“Thank you very much,” Ethan Smith replied politely.

Without saying anything more, one of the bodyguards turned around and walked into the Taylor family’s estate.

Inside the villa, Emily Taylor was sitting by the window, flipping through a document in her hands.

Emily had always been attentive to the company’s operations, and Old Master Mike Taylor was intentionally cultivating her.

At that moment, there came a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Emily said without even raising her head.

The door opened slowly, revealing the house steward standing outside. “Miss Taylor, there’s a man outside who claims to be Ethan Smith looking for you,” said the steward, bowing.

Upon hearing the name, Emily’s face seemed somewhat bewildered. She hurriedly looked at the steward and asked, “What did you say his name

“Ethan Smith,” the steward repeated.

Hurriedly, Emily threw down the document in her hands and turned to race downstairs.

She never imagined that Ethan would come to Capital City to find her!

And she never expected that he would have the courage to visit her in person!

The Taylor family’s estate was vast; it took a car ride to get from the villa to the main gate.

A red sports car sped through the estate.

Just a moment later, the sound of the screeching brakes reached Ethan’s ears.

Ethan looked up, staring intently towards the direction of the entrance.

His heart was pounding with excitement, almost as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

The big gate opened slowly, and a beautiful young woman appeared at the entrance.

Her long, pitch-black hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and her rosy, almond-shaped face shone brightly. With a graceful and charming figure, she simply took Ethan’s breath away.

Her eyes darted around and quickly found Ethan in the crowd.

Emily’s face instantly filled with a smile. She quickly walked over to Ethan, barely believing the reality before her eyes.

“You’re here so soon?” Emily asked on her tiptoes, lightly patting Ethan’s head.

Ethan calmed himself and forced back his excitement, smiling, “I couldn’t wait any longer.”

Emily smiled tenderly, “I’ve heard about your achievements, King of Chuzzle, and you’re really impressive.”

Ethan was filled with mixed emotions; he hadn’t expected Emily to be following his every move so closely.

“Then follow me,” Emily said, pulling Ethan’s hand.

“Okay!” Ethan nodded vigorously and adjusted his state of mind. He followed Emily into the Taylor family’s estate.

The expression of the two bodyguards guarding the entrance was somewhat unnatural, and the look they gave Ethan was even vaguely hostile.

To them, Emily was an untouchable existence.

But now, there was an apparently naive stranger, brazenly holding Emily’s hand, and it was difficult for them to accept.

“Get in the car,” Emily said, walking in front of the car.

Ethan opened the car door and got in.

The car slowly drove towards the Taylor family’s villa.

“You seem to have grown a lot,” Emily observed, looking at Ethan.

Ethan replied seriously, “If I don’t grow, how could I be worthy to marry you?”

This one sentence made Emily blush slightly.

“Actually...” Emily opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, she shook her head and smiled, “It’s nothing.”

The two drove around the vast estate.

At this moment, an old man with a walking stick stood on the top floor of the villa, silently watching everything unfold.

This old man was none other than the true master of the Taylor family, Duane Taylor.

“Master, this man is Ethan Smith,” said the chief steward, bowing.

“Mm,” Duane Taylor replied indifferently.

The chief steward tentatively asked, “Shall we make him leave?”

Duane shook his head and said, “There’s no need.”

The chief steward remained silent for a moment, then said, “Master, you once said that Ethan Smith might become your last trump card. Isn’t it inappropriate to expose him now...”

Duane Taylor stroked his beard and sighed, “Indeed, but not everything can be under one’s control. Sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course.” The conversation between the two seemed somewhat cryptic.

As the head of the Taylor family, Duane Taylor naturally possessed an extremely sharp mind and extraordinary foresight.

He had anticipated the future fragmentation of the Taylor family and even his granddaughter Emily’s precarious situation after his death.

Thus, Duane Taylor considered Ethan as his last safety net.

Not for any other reason but because Ethan was the son of that man, and this alone was worth gambling on in Duane Taylor’s eyes..
