Chapter 82 - 81: Emily Taylor Kidnapped_l
Ethan Smith looked at William Richardson for a while before finally sitting down.
He was actually quite interested in what Stephen Hill would say.
“Ethan, I didn’t expect you to grow so fast,” William Richardson said with some politeness.
Stephen Hill also sighed, “Nowadays, young people really surprise us.”
Ethan cast a glance at Stephen Hill and said, “If you have something to say, just say it directly. I’m quite busy, and I have things to do later.”
William Richardson frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Ethan’s attitude.
However, given the current situation, he couldn’t say anything and looked at Stephen Hill instead.
Stephen Hill coughed and said, “Ethan, from beginning to end, our Hill family didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.”
“You broke my son’s arm, but I didn’t take any extreme actions. So, if you think about it, it seems that we don’t have any grievances that can’t be resolved, right?” Stephen Hill said with a smile.
Ethan looked at Stephen Hill and spoke with a half-smile, “Stephen, is that what you really think? If I didn’t have the Soul Nourishment Pill, would you be sitting here having a peaceful conversation with me?” Stephen Hill laughed loudly, “Nothing is absolute.”
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, “There has to be an end to this matter. We’re all sitting here today, giving me face. Why don’t we do this?”
He paused and pointed to Stephen Hill, “Both of your families work together, grow stronger together, and make money together. Isn’t that good?”
“Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking! With the strength of our Hill family and the Soul Nourishment Pill in your hands, we’ll definitely grow big!” Stephen Hill quickly picked up a wine glass and said.
However, Ethan didn’t show any intention of picking up the wine glass, instead sneering endlessly.
“Stephen, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with me now?” Ethan asked coldly.
Stephen Hill’s face changed instantly. He didn’t expect Ethan to be so straightforward! He also didn’t expect Ethan to be so arrogant!
“Stephen, let me tell you the truth, I can heal your son’s arm, and when I first met you, I had considered healing his arm,” Ethan said coldly. “But it’s a pity that your arrogant attitude made me hesitate.”
“By now, I have no intention of having any relationship with you.”
After hearing Ethan’s words, Stephen Hill hurriedly asked with some urgency, “Ethan, are you serious? Can you really heal my son’s arm?”
“Absolutely,” Ethan said coldly.
Stephen Hill’s expression became somewhat excited.
He swallowed and pleaded, “Ethan, if you can heal my son’s arm, I’m willing to agree to anything!”
“I can give you 10%…no, 30% of my company’s shares!” Stephen Hill said anxiously.
Ethan shook his head, “I told you, I absolutely will not cooperate with you.”
Stephen Hill gritted his teeth and said, “Forget about the cooperation for now. Just heal my son’s arm, please!”
Having said that, Stephen Hill actually stood up and knelt down in front of Ethan.
This surprised Ethan greatly.
He couldn’t imagine that someone like Stephen Hill would condescend to kneel before him!
“A father’s love indeed runs deep,” Ethan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
He pondered for a moment and then said, “I can heal your son’s arm, but…
cooperation is absolutely impossible unless you are willing to work for me.” Stephen Hill gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, I agree!”
Ethan nodded slightly and said, “Tell your son to come to my house tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes!” 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 tonight’s 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.
“Let’s wish everything goes smoothly!” 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, Ethan’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Emily Taylor’s secretary calling.
Ethan couldn’t help but frown as he put down the wine glass and politely said,
“I’m sorry, I need to take a call first.”
As soon as the call connected, Ethan heard the secretary anxiously say, “Ethan,
Miss Emily has been kidnapped!”
“What?!” Ethan’s face changed instantly, and a murderous spirit filled the entire room!
“What happened?” Ethan asked urgently.
The secretary quickly recounted the situation to Ethan.
“I’ve notified all parties in River City, but Miss Emily’s whereabouts are still unknown,” the secretary said with some pain.
Ethan’s 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, “I’m coming over right now.”
“Ethan, what happened?” After hanging up the phone, William Richardson asked.
Ethan didn’t have time to explain to them, so he looked at William Richardson and said, “Lend me your car.”
“Ah? If there’s something, I can let someone drive you there,” William Richardson said.
“No need.” Ethan grabbed the car keys from the table and walked away without a word.
On the way, Ethan sped to the Taylor family’s 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 Richardson’s face turned extremely ugly.
“William, what’s going on?” Stephen Hill asked in confusion.
William Richardson took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Someone has kidnapped Emily Taylor.”
“What?!” Hearing this, Stephen Hill jumped up!
“Who… Who has such guts? Don’t they want to live?” Stephen Hill stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in shock.
William Richardson didn’t say anything, just sighed, “River City…l’m afraid things are about to change..”
