Emily Taylor spoke very seriously.
However, others found her words somewhat amusing.
“Miss Taylor, are you serious?” Mr. Holmes shook his head.
“What do you think?” Emily Taylor retorted.
Mr. Holmes let out a bitter smile and said, “Miss Taylor, I can understand if the Taylor family wants to cultivate new talents.”
“But you’re saying he’ll stand at the peak of Capital City? What kind of position is that? Mike Taylor’s current position?”
Emily Taylor thought for a moment and said, “No, he will surpass my grandfather.”
“Pfft!” Mr. Holmes couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Miss Taylor, how many people in the whole Capital City can be above Mike Taylor?”
After saying that, Mr. Holmes looked at Ethan Smith and said, “Judging by his age, he must be thirty, right? A thirty-year-old man who has achieved nothing. How much room is there for future growth?”
Emily Taylor didn’t seem willing to argue with Mr. Holmes, so she grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm and said with a smile, “Let’s go over there.”
“Alright.” Ethan Smith nodded.
Mr. Holmes was left aside, but he did not show any displeasure.
After listening to their conversation, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
His achievements in Chuzzle had earned him the title of King of Chuzzle.
However, upon entering Capital City, he was deemed to have achieved nothing.
This gap was really hard to accept.
“You don’t have to care about what others say. They are just shortsighted people.” Emily Taylor smiled and said.
Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I’ve never cared. I only care about your opinion.”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Who is this Mr. Holmes?”
“He’s a high-ranking member of the Capital City Martial Arts Association. His position in the martial arts world is quite high,” Emily Taylor said.
Ethan Smith suddenly realized.
No wonder his strength was so extraordinary, even the pressure alone made Ethan feel an immense pressure.
This gathering, as Emily Taylor said, seemed to be about connecting with others, but in fact, it was about building one’s own circle and consolidating one’s position in the business world.
Ethan Smith glanced around and saw many martial arts masters present today, but they were not from martial arts families.
On the contrary, these martial arts masters served as private bodyguards for these businessmen.
While their status was not low, it was not very high either.
Many people came to the gathering to establish connections with Emily Taylor.
Some also turned their attention to Ethan Smith, offering him drinks and business cards.
Of course, many people remained neutral.
After all, they all knew that Dexter Blair, the son of the Blair family, had always been interested in Emily Taylor.
Marriage in a large family, however, was not a personal decision.
The gathering didn’t end until after ten o’clock that night. When Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor returned, Mike Taylor had already gone to bed.
The Taylor family had arranged a room for Ethan Smith early on. Under the guidance of the servants, Ethan entered his room.
As he lay in bed, tossing and turning, he couldn’t fall asleep.
“Attending this gathering might have caused quite a bit of trouble.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
The next morning.
The news of Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor attending the gathering made the headlines of various newspapers!
Whether it was the Martial Arts Forum, local news, or even financial news, they all reported the event.
“Last night, the young lady of the Taylor family attended a gathering with a mysterious man, claiming to be her boyfriend.”
“Reports say that a mysterious man stayed at the Taylor residence late at night, has Miss Taylor found her true love?”
Seeing the overwhelming news, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a headache.
He had expected some commotion, but he didn’t expect the impact to be so great!
Mike Taylor couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the news.
“Sir, Ethan Smith’s name will soon be known all over Capital City,” the steward commented with a bitter smile.
Mike Taylor leaned back with his hands behind him and slowly said, “That’s my goal. Everything has its pros and cons. There are advantages, and naturally, there are disadvantages.”
“That being said, are we not giving the Blair family any face by doing this?” the steward couldn’t help but ask.
Mike Taylor snorted and said, “Why should I give them face? What, do I have to consider the Blair family in everything I do?”
“Of course, the Blair family wouldn’t dare do anything to you, but as for Ethan Smith… it’s hard to say,” the steward muttered.
Mike Taylor said indifferently, “Then it’s none of my business. People must grow in adversity.”
At this point, Mike Taylor looked at the steward and said, “Go find out about the Blair family’s attitude.”
“Yes, sir.” The steward bowed and then slowly left.
At the Blair residence, Dexter Blair was trembling with anger after seeing the news.
Many newspapers referred to Ethan Smith as Emily Taylor’s boyfriend, and some even directly called him “son-in-law of the Taylor family.”
How could Dexter endure this!
He tore the newspaper in front of him to shreds, gritting his teeth and saying, “Son-in-law of the Taylor family? Is Ethan Smith worthy?”
“Go find the person in charge of these newspapers right now! Have them take down the news immediately!” Dexter demanded angrily.
The steward standing beside him didn’t dare to say anything and just nodded quickly, “Yes, Mr. Tenny, I will take care of it right away….”
Just then, Reilly Blair entered from outside the door.
Seeing Reilly Blair, Dexter Blair immediately stood up and bowed, “Dad, Emily Taylor actually brought Ethan Smith to a public gathering. It’s like slapping our family in the face!”
Reilly Blair raises his hand and slapped Dexter Blair across the face, coldly saying, “If you had eliminated him earlier, would there be any of this nonsense!”
“Because of you, we’re now stuck in a situation where we can neither act nor remain passive. You’ve lost face for the Blair family!”
Dexter Blair regretted not killing Ethan Smith back then, which would have avoided all this trouble.
“Dad, should our family respond to this? Otherwise … wouldn’t we be laughed at?” Dexter Blair asked quietly.
Reilly Blair lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled, shook his head and said, “No. The Taylor family’s matters should be resolved by the Taylor family.”
“I’ve contacted Kylan Taylor, and he’ll be here soon.”
Dexter Blair quickly stood up and said, “Dad, I understand!”
While they were talking, a servant from downstairs called.
“Sir, Mr. Kylan Taylor is here.”
