Ethan Smith shook his head and said, âItâs nothing.â
Jovan Levine awkwardly said, âIâm really sorry for startling you. Donât worry,
Iâll take care of them!â
Timothy Miller and others on the side had an extremely ugly expression on their faces.
Whatâs going on? Does Ethan Smith really know Jovan Levine?
Moreoverâ¦Jovan Levineâs posture was a bit too humble, right? As a social climber, Timothy Miller was the first to react. âBrother Ethan, I was blind. 1â¦1 apologize to you!â
After saying that, Timothy Miller started slapping his own face!
While slapping himself, he said, âBrother Ethan, do you feel better now? If youâre not satisfied, Iâll keep slapping myself while kneeling here!â
Seeing Timothy Millerâs demeanor, Ethan Smith couldnât help but sneer.
It turned out that the bully, Timothy Miller, was so humble when facing people of high status. It was really ridiculous.
âAlright, Timothy Miller, starting from today, youâre no longer part of our Levine Real Estate,â Jovan Levine impatiently waved his hand.
âThe same goes for all of you.â Jovan Levine pointed at Ethan Smithâs classmates and said.
These people were immediately in a panic.
Especially Timothy Miller, who desperately kowtowed to Ethan Smith, saying, âBrother Ethan, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, just let me off like a fartâ¦â
Ethan Smith was too lazy to bother with people like Timothy Miller, so he said nothing.
âMr. Smith, letâs go eat now. The food is already prepared,â Jovan Levine politely stated.
Ethan Smith nodded and followed Jovan Levine, leaving the private room.
The two came to another relatively luxurious private room and sat down.
The table was already filled with dishes.
Evelyn Norton was sitting there, smiling at Ethan Smith.
âWhere did Brother Ethan go?â Evelyn laughed.
Ethan Smith casually answered, âI ran into an acquaintance and went to take a look. â
Bringing up this topic, Jovan Levine poured himself a glass ot wine and said, âMr. Smith, itâs all my fault. Iâll finish this glass!â
After saying that, Jovan Levine raised the glass and finished it in one gulp. Ethan Smith smiled, âMr. Levine, it has nothing to do with you.â
âAfter all, they are our companyâs people. How can it not be related?â Jovan Levine chuckled.
It was evident that Jovan Levineâs attitude towards Ethan Smith was somewhat humble.
âJovan, donât worry, Ethan is not that kind of petty person,â Evelyn smiled faintly from the side.
âYes, yes, of course,â Jovan Levine hastily nodded.
After the third round of wine and five courses of dishes had passedâ¦
At the end of the dinner, Jovan Levine suddenly stood up and said, âMr. Smith, I might have to trouble you in the future. Our familyâs health is not very good.â Ethan Smith nodded slightly, âAlright.â
âThank you so much, Mr. Smith!â Jovan Levine couldnât help but excitedly exclaim.
With the strength of the Levine family, they couldnât possibly invite an elder from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
For businessmen like them, it was common for their health to be in poor condition.
With Ethan Smithâs words, it was like having an extra life.
Jovan Levine had prepared the room early, so after dinner, he drove Ethan Smith and Evelyn Norton to the hotel.
âBrother Ethan, donât forget the promise you made to me-â As they were about to return to their rooms, Evelyn said with a smile.
Ethan Smith nodded, âDonât worry.â
That night, Ethan Smith slept uneasily.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, he couldnât wait for the arrival of the next day.
At eight oâclock the next morning, Ethan Smith left the hotel early and headed for the Taylor family.
Taylor family.
As Mike Taylorâs health deteriorated, the Taylor familyâs authority gradually expanded in a subtle way.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
These days, Mike Taylor was almost sitting in his room all day, playing chess and drinking tea.
At this time, the Steward walked over.
He stood next to Mike Taylor and whispered, âMaster, Kylan Taylor has already taken action against Miss Taylorâs people. âUpon hearing this, Mike Taylorâs hand holding the chess piece suddenly stiffened in mid-air.
He put down the chess piece in his hand and slowly sighed, âKylan has already been developing his own forces for some time now. It seems that itâs impossible for him to show mercy to his subordinates.â
âYeah.â The steward couldnât help but sigh as well.
âWhether itâs in the business world, politics, or battlefields, young master
Kylan possesses the most powerful strength.â
Mike Taylor had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
The struggle within a large family would never cease.
As his son, Mike Taylor couldnât take any drastic measures against Kylan.
Internal and external troubles were giving Mike Taylor a headache.
At this moment, the nanny came up from downstairs.
âSir, Ethan Smith is here,â said the nanny.
âEthan Smith?â A look of surprise flashed across Mike Taylorâs face.
Then, Mike Taylor smiled and said, âLet him come up.â
âYes, sir,â said the nanny, slightly bowing.
A few minutes later, Ethan Smith came up from downstairs.
âMike Taylor,â Ethan Smith stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Mike Taylor chuckled, âCome and sit.â
Ethan Smith walked over to Mike Taylorâs side.
His facial expression didnât look too good because the dead energy in Mike Taylorâs brow had expanded even more.
Such an extent of dead energy indicated that Mike Taylor might not live much longer.
âCare for a game?â Mike Taylor asked with a smile.
âSure!â Ethan Smith nodded vigorously.
This time, Mike Taylorâs style of play turned cold and ruthless, almost finishing Ethan Smith off as quickly as possible in every game.
After fighting several games, Ethan Smithâs style also became more mature and experienced.
Unlike Mike Taylorâs decisive approach, Ethan Smithâs style was extremely stable, like an impregnable wall.
In other words, Mike Taylor was the sharpest spear, and Ethan Smith was the sturdiest shield.
After an entire morning, Ethan Smith finally launched a counterattack in the last game.
This counterattack caught Mike Taylor off guard.
In a few short moves, Mike Taylor ran out of options, and all his chess pieces were eaten cleanly by Ethan Smith.
âHahaha! â
This made Mike Taylor laugh heartily as he stroked his beard.
He looked at Ethan Smith appreciatively and said, âEach move involves the overall situation. It seems like defeat, but it contains hidden dangers. Once a counterattack is launched, the opponent has nowhere to escape. Well done, well done!â
As the saying goes, a chess game reflects life itself.
The style of play shows the attitude during the competition.
âMike Taylor, youâre too kind. Facing a strong opponent like you, I dare not attack rashly,â Ethan Smith said modestly.
As with this game, Ethan Smith dared not act recklessly when facing the gigantic aristocratic family of Capital City.
What he could do was to bide his time and seize opportunities.
âEthan Smith, you should know that my days are numbered,â Mike Taylor suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Mike Taylorâs face suddenly turned a bit cold.
He stared at Ethan Smith and said, âYou should be well aware of the situation in the Taylor family. If I die, Emily wonât be a match for Kylan.â
âBut they are all my closest relatives, and I donât want them to kill each other either.â
âSo, Iâm giving you two choices now,â Mike Taylor said coldly.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, âPlease, go on.â
âFirst, give up on Emily. Iâll give you a sum of money, and Iâll make sure you have treatment and resources no less than those of an elegantly dressed young man. This is also in line with your life strategy.â Mike Taylor said.
âAs for whether you can snatch Emily back in the future, thatâs up to your own abilities.â
At this point, Mike Taylor paused and continued, âAs for the second choice, you might face both the Taylor family and the Blair family as your enemies.â âOnce Iâm gone, they wonât show you any mercy.â
âBy then, you might die, and Emily will be implicated because of you..â
