Chapter 318: 318: Meeting Emily Taylor_1

Without saying anything more, one of the bodyguards turned around and walked into the Taylor family’s estate.

Inside the villa, Emily Taylor was sitting by the window, flipping through a document in her hands.

Emily had always been attentive to the company’s operations, and Old Master Mike Taylor was intentionally cultivating her.

At that moment, there came a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Emily said without even raising her head.

The door opened slowly, revealing the house steward standing outside. “Miss Taylor, there’s a man outside who claims to be Ethan Smith looking for you,” said the steward, bowing.

Upon hearing the name, Emily’s face seemed somewhat bewildered. She hurriedly looked at the steward and asked, “What did you say his name

“Ethan Smith,” the steward repeated.

Hurriedly, Emily threw down the document in her hands and turned to race downstairs.

She never imagined that Ethan would come to Capital City to find her!

And she never expected that he would have the courage to visit her in person!

The Taylor family’s estate was vast; it took a car ride to get from the villa to the main gate.

A red sports car sped through the estate.

Just a moment later, the sound of the screeching brakes reached Ethan’s ears.

Ethan looked up, staring intently towards the direction of the entrance.

His heart was pounding with excitement, almost as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

The big gate opened slowly, and a beautiful young woman appeared at the entrance.

Her long, pitch-black hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and her rosy, almond-shaped face shone brightly. With a graceful and charming figure, she simply took Ethan’s breath away.

Her eyes darted around and quickly found Ethan in the crowd.

Emily’s face instantly filled with a smile. She quickly walked over to Ethan, barely believing the reality before her eyes.

“You’re here so soon?” Emily asked on her tiptoes, lightly patting Ethan’s head.

Ethan calmed himself and forced back his excitement, smiling, “I couldn’t wait any longer.”

Emily smiled tenderly, “I’ve heard about your achievements, King of Chuzzle, and you’re really impressive.”

Ethan was filled with mixed emotions; he hadn’t expected Emily to be following his every move so closely.

“Emily, I missed you so much,” Ethan said, unable to contain his emotions. Under the bright sky, he boldly embraced Emily.

Here, right at the entrance to the Taylor family’s estate, every movement was under surveillance.

Even in this situation, Ethan held Emily in his arms.

Emily looked somewhat dazed for a moment, but she quickly laughed and placed her arm over Ethan’s shoulder.

The bodyguards within the estate were dumbstruck.

One of them even angrily said, “This little bastard, how dare he lay his hands on Miss Taylor! He’s such a scum.”

Ethan buried his face in Emily’s long hair.

Breathing in the scent that wafted up from her body, Ethan couldn’t forget it for a long time.

After holding her for some time, he reluctantly let Emily go.

“I wish I could hold you like this forever,” Ethan said, looking infatuated. Emily blushed and playfully scolded, “Behave yourself!”

At this point, Emily suddenly said, “Your visit this time… It isn’t just to see me, is it?”

Ethan shook his head and said, “I’m here with the Chuzzle Battle Zone to participate in a competition.”

“A competition? The annual battle zone competition?” Emily asked, sounding somewhat surprised.

Ethan nodded vigorously, saying, “I’ve always wanted to come to Capital City to see you, but I was afraid it would cause you trouble.”

“You silly, you should be worried about yourself,” Emily said with a laugh.

Ethan took a deep breath and said, “As long as I can be with you, I’m not afraid of anything.”

“Ahem, well, if there’s nothing to do with me, I’ll go ahead and leave first,” Edward Green murmured.

Unfortunately, both Ethan and Emily were immersed in their own world, ignoring Edward completely.

Edward, feeling snubbed, simply turned around and left.

At this point, Emily suddenly asked, “Do you want to visit the Taylor family?”

Ethan was taken aback and asked, “May I?”

“Of course, as long as you’re not afraid,” Emily chuckled.

Ethan took a deep breath and said, “Of course I’m not afraid; that day will come sooner or later.”

As for the situation in the Taylor family, Ethan knew a thing or two about it.

The entire family appeared to be unshakable, but in reality, it was internally fractured; it was held together solely by Old Master Mike Taylor’s forceful control.

Ever since Ethan heard the news, he had been extremely curious about the Taylor family.

Not for any other reason, but simply for his concern for Emily’s safety.

“Then follow me,” Emily said, pulling Ethan’s hand.

“Okay!” Ethan nodded vigorously and adjusted his state of mind. He followed Emily into the Taylor family’s estate.

The expression of the two bodyguards guarding the entrance was somewhat unnatural, and the look they gave Ethan was even vaguely hostile.

To them, Emily was an untouchable existence.

But now, there was an apparently naive stranger, brazenly holding Emily’s hand, and it was difficult for them to accept.

“Get in the car,” Emily said, walking in front of the car.

Ethan opened the car door and got in.

The car slowly drove towards the Taylor family’s villa.

“You seem to have grown a lot,” Emily observed, looking at Ethan.

Ethan replied seriously, “If I don’t grow, how could I be worthy to marry you?”

This one sentence made Emily blush slightly.

“Actually…” Emily opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, she shook her head and smiled, “It’s nothing.”

The two drove around the vast estate.

At this moment, an old man with a walking stick stood on the top floor of the villa, silently watching everything unfold.

This old man was none other than the true master of the Taylor family, Duane Taylor.

“Master, this man is Ethan Smith,” said the chief steward, bowing.

“Mm,” Duane Taylor replied indifferently.

The chief steward tentatively asked, “Shall we make him leave?”

Duane shook his head and said, “There’s no need.”

The chief steward remained silent for a moment, then said, “Master, you once said that Ethan Smith might become your last trump card. Isn’t it inappropriate to expose him now…”

Duane Taylor stroked his beard and sighed, “Indeed, but not everything can be under one’s control. Sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course.” The conversation between the two seemed somewhat cryptic.

As the head of the Taylor family, Duane Taylor naturally possessed an extremely sharp mind and extraordinary foresight.

He had anticipated the future fragmentation of the Taylor family and even his granddaughter Emily’s precarious situation after his death.

Thus, Duane Taylor considered Ethan as his last safety net.

Not for any other reason but because Ethan was the son of that man, and this alone was worth gambling on in Duane Taylor’s eyes..
