Chapter 144


    Perry pped Isaac across the face, startling Jessica. “Perry! How could you hit your son over a


    stranger?”


    “Shut up! He’s your son too, and look what he’s be. He could have killed someone.” Perry


    trembled with rage. “Thank goodness Sophie wasn’t seriously hurt, or I’d have to take his life.”


    Jessica, feeling guilty, could only protect Isaac, sobbing softly.


    Colby watched the drama unfold with a cold gaze.


    Realizing there was an outsider present, Perry addressed Colby, “Colby, I understand what you mean,


    but this is a family matter. Could you possibly…”


    Colby stood up, having never intended to target Sophie’s family. He had onlye to ensure that Perry


    had the resources to find out who was responsible.


    “Mr. Perry, as this is a Russell family matter, I leave it in your hands.” Colby spoke indifferently,


    “However, if you handle this improperly. don’t mind if I step in.”


    Perry’s face paled. Colby’s words hinted at a need for harsh punishment.


    “I understand. I won’t be biased; Perry nodded repeatedly


    Colby gestured, and his bodyguards dispersed.


    “Let’s go,” Colby saidzily.


    “Yes!”


    Soon after, everyone withdrew from the Russell household.


    Isaac, defiant, stood up and shouted towards the now empty doorway, “Who are they to dictate what


    happens? Dad, how can you just believe them?”


    “Shut up!” Perry pped Isaac again, leaving him in shock.


    Jessica became anxious, “Perry! They’ve left. Why are you still hitting him?”


    “Be quiet!” Perry shouted. “Colby personally came here. It is already a huge favor to us that he didn’t


    throw you in jail.


    Isaac turned deathly pale..


    Perry continued, “From today, you’re staying home and behaving. I’m cutting off all your cards, and


    tonight I’m taking you to apologize to Sophie.”


    “Why should I apologize to her?!” Isaac exploded. “Dad, Sophie was practically raised by our family.


    Why should I apologize?”


    Perry, infuriated by Isaac’s words, said, “You! You’reing with me to the hospital night now! Let’s


    go.”


    Perry grabbed Isaac by the arm and dragged him outside, Isaac’s struggles futile.


    “Perry! What are you doing? Let go of him!” Jessica tried to intervene but was ruthlessly pushed away


    by Perry.


    Isaac looked to Jessica for help, but Perry angrily ordered, “Security! Hold him, and have the driver


    take us to the hospital now.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    The security guards restrained Isaac, and the driver immediately went to get the car. Soon, Perry was


    dragging Isaac into the hospital. Sophie heard themotion from her room as the voices of Isaac and


    Perry reached her ears. Jenna, hearing the noise, opened the door and saw Perry pulling Isaac inside.


    Sophie told Jenna, “Jenna, could you step out for a bit? I need to talk to my uncle.”


    Jenna nodded, “I’ll wait outside then.”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
