Translator: 549690339
Emily Taylor looked at Sylvia Johnson coldly, her face filled with frostiness.
“I…” Sylvia Johnson’s eyes widened, ready to speak.
Fortunately, Gary Brown quickly covered her mouth, then trembled, “Miss
Taylor, she…she isn’t qualified enough to be on stage, don’t joke about…”
Emily Taylor huffed, saying: “If she continues to be disrespectful, she should consider the consequences.”
After dropping this sentence, Emily Taylor ignored Gary Brown.
“Ah, isn’t this just toying with us? If she didn’t choose us, why did she shine the light on us.” Sylvia muttered.
“Shut up!” Gary Brown couldn’t hold back and shouted!
At this moment, the more he looked at Sylvia Johnson, the more annoyed he became!
“No, the opportunity that our Brown Family worked so hard to get cannot be ruined!” Gary Brown screamed in his heart.
His mind was spinning rapidly, looking for a solution to save the situation.
By this time Emily Taylor had pulled Ethan Smith down from the stage directly to the frontmost table.
Everyone at the table held prestigious identities, aside from River City’s honored citizens, no one else could sit here.
Facing such a group of influential figures, it would be impossible not to be nervous.
However, Ethan Smith had figured it out, having been a coward for most of his life, he was not going to be that person anymore!
Furthermore, Ethan Smith had long harbored feelings for Emily Taylor.
If he continued to remain fearful, how could he be qualified to be with Emily Taylor?
The two walked straight to the table and sat down.
A smile was on Emily Taylor’s face, completely composed.
Ethan Smith also tried to appear as natural as possible.
After the two sat down, everyone’s eyes turned to Ethan Smith, their doubts visible in their eyes.
“Emily, who exactly is this young man? Why have I never heard of him?” Finally, a middle-aged man in a suit ventured a question.
Emily Taylor laughed, and said, “Uncle Richardson, would you believe me if I said he’s the rising star of tomorrow?”
Uncle Richardson laughed heartily: “In other words, he truly has nothing to his name at the moment?”
Emily Taylor kept quiet for a moment, then responded, “If you’re talking about wealth and status, Ethan Smith truly has nothing.”
“But…when it comes to talent and inner abilities, I think he could rival a nation. ”
The words made Ethan Smith blush, his heart pounding.
But to others, it sounded somewhat laughable.
Talent and inner abilities? In this era, who values talent and internal abilities? Only money and power can earn others’ respect!
Uncle Richardson seemed to intentionally make things difficult for Ethan Smith. He examined Ethan Smith, then asked, “Young man, Emily gave you such a high appraisal. I wonder, what talent do you possess?”
Ethan Smith carefully observed Uncle Richardson, then furrowed his brows, “Uncle Richardson, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently? Such as…angina, or any discomfort in your heart…”
At Ethan Smith’s words, Mr. Richardson immediately burst out laughing, “By your tone, are you a doctor?”
“You could say that.” Ethan replied.
Uncle Richardson shook his head, laughing lightly, “Unfortunately, I just had a full-body check-up a few days ago, and all my indicators were normal.”
Ethan Smith furrowed his brows, “Uncle Richardson, I still suggest that you get your heart checked.”
At Ethan Smith’s words, Uncle Richardson found it amusing, “I reckon there’s no need for that?”
“Uncle Richardson, I’m serious.” Ethan Smith sounded somewhat anxious.
Ethan Smith could clearly see, at the position of Uncle Richardson’s heart, there was an illusive patch of dark mist.
Although Ethan Smith was not sure what this dark mist meant, it was definitely not a good sign.
But at this time, Uncle Richardson’s face began to turn sour.
“I understand young people’s eagerness to climb up the social ladder, but rashly showing off might have the opposite effect,” Uncle Richardson with a warning tone.
If it weren’t for Emily Taylor’s sake, Uncle Richardson might have been furious by now.
“Young man, Mr. Richardson is the commander of the Chuzzle Battle Zone, and the one in charge of his health checks is also a doctor from the battle zone, better not keep insisting,” someone said, trying to mediate the situation with a laugh.
Ethan Smith frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Emily, you’re still young. You need to be more careful about who you spend time with.” Uncle Richardson alluded, intentional or not.
Ethan’s advice seriously.”
This left Uncle Richardson a bit embarrassed, but because of Emily Taylor’s face, he did not lose his temper.
“Let’s drink, or the food will get cold.” Someone nearby picked up the wine glass and mediated.
The atmosphere at the venue was joyful and harmonious, but Uncle Richardson’s face did not look too good.
Seeing this, Ethan Smith picked up his wine glass and proposed a toast, “Uncle
Richardson, perhaps I was mistaken. I hope you don’t mind.”
Uncle Richardson glanced at Ethan Smith, snorted, and then turned his head away.
Ethan Smith’s hand holding up the wine glass was embarrassingly left hanging.
Out of nowhere, he had to retract his hand.
“Don’t be upset.” Emily Taylor leaned in towards Ethan Smith, laughing.
“To them, you are just an ordinary person. They will respect you because of me, but that’s only on the surface.”
“If you want to earn their respect, then prove it to them,” Emily Taylor suggested, her eyes blinking.
Meeting Emily Taylor’s eyes, Ethan Smith felt as if no difficulty was worth mentioning!
He nodded strongly, “I will definitely prove to them that your choice wasn’t wrong! ”
“I believe in you.” Emily Taylor’s eyes were like water, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be enchanted.
“Miss… Miss Taylor…”
Just then, Gary Brown and Sylvia Johnson came over with wine glasses.
Gary Brown had absolutely no desire to bring this big embarrassment, Sylvia Johnson, over, but if she didn’t come to apologize, then the chance of being forgiven was almost zero!
Therefore, after Gary Brown patiently explained the stakes, he faced the situation heads-on and walked over with Sylvia Johnson.
Looking at the two of them, Emily Taylor’s face held a playful expression.
Gary Brown was nervous, his hand trembling as it held the wine glass.
Because he was very aware that the woman in front of him could determine the fate of Brown Family with a single word.
“Miss… Miss Taylor, I was blind and offended you. I hope you won’t stoop to my level…” Gary Brown stuttered.
After saying this, he forcefully pulled Sylvia Johnson’s hand.
Although Sylvia Johnson was extremely unwilling, she still apologized, “Miss
Taylor, right? I have to warn you, what do you see in someone like Ethan Smith? He’s nothing but a hopeless loser, he can do nothing else but cook and do laundry every day! Calling him ‘useless’ is simply praising him!”
