Chapter 1235: 1231 You Reap What You Sow

1231 You Reap What You Sow

What Ethan said was like a bomb suddenly exploding in the reception hall.

Bruce and Edmund looked at Ethan in disbelief. “Ethan Sawyer, what… what did you say?!”

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Ethan.

To be honest, Lucas was surprised by what Ethan said too.

He had always known that Ethan was a mercenary person who greatly valued benefits and wasn’t very principled.

He had interacted with Lucas on several occasions before, but it was all for the sake of the Huttons and the benefits he could get from helping Lucas.

But Lucas didn’t expect Ethan to defect to the Hamiltons.

Not only was he betraying the Coles and the Hales, his allies from California, but he was also betraying Lucas and the Huttons, who had always supported him.

It seemed that in Ethan’s eyes, the Hamiltons were much stronger than the Huttons. So he would rather betray the Huttons and pledge allegiance to Brett.

Lucas sneered and thought that Ethan better not regret his decision.

Brett looked at Ethan with interest. “Mr. Sawyer, I didn’t expect you to be different from those two. If I’ve guessed correctly, you’re the helmsman of a wealthy family in California. In that case, won’t your current decision be thwarting your initial agreement?”

Ethan’s eyes flashed with guilt, and he didn’t dare to look at Bruce’s and Edmund’s expressions. He gritted his teeth and said to Brett, “Mr. Hamilton, they all say that wise people adapt to circumstances. I may have had some immature thoughts before, but after seeing your majesty, I think submitting to the Hamiltons is the most correct choice. Everything else doesn’t matter.”

What he meant was that even if he had previously thought of fighting against the Hamiltons with Edmund, Bruce, and the others, he had changed his mind now and planned to submit to the Hamiltons.

Ethan was the first to succumb to the Hamiltons in California, so he believed that Brett would definitely appreciate him and value him greatly.

But Brett glanced at Ethan and shook his head. “Hah, how is someone like you who can easily betray your allies worthy of pledging allegiance to the Hamiltons? We’re not garbage collectors who take in all kinds of garbage!

“You’re worse than those two from the Gillens and the Crosses. You’re not worthy of pledging allegiance to the Hamiltons!”

Ethan immediately felt a stinging pain in his face. It was as if he had suddenly received two slaps in his face that made him so dizzy he almost fell to the floor.

He never thought that after going all out to betray the other families and the Huttons and defecting to the Hamiltons, he would only end up hearing this!

He was called garbage who wasn’t worthy of pledging allegiance to the Hamiltons because he had betrayed his allies. These words were like violent slaps that made Ethan’s face red with embarrassment.

On the other hand, Lucas became more interested in Brett after hearing what he said.

After witnessing Brett’s earlier behavior, he had thought he was just an arrogant and willful scion who relied on the backing of his powerful family to behave like a tyrant and throw his weight around.

Lucas had met many such people. Generally, they didn’t have any decent skills and only enjoyed the flattery of people around them. The more humble and lowly these people behaved, the more conceited they felt.

But Brett actually turned down Ethan, who had betrayed his allies, and the spineless Joel and Anthony, who had begged like dogs in front of him.

On the contrary, he was impressed by Bruce and Edmund, who had refused to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons, and was extremely tolerant toward them.

His behavior made Lucas think that Brett was different from other wealthy scions.

Bruce looked at Ethan, who was pulling a long face, and sneered. “Ethan Sawyer, you betrayed us and wanted to suck up to a powerful family, but your plan failed. You must regret it now, don’t you? Unfortunately, there’s no cure for regret in this world!

“Since you’ve already done this, the Sawyers can forget about staying established in California!”

Edmund said coldly, “Traitors and fence sitters will always end up being defeated because they try to act too smart! Since you’ve betrayed us, all consequences shall be borne by you and the Sawyers in the future! To put it bluntly, if it was on the battlefield, traitors like you should be shot dead on the spot!”

Ethan’s face became even paler, and his legs went limp as he really fell to the floor.

He didn’t expect Brett to react that way. One mistake cost him everything!

Now, Brett despised him for betraying his allies and didn’t want to take him in.

Meanwhile, Edmund and Bruce were furious about his betrayal and would naturally sever ties with him in the future.

What would happen to the Sawyers in the future?

Ethan began to panic.

He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing!

Ethan suddenly looked at Lucas, who had been sitting in the corner without saying much. Seemingly finding a straw to clutch at, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Lucas and begged, “Mr. Gray, I… I’ve indeed made a mistake in a moment of folly. Please forgive me! Please give me a chance and don’t give up on me and the Sawyers!”

He knew that he had brought the Sawyers to the most terrible situation and that the only person who could change the Sayers’ fate was Lucas.

Ethan knew that Lucas had an extremely high status in the hearts of Edmund and Bruce.

As long as Lucas forgave him and gave some instructions to Bruce and Hale, he might still have a chance to turn the situation around despite his mistake.

Edmund and Bruce frowned without saying anything. They just quietly waited for Lucas’s decision.

Only Lucas had the right to decide whether or not to forgive Ethan.

Brett looked at Lucas with surprise.

In fact, not long after he entered the hall, he had already noticed the young man sitting quietly in the corner.

Moreover, Lucas was extremely calm, which was completely different from the five helmsmen. Due to this, he had attracted Brett’s attention and made him take a few extra glances at Lucas.

But Brett didn’t know what Lucas’s identity was. It was only when Bruce asked Lucas for his opinion that he realized Lucas seemed to have extraordinary influence and wasn’t just a random small fry.

And now, when he saw Ethan kneeling in front of Lucas and begging for forgiveness, Brett was even more certain that this young man, who was a few years younger than him, definitely had great authority in California.

He just didn’t know what Lucas’s identity was.
