Although Jessica looked visibly upset after being exposed, she knew that once Perry spoke up, Sophie
would find it hard to refuse
This was a plot ofnd measuring 150,000 square feet. She definitely didn’t want this lucrative
opportunity to end up in Sophie’s hands. Sophie feigned surprise, “Really? I had no idea about that.”
“Sophie, you’ve never dealt with such matters, so naturally, you wouldn’t know about this. Your uncle is
only looking out for you. If thisndes under the Russell family’s control, it could definitely turn a
profit.”
As Jessica spoke, her eyes gleamed with anticipation. Anyone with a bit of sense knew how valuable
thend would be once thendscaping approval came through.
Sophie sighed and said, “Why didn’t you mention this earlier? It’s toote now”
“What do you mean by that?” Jessica tensed up immediately.
Even Perry chimed in, “Sophie, you wouldn’t have…”
“Thend was sold three hours ago
“What?!” Jessica eximed in shock
“Actually, I bought thatnd on a whim during an argument with James. I always felt it was a poor
decision, especially after finding out it was a wastewater area. It’s been a hot potato ever since, and I
wanted to sell it, but no one was interested. Today, Colby came by asking to buy it, and I was
overjoyed. I’m afraid he might change his mind, and I signed the contract immediately. Now, the money
is in my hands, and thend is his.”
Sophie’s tone was full of regret, as if she truly meant it..
Jessica quickly tugged at Perry’s sleeve, “What do we do now?”
Such a prime opportunity was just handed over?
“Can we still get it back?” Perry asked tentatively.
Sophie shook her head, “It’s definitely noting back.”
Seeing this, Jessica stepped forward anxiously, “Maybe, Sophie, you could talk to Colby? Perhaps we
could reconsider?”
Sophie inwardly scoffed, but on the surface, she seriously said. “Thisnd doesn’t matter to me
whether I manage it or not. Jessica, since you are so keen on it, maybe Uncle Perry could talk to
Colby? See if he’s willing to give it up?”
After Sophie spoke, Jessica’s lips twitched, instantly losing her earlier confidence.
Perry also said, “Colby is ruthless. I’m not going to fight with him over a piece ofnd.”
Sophie knew Perry’s nature well. He definitely wouldn’t deal with someone as cutthroat as Colby.
Perry’s words made Jessica feel even more frustrated. She red at him fiercely.
Sophie added, “Jessica, don’t worry. It’s just a piece ofnd. How valuable can it be? Besides, with the
Russell family’s vast enterprise, we have enough tost several lifetimes. Do we really need that piece
ofnd?”
“Exactly, I also thought it was unnecessary.” Perry nodded.
Jessica heard the words and stomped off in anger.
Sophie sipped her tea quietly, acting calm and nonchnt. Jessica thought she could easily gain an
advantage from Sephie? Absolutely not.
Shortly after, Sophie left the Russell family estate, only to see Colby’s car still parked outside.

Sophie knocked on the car door, asking, “What’s going on?”
“Adler said we should celebrate today.”
“I didn’t say that. He wanted to celebrate. Adler brutally exposed the truth,
Sophie pondered for a moment, “A celebration is indeed in order.”
Colby said, “The Four Seasons Hotel has a private room booked, Ms. Sophie, please get in.”
“My pleasure.”
That aftemoon, James was heading to a banquet. As Colt drove past Eastwood College, James
nced at the bustling students and couldn’t help but picture Sophie.
