Chapter 306
“Sophie! What tone is that! How dare you question my mother.” Isaac pushed back his chair aggressively, ready to confront.
Sophie glanced coldly at the two before her, “I have every right to question her as the head of the Russell family. Even if I were to send her to prison, it’s within my rights.”
The Russell family, with its vast estate and long–standing traditions, held rules that could not be broken. Isaac’s face went pale immediately.
Jessica hurriedly tried to explain, “It’s all a misunderstanding, Sophie, all a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? Jessica, aren’t you planning to deliver me into James‘ bed?”
For a moment, Jessica fell silent.
Indeed, that had been her plan, but Sophie’s unexpected return had thrown all her plans into disarray.
Sophie said icily, “I’ve forgiven you once, twice, and that was my leniency. This time, I will not show mercy.”
Sophie pulled out her phone.
tsaac quickly stepped forward, “What are you doing!”
“Calling the police.” Sophie’s voice was cold. “What you did today amounts to kidnapping. Last time, you tampered with the brakes on my car. I spared you because you were young, but that doesn’t mean I am weak or can be bullied.”
“Isaac, don’t let her call the police! If she does, we’ll be done for.”
Jessica stared at Isaac in panic. Isaac, now an adult and stronger than Sophie, snatched the phone from her upon hearing his mother’s plea.
Meanwhile, Perry had heard the commotion and came down from upstairs.
Perry was somewhat perplexed by the scene in front of him, “What’s going on here? Why all the shouting?”
“Honey, I…”
Jessica didn’t know how to explain when suddenly, Isaac picked up an ashtray from the table and, without a word, smashed it onto the back of Sophie’s head.
Sophie was stunned; likely not expecting Isaac to resort to such violence. As she turned around, she caught sight of Isaac’s face, twisted with malice.
“Isaac! What are you doing?!”
Perry immediately ran downstairs to Sophie and helped her up. Then he turned back to glare at Isaac, “Hurry and call 911!”
Isaac’s eyes were filled with fury as he struck Perry on the forehead, and instantly, blood streamed down Perry’s temple.
Jessica’s face was a picture of disbelief, “Isaac! Do you realize what you’re doing? How could you hit your father?”
“He told me to call 911. That’s practically asking me to die. Mom, you don’t know what it was like for me in jail. You don’t understand! I finally got out, and this old man handed the company to Sophie. I was left with nothing.”
Isaac spoke vehemently, “If we don’t give Sophie to James, do you think the Burke family will let us off? What is Sophie? How could she possibly outmaneuver James? Might as well go all out.”
Isaac’s face was filled with malevolence.
Jessica could never have imagined that the son she raised would commit such acts.
