Isaac had been released from prison a few days ago, and now, as he stared at Sophie, he attempted to


    hide the resentment in his eyes. Unfortunately, his acting skills were subpar, making it easy to see right


    through him..


    “Come in. Jessica has missed you! She’s prepared a feast today. Come on!” Perry ushered Sophie


    toward the dining table in the living


    room.


    Sophie nced around the empty living room and asked, “Where is everyone else? Didn’t theye?”


    “They’ll be here soon! Sophie, you’ve been managing Russell Entertainment splendidly. Where did you


    find Reece? He’s brought a lot of benefits to thepany, and thanks to him, our other projects have


    profited immensely!”


    Perry couldn’t stop smiling, but Isaac just scoffed, “It’s just luck. All the credit goes to Reece. What


    does it have to do with her?”


    “You little brat, shut your mouth!” Perry red fiercely at Isaac.


    Isaac immediately fell silent.


    Sophie had thought that Isaac might have changed after his time in prison, but he seemed just as he


    had always been.


    “Sophie, I’ve decided to hand over several of our otherpanies to you as well. It be good practice


    for you”


    Jessica, who had retumed from the kitchen with dishes, overheard Perry’s words.


    Jessica’s face changed slightly. “Honey, what are you talking about? How can we hand over the family


    business to an outsider…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, she realized her mistake. Compared to Sophie, they were the


    outsiders!


    After all, it was Sophie’s father who had expanded those businesses


    Sophie raised an eyebrow and remarked, “Jessica, it’s been a while, but you seem just the same as


    ever.”


    “L.” Knowing she was in the wrong, Jessica ced the dishes on the table without another word.


    Sophie had expected Jessica to make a scene, but instead, Jessica restrained herself and put on a


    smile. “It’s my fault in the past, and I need to apologize to you, Sophie. Today is a family dinner, and we


    should all enjoy it”


    Sophie frowned. Today’s Jessica seemed different from before.


    As the evening progressed, the Russell family members gradually arrived, but this time, members of


    the Fisher family were also present.

    ie, Sam, Jessica beckoned Sam over.


    histe thirties approached, his sleazy appearance obvious at first nce.


    Sophie remembered him. He was Jessica’s younger brother, a few years her junior and nominally the


    CEO of the Fisher Group. However, everyone knew Jessica’s notorious reputation in the industry.


    Hardly anyone wanted to coborate with her, and if not for the Russell family’s support, herpany


    would likely have gone bankrupt years ago.


    “Come and greet our dear Sophie. Jessica enthusiastically pulled Sam over.


    Upon seeing Sophie, Sam was visibly struck, his eyes lighting up as he eagerly extended his hand.


    “Miss, I’m Sam, the CEO of the Fisher Group.”


    Sophie merely nced at his outstretched hand and did not shake it. Her response was cold. “Jessica,


    what is this about? Today is a Russell family gathering, and you’ve brought members of the Fisher


    family here.”


    Sophie did not mince words, making Jessica’s face fall.


    Sam interjected “My sister married into your family, so naturally, the Fisher and Russell families are


    connected. Miss, you needn’t treat me as an outsider. After all, sooner orter…”


    Before he could finish, Jessica quickly interjected, “Oh, it’s my fault. Sam wanted toe and see


    everyone today, and I thought, being family, it would be fine to bring him. Let’s go have dinner”


    While speaking, Jessica pulled on Sophie’s arm.


    Sophie’s instincts told her something was amiss.


    At that moment, a maid carrying red wine collided with Sophie. She tried to dodge, but Jessica was


    pulling on her arm, causing the red wine to spill all over her outfit
