Chapter 137


    As Isaac’s words hung in the air, Sophie’s hand flew out, striking him across the face. Instantly, one


    side of Isaac’s face turned red.


    Isaac was stunned for a few seconds and red at Sophie Incredulously. “You hit me?!”


    “I told you, if you said another word, I’m going to teach you a lesson.” Sophie’s gaze was icy as she


    stared at him.


    Isaac’s temper red. “Sophie! You son of a-”


    Before he could finish, Sophie pped him again, this time with full force, Isaac’s face instantly swelled


    up.


    “Watch your mouth! I used to let things slide forUncle Perry’s sake. I gave you some respect and


    ignored you. But don’t think I am easy to bully. You better watch out and not bother me again!”

    Sophie’s eyes grew colder. Before she had married James, she lived in the Russell household. Isaac


    had been younger and often tripped her up. Clearly, Jessica egged him on.


    He would ruin Sophie’s notebooks or steal her belongings. She had let all these small things slide, but


    now, she felt no need to indulge him any longer.


    Isaac trembled with anger and was about to use his greater size to his advantage. Suddenly, Sophie


    raised her voice to the floor below, “Are you all just loafing around? Take him away!”


    Hearing themotion, several maids quickly came upstairs and stood by Isaac, urging him to leave. If


    this reached Mr. Russell’s ears, Isaac would truly be in deep trouble.


    Pointing at Sophie, Isaac said spitefully, “You just wait. I’ll get you for this!”


    Sophie scoffed coldly. “Go back and tell your mother to stop harboring those crooked thoughts! As long


    as I am alive, it’s none of her business!”


    Fearing the situation might escte, Isaac had no choice but to swallow his anger.


    In the middle of the night, James called her. There was silence on the line for a while before he asked


    in a deep voice, “What time are youing back?”


    Sophie replied indifferently, “I’m staying at Uncle Perry’s tonight. I’m noting back.”


    “I’ming to get you now.”


    Sophie frowned, silent for a moment before saying, “Tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you


    tomorrow.”


    “Now” James’ tone was insistent


    Sophie nced at the clock. It was already midnight.


    James waited on the phone for Sophie’s response. The Burke estate was deserted tonight, and he felt


    anxious as if he was about to lose something, which unsettled him.


    “Alright, thene pick me up.” Sophie didn’t refuse. Some things didn’t change, whether they were


    said sooner orter.


    Outside the room, Isaac eavesdropped on Sophie’s conversation. He sneered, then went downstairs to


    the garage.


    In the garage was the car Sophie had driven over. Isaac, holding a pair of scissors, cut the brake lines


    and had a dark look on his face. “Sophie, go to hell!”


    Soon after, James’ car arrived at the Russell estate, disturbing Perry and Jessica, who were already


    sleeping.


    Both came out to greet him, Isaac included, though Perry’s expression was grim.


    “James, even if you and your wife have misunderstandings, you should clear them up promptly. It


    shouldn’t reach a point of no return, right?” Jessica was terrified that Sophie might actually divorce


    James, and she quickly put in a good word.
