18  Chapter 18: The Oblivious Sylvia Johnson_1

He wore a black suit, with a shy smile on his face, which made him look somewhat handsome!

Ethan Smith had never participated in such an event, and having always lived in the lower echelons of society, he had never been the center of attention like this!

Therefore, facing this situation, he felt incredibly nervous.

But when Ethan met Emily Taylor's gaze, his heart was instantly filled with confidence.

Emily's encouraging look was Ethan's source of confidence and strength!

He walked up to her quickly, and soon was standing in front of Emily Taylor.

A brief silence fell over the crowd.

But soon, the whispers came like waves!

"Ethan Smith? I've never heard of such a person?"

"Who is he? Are there any Smith families in River City?"

"Not just River City, but even in Chuzzle, there seems to be none!"

Gary Brown's face was incredibly pale! With trembling lips, he whispered, "How... How is this possible... How is this possible!"

"Why should this piece of trash!" Sylvia Johnson clenched her fists, her face full of unwillingness!

The very person she used to despise, suddenly became an honored guest of the Taylor family!

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Sylvia!

The spotlight on Gary Brown still hadn't disappeared, and at this moment, he seemed like a pathetic clown.

Obviously, it was Emily's intention to humiliate Gary Brown!

"It's over, it's all over..." Gary Brown's face was full of pain and horror, which appeared exceptionally ridiculous under the spotlight!

As everyone was discussing, an astonishing scene took place!

Emily Taylor walked up to Ethan, stood on her tiptoes, and patted his head.

"Silly boy, you didn't even fix your clothes properly, you're really making people worry." Emily said with a bit of playfulness.

After that, with everyone watching, she personally helped Ethan straighten his clothes.

Her demeanor was completely different from her usual aloof image!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Who on earth was this Ethan Smith? How could he make the proud Taylor family's princess lower herself to help him fix his clothes?

"It's over, it's over..." Gary Brown finally couldn't hold back any longer, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ethan, on stage, was also a bit shy.

"Be more confident. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to look down on you or 11:19

disrespect you." Emily Taylor said softly.

He whispered, "Is this really okay in front of so many people?"

"What's wrong with it?" Emily Taylor rolled her eyes.

"Be more confident. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to look down on you or disrespect you." Emily Taylor said softly.

Her voice was quiet, yet it reached everyone's ears!

Ethan took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay, I understand!"

The venue was silent, but everyone's hearts were stirring with shock and curiosity.

Their doubts about Ethan's identity grew even more.

"Do you want to say something?" At this moment, Emily Taylor whispered in Ethan's ear.

Ethan's expression faltered, seemingly a bit nervous.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk." Seeing this, Emily Taylor smiled and comforted him.

"No." At this moment, Ethan took a deep breath, grabbed the microphone, and said,

"I will never let you down." Ethan's tone was firm and resolute!

Emily Taylor looked at Ethan in surprise, her big eyes filled with a touch of delight!

Ethan held the microphone and looked at the crowd.

Facing these upper-class elites, Ethan tried his best to keep his mentality stable.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "I know you don't know me, and before this, I was just a nobody, even worthless."

"But in no time at all, the name Ethan Smith will be well-known!"

"That's all I have to say."

Ethan handed the microphone back to Emily Taylor.

There was a deathly silence in the venue.

Some people were suspicious, some were sneering, and some chose to believe.

"Well said, I believe in you!" Just at this awkward moment, Emily Taylor suddenly spoke up.

"Right...Yes, well said! We also believe in you!"

"That's right! Mr. Smith will definitely achieve great things!"

The crowd shouted one after another, and thunderous applause rang out.

But Ethan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew very well that these people weren't actually believing in him, they just didn't dare to offend Emily Taylor.

"Hmph, all he knows is boasting." Sylvia couldn't help but sneer.

This time, even the people around Sylvia were somewhat unhappy.

"It seems you have a strong desire to perform. Why not come up and say a few words?" At this moment, Emily Taylor suddenly looked coldly at Sylvia.
