Ethan Smith looked at William Richardson for a while before finally sitting down.
He was actually quite interested in what Stephen Hill would say.
âEthan, I didnât expect you to grow so fast,â William Richardson said with some politeness.
Stephen Hill also sighed, âNowadays, young people really surprise us.â
Ethan cast a glance at Stephen Hill and said, âIf you have something to say, just say it directly. Iâm quite busy, and I have things to do later.â
William Richardson frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Ethanâs attitude.
However, given the current situation, he couldnât say anything and looked at Stephen Hill instead.
Stephen Hill coughed and said, âEthan, from beginning to end, our Hill family didnât do anything wrong in this matter.â
âYou broke my sonâs arm, but I didnât take any extreme actions. So, if you think about it, it seems that we donât have any grievances that canât be resolved, right?â Stephen Hill said with a smile.
Ethan looked at Stephen Hill and spoke with a half-smile, âStephen, is that what you really think? If I didnât have the Soul Nourishment Pill, would you be sitting here having a peaceful conversation with me?â Stephen Hill laughed loudly, âNothing is absolute.â
Ethan sneered repeatedly.
He had already promised Emily Taylor that even if Stephen Hill begged him, he would never give him a way out.
People like Stephen Hill, once turned over, would definitely bite back.
William Richardson coughed and said, âThere has to be an end to this matter. Weâre all sitting here today, giving me face. Why donât we do this?â
He paused and pointed to Stephen Hill, âBoth of your families work together, grow stronger together, and make money together. Isnât that good?â
âYes, yes, thatâs exactly what I was thinking! With the strength of our Hill family and the Soul Nourishment Pill in your hands, weâll definitely grow big!â Stephen Hill quickly picked up a wine glass and said.
However, Ethan didnât show any intention of picking up the wine glass, instead sneering endlessly.
âStephen, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with me now?â Ethan asked coldly.
Stephen Hillâs face changed instantly. He didnât expect Ethan to be so straightforward! He also didnât expect Ethan to be so arrogant!
âStephen, let me tell you the truth, I can heal your sonâs arm, and when I first met you, I had considered healing his arm,â Ethan said coldly. âBut itâs a pity that your arrogant attitude made me hesitate.â
âBy now, I have no intention of having any relationship with you.â
After hearing Ethanâs words, Stephen Hill hurriedly asked with some urgency, âEthan, are you serious? Can you really heal my sonâs arm?â
âAbsolutely,â Ethan said coldly.
Stephen Hillâs expression became somewhat excited.
He swallowed and pleaded, âEthan, if you can heal my sonâs arm, Iâm willing to agree to anything!â
âI can give you 10%â¦no, 30% of my companyâs shares!â Stephen Hill said anxiously.
Ethan shook his head, âI told you, I absolutely will not cooperate with you.â
Stephen Hill gritted his teeth and said, âForget about the cooperation for now. Just heal my sonâs arm, please!â
Having said that, Stephen Hill actually stood up and knelt down in front of Ethan.
This surprised Ethan greatly.
He couldnât imagine that someone like Stephen Hill would condescend to kneel before him!
âA fatherâs love indeed runs deep,â Ethan couldnât help but sigh in his heart.
He pondered for a moment and then said, âI can heal your sonâs arm, butâ¦
cooperation is absolutely impossible unless you are willing to work for me.â Stephen Hill gritted his teeth and said, âFine, I agree!â
Ethan nodded slightly and said, âTell your son to come to my house tomorrow.â
âYes, yes!â Stephen Hill stood up and thanked Ethan repeatedly.
William Richardson, sitting beside them, was lost in thought.
At this moment, his impression of Ethan changed somehow.
He originally thought that Ethan was a good-for-nothing, but through tonightâs dinner party, William Richardson discovered that Ethan had a good sense of propriety and great ambition.
Facing the olive branch thrown by the Hill family, Ethan had no interest in it, and instead chose to devour them.
For ordinary people, this might be too ruthless, but it was a necessary rule for business.
For a young man who had just stepped into the business world, it was indeed surprising to William Richardson.
âLetâs wish everything goes smoothly!â William Richardson picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.
This time, Ethan picked up his wine glass.
Just as they were about to clink glasses, Ethanâs phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Emily Taylorâs secretary calling.
Ethan couldnât help but frown as he put down the wine glass and politely said,
âIâm sorry, I need to take a call first.â
As soon as the call connected, Ethan heard the secretary anxiously say, âEthan,
Miss Emily has been kidnapped!â
âWhat?!â Ethanâs face changed instantly, and a murderous spirit filled the entire room!
âWhat happened?â Ethan asked urgently.
The secretary quickly recounted the situation to Ethan.
âIâve notified all parties in River City, but Miss Emilyâs whereabouts are still unknown,â the secretary said with some pain.
Ethanâs face was extremely cold, and anger rushed to his brain in an instant!
For Ethan, Emily Taylor was the light of his life.
Ethan could not care about anything else, but he would never allow anyone to harm Emily!
He took a deep breath and said, âIâm coming over right now.â
âEthan, what happened?â After hanging up the phone, William Richardson asked.
Ethan didnât have time to explain to them, so he looked at William Richardson and said, âLend me your car.â
âAh? If thereâs something, I can let someone drive you there,â William Richardson said.
âNo need.â Ethan grabbed the car keys from the table and walked away without a word.
On the way, Ethan sped to the Taylor familyâs Estate, pressing the accelerator to the point of almost breaking, and running countless red lights.
Passers-by cursed at Ethan and regarded him as a street racer.
After Ethan left, William Richardson quickly received the call and learned the news.
Upon hanging up, William Richardsonâs face turned extremely ugly.
âWilliam, whatâs going on?â Stephen Hill asked in confusion.
William Richardson took a deep breath and said solemnly, âSomeone has kidnapped Emily Taylor.â
âWhat?!â Hearing this, Stephen Hill jumped up!
âWho⦠Who has such guts? Donât they want to live?â Stephen Hill stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in shock.
William Richardson didnât say anything, just sighed, âRiver Cityâ¦lâm afraid things are about to change..â
