Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

He sat in the car, not speaking for a long while, his expression even somewhat lost.

“Is this what a large family is like? Even my proudest strength is not worth mentioning…” Ethan couldn’t help but whisper.

The power of the Taylor family was unimaginable.

At least… it far exceeded Ethan’s expectations.

“Let’s go down.” Emily Taylor whispered in Ethan’s ear.

Ethan hesitated, looking up at Emily with mixed feelings. Emily… how did she end up liking him in the first place…

“Get off the car.” Emily said with a smile.

Ethan nodded, followed Emily out of the car.

Not far away, Hugh Taylor was conversing with someone.

Powerful figures in Shiglance City were apologizing one after another, afraid of accidentally offending the great man.

At this moment, William Richardson came over from not far away.

“Mr. Taylor, I’m sorry.” William sighed.

“I didn’t expect things to escalate to this point.”

Hugh Taylor looked at William and said slowly, “Elderly Mister… he is very upset. You should know that Emily is his favorite grandchild.”

William’s face changed slightly.

The Elderly Mister mentioned was naturally Mike Taylor, the true patriarch of the Taylor family.

“Mr. Taylor, I will go to Capital City in a few days to explain everything to the Elderly Mister, ” William Richardson sighed.

Hugh didn’t say anything more and walked towards the car.

“Emily, get in the car,” Hugh Taylor suddenly called out to Emily when he reached the car.

Emily looked at Ethan and said, “Don’t think too much about it. You’ve done a great job.”

After that, Emily walked towards Hugh’s direction.

Ethan quickly reached out and grabbed Emily’s hand, his expression somewhat indescribable.

“What’s wrong?” Emily asked with a smile.

Ethan opened his mouth and said, “Where are you going?”

“Silly, my dad is here, of course, I have to see him,” Emily said with a smile.

“All right, you go find a place to rest tonight, and I’ll call you tomorrow,” Emily stood on tiptoes and gently patted Ethan’s head.

After that, Emily walked towards Hugh’s direction once again.

Both of them got into the car, and Ethan’s eyes were fixed in the direction of the car.

Hugh’s car slowly passed by Ethan’s side.

At this moment, the car window suddenly rolled down.

Ethan saw Hugh coldly looking at him.

This powerful aura made even Ethan feel uncomfortable.

Just a single glance gave a feeling that people dare not resist.

Ethan’s gaze met Hugh’s, staring at him without any intention to look away.

The car finally passed by Ethan and raced toward the distance.

Ethan stood still, clenching his fists tightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

In the car.

Hugh Taylor lit a cigar, with Emily sitting beside him.

“You can’t even handle a small task like this? What use are you?” Hugh coldly looked at Emily’s secretary.

The secretary’s face immediately showed a trace of panic. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Taylor, it’s my fault… Please punish me.”

“Punishment?” Hugh’s tone became even colder.

“If something had happened to my daughter, what would you use to make up for it?”

The secretary trembled all over, not daring to say another word.

Hugh continued to smoke the cigar until it was finished.

“Javon, throw those useless guys who were responsible for protecting Emily this time into the river,” Hugh said coldly.

Hearing this, the secretary looked terrified.

He desperately begged, “Mr. Taylor, please spare me this time, give me a chance to make up for it…”

“Make up for it?” Hugh’s face became even colder.

In anger, he said, “If something happened to my daughter, not even a hundred of you would be able to compensate! You still dare to ask me to spare you?”

The secretary shook with fear, tears and snot streaming down his face, looking pitiful.

“Dad, it’s not their fault. Don’t scare them,” Emily Taylor said with a roll of her eyes.

Hugh took a deep breath and said, “No, your grandfather knows about this, and

he’s unhappy.”

“Enough!” Emily said with some annoyance.

“I told you, it has nothing to do with them! They didn’t do anything wrong!

Why should they be punished?”

Emily furrowed her brows and said, “Besides, I asked them to protect Ethan.”

Hugh Taylor opened his mouth and thought for a moment, then said, “They can be spared from death, but not from punishment. Send them to Africa to mine.”

“No!” Emily still opposed.

“They didn’t do anything wrong, so they shouldn’t be punished,” she explained.

This surprised Hugh a little.

He looked at Emily curiously and said, “Emily, you’ve become so soft-hearted since we last met.”

Rolling her eyes, Emily said, “Anyway, I said no, and that’s it! If you don’t listen to me, I’ll go find my granddad!”

Hearing this, Hugh couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

“All right, all right, I’ll listen to you. Is that enough?” Hugh Taylor seemed somewhat distressed.

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Turning to Emily, he said, “Thank you, Miss, for pleading on my behalf,”

Emily glanced at the secretary and said indifferently, “Perhaps you should thank Ethan. ”

The secretary was stunned, seemingly confused.

But soon he understood.

He couldn’t help but smile and whispered, “That’s right, maybe I should really thank Ethan Smith.”

Emily had changed a lot since she met Ethan.

If it were the old Emily, she wouldn’t plead for anyone, let alone be this soft-hearted now.

“Pack up in the next few days, I’ll take you back to Capital City,” Hugh suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Emily immediately shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to go back to Capital City!”

“Emily! You have to go back this time!” Hugh frowned.

“After such a thing happened, the whole Taylor family is worried about you!”

“If you stay in River City and something happens, your granddad might tear River City apart!”

Despite what he said, Emily continued to refuse.

“I don’t want to go back to Capital City! This was just an accident!” Emily insisted stubbornly.

“If it really doesn’t work, just send a few more people to protect me,” Emily huffed..
