Chapter 183: Unable to Come Down from the Stage
"She didn't provoke me, she just said I was a disowned dog expelled from the Wilson family!" Ethan Wilson chuckled lightly, seemingly not taking this matter to heart at all.
"Nonsense!" Clarence's face immediately darkened. He considered Ethan Wilson as his quasi son-in-law, even if the possibility of Ethan Wilson and Sarah having a future together was uncertain. Insulting Ethan Wilson was like slapping him in the face!
"This girl is really becoming more and more outrageous! Don't let it bother you. I agree to your request!" Carlos had no doubt about Ethan Wilson's words because he knew his precious granddaughter was capable of saying such things!
"Thank you, Grandfather, for understanding. I won't disturb you today to avoid causing trouble. Tomorrow, Sarah and I will definitely be there on time!" Ethan Wilson nodded in satisfaction. Carlos could indulge his granddaughter, but if he couldn't agree to this request, then it would be better to end the cooperation with the Harris family.
"I was planning on letting you stay at the Harris family for one night. Since that's the case, I won't insist!" Carlos sighed helplessly.
In the courtyard, Sarah sat quietly on a stone bench, looking towards Carlos's study, waiting for her man to come out.
On the side, Samantha Roberts and a group of people discussed Ethan Wilson in a sarcastic tone, their words filled with disdain for him, bluntly stating that Sarah was blind.
Sarah, however, ignored them as if they were invisible, giving Samantha Roberts and the others the feeling of punching a cotton ball.
"Sara, I heard that after the Wilson family expelled that worthless Ethan Wilson, he fled to the Harris family in Novaria. Aren't you causing trouble for our Harris family by doing this? What will the Wilson family do to us if they find out?" Samantha Roberts was very dissatisfied with Sarah's indifferent attitude and took the initiative to ask since Sarah was unwilling to speak.
"Please get your facts straight. The first time Ethan Wilson came to our house was to treat my grandfather's illness. It was Ethan Wilson who saved my grandfather's life. Where did you hear that Ethan Wilson fled to our house?" Sarah turned her head and stared at Samantha Roberts, her eyebrows furrowed as she asked.
"He's just a somewhat skilled doctor, nothing impressive. At most, we can pay him for his medical fees and be done with it. By bringing Ethan Wilson to the Harris family, you are inviting disaster upon us, the Harris family. Do you still deny it? If the Wilson family blames us, the Harris family, for this, are you going to take responsibility?" Samantha Roberts stubbornly interjected.
"You keep mentioning the Wilson family. Which side are you on? Do you still consider yourself part of the Harris family? Or do you think we, the Harris family, should be afraid of the Wilson family? If Grandfather hears this, I bet he would be furious!" Sarah sneered dismissively. In her eyes, Samantha Roberts was no different from an idiot at this moment. Not only was she demeaning Ethan Wilson, but she also dragged the Harris family into it as well.
"I've heard it!" Just at that moment, Carlos' voice suddenly rang out.
He stood expressionless at the study door, staring at Samantha Roberts with a grim face.
"Grandfather!"
Samantha Roberts did not expect Carlos to suddenly appear, and her face immediately changed.
"I see that you have become too comfortable these years, even your bones have turned weak!"
Carlos scolded firmly and angrily.
"Grandfather, that's not what I meant! I just think it's unnecessary to cause a fuss over Ethan Wilson..."
Samantha Roberts panicked and quickly started to explain.
"Shut up! Is it not embarrassing enough for you?"
Carlos angrily shouted, then turned to all the younger members of the Harris family present. "I know what you all are thinking. Apparently, my words from yesterday went in one ear and out the other, huh?"
"Grandfather, please don't be angry, I know I was wrong!"
Seeing Carlos truly getting angry, Samantha Roberts immediately backed down, lowering her head and speaking softly.
"If you know you're wrong, then accept the punishment. Starting today, all of you will reflect in your rooms for three days, and you are not allowed to leave without my command."
Carlos coldly sneered.
"What? But we have the engagement banquet tomorrow!"
Samantha Roberts panicked at his words.
"What engagement banquet? Did I say I would take you all to an engagement banquet? Stay at home. If anyone dares to run around, they will be kicked out of the Harris family!"
Carlos glared at Samantha Roberts. Today, he was truly angered by this girl!
He had always been well aware of the tensions between Samantha Roberts and the sisters Sarah, which was also the reason why Sarah rarely returned to Houston. Therefore, to minimize unnecessary trouble, he specifically instructed Samantha Roberts and the others to be more restrained after meeting Sarah today. However, his words had been ignored!
"But..."
Samantha Roberts was dumbfounded. She had just made a bet with Ethan Wilson. If they couldn't go to the engagement banquet tomorrow, wouldn't she lose?
If she lost, she would have to apologize to Sarah in public!
No, it was absolutely impossible!
She was the true heiress of the Harris family. Why should she apologize to Sarah?
"Miss Chu, you won't forget what you promised before, right? Hurry up and apologize to Sarah. I can pretend that nothing happened today!"
Samantha Roberts, who had been watching the commotion, spoke up with a smile on his face.
"You wish! Even if I can't go, can you go? I didn't win, but you didn't win either! Why should I apologize?"
Upon hearing this, Samantha Roberts jumped up in anger, pointing at Ethan Wilson to retort.
"Grandfather, didn't we agree to go and book the engagement banquet tomorrow morning?"
At this point, Ethan Wilson turned to Carlos and asked.
"Xiaoying, apologize to Sarah!"
Carlos didn't answer, but instead ordered Samantha Roberts with a displeased look, with an unquestionable tone.
Originally, the words Ethan Wilson said in the study had already made Carlos embarrassed. He didn't expect to see evidence confirming it after coming out. Where could he hide his face?
"Grandfather... Are you really going to take him to book the engagement banquet? Grandfather, you're biased!"
Samantha Roberts couldn't believe it as she stared at Carlos. She never expected this result. When her spoiled temperament emerged, she immediately burst into tears and ran out with blocked breath.
"I'll go check on her!"
Seeing the situation, Otis Patterson dared not stay any longer. He awkwardly smiled at Carlos and quickly followed.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Carlos looked at Ethan Wilson expressionlessly and questioned.
"Not really. I don't want to target anyone from the Harris family, but I won't allow anyone to bully Sarah. If she only targets me, then I won't bother to deal with her. Grandfather, don't forget that although Sarah is not your biological granddaughter, she carries the Chu surname!"
Ethan Wilson calmly reminded him.
Carlos was instantly speechless, feeling a burning sensation on his face.
He was not only Samantha Roberts' grandfather, but also the head of the Harris family. In order to gain the respect of others, he had to handle things fairly. Ethan Wilson's retort left him feeling ashamed and humiliated!
"The younger generation has spoken and embarrassed the grandfather! I apologize for any offense caused today. I will take my leave. Sarah and I will be there on time tomorrow!"
After Ethan Wilson finished speaking, he bowed to Carlos and knew that staying here any longer would only make things worse. With great decisiveness, he turned and left.
"Grandfather, grandfather, you two can talk. Samantha Roberts and I won't come back today."
Sarah also greeted the two elders and quickly caught up with Ethan Wilson.
