He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 430: You Could Have Made More

Another man nodded in agreement. "Anyone the boss values can't be ordinary."

Gwen stood frozen, her voice cold. "That doesn't mean she's capable. Maybe she's just greedy. We shouldn't expect much from someone from a small place. She's no threat.

"Even the boss can misjudge people sometimes."

The others thought it over and decided she made sense.

They'd almost been fooled by Sherry's act. Then they froze again.

Sherry had just walked away with 500 million dollars.

She'd made that fortune shockingly fast.

She looped her arm through Lucas' and headed for the door. "I just made some money. Let me buy you dinner."

She said it loud enough for the group to hear—a deliberate, cutting remark.

No matter what, Selena was still Lucas' subordinate. Didn't she care about upsetting him?

This was a straight-up slap in a man's face.

"You could have made more," Lucas said casually, his tone clearly aimed at the group behind them. "I'm sure plenty of people would happily give you the chance to earn as much as you want."

He was telling them to pay Sherry off?

Treating them like easy targets?

Had their boss lost his mind?

Lucas' words almost made Sherry stumble. She'd only said it to tease them, not to get dragged into more trouble.

She thought this was supposed to be a vacation.

Instead, she was stuck with this hostile group who seemed determined to pick fights.

But now that she had 500 million, she decided the trip had been worth it.

Those people had heard everything, wasn't he worried they'd turn on him?

She felt their stares burning into her back.

Once the two left, Gwen's already icy expression turned even colder.

Only then did the group finally come to their senses.

"The boss is angry. He hates any connection to the White family most of all. We never should have let Julia get close to them. He's using Sherry to discipline us."

"What else were we supposed to do? We couldn't just let him be with a married woman. We never thought he'd bring her here."

Gwen stared coldly at the men in front of her. "You think those lies will fool him? You know exactly what you gained from the Whites. The boss is starting to clean house. Good luck. Don't try to blame me when it falls apart."

Her words angered them.

"Gwen, what's that supposed to mean?"

"What do you think it means? She's scared we'll get close to the core member of the White family. The women there are far more dangerous than us grassroots folks."

"She's just jealous she can't have the boss. None of us ever cared for Gwen or Selena anyway, let alone Sherry. It's ridiculous how threatened all these women are."

"When we find the boss a woman from the White family, he'll thank us."

"After all, with the White family, marry the older sister and it's like getting the younger sisters too. It's basically getting the whole family. Those women are all top-tier. Being a man in that family is the real dream."

Even a branch of the White family was like a paradise for ambitious men. Any capable man would jump at the chance to join them.

...

Sherry and Lucas ate dinner by the sea.

"What's the deal with the White family? And Julia? And your friends?"

Sherry pressed down on the abalone Lucas liked. "If you don't explain clearly, you can just watch me eat. No food for you."

Lucas set his fork down. "Fine by me. If I eat too much and nobody keeps me company tonight, I'll just feel miserable."

Sherry's hand jerked away from the plate as if it had burned her.

"Hmph. What do you mean nobody will keep you company? You're surrounded by so many beautiful women. Pick any of them."

Selena, Gwen—all of them were even more stunning than Julia.

And from what she'd heard, Julia was just being manipulated by the group. She'd thought Julia was powerful here.

Gilbert used to text her constantly, bragging about how impressive Julia was. The last time she'd heard it was at Lucas' villa.

Right before their flight, she and Lucas had overheard every word of Julia's conversation with Heather.

Watching it unfold in person had been like watching a live show.

She especially remembered Julia telling Heather to find someone named Scarlett.

Julia carried herself with such confident radiance, just like the daughter of a billionaire.
