Official Story Answer
Ethan betrays Alice because he chooses status, convenience, and self-interest over loyalty

He wants the easier version of success
Alice gave Ethan loyalty and emotional commitment, but Natalie gives him access to status. That is the trade he chooses. His decision shows that he values what benefits him immediately, even if it means humiliating the person who stood by him.
His betrayal exposes Alice's old life
The relationship collapse forces Alice to see how much she has been shrinking herself for someone who does not truly respect her. Ethan's cruelty becomes the shock that finally breaks her out of that role.
Why this betrayal is important to the whole story
Without Ethan's betrayal, Alice would not be pushed so hard toward reinvention, fashion independence, and the contract marriage that changes everything. He is the trigger for the story's emotional reset.
