Chapter 74 - 73. When It Rains, It Pours
"Who are you working with?" Sarah asked once more when no answer came from the man forced to kneel in front of her.
Ethan pressed his lips tightly. Indeed, Sarah had changed into something formidable. Still, Ethan thought it was too late. The heir was already appointed, and she was a woman anyway. Ethan had no idea why Sarah was acting like a trash outside, but he didn’t think it mattered anyway. If he thought she could reach a higher position than that person, he wouldn’t have betrayed her.
"You don’t want to open your mouth? How laughable," Sarah leaned back, tapping the man’s cheek with the tip of her boot. "It was so easy for you to betray me, and yet you stand by that person’s side so firmly?"
Ethan gritted his teeth. Even while he was restrained with no chance to run, he still couldn’t stand being humiliated that much. He had tried hard for the past five years, yearning for the life that people like Sarah could get easily by being born...
He refused to bend down, to give up on those privileges he had gained by clawing his way up, even if he had to drag others down.
And Sarah could see it clearly in the man’s eyes; the greed and twisted ambition poisoning his mind.
Ah...it was hopeless.
"Hmm...you think that person is more powerful than me," Sarah concluded. "Could it be..." she tilted her head, "...you were waiting for that person to save you?"
Ethan narrowed his eyes; he knew Sarah--at least the old Seul-ah--would be smart enough to deduce that far. But why couldn’t she see further? Of course, that person would be more powerful than her.
Why else would Ethan switch sides?
And with her current situation...wouldn’t she have an even weaker position than before? Why did she act like she actually had power within the group?
