He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 380: The Devil in the Shadows

Every part of her felt warm.

"Then I want them sent to the nearest hospital. And I want every ugly photo of Julia."

"At your service."

"The Harrison family really is powerful."

No wonder Victor had so many children and fought to protect the Harrison family at all costs.

Even if it meant losing his mind.

Lucas smiled faintly, his expression unreadable.

If Sherry asked, he would tell her everything—anything she wanted to know.

But until his plan was done, he didn't want to drag her into danger.

So he said nothing.

Julia needed antibiotics for her tooth, and a new implant would take time.

Seeing her own ruined face, plus being thrown out like trash—she was shaking with rage.

"Calm down. I just found out that hospital belongs to them. I had no idea their influence reached this far."

No one could fight someone on their own turf.

"That hospital is his?!"

It was the most famous private hospital for celebrities—top privacy, the best doctors.

No one had ever known who owned it. Turns out it was Lucas.

"People say the Harrisons control King City. I think they control the whole country."

They weren't in Seaseat City or King City. They were in Sencia City.

It was once the richest, most powerful city in the nation—still glamorous, just quieter now.

That's why she'd known from the start that hospital was no ordinary place—she just remembered now that it was one famous in the circle.

Gilbert was annoyed, but he told himself Julia meant no harm.

In her eyes, he was still the best.

She was just too innocent to care about his feelings. No reason to be jealous.

"I don't agree. From what I've researched, the Harrisons are lucky to even rise in Seaseat City.

"I heard they're being held back by someone powerful. That hospital was probably just a partner."

He refused to believe it belonged to Lucas.

Still, he gave them some respect.

"Don't worry. He and I are on the same level. He just struck first. Beat me by a step.

"With my power, I'll expand across the country. I won't let him beat me."

Gilbert was overflowing with confidence.

But Julia wasn't convinced. The way the staff had bowed and obeyed—that wasn't how partners acted.

Sencia City locals were famously arrogant.

Those men had clear local accents—and they'd treated Lucas like royalty.

Partners? Impossible.

But the more she thought about it, the madder she got.

Her idiot husband had died without revealing a single thing about Lucas' true background.

She'd known for years that there was someone terrifyingly powerful. She'd hunted for him in Keiperian for a long time.

They called him Satan. A devil. A monster.

Everyone feared him.

He killed like it was nothing. People whispered he had the face of a god—dangerous, mesmerizing, deadly.

He could hook your heart in an instant, then cut you down without blinking.

The more dangerous he was, the more magnetic he felt. Many would pay a fortune just to see him.

Even her late husband had backed down in front of him.

She'd once been at a wild, exclusive party.

The second word came that he was arriving, the entire room went dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Some idiot had tried to pull him into the fun, laughing and saying, "All men like this. It's how we bond.

"He's no different. Maybe he's just too ugly to show his face.

"And he doesn't like that kind of scene? Please. Every rich guy loves that stuff—unless he's too old to keep up.

"I'll break this mystery man down for you!"

The guy had been arrogant, ruthless, desperate to put the mysterious stranger in his place.

He'd wanted to drag the devil off his throne.
