Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 351: 351: The Old Undying?_1

“Yes,” Dexter nodded repeatedly.

The two men went downstairs.

Upon facing Kylan Taylor, Reilly’s expression immediately changed.

He went over to shake hands with Kylan, exchanging a greeting.

Dexter hurriedly exclaimed, “Nice to see you again, Uncle Taylor!”

Kylan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Reilly.

“Old Taylor, you already know what happened yesterday, right?” Reilly cut to the chase.

Kylan lit a cigar and snorted, “It was such a big fuss, who wouldn’t know?”

Reilly frowned, “Everyone knows that our Blair family intends to marry into Taylor family. But now, Emily humiliated us in public, saying Ethan is her boyfriend. Isn’t this slapping the Blair family in the face?”

Kylan glanced at Reilly and sneered, “Emily is just a young girl. What can she decide?”

“Old Taylor, I think you are not quite right. As far as I know, Mike Taylor has always regarded her as his treasure. Emily’s status in the Taylor family is not less than yours, right?” Reilly stated bluntly, without any tact.

Kylan’s face instantly turned sour.

He humphed, “My father has always been partial to her, and I don’t know why.”

“In terms of ability, I am above her, and as for seniority, I am his eldest son!”

“Her having such a high say is all because of my father’s backing!”

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, “Alright, Old Taylor, let’s discuss how to solve this matter first.”

“I suggest you come forward for an interview, saying that the Taylor family has never acknowledged Ethan Smith as their son-in-law.”

Kylan glanced at Reilly and said coldly, “What’s the rush? Isn’t my father still sitting over there?”

Reilly’s brow furrowed. It was evident that Kylan still feared Mike Taylor.

“Don’t worry, my father will host a banquet in a few days. By then, I will naturally find an opportunity to clarify,” Kylan gestured.

“Host a banquet? I’ve never heard about this,” Reilly frowned.

“You’ll know soon enough,” Kylan stood and said.

“My father doesn’t have much time left. Once he dies, I’ll kill Ethan Smith immediately,” Kylan glanced at Reilly, giving the Blair family some assurance.

“With that, I am reassured,” 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.

“What’s wrong today?” Mike glanced at Ethan and asked.

Ethan took a deep breath and said, “Mike, can I check your health?”

“Check my health?” Mike seemed puzzled.

Ethan said, “I don’t know how to explain it to you, but I have to tell you.”

“I can see the death qi in the center of your brow, and it is getting more serious.”

Mike chuckled, “And then?”

Ethan was silent for a while, then said, “According to the death qi on your brow, you don’t seem to have died of natural causes.”

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 Mike’s brow was moving upward.

This was definitely not a sign of natural death.

So, Ethan couldn’t help but suspect that Mike had contracted some illness.

Regarding Ethan’s words, Mike seemed unfazed.

He put down the chess piece and said calmly, “There are many reasons for death. Sometimes, even if it’s not the end of one’s life, it’s still fate.”

“My fate says I will die this year, and I will die for sure. Are you trying to go against the heavens?”

Ethan became somewhat agitated, “Cultivation is all about going against the heavens! Mike, as long as your life is not exhausted, I can cure you!”

Mike waved his hand and said, “It’s different. If you forcefully change the course of fate, it will definitely affect yourself.””I’m just an old man, and I’ve lived long enough.”

Ethan Smith didn’t want to hear this. With a hint of pleading, he said, “Mr. Mike Taylor, just let me examine you, alright?”

“If I say no, it means no!” Mike Taylor responded, somewhat annoyed.

“No more talking about this!”

Leaving these words, Mike Taylor walked away with a cold face.

Ethan Smith was extremely puzzled by Mike Taylor’s attitude.

He couldn’t understand why Mike Taylor was so resistant.

“I won’t let you die.” Watching Mike Taylor’s retreating figure, Ethan Smith was determined.

For the next few days, Ethan Smith played chess with Mike Taylor every day.

Ethan Smith didn’t bring up the topic again, but the dead aura between Mike Taylor’s eyebrows grew more severe.

At this rate, Mike Taylor probably wouldn’t live past three days.

His health deteriorated rapidly, and if it weren’t 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, “Hurry, let’s eat, and then let’s go out together.”

Mike Taylor was surprised, “Go out? Where to?”

“Ah, grandfather, you can’t always stay at home. Let’s go on a trip to North Province Island for a change of scenery. It’s good for your health,” Emily Taylor laughed.

Mike Taylor waved his hands repeatedly, “There’s no need. I’m good playing chess at home.”

“No way!” Emily Taylor glared.

“No matter what, I found some free time today, and we’re going!” Emily Taylor insisted confidently.

Left with no choice, Mike Taylor agreed, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.”

After hastily eating, a Mercedes-Benz S450 was parked outside.

“Grandpa, get in the car.” 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 Taylor’s brow furrowed. She tapped the young man on the shoulder and asked, “Don’t you know how to queue?”

The young man turned to look at Emily Taylor and was instantly captivated.

This woman is so beautiful!

The young man couldn’t help but swallow, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

“Did you not hear her say to get in line?” Ethan Smith didn’t like the look in the young man’s eyes and coldly spoke up.

Only then did the young man regain his senses. He glared at Ethan Smith and said, “I never wait in line to buy tickets! Stop talking nonsense!”

Then he shouted at the ticket window, “I’ll take all the tickets you got!”

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith’s face darkened.

“If you buy all the tickets, what about the rest of the people?” Ethan asked, holding back his anger.

The young man sneered, “What’s it got to do with me? I want to buy tickets, and it’s none of your business!”

Ethan Smith coldly stared at the young man, “You better return those tickets right now.”

“Yo, are you trying to scare me? Do you know who I am?” The young man laughed sarcastically.

Just as Ethan Smith was about to speak, Mike Taylor stepped forward and calmly said, “Young man, don’t be too arrogant; you might get into trouble.”

The young man glanced at Mike Taylor, annoyed, “Who are you, some old geezer? What’s it got to do with you? Did I ask for your opinion?”
