Their eyes met, and the secretary couldn’t help but frown.

Just as he was about to ask “How did you get here?”, Mike Taylor walked out and said with a smile, “Ethan Smith, relax and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

“I understand, Mike Taylor.” Ethan Smith bowed respectfully.

Seeing the conversation between the two, the secretary’s face became even more unsightly, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Obviously, not only was Emily Taylor fond of Ethan Smith, but the person controlling power in the Taylor family also thought highly of Ethan.

What could he, a mere secretary, say?

“Mr. Smith, please… get in the car.” The secretary opened the car door for Ethan Smith.

Luckily, Ethan was not a petty person, and he didn’t say anything more, just got into the car.

The car raced toward the party.

On the way, Emily Taylor told Ethan Smith that there were many such social gatherings in their circle.

On the surface, it seemed like eating, drinking, and having fun, but the real purpose was to increase cohesion and communication among the various families.

As long as there are people, there will always be cliques, and this is especially true for large families.

The car arrived at a hotel.

The hotel had been rented out, and the entrance was filled with luxury cars.

Emily Taylor pointed to the cars outside and said, “Look at the models outside. If there are more business vehicles, it means it’s a business gathering.”

“On the other hand, if there are more flashy sports cars, it’s a gathering for wealthy youths.”

Ethan Smith nodded, but today there were both business vehicles and sports cars parked outside.

After parking the car, Emily Taylor took the initiative to link arms with Ethan Smith.

“Let’s go.” Emily Taylor winked.

Ethan Smith looked down at Emily Taylor, who was holding onto his arm and couldn’t help but blush, “Are you… afraid of people misunderstanding?”

Hearing this, Emily Taylor winked and said, “Don’t you want to declare your territory?”

Ethan Smith was stunned, and took a deep breath, nodded firmly and said, “Of course, I want to! I will tell everyone that you are mine.”

With that said, Ethan Smith took the initiative to wrap his arm around Emily Taylor and walked into the hotel.

The party was set on the top floor, where there were no rooms, only a grand hall.

The security arrangements for the party were extremely strict, and as soon as they arrived at the top floor, they saw two people guarding the entrance.

These two bodyguards were actually Grandmasters!

“Grandmasters as security guards,” Ethan Smith stuck out his tongue. “That’s crazy!”

Even now, Ethan Smith still didn’t know the true power behind these great families!

He was even less clear about how many top martial artists they had raised!

Pushing the door open, a wave of music filled their ears.

Unlike ordinary parties, the music here was not noisy but extremely elegant and pleasant.

Emily Taylor’s arrival immediately attracted countless gazes.

“Miss Taylor.” Soon, someone came over with a wine glass in hand.

They bowed humbly and greeted Emily Taylor, their posture appearing extremely peaceful.

But Ethan Smith knew very well that this so-called attitude was all pretense.

In other words, the attitude depended on the person.

Today at this party, they were all polite and elegant, but in front of ordinary people, they were all extremely arrogant and looked down on others.

“Miss Taylor, who is this?” Soon, someone looked towards Ethan Smith.

Before Emily Taylor could answer, Ethan Smith pulled her into his arms and said, “My name is Ethan Smith, and I am Emily Taylor’s boyfriend.”

As soon as these words came out, the entire room was stunned!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and even the music stopped playing!

“Miss Taylor, this… this gentleman must be joking, right?”Everyone’s gaze turned to Emily Taylor, apparently waiting for her answer.

Emily Taylor glanced at Ethan Smith and then said with a faint smile, “That’s right, Ethan is indeed my boyfriend.”

Hiss!

At this moment, countless people gasped in surprise!

Everyone in Capital City knew that Emily Taylor was famously cold and unapproachable. Though there were endless pursuers, none had ever succeeded!

But today, this Ethan Smith suddenly appeared, and no one had ever heard of him before!

“Mr… Mr. Smith.” Someone took the lead and quickly raised their glass to toast with Ethan Smith.

Subsequently, the rest followed suit, introducing themselves to Ethan Smith one after another.

Ethan Smith responded to them one by one. Within half an hour, he had drunk more than a pound of foreign liquor.

Finally finding a moment of respite, he managed to find a place to sit down.

Ethan Smith wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, “These people really are quite enthusiastic, making me feel a bit embarrassed.”

Emily Taylor shook her head, “Don’t be swayed by their superficial warmth. These people are only out for their own interests. Today they can treat you like a brother, but tomorrow they might turn their backs on you.”

As more interests became involved, human nature became more complex.

To them, emotions were a luxury.

After the crowd dispersed, they began whispering to one another.

“What’s the background of this Ethan Smith? How come we’ve never heard of him before?”

“I don’t know. There’s no such person in Capital City, is there?”

“To win over Miss Taylor, this is really a praiseworthy achievement.”

“Speaking of which, isn’t Dexter Blair, the young master of the Blair family, always pursuing Emily Taylor? If this gets to the Blair family’s ears, then…”

“The main thing is to see Mike Taylor’s attitude. As long as Emperor Taylor makes a decision, the Blair family can do nothing but watch.”

Although their voices were very low, Ethan Smith still heard them clearly.

He frowned slightly, silently thinking to himself.

Today’s move might indeed bring him a lot of trouble.

Of course, Ethan Smith was not afraid. Since he dared to say it, he dared to bear it.

“Miss Taylor.” At this moment, a man with a tiger-like stride approached from a short distance away.

Although this man wasn’t particularly muscular, his steps were steady, and his breathing was both profound and subtle.

Ethan Smith took a closer look and couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.

When facing this person, it was as if he was facing a vast ocean, impossible to see its end.

“Grandmaster Peak? Or even…someone who has surpassed the Grandmaster?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but wonder.

Emily Taylor stood up and smiled, “Mr. Holmes.”

The man called Mr. Holmes chuckled, “Miss Taylor, your words truly shocked everyone. Your statement today surely crushed many people’s dreams.”

While talking, Mr. Holmes exuded a formidable pressure.

The terrifying pressure was directed straight at Ethan Smith!

This pressure was beyond imagination, and even Ethan Smith couldn’t withstand it.

He trembled all over, as if he was about to be crushed to the ground at any moment.

Facing an opponent far superior to himself, Ethan Smith struggled to resist, mobilizing the spiritual power within his body.

Between the two, an intense confrontation ensued, making it seem as if even the air was quivering.

Sweat dripped from Ethan Smith’s forehead. Facing this powerful force, Ethan struggled to withstand it and was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Mr. Holmes withdrew his pressure at this moment, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

“Miss Taylor, what’s the background of this Ethan Smith? How come I’ve never heard of him before?” Mr. Holmes asked with a smile.

Emily Taylor thought for a moment and said, “Hmm… he is a man who will stand at the pinnacle of Capital City in the future.”
