Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 360: 360: Framing

Naturally, Mike Taylor could see that, and he subconsciously glanced at Reilly Blair not far away.

At this moment, Reilly Blair was staring at Mike Taylor, waiting for his answer.

As their eyes met, Reilly’s complexion changed slightly.

Mike Taylor’s pupils burst with an intimidating aura.

This made Reilly’s forehead break out in a cold sweat!

He hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look Mike Taylor in the eye.

Almost everyone was interested in this question.

For a moment, countless gazes fell on Mike Taylor, waiting for his answer.

Even Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

Mike Taylor looked at the camera and said indifferently, “I’ll take this opportunity to introduce him to everyone.”

Having said that, Mike Taylor looked at Ethan Smith, and the camera also turned to him.

“Ethan Smith is indeed one of the prospective son-in-laws I’ve chosen for the Taylor Family.” Mike Taylor said faintly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished!

They couldn’t help but gasp in surprise!

Mike Taylor… actually admitted it?

Was this Ethan Smith really a son-in-law of the Taylor family?

Dexter Blair’s face turned extremely ugly!

Although he tried desperately to suppress the anger in his heart, anger still showed on his face!

“As for Dexter Blair, he’s also a promising young man that I think highly of.” Mike Taylor changed the subject and said with a smile.

His ambiguous answer left people somewhat puzzled.

“Mr. Taylor, how would you choose between these two?” The host pursued relentlessly.

Mike Taylor took a sip of water and said indifferently, “I am an open-minded person. I will listen to my granddaughter.”

Damn it!

Hearing Mike Taylor’s words, almost everyone in the Blair family’s complexions changed dramatically!

Who didn’t know that Emily Taylor liked Ethan Smith?

Wasn’t Mike Taylor’s statement indirectly choosing Ethan Smith?

Ethan Smith, who was standing by, let out a sigh of relief.

Gratitude appeared on his face.

“Miss Taylor, you…”

“You’ve asked enough questions.” The reporter wanted to continue, but Mike Taylor interrupted him.

The reporter was a bit embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly, “Then I won’t bother you any longer. I wish you a happy birthday once again.”

After leaving these words, the reporter left in a hurry.

Reilly Blair took a deep breath.

He never expected Mike Taylor to disrespect the Blair family in public!

“This old bastard…” Reilly clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a strong murderous intent.

But soon, Reilly released his grip.

He knew in his heart that no one dared to harbor murderous intentions towards Mike Taylor.

The Miller family in Capital City back in the day was a prime example.

At this moment, Kylan Taylor came over from a distance.

Seeing Kylan, Reilly felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.

He hurriedly pulled Kylan aside and said, “Mr. Yan, it seems that Mike Taylor really values this Ethan Smith.”

Kylan didn’t take it too seriously. He sneered, “So what? Didn’t my father leave an opportunity for your son?”

“Is this considered an opportunity?” Reilly couldn’t help but ask.

Kylan snorted, “If my father hadn’t left an opportunity for you, the Blair family’s fate would be no different from the Miller family back then.”

Hearing this, Reilly shuddered involuntarily, his back growing cold.

With thunderous applause erupting in the manor, the birthday banquet officially began.

People raised their glasses repeatedly and toasted each other, with some occasionally approaching to offer their well-wishes.

The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

But Ethan Smith’s face didn’t look too good.

From time to time, he glanced at Mike Taylor, his eyes full of worry.

Because…the deathly aura in Mike Taylor’s brow had expanded a bit more.

His lifeline had been completely obscured by the black energy, a clear indication of the end of life approaching.

Ethan Smith noticed the change in Mike Taylor’s expression.

Although Mike Taylor appeared calm, he was actually forcing himself to keep it together.

“Cough, cough.” At this point, Mike Taylor suddenly coughed.

His complexion faded instantly.

Ethan hurriedly placed his hand on Mike Taylor’s shoulder, injecting qi into his body.

Feeling the warmth, Mike Taylor patted Ethan’s hand, signaling that he was fine.

The banquet continued until three in the afternoon, when it finally drew to a close.

The guests at the scene began to leave one after another.

It seemed that Mike Taylor couldn’t hold out any longer. He looked at Kylan and Emily and said, “You two go and help me see off the guests. I will go and rest first.”

“Mr. Taylor, let me accompany you.” Ethan volunteered.

Mike Taylor took a look at Ethan and nodded, “That’s fine.”

So, Ethan gently supported Mike Taylor with a soft force.

Then, the two of them walked straight into the villa.

As they entered the villa, Mike Taylor waved his hand, signaling Ethan to close the door.

As soon as the door closed, Mike Taylor could no longer hold on.

He fell to the ground with a “thud,” and his face instantly became haggard.

“Mr. Taylor!” Ethan’s face changed as he quickly helped Mike Taylor and anxiously asked, “Are you alright?”

Mike Taylor weakly waved his hand and said with great effort, “I… I’m afraid I won’t make it… Ethan, you must take care of Emily after I’m gone. She’s the one I worry about the most… ”

Ethan clenched his teeth, extended his palm, and covered Mike Taylor’s forehead, trying to forcibly extend his life.

Unfortunately, Ethan’s medical skills failed him at this moment, and no matter how hard he tried, there was no effect.

As he watched Mike Taylor’s life force grow weaker, Ethan feared that Mike Taylor wouldn’t live more than three days at this rate.

Ethan helped Mike Taylor onto the bed and sat by the side, anxiously searching through the heritage for a life-extending solution.

Just then, the door of the room opened.

Kylan Taylor and others marched in.

Seeing Mike Taylor lying in bed, Kylan’s eyes narrowed, and he shouted, “Ethan, what did you do to my father!”

Ethan was startled and quickly explained, “No, Mike Taylor’s health is failing, and I’m trying to save him… ”

“Nonsense!” Kylan scoffed.

“My father was fine just a moment ago. How could he suddenly become so weak?”

“I think you’re trying to harm my father! You despicable and shameless man!”

Upon hearing this, Ethan realized what was going on.

Kylan was deliberately trying to frame him.

“Grandpa!” Upon seeing this scene, Emily rushed to Mike Taylor’s side.

“Grandpa, what… what happened to you?” Emily’s voice was full of anxiety and fear, and she seemed at a loss for what to do.

Kylan said coldly, “Emily, is this the man you like? Someone with malicious intentions?!”
