He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 336: A Trap Set in Motion

When he heard she had walked all that way, Gilbert only felt more sorry for her.

"Don't worry. I'll get you home. The king crab you wanted last time? It just arrived by air."

Julia lit up at the mention of good food.

Her Facebook was filled with expensive meals every day.

Even in the luxury-obsessed celebrity circle, she thought everyone else was beneath her. They were just jealous.

They might have money and connections, but could they get what she had?

They slept with old, bald, fat executives and begged for favors.

She never had to.

Not when she had Gilbert behind her.

He smirked, eyes flashing with mockery.

But without a car, they had no choice but to order a ride. Shockingly, no one accepted their request.

Gilbert immediately raised the fare by ten times, hoping to tempt someone.

But the price was so high that people were suspicious.

They thought it must be a trap from criminals or someone mentally unstable.

Who would pay that much, especially to a remote area rumored to have fugitives?

No one dared to take the job.

Only cheap vans and old cars were willing. But Julia kept complaining.

She insisted on a luxury car, saying she was too delicate for ordinary vehicles and would get carsick. She even named specific high-end models.

But who would drive a luxury car out here in the middle of the night?

They started walking, hoping a ride would accept while they were on the move.

By dawn, they'd walked the entire night.

All four of them looked sick and exhausted.

When they finally saw a taxi on the side of the road, Julia didn't dare complain anymore.

She got in with no fuss—and didn't get carsick at all. She just passed out cold.

The two bodyguards had been hired to protect them.

Until now, all they'd heard was Gilbert and Julia badmouthing Sherry. They'd assumed Sherry was terrible.

But seeing Julia now—suddenly fine with a normal taxi, sleeping like a log—they saw right through her.

She was just acting.

If she'd been this reasonable earlier, they would've been home hours ago.

But Gilbert saw none of it.

He still blamed everything on Sherry's tantrums.

To make things worse, they'd just gotten home after no sleep at all. They collapsed into bed, desperate to rest. Before they could fall asleep, a furious call exploded from Julia's phone.

"Quit whining like a spoiled brat! You stupid bastard, why did you park your car right here?! Can't you see you're blocking everyone?!

"You think this is some place to show off? I'll tear you apart, you shameless bitch!"

Julia was stunned.

She usually swallowed her pride to keep her image perfect, but this was a complete stranger—some lowlife nobody—daring to yell at her.

"Watch your tone when you speak to me. Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know what happens when you cross me?"

The person on the other end didn't back down, which ticked her off even more.

It was clearly Sherry's fault, yet they dared yell at her!

"Get over here right now. I'll show you exactly who I am!"

Julia was wide awake now. She stormed out in Gilbert's most expensive luxury car.

Few people knew her in King City, but she'd made a big name for herself in Seaseat City lately.

She was sure once the person saw her, they'd turn pale with fear. She had to put them in their place.

She followed the address given over the phone.

But as she got closer, something felt wrong. This was the office building for her own upcoming Splendor Group.

A crowd had gathered downstairs.

Some were even filming live streams with their phones.

Julia already knew what people would say—her own company fighting with her own people.

It would be humiliating.

And then her heart dropped.

The car parked right in front was the same one Sherry had driven off yesterday.

It was Gilbert's car. But to show everyone how much Gilbert loved Julia, to mark her territory, she had put her own phone number on the car.

That was why she'd gotten screamed at.

Sherry did this on purpose.

She'd parked the car right in front of Julia's company building.

Julia had planned to use Sherry as a stepping stone—to act like the poor, bullied victim, then announce her new company in a huge, victorious event.
