Reilly Blair agreed, then looked at Dexter Blair coldly and said, âCome with me. Letâs go meet your Uncle Taylor.â
âYes,â Dexter nodded repeatedly.
The two men went downstairs.
Upon facing Kylan Taylor, Reillyâs expression immediately changed.
He went over to shake hands with Kylan, exchanging a greeting.
Dexter hurriedly exclaimed, âNice to see you again, Uncle Taylor!â
Kylan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Reilly.
âOld Taylor, you already know what happened yesterday, right?â Reilly cut to the chase.
Kylan lit a cigar and snorted, âIt was such a big fuss, who wouldnât know?â
Reilly frowned, âEveryone knows that our Blair family intends to marry into Taylor family. But now, Emily humiliated us in public, saying Ethan is her boyfriend. Isnât this slapping the Blair family in the face?â
Kylan glanced at Reilly and sneered, âEmily is just a young girl. What can she decide?â
âOld Taylor, I think you are not quite right. As far as I know, Mike Taylor has always regarded her as his treasure. Emilyâs status in the Taylor family is not less than yours, right?â Reilly stated bluntly, without any tact.
Kylanâs face instantly turned sour.
He humphed, âMy father has always been partial to her, and I donât know why.â
âIn terms of ability, I am above her, and as for seniority, I am his eldest son!â
âHer having such a high say is all because of my fatherâs backing!â
Kylan grew angrier as he spoke, his face flushing red, as if he was about to slam the table.
Reilly waved his hand and said, âAlright, Old Taylor, letâs discuss how to solve this matter first.â
âI suggest you come forward for an interview, saying that the Taylor family has never acknowledged Ethan Smith as their son-in-law.â
Kylan glanced at Reilly and said coldly, âWhatâs the rush? Isnât my father still sitting over there?â
Reillyâs brow furrowed. It was evident that Kylan still feared Mike Taylor.
âDonât worry, my father will host a banquet in a few days. By then, I will naturally find an opportunity to clarify,â Kylan gestured.
âHost a banquet? Iâve never heard about this,â Reilly frowned.
âYouâll know soon enough,â Kylan stood and said.
âMy father doesnât have much time left. Once he dies, Iâll kill Ethan Smith immediately,â Kylan glanced at Reilly, giving the Blair family some assurance.
âWith that, I am reassured,â Reilly nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ethan was accompanying Mike Taylor in a game of chess.
However, Ethan seemed to be somewhat distracted.
He occasionally looked up at Mike, and a hint of worry spread across his face.
âWhatâs wrong today?â Mike glanced at Ethan and asked.
Ethan took a deep breath and said, âMike, can I check your health?â
âCheck my health?â Mike seemed puzzled.
Ethan said, âI donât know how to explain it to you, but I have to tell you.â
âI can see the death qi in the center of your brow, and it is getting more serious.â
Mike chuckled, âAnd then?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ethan was silent for a while, then said, âAccording to the death qi on your brow, you donât seem to have died of natural causes.â
Over the last few days, Ethan had noticed this issue. Normally, natural death would result in death qi concentrated at the life palace.
But the death qi on Mikeâs brow was moving upward.
This was definitely not a sign of natural death.
So, Ethan couldnât help but suspect that Mike had contracted some illness.
Regarding Ethanâs words, Mike seemed unfazed.
He put down the chess piece and said calmly, âThere are many reasons for death. Sometimes, even if itâs not the end of oneâs life, itâs still fate.â
âMy fate says I will die this year, and I will die for sure. Are you trying to go against the heavens?â
Ethan became somewhat agitated, âCultivation is all about going against the heavens! Mike, as long as your life is not exhausted, I can cure you!â
Mike waved his hand and said, âItâs different. If you forcefully change the course of fate, it will definitely affect yourself.ââIâm just an old man, and Iâve lived long enough.â
Ethan Smith didnât want to hear this. With a hint of pleading, he said, âMr. Mike Taylor, just let me examine you, alright?â
âIf I say no, it means no!â Mike Taylor responded, somewhat annoyed.
âNo more talking about this!â
Leaving these words, Mike Taylor walked away with a cold face.
Ethan Smith was extremely puzzled by Mike Taylorâs attitude.
He couldnât understand why Mike Taylor was so resistant.
âI wonât let you die.â Watching Mike Taylorâs retreating figure, Ethan Smith was determined.
For the next few days, Ethan Smith played chess with Mike Taylor every day.
Ethan Smith didnât bring up the topic again, but the dead aura between Mike Taylorâs eyebrows grew more severe.
At this rate, Mike Taylor probably wouldnât live past three days.
His health deteriorated rapidly, and if it werenât for the herbs sustaining him, Mike Taylor might have already been bedridden.
On this morning,
Emily Taylor dressed up carefully and even made breakfast personally.
When Ethan and Mike Taylor got up, Emily Taylor smiled, âHurry, letâs eat, and then letâs go out together.â
Mike Taylor was surprised, âGo out? Where to?â
âAh, grandfather, you canât always stay at home. Letâs go on a trip to North Province Island for a change of scenery. Itâs good for your health,â Emily Taylor laughed.
Mike Taylor waved his hands repeatedly, âThereâs no need. Iâm good playing chess at home.â
âNo way!â Emily Taylor glared.
âNo matter what, I found some free time today, and weâre going!â Emily Taylor insisted confidently.
Left with no choice, Mike Taylor agreed, âAlright, alright, Iâll listen to you.â
After hastily eating, a Mercedes-Benz S450 was parked outside.
âGrandpa, get in the car.â Emily Taylor ran over and opened the door for Mike Taylor.
Once the two got in, Emily Taylor took the wheel and headed towards North Province Island.
North Province Island was a famous scenic spot in Capital City.
To get there from Capital City, they had to take a ferry across the ocean.
Moreover, the owner of North Province Island was a well-known figure in Capital City.
The three of them arrived at the ferry terminal, parked their car, and queued up to buy tickets.
The line for tickets was long, and the place was overcrowded with tourists.
It took Emily Taylor nearly an hour to reach the front of the line, and just as it was her turn, two young men suddenly cut in front of her.
Emily Taylorâs brow furrowed. She tapped the young man on the shoulder and asked, âDonât you know how to queue?â
The young man turned to look at Emily Taylor and was instantly captivated.
This woman is so beautiful!
The young man couldnât help but swallow, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
âDid you not hear her say to get in line?â Ethan Smith didnât like the look in the young manâs eyes and coldly spoke up.
Only then did the young man regain his senses. He glared at Ethan Smith and said, âI never wait in line to buy tickets! Stop talking nonsense!â
Then he shouted at the ticket window, âIâll take all the tickets you got!â
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smithâs face darkened.
âIf you buy all the tickets, what about the rest of the people?â Ethan asked, holding back his anger.
The young man sneered, âWhatâs it got to do with me? I want to buy tickets, and itâs none of your business!â
Ethan Smith coldly stared at the young man, âYou better return those tickets right now.â
âYo, are you trying to scare me? Do you know who I am?â The young man laughed sarcastically.
Just as Ethan Smith was about to speak, Mike Taylor stepped forward and calmly said, âYoung man, donât be too arrogant; you might get into trouble.â
The young man glanced at Mike Taylor, annoyed, âWho are you, some old geezer? Whatâs it got to do with you? Did I ask for your opinion?â
