message.
"You shouldn't act arrogantly, especially if you don't know who you are dealing with, young man," Gilbert said.
"Well, my grandfather is the Demon Lord," Ethan commented. "And he's still alive. How can I
not be arrogant?"
Isabel and Gilbert almost choked on their saliva after hearing the young man's reply.
Clearly, this was a case of using your family's background to settle issues, which they found... surprisingly effective against them.
Ethan laughed internally because he was just returning what the two adults were trying to do
to him.
From the very start, he knew that Lilian's guardians had planned to use their background to
intimidate him.
However, they were intimidating the wrong person.
Just who was the Demon Lord?
Just who was the Raylight Family?
Could the two of them even compare?
Absolutely not!
While Isabel and Gilbert were still feeling bitter about the young man's way of hugging his biological family's thigh, Ethan then added one more piece of information that almost made them curse Lilian's father for not being here during this important occasion.
"I'm sure you already know this, but my first wife's father is the Beast King of Southshire," Ethan said. "He told me that if someone messes with me, I can just ask him for help, and he
will deal with it."
Isabel and Gilbert were very tempted to spit on the young man's face because he was being so
shameless.
Not only did he threaten them with the Demon Lord's name, but he also used the Beast King, who was practically Eastshire's neighbor.
Lilian, who understood the current situation, leaned on Ethan's chest and closed her eyes.
She had been taught the ways of politics since she was young, and sometimes, the best way to
get what you want is through intimidation or blackmail.
Ethan had employed both, so even though she felt a little bad about her family's current situation, she was also very happy because her man was willing to go that far so the two of
them could be together.
It was impossible for her to not feel moved by such an act, so she said nothing and allowed her lover to fight for her in her stead.
