Chapter 180: An Unjust Calamity.
The Harris family’s old house was located on a street within the inner loop of Houston. It was a three-section quadrangle, as if this kind of old courtyard was always favored by their large family, instead of luxury villas.
You see, quadrangles are now a symbol of status in Houston. Moreover, the Harris family's old house was said to be the former mansion of a Baylor.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the quadrangle, the simple red-painted door was opened from the inside.
"Greetings, Second Master, welcome back to the mansion!"
The servants of the Harris family bowed and called out to Clarence, who had just stepped out of the car.
In Ethan Wilson's eyes, this scene seemed a bit amusing. It seemed that these people only had eyes for Clarence, ignoring him completely, and even ignoring Sarah, the Miss of the Harris family.
"Very well! Let's go in first!"
Clarence nodded expressionlessly and took the lead to walk into the courtyard.
"You might encounter some annoying people later, so try to bear with them and don't stoop to their level."
Sarah held Ethan Wilson's arm and reminded him in a low voice as they followed behind Clarence.
Ethan Wilson immediately understood the meaning of Sarah's words. It seemed that Sarah, as a branch member of the family, wasn't very welcome among the Harris family's main branch.
"Grandfather is back? It's been a long time. I didn't expect Sarah's cousin to come back with him today!"
Shortly after entering the house, they bumped into a group of people. The woman in front looked quite attractive, but her eyes seemed to emanate a seductive aura that made Ethan Wilson uncomfortable.
The woman first greeted Clarence and then her gaze fell on Sarah and Ethan Wilson, constantly sizing them up.
"She's Samantha Roberts, probably the person I dislike here the most! She has always liked to compare herself to me since childhood, and I'm almost sick of her! Keep an eye on her; she will definitely flaunt her superiority as the Miss of the Harris family in front of me again!"
Sarah whispered to Ethan Wilson, her tone filled with helplessness.
"Xiaoying, where is your grandfather?"
Clarence furrowed his brows and asked calmly.
"Grandfather is in the study. He wants to speak with you alone after you come back, Second Master!"
Samantha Roberts treated Clarence respectfully and immediately responded,
"You guys continue chatting, I'll go in first!"
Upon hearing this, Clarence glanced at Ethan Wilson and then walked into the inner courtyard alone.
"I'll show you around first."
Sarah intended to avoid Samantha Roberts and planned on leaving while pulling Ethan Wilson.
"Don't rush to leave! Sarah, you haven't introduced me yet. This can't be your boyfriend, can it?"
But Samantha Roberts immediately stopped Sarah and looked at her with a smile, asking in a sarcastic tone.
"What does it have to do with you? Don't make it seem like we are good friends!"
Sarah wrinkled her brow and glared at Samantha Roberts, snorting lightly.
"How dare you talk to your sister like that? At the very least, I am your cousin. Do you really think this place is Novaria?"
Samantha Roberts didn't expect Sarah to challenge her and felt that her reputation was at stake. She immediately reprimanded her with a stern face.
"I really have to thank you for reminding me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known that I had another cousin!"
However, Sarah dismissed it with a curl of her lip.
"Hmph, I know it even without you telling me. This must be Ethan Wilson, the abandoned child of the Wilson family, right? Grandfather mentioned it before. You actually got involved with an abandoned child of the Wilson family. It's truly embarrassing for our Harris family. Today, you even had the audacity to bring him to the Harris family! I really have no idea what Second Grandfather is thinking."
Samantha Roberts was so angry that her face turned pale. She immediately pointed at Ethan Wilson mockingly.
Ethan Wilson couldn't help but feel speechless. He thought to himself, is this woman a dog? Why does she always want to bite people? Did I offend her?
"Samantha Roberts, you better watch your mouth! Ethan Wilson is my boyfriend, and whether he's good or not doesn't need your judgment. What qualifications do you have to criticize and meddle in front of me? Others might suck up to you, but Sarah, of all people, won't fall for your tricks!"
Sarah knew very well that Samantha Roberts was trying to find ways to undermine her and demonstrate her superiority.
To a certain extent, Ethan Wilson was implicated and wrongly accused because of her.
And the other children of the Harris family stood by, watching the drama with a smirk on their faces. Clearly, no one thought Sarah could gain any advantage over Samantha Roberts. They were all waiting to see her embarrass herself!
"Sarah, huh? It's wrong of you to say that about your sister. Xiaoying is genuinely concerned about you! You say you couldn't find a better man, yet you chose this kind of family outcast. Isn't that embarrassing for the Harris family?"
To Sarah's surprise, there was another young man who looked ridiculous in his attire and spoke up, expressing his disappointment for her.
"And who are you? This is the Harris family. When did an outsider get the opportunity to speak?"
Sarah clearly didn't recognize this man and furrowed her brows as she questioned him.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Otis Patterson is not an outsider. He is my fiancé, and he happens to be the heir to the Jianglin Group. You know about the Jianglin Group, right? One of the top 500 companies in the country!"
Samantha Roberts immediately flaunted her superiority, believing that her boyfriend could easily outshine Ethan Wilson.
Not to mention the current Ethan Wilson, even when he was at the Cloud Group, just the Cloud Group alone was not enough to compete with the formidable Jianglin Group!
"It's really a surprise. A woman like you actually found someone who wants you? Truly birds of a feather, both of you have the same foul mouth. No wonder you ended up together!"
Sarah suddenly showed a look of realization and coldly chuckled with indifference.
"Who do you think has a foul mouth? Aren't I just stating the truth? This Ethan Wilson might still get by on his past reputation in Novaria, but in Houston, he's nothing! And not to mention that he's just a family abandoned outcast! Look at how I criticize him, and he doesn't even react. You can clearly see he's a pathetic loser. For you to be interested in a man like him, it's obvious you're a perfect match!"
Unexpectedly, after Otis Patterson listened to Sarah's words, he immediately became furious and angrily pointed at Ethan Wilson.
"If a dog barks at me, am I supposed to bark back? I can't imitate you, I can't bark!"
Ethan Wilson didn't expect that instead of retaliating, the other party escalated the situation. It was truly unbearable!
"What did you say? Are you actually calling me a dog?"
Otis Patterson was almost enraged by Ethan Wilson's words, "Do you believe that I can make it impossible for you to leave the city of Houston?"
"I really don't believe it. If you have the ability, go ahead and try! In the past, there were many self-righteous people who liked to teach me lessons on life, but the fact is that they ended up in a worse situation, unable to even make a living and had to live like dogs. It's a shame that you like barking like a dog so much, it's a waste if you don't become one! Oh... if I'm not mistaken, you should be planning to marry into the Harris family, right?" Ethan Wilson, on the other hand, sneered dismissively and asked, suddenly remembering something and curiously inquiring.
It's obvious even without thinking too much that the Jianglin Group, which is like a fart, is nothing compared to the Four Great Families. Unless these two are truly in love, Ethan Wilson can bet with his toe that one of them is marrying into the family!
Looking at the characters of Otis Patterson and Samantha Roberts, is it possible that these two are truly in love?
