At this point, Mike Taylor paused for a moment.

He laughed lightly and said, “Ethan Smith, as long as you are willing, I can establish a Smith family for you at any time and make it a great aristocratic family.”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

“Although my time is running out, this short period is more than enough.”

The words of Mike Taylor were slightly overbearing. As he said, with Mike’s energy, even a beggar could become a famous tycoon under his influence.

However, none of this could truly sway Ethan’s heart.

He shook his head and said, “Mr. Taylor, perhaps you’ve misunderstood.”

“If my goal was to make a fortune or move up in social class, your offer would indeed be hard to refuse. But to me, those things are not important at all.”

“What’s important is the life that Emily wants, and who she wants to live it with.”

“As I’ve said before, Emily’s arrival changed my destiny. Without her, I would still be a timid and useless in-law in River City.”

Ethan Smith gave a bitter smile, and when mentioning the past, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad in his heart.

“If you give up now, it doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future.” Mike Taylor casually played with a chess piece as he spoke lightly.

Ethan still shook his head and said, “For other things, I can temporarily give up, but not for Emily.”

“Even if it’s just for a moment, I don’t want her to become someone else’s bride.”

Mike Taylor raised his eyebrows and said, “In that case, Emily might suffer with you.”

“Even if it costs me my life, I won’t let her suffer any grievances,” Ethan Smith replied.

After saying this, Ethan looked down at the scattered chessboard.

“Mr. Taylor, let’s play one more game.” Ethan Smith started arranging the chess pieces as he spoke.

“Alright,” Mr. Taylor did not ask any further.

In this game, Ethan Smith’s style suddenly changed dramatically.

From the previous steady “defense” to an aggressive attack in an instant.

A few moves in, even Mike Taylor began to feel the pressure.

This aggressive, piece-for-piece chess method surprised him!

Although Ethan eventually lost by a single piece, the well-verged Mike Taylor still felt an immense pressure!

“Mr. Taylor, not only can I live peacefully, but I can also be ruthless,” Ethan said slowly as he put down the last chess piece.

Mike Taylor was lost in thought for a moment.

“I recently learned how to cook fish, I’ll make you try it today.” Emily selected a fat and fresh fish from the pond and put it on the cutting board.

Once the fish was prepared, Emily made several cuts on the fish’s body and stuffed the spices like scallions, ginger, and other ingredients inside.

Next, she dipped her hand in the marinade and spread it over the fish.

“The fish has to be marinated for a while before the flavor can penetrate,” Emily said after wiping away her sweat.

Ethan Smith praised her, “Your technique doesn’t look like you’ve just learned.”

“Of course not. Miss learned how to cook at the expense of cutting her fingers several times,” the head chef at the side laughed.

Emily glared at him and rolled her eyes, saying, “Blabbermouth!”

Upon hearing her words, the chief chef laughed even more.

At this time, Mike Taylor went to the rooftop by himself.

The steward had been waiting on the rooftop early. When he saw Mr. Taylor, he quickly walked over.

“Sir,” the steward bowed slightly.

Mike Taylor looked into the distance and coldly said, “How is it.”

The steward hurriedly replied, “Sir, I have checked, and everyone outside is spreading the rumor that your days are numbered and your life is coming to an end.”

“There are even rumors that you’re finding it difficult to eat and drink. Some people are probably too impatient.”

Mike Taylor, with his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, “Some people are deliberately fanning the flames, trying to test everyone’s reactions.”

After Mike Taylor’s reminder, the steward quickly understood.

Since the Taylor family was able to reach its current heights, it naturally had many hidden enemies.

Many people wanted to see the high mountain that was the Taylor family topple over.

“As you said, many families are eager to make a move, and some have even started to take sides,” the steward said, standing by Mike Taylor’s side.

Mike Taylor’s face was full of icy coldness.

Although he was not a martial artist, his powerful aura still gave people the shivers.

“Prepare a banquet, and say it’s for my birthday,” Mike Taylor said coldly.

“Birthday?” The steward was somewhat surprised.

Mike Taylor coldly replied, “I want to tell those people that I, Mike Taylor, am still alive, and they better behave themselves!”

At this point, Mike Taylor paused for a moment.

His face softened somewhat as he said lightly, “We can also take this opportunity to introduce Ethan Smith to everyone.”
