Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Are You Worthy?_1

The next morning, all the big shots in River City were invited to the manor newly bought by the Taylor family.

Even the wealthy families from Chuzzle Province came to attend this banquet.

The banquet was scheduled for nine in the morning, but everyone arrived early to wait at the manor.

At this time, Emily Taylor drove to the Dragon Rising Community.

"Ethan Smith, hurry up and come down, I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the community," Emily Taylor called Ethan Smith on the phone.

Before Ethan could even speak, Emily hung up the phone.

After a quick tidy-up, Ethan arrived at the entrance of the community.

He saw Emily wearing a long dress, waiting by the car.

Her distinctive temperament made Ethan stare for a moment.

"Have you had enough?" Emily rolled her eyes.

Ethan came to his senses, coughed and said, "Miss Emily, why are you here?"

Emily smiled and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to buy some clothes."

"Ah? Buying clothes?" Ethan was even more confused.

"The clothes you're wearing are not suitable for formal occasions," Emily said with a smile.

Ethan wanted to refuse, but Emily's overbearing manner left him no room to resist.

After getting in the car, the two of them went to a shopping mall in River City.

"Hmm...This outfit is not bad; you should try it on," Emily carefully chose clothes in the mall.

"This one also seems good, go try it on."

"Eh? That one looks quite suitable for you too."

"... "

In the end, Ethan wore a black suit and walked out of the fitting room.

Standing in front of the mirror, Ethan could hardly believe that the person he saw was himself!

Indeed, clothes make the man!

"You look quite handsome!" Emily teased.

Ethan scratched his head, looking a bit shy.

"Pack up all these clothes," Emily took out her bank card and handed it to the salesperson.

"No need, I can't wear that many..." Ethan hurriedly shook his head.

Emily rolled her eyes, "It doesn't cost much, just pack it up."

Ethan secretly glanced at the bill and couldn't help but gasp.

The clothes cost nearly one hundred and sixty thousand dollars!

"The world of the rich is truly incomprehensible," Ethan said with a bitter smile.

Wearing the suit, Ethan went back to the manor with Emily Taylor.

By now, many guests had arrived at the manor.

Most of them held noble status and remarkable positions.

Upon returning to the manor, Emily Taylor resumed her usual icy demeanor, and her powerful aura was like night and day compared to before.

Ethan had never attended such a banquet before, so he appeared somewhat nervous.

"Relax," Emily smiled.

"Remember, they are here to seek us. Treat yourself as the host," Emily said, winking.

Ethan was suddenly taken aback.

Us?

Emily's words made Ethan feel slightly thrilled.

Just then, Ethan suddenly saw Sylvia Johnson and Gary Brown walk in from the entrance, hand in hand, looking extremely intimate.

As Ethan saw them, they also noticed him.

Gary Brown immediately kissed Sylvia on the face and then strode towards Ethan.

Ethan's fists unconsciously clenched, and his face turned incredibly cold.

Anger in his chest made Ethan want to slaughter this despicable couple!

At this moment, Ethan suddenly felt a pair of hands holding his hand.

Looking down, he saw Emily Taylor's delicate hands gently holding his.

"Still upset?" Emily blinked at Ethan.

Ethan's gratitude was unspeakable.

"Miss Emily, thank...thank you," Ethan said nervously.

Soon enough, Gary Brown and Sylvia Johnson approached them.

Sylvia glanced at Emily Taylor and couldn't help but feel jealous!

Because this woman was too beautiful! Her ethereal temperament made Sylvia look pale in comparison!

Gary Brown also felt a bit annoyed.

How did such a beautiful woman end up with Ethan Smith?

"Ethan Smith, is this kind of occasion for you?" Sylvia sneered.

Ethan said coldly, "If you can make it, why can't I?"

Hearing this, Sylvia said smugly, "I was invited by the Taylor family!"

After saying that, she deliberately looked at Emily Taylor, as if showing off.

But Emily's face was full of amusement. noVE-lb)1n

"Miss, I didn't expect you to come too; it seems your family has some strength," Gary Brown looked at Emily Taylor and said politely.

Emily Taylor said indifferently, "It's just average."

Gary Brown chuckled and said, "Our Brown family also received an invitation from the Taylor family, so why don't we become friends? Maybe we can cooperate in business later."

Emily Taylor looked Gary Brown up and down and sneered, "Become friends? Are you even worthy?"

Gary Brown's face suddenly turned sour.

"Miss, what you're saying is a bit excessive," Gary Brown said, slightly displeased.

"I know most of the important people in River City, but I've never seen you before."

"My Brown family has some say in River City, and being friends with me, you won't be at a loss."

Emily Taylor sneered, "The Brown family is nothing in my eyes."

Gary Brown's face turned completely cold.

Emily Taylor didn't bother with Gary Brown any longer. She looked at Ethan Smith and said, "You wait here for a while. I have some things to deal with."

Ethan hurriedly nodded, "Alright, go ahead."

After Emily left, Sylvia snorted, "What's the big deal? Isn't she just a slut!"

In his heart, Gary Brown also cursed, "Stinking bitch, wait for me, I'll eventually get you into bed!"

Then, Gary Brown looked at Ethan Smith and snorted coldly, "Tell that stinking woman not to fall into my hands! Otherwise, I won't let her go!"

However, Ethan sneered, "Gary Brown, you'd better apologize to her, or you'll end up very miserable."
