Chapter 1233: 1229 Qualifications to Be a Dog

1229 Qualifications to Be a Dog

There wasn’t a single trace of fear on Edmund’s face. Instead, he smiled mockingly. “What’s wrong? Mr. Hamilton, are you embarrassed, so you want to take it out on me?”

If he was facing Brett alone, Edmund might restrain himself.

But Lucas was now sitting here. What was Edmund afraid of?

Joel and Anthony were astonished by Edmund’s hostile tone, and they were afraid that Brett would be angered and vent his anger on them.

Before Brett said anything, Joel lashed out at Edmund, “Edmund Cole, you old fogey, you’ve got a foul mouth! I can tolerate you insulting me, but you actually have the audacity to speak like that to Mr. Hamilton. You really don’t know what’s good for you!”

Anthony quickly chimed in and hollered at Edmund furiously, “Yes! Edmund Cole, we chose not to hold it against you because of your age, but this doesn’t mean we’re afraid of you! You actually spoke to Mr. Hamilton so rudely. Even if he forgives you, I won’t forgive you!

“If you’re tired of living, you can find a place to bury yourself. Don’t be such an eyesore!”

While scolding him, they also took the chance to draw a line between him and themselves.

In order to avoid Brett thinking that they were in the same group as Edmund, Joel and Anthony hurriedly explained to him, “Mr. Hamilton, before you came, we’ve already fallen out with this old fogey! Both of us insisted on accepting the Hamiltons’ proposal, but Edmund Cole and Bruce Hale, these two old fogeys, weren’t willing and even said that they would go to war with the Hamiltons! Before you came, we already planned to sever ties with them.

“Now, this ignorant old fogey actually has the guts to offend you. Mr. Hamilton, as long as you say the word, we’ll be at your beck and call and help you get rid of them!”

At this juncture, Joel and Anthony had already given up on the plan to negotiate. Just by looking at Brett’s aura, they could tell that the Hamiltons would never be willing to merely establish a few footholds.

At the end of the day, what the Hamiltons wanted was to control these states completely.

In that case, they might as well follow Brett’s wishes and pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons as soon as possible, especially in front of Edmund and Bruce, who were stubborn tough nuts to crack. Perhaps Brett would even value them for it.

Brett glanced at Joel and Anthony from the corner of his eye and asked with doubt and contempt, “You think you can destroy the Hales and the Coles alone?”

Joel gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, the Gillens and the Crosses have already realized that the Hales and the Coles are not to be trifled with and that they might oppose you. That’s why we’ve arranged for enough people to lay an ambush outside. With one order from you, we will immediately gather all our people to take down the Hales!

“Afterward, the Gillens and the Crosses will join forces to deal with the Coles! This will be a small welcome gift from us!”

Joel and Anthony sounded extremely deferential.

After hearing this, Edmund and Bruce were furious.

These two uninvited guests indeed harbored evil intentions. At the beginning, they had kept claiming that they came here to help the Hales, the Coles, and the other families of California pull through the ordeal. They had even thought of making the Californian families owe them a huge favor through this matter. But after Edmund exposed them on the spot earlier, they stopped mentioning it.

But now, Joel and Anthony actually revealed that they had secretly ambushed many people outside and that they wanted to wipe out the Hales as proof of their allegiance to the Hamiltons. This made Bruce and Edmund furious and contemptuous at the same time.

Brett said with raised brows, “In that case, you’re willing to be the Hamiltons’ dogs and get rid of all obstacles for us?”

It wasn’t nice being called dogs, especially since Brett sounded derisive and contemptuous when he said it. It was enough to make anyone with any self-respect feel ashamed and humiliated.

If others called them dogs, they would definitely lose their temper.

But the person who said this word was an esteemed scion of the Hamiltons, so they naturally didn’t dare to say a word of rebuttal despite blushing with embarrassment.

Joel gritted his teeth, completely swallowed his pride, and flattered shamelessly, “Yes! As long as you’re willing to accept us, the Gillens are willing to be your dogs and be at your beck and call, Mr. Hamilton!”

Anthony hurriedly said, “The same goes for the Crosses! As long as you issue an order, we will definitely do our best to fulfill it! We will do anything you say!”

The two of them were extremely subservient, utterly devoid of the mannerisms and dignity of helmsmen of wealthy and powerful families.

Seeing their disgraceful behavior, Edmund and Bruce were full of disdain.

On the other hand, Ethan was wavering while looking at the two distinct camps.

Although he had already agreed to stand with Edmund and Bruce just now, he began to waver again after seeing Brett’s formidable aura and the way Joel and Anthony, who were domineering earlier, behaved in front of Brett.

Based on the current situation, the Hamiltons were clearly far stronger than them. Otherwise, Joel and Anthony wouldn’t behave this way and choose to be Brett’s dogs.

He wondered if the Sawyers could really survive if he chose to stand against the Hamiltons.

While Ethan was stuck in a dilemma and wondering if he should re-evaluate the situation and change his stand, Brett suddenly sneered.

“Hah, there are many people who want to be my dog, let alone so-called rich and powerful families like yours. Even in DC, there are countless people who flatter me. What makes you think I’d accept you?

“You have to consider if you have the qualifications to be my dogs!”

Hearing this, Joel and Anthony had a drastic change of expression.
