Mrs. and Mr. Smith

17 Chapter 17: Please Welcome Ethan Smith!_1

The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely conspicuous and abrupt in this quiet environment.

Even Emily Taylor took a cold glance in this direction.

"Who is this woman? Has she gone mad? Daring to scold Miss Taylor?"

"She must be tired of living! What kind of status does Miss Taylor have? Can she just be scolded by this person?"

"I know this person, it seems to be from the Johnson family, at most a second-rate clan."

"Ignorance leads to fearlessness indeed."

Everyone hummed in agreement, their faces filled with coldness.

Gary Brown's face turned ashen, wishing he could slap Sylvia Johnson, this fool, to death!

"What the hell are you talking about!" Gary Brown hurriedly scolded in a panic.

At this moment, Gary Brown felt like dying!

He had already offended Emily Taylor, and now with Sylvia Johnson's foul mouth, wasn't this pushing him to a dead end?

"She... She's talking about me. I went out to fool around last night and she caught me. I'm sorry, I let everyone misunderstand..." In this critical moment, Gary Brown came up with a smart response and hurriedly explained.

"Take good care of your woman, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself," someone sneered.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault..." Gary Brown wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while smiling apologetically.

Everyone was anxious, but Sylvia Johnson didn't care.

Especially when she saw that Emily Taylor had no reaction, her courage suddenly grew even bigger.

"Tsk, what's the big deal? It's just like that," Sylvia Johnson snorted.

Gary Brown glared furiously at Sylvia Johnson and shouted, "Shut the hell up! If you dare to say anything more, get the hell out of here now!"

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Gary Brown would definitely have taken a swing at Sylvia Johnson!

Feeling wronged, Sylvia Johnson said, "I got it, I won't say anything, okay?"

Gary Brown took a deep breath and prayed continuously in his heart.

From time to time, he glanced at Emily Taylor, and only when he was sure that Emily Taylor wasn't bothered, did he feel relieved. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

"Luckily, I'm quick-witted," Gary Brown thought to himself.

He even imagined that Emily Taylor came to River City to invest, and the investment naturally aimed to make money. She would definitely choose an outstanding young man.

Perhaps his quick response earlier might impress Emily Taylor!

With this thought, Gary Brown's heart filled with hope.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

At this moment, the host on the stage spoke up.

The entire scene became instantly silent.

Emily Taylor stood on the stage like a proud white swan.

Wherever her gaze fell, it sent a shiver down one's spine.

In her eyes, there was a mix of three parts pride, three parts coldness, and four parts icy chill.

Everyone was waiting for Emily Taylor to speak.

"This time, I came to River City as a representative of the Taylor family's investment and also as a representative of myself," Emily Taylor finally spoke.

"I've been in River City for a while and have met quite a few people."

"Among them, there are some who surprise me."

"And there happen to be others who disgust me."

As she said this, Emily Taylor's gaze just happened to fall on Sylvia Johnson!

Sylvia Johnson's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but curse Emily Taylor in her heart.

"It's over!" Gary Brown naturally noticed Emily Taylor's gaze, and he stared at Sylvia Johnson with regret!

Emily Taylor scanned the crowd and continued, "Next, I want to introduce a young man to you all, the most outstanding person I've seen in River City."

Upon hearing these words, Gary Brown unconsciously relaxed.

The most outstanding person? It couldn't possibly be Ethan Smith.

Becasue according to Gary Brown, Ethan Smith had nothing to do with excellence!

Several names quickly passed through Gary Brown's mind.

Among the younger generation in River City, only a few could be called outstanding.

And Gary Brown knew almost all of them.

After mulling it over, Gary Brown had someone in mind: if not himself, it had to be Derek Peterson.

If it weren't for Sylvia Johnson, this bitch, it would have been him for sure!" Gary Brown gritted his teeth.

"But it's fine this way; as long as I maintain a good relationship with Derek Peterson, the Brown family still has hope," Gary Brown thought to himself.

The scene fell silent, countless hearts clenched nervously.

They all wanted to know who the Taylor family saw potential in!

After all, being favored by the Taylor family could propel someone to great heights!

"Next, please welcome with warm applause...." Emily Taylor purposefully left a suspenseful pause.

Showlights lit up on the scene!

The spotlights swept across the audience as if they were choosing someone!

At last, the light fell on Gary Brown!

For a moment, everyone's gaze was on Gary Brown!

"That's great! That's fantastic!" Gary Brown was extremely excited, with hot tears filling his eyes.

"Look, my guess was right. A smart businesswoman like Miss Taylor would never mix personal feelings and interests," Gary Brown shouted excitedly in his heart.

"Honey, look, Ethan Smith is just a waste, and the Taylor family wouldn't pick him," Sylvia Johnson said smugly.

Gary Brown also felt that his worries were somewhat foolish.

How could the Taylor family choose a waste who couldn't even watch over his own wife?

"Please welcome Ethan Smith, Mr. Smith!"

However, just at that moment, Emily Taylor's words suddenly changed, and she called out Ethan Smith's name!

As the words fell, the scene erupted in thunderous applause!

Then, they saw Ethan Smith walk out amidst the brilliant lights!
