He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 388: The Mysterious Man

That familiar feeling washed over her again.

Yelena shook her head, trying to clear it.

She couldn't keep comparing the two men. This wasn't the time.

She had no reason to doubt what Lucas had said. A man in his position would be strange not to feel possessive.

Without possessiveness, it wasn't real love.

His words made perfect sense.

He was just overwhelmed by possessiveness.

Yeah, that was it.

Yelena forced an awkward smile.

"I should go check on Sherry. You can get back to your work if you're busy."

Just then, Max hurried over.

He straightened his clothes and smoothed his hair when he saw Yelena.

"Hello, Ms. Quinn."

He looked so cheesy it was painful.

Tony rolled his eyes at him.

"Look at yourself. Even I can't stand you."

Max froze, utterly crushed.

"I'm really that bad...? No!"

He was on the verge of tears.

"If I can't even impress someone like you, how am I supposed to win anyone over?"

Tony exploded.

"I'm gorgeous! You're the one with bad eyesight! Thanks to you hanging around, I haven't had a single date!"

They were seconds away from a full-on fight.

But as soon as Lucas turned and left, they instantly calmed down.

They acted like nothing had happened and jumped straight back to work.

It was almost miraculous.

So... Lucas really was serious about Sherry?

She couldn't wait to tell her.

Yelena exaggerated every detail for Sherry.

"It's over. Lucas is definitely in love. You should've seen how his whole aura changed..."

He must have been like that after he left. Everyone acted differently when they were in love.

Lucas was already scary. Now he was terrifying in a whole new way.

"You mentioned someone in Keiperian who's really famous?" Sherry asked.

"Yeah, but he has nothing to do with us. He's based in Keiperian now. We won't cross paths."

Sherry saw the layers in her expression.

"Is he extremely powerful? How does he compare to Lucas?"

Yelena hadn't really thought about it before.

"I think that man is scarier. I've never heard of Lucas hurting anyone.

"And his resources are on another level. The Harrisons are powerful, but they keep a low profile. They don't feel like they're in the same league."

Sherry lowered her voice. "Julia must know about him too, right?"

Yelena knew more about these circles than Sherry did.

Despite everything that had happened over the years, back when she and Hector were still on good terms, they'd attended all kinds of events together, so she knew more about high-society gossip than Sherry.

"Let's be real—if I know about him, she definitely does. I've known about Julia from the start."

She just hadn't connected the dots—that the woman Hector was obsessed with was Julia.

"She definitely knows. The day I saw that mysterious man, there's an 80% chance Julia saw him too."

Everyone had been furious that day. They were all big names, but they'd been barred from the luxurious pavilion across the way.

The people inside could see everything they were doing.

But they were stuck down below.

But when they heard who was inside, they all fell silent.

If it was him, they could accept why they were kept below.

That sight had burned itself into everyone's memory.

People had spread rumors—that he was old, or badly scarred, too ashamed to show his face.

But what they'd seen was nothing like that.

His bathrobe was slightly open.

Firm chest. Distinct, bony fingers. A sharp, defined jawline.

The perfect look of a gorgeous man.

"Julia only goes after the best," Sherry said. "Do you really think she'd give up on a man like him?"

Yelena had just said the mysterious man was even more powerful than Lucas.

Love or not, Julia would always aim higher. That was probably why she hadn't gone for Lucas right away.
