Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Duane Taylor VS Kylan Taylor_1

At Clare’s words, Ethan Smith was suddenly taken aback.

It must be said that her suggestion might really be useful, after all, dual cultivation with a pure dark energy body could indeed bring extraordinary effects.

But unfortunately for Ethan, it is simply impossible for him to accept.

He couldn’t accept anyone but Emily Taylor.

“Alright, I have my ways.” Ethan patted Clare’s head.

Clare anxiously said, “I’m doing this not just for you, but also for Emily.”

Ethan mused, “Think about it, if Emily knew about this, how could you face her in the future?”

Clare was suddenly struck dumb and speechless for the moment.

“Don’t worry, it’s just Dexter Blair, right? Tomorrow, I’ll personally break his dog-headed skull.” Ethan smiled with feigned ease.

After throwing down those words, Ethan dragged Clare out of the room.

“Goodbye, everyone.” Before leaving, Ethan glanced at the crowd and bowed slightly.

“Mr. Smith, I’ll go with you.” Edward Green said.

Ethan looked at him, shook his head, and said, “You going would be useless. Just stay.”

“No, I have to go with you no matter what!” Edward said sternly.

After a moment of contemplation, Ethan nodded, “Alright, it’d be nice to have a companion on the road.”

After bidding farewell to everyone, Ethan went to the airport and headed to Capital City!

This was Ethan’s third time in Capital City!

Yet the state of his mind this time was completely different from his previous visits.

As he stood at Capital City Airport, an indescribable mix of nervousness, worry, and excitement swirled in his heart.

But eventually, all these emotions settled into calmness.

“Mr. Smith, where should we go now?” Edward asked as he followed closely behind.

Ethan’s eyes narrowed, and he replied coldly, “To the Taylor family!”

Worried for Emily’s safety, upon arriving in Capital City, Ethan naturally wanted to pay a visit to the Taylor family first!

“To the Taylor family?” Edward seemed somewhat worried.

After all, the Taylor family had always wanted to get rid of Ethan. Going there now, wasn’t that just courting death?

“If you’re afraid, you can find a place to stay first.” Ethan said.

Edward gave a bitter smile, “I only have my humble life. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Then let’s go.”

The two hailed a cab and headed directly for the Taylor family’s Estate!

Meanwhile, at the solemn entrance to the Taylor family’s Estate, an uninvited guest appeared.

He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his demeanor exuded an air of old age.

This man was none other than Duane Taylor, who had swapped his body!

No one would have thought that Duane Taylor would come to the Taylor family’s Estate!

Ever since Mike Taylor’s “death,” everyone inside and outside the Taylor family’s Estate had been replaced.

Even the guards at the entrance now had familiar faces.

Duane stood there, gazing upon the Taylor family’s Estate that he used to be so familiar with, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.

“Huh? That man seems a bit odd.” Before long, someone noticed Mike Taylor.

“I always feel like he looks a bit like the person Mr. Taylor wants to catch.” Another bodyguard whispered.

After exchanging glances, the two suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Mike Taylor, and dragged him into the manor!

Duane frowned slightly, coldly eyeing the two men as he asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“What do we want to do? Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve angered Mr. Taylor. He’s been after you all this time!” The bodyguard said viciously.

“You actually dare to show up at the Taylor family’s Estate?”

Without further ado, the two dragged Mike Taylor to the manor’s living room and called Kylan Taylor!

After a phone call, Kylan rushed over to the Taylor family’s Estate!

“Where is he?” As soon as the door opened, Kylan snapped.

“Mr. Taylor, he’s right here.” The bodyguard hurriedly pointed to Duane by their side.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense as their eyes met.

Kylan stared intently at the Duane before him, his expression becoming somewhat odd.

Although Mike Taylor had changed bodies, his demeanor and gaze were no different from before!

This couldn’t help but send chills down Kylan’s spine and even stirred up a sense of fear within!

Even with Kylan as the Taylor family’s successor, he couldn’t help but feel extremely nervous in front of his father!

“You guys can go now.” Kylan’s brow furrowed and he waved his hand.

After sending the bodyguards away, Kylan sat down directly across from Duane.

The father and son reunion was devoid of cheer or excitement, just tension.

“Kylan, you’ve become quite accomplished.” Duane spoke with coldness.

Kylan’s face changed again. He opened his mouth but found no words.

“So, now that you’ve taken over the Taylor family, you want to get rid of me?” Duane asked icily.

Kylan gritted his teeth, well-aware that there was no turning back. No more words could help at this point.

So, gathering his courage, he looked at Duane.

“Dad, if you’re willing, I can let you enjoy the rest of your life and give you anything you want!” Kylan said through gritted teeth.

“You can continue to live in the Taylor family’s Estate. Whatever you want, I’ll send someone to get it for you! But… you can’t stay outside!”

Hearing this, Duane couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “You want to put me under house arrest? Just like you did with Emily?”

“Dad, this is for everyone’s sake.” Kylan replied coldly.

“Since you’re this old, why not just enjoy life instead of fighting to the death?”

Duane scoffed, “So, I should be grateful for your generosity?”

Kylan fell silent.

He sighed and then slowly spoke, “I knew you wouldn’t agree. Given your temper, you wouldn’t let me off the hook either, would you?”

Duane squinted, “What’s the hurry? I can live for at most three more years. The Taylor family will still be passed down to you after that.”

“Passed down to me? Who knows if you’ll pass it to Emily!” Kylan hissed angrily.

He suddenly stood up and berated, “The Taylor family is mine, and can only be mine! No one else is entitled to it besides me!”

“For the position of the Taylor family’s heir, I can sacrifice everything! I can eliminate anything in my way! Even if it’s you!”

Duane looked at Kylan before him and spoke solemnly, “You’ve already been blinded by the pleasure brought by power.”

Kylan couldn’t be bothered listening to these words. He glared at Duane and said, “Dad, I’ll give you two options. Either stay in the Taylor family’s Estate and enjoy the rest of your life, or…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was quite clear.

“You should be aware that as long as I don’t acknowledge you as Duane Taylor, then you are not.” Kylan lit a cigar.

Duane laughed coldly, “You don’t have what it takes to threaten me. If you really have the heart, just do it.”
