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.”

“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.

Because now Ethan seemed like a completely different person.

Gone was the gentle and elegant demeanor, replaced with an indescribable cruelty.

He looked at the somewhat fierce-looking Ethan, stunned for a moment.

Because… this Ethan was very much like Ethan’s father!

“Ha, hahaha! Good! Excellent!” Mike Taylor couldn’t help but laugh with great joy.

He stood up and patted Ethan on the shoulder, saying, “Good. I didn’t misjudge you, Ethan Smith. From today on, I approve of you!”

Ethan Smith also sighed with relief.

He stood up and said, “Thank you, Mr. Taylor.”

As the two chatted, Emily came back in from outside.

Upon seeing Ethan by Mr. Taylor’s side, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

Without even tidying herself up, Emily hurriedly ran up the stairs.

“Ethan, how did you get here?” Emily asked in surprise.

Ethan laughed and replied, “I came to see Mr. Taylor.”

“Oh?” Emily raised her eyebrows.

She teasingly said, “You’ve grown braver. I remember last time you didn’t have the guts.”

“Yes,” Ethan nodded.

“People are often forced into action, right?” Ethan laughed.

Indeed, as Emily mentioned, the last time Ethan came to the Taylor family, he was incredibly apprehensive.

But this time, Ethan had become much more at ease.

“Alright, Emily, now that you’re back, let’s eat,” Mike Taylor said, stretching and yawning.

“Okay! You two chat for a while, I’ll go to the kitchen.” Emily seemed to have the idea of cooking by herself.

Ethan stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Emily hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, saying, “Alright, then you come with me.”

The two walked down the stairs and arrived at the Taylor family’s kitchen.

The Taylor family’s kitchen was huge, to an astounding degree.

Just the kitchen alone occupied more than a hundred square meters.

The kitchen was stocked with various ingredients, both local and foreign; the Taylor family was not lacking in anything. 𝐟re𝚎𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗o𝚟el.c𝐨𝚖

“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.”
