He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 341: Don't Hurt My Friend

Her murderous tone wasn't just empty threats. She sounded like she truly wanted Sherry dead.

Anne reached into her pocket, as if grabbing something to point at Sherry.

Yelena's face paled in terror. "Don't hurt my friend!"

But Hector held Anne back.

In that split second, everything felt off.

Sherry realized the truth wasn't as simple as Yelena had made it sound.

"Anne, I'm fine. You saw how she hit me—Sherry's good in a fight. You'd only get hurt."

Anne immediately buried herself in his arms. "I was so scared! But I'd risk my life to protect you!"

It was as if the vicious woman from a moment ago had never existed.

But Sherry wasn't fooled this time.

"Cut the act. What you're hiding in your hand back there could kill someone. I thought you were just a shallow bimbo... Turns out you're ruthless."

Yelena froze. Tears rolled silently down her face.

Sherry had her back and didn't see.

Juan, clueless but loyal, stepped in front of Yelena on the other side.

They formed a wall between Yelena and the chaos.

If Sherry saw through Anne instantly, Hector must have too.

Yet he said, "Everything she does, she does for me.

"Don't look at her with judgment. You two had it easy. If you'd lived her life, you would've broken long ago. At least you grew up safe."

Juan snapped at him, "That's a sick argument. Is pain a competition? Only the person who hurts the most gets to cry?"

"Did you ever have to be sold by your parents at six? You're right—weak people don't survive. But if you already given up on yourself, stop blaming others. People with far worse lives keep fighting. That alone makes you less than them."

Hector's words felt pointed, like he was talking about more than just Anne.

But Sherry only stared at Anne in his arms. "You remind me of someone. The guy who thought his girl was perfect... then shipped her off to Zalari.

"First he got rid of the first love's sister. Now he's obsessed with the older sister. Want to guess what the older sister is really like?

"Truly pitiful? Or just good at acting? Do you men really not know? Or do you just love playing hero? Does it make you feel big to 'save' girls like this?

"A girl who breaks up a marriage isn't a good person. But you treat her like a treasure."

Hector's eyes darkened. "Anne is different."

"Sure. You men only care about profit. I guess Anne's useful to you."

Sherry grabbed Yelena and left.

Juan shot Hector a disgusted look. "Selfish bastard."

She put an arm around Yelena. "Guys like him only care about looks and power. Don't gild it with all that 'she's had it rough' crap. Excuses."

"It is just an excuse," Yelena whispered bitterly. "Because he does love her."

"Come on. Look at him—he only cares about himself."

"He never compromises for anyone. If he likes you, he'll defend you till you believe you're the best, the most loved.

"He'll even indulge the flaws you think are unforgivable, even if he knows the whole truth."

So Hector knew exactly what Anne was. He just didn't care—because he wanted her.

"But when he stops loving you..." Yelena's voice cracked. "He crushes you. Makes you feel worthless. I've always known that. But I..."

Sherry knew that pain all too well.

It cut straight to the heart.

She squeezed Yelena's shoulder. "What you're going through? I lived it. It hurts, but I got out. So will you.

"You're still the fearless Yelena I know."

Juan nodded. "Exactly! Sherry's already moving on to someone better. Good guys are everywhere. Guys like him are trash.

"And did you hear him? He wants a smart, powerful wife for show... and a side chick on the side. Disgusting. Even if he pulls it off, no one will ever truly care about him.

"What goes around comes around. They can have their fun now, but wait till they're old. Guys like that better hope they never end up weak and helpless..."

Juan thought exactly what Sherry did.

Rich people might not care about love. But they would all answer for it someday.
