Still, Isaac was right about one thing–if they couldn’t get Sophie Into James‘ bed tonight, it would be the


    end of the road for both of


    them.


    With a heavy heart, Jessica dragged Perry to the couch and then turned to Isaac, saying, “Then let’s do


    it now. Let’s get Sophie to James‘ bed. The Burke family has more rules than ours, and Bea is no


    pushover. As long as Sophie remains Mrs. Burke, the Burke family will never tolerate her control over


    the Russell Corporation. Then we can find a way to take over thepany.”


    “I’ll take Sophie to the hotel. Mom, I’ll leave this side of things to you.”


    “Alright.”


    Isaac nced at Sophie lying on the ground, effortlessly hoisted her onto his shoulder, went down to


    the garage, and tossed her into the back seat of the car.


    Outside the Russell residence, Tricia was still waiting for news from Sophie when she saw a sports car


    zoom past.


    Frowning, Tricia had a bad feeling. She took out her phone and tried calling Sophie, but got no answer.


    “This is bad.”


    Sensing trouble, Tricia immediately called Colby.


    “Hello?”


    “Mr. Colby, something might have happened to Ms. Sophie.”


    As Tricia spoke, she drove after the speeding sports car, but it was moving too fast, and she could only


    vaguely see its tail lights.


    “Send me your location. I’m on my way.”


    Colby was already nning to find Sophie to clear things up, and had been halfway to the Russell’s


    ce. After hanging up, he abruptly hit the brakes and changed direction.


    Meanwhile, Isaac’s car had arrived at the Regent Hotel’s parking garage, Looking at Sophie lying in the


    car, Isaac said with a menacing tone, “Sophie, you forced my hand. It is your fault to take what rightfully


    belonged to me.”


    As he spoke, he carried Sophie on his shoulder, “Couldn’t you just happily be James‘ wife? Why do you


    have to go against James? This is all for the Russell family. You should thank me when you wake up.”


    Struggling, Isaac managed to get Sophie to room 8023.


    The room was empty. Isaac threw Sophie onto the bed.


    Looking around and seeing no one, Isaac smirked, then he began to remove Sophie’s clothes, and


    took several photos with his phone, saving them.


    Afterpleting his task, he dimmed the room’s lights and quietly left.


    In the garage, Isaac quickly got into the sports car. He made sure no one was following him, and


    immediately drove off at high speed. When Sophie groggily woke up, the only thing she could see was


    the dim light of the room, and everything around her seemed to be hotel furnishings. Her mind raced,


    recalling the moment before she passed out when 1saac had hit her from behind.


    “You’re awake.”


    The man’s voice was deep, and Sophie could easily tell it was James‘ voice. Instinctively, she tried to


    sit up, but her arms were suddenly pinned down.


    Before her was James‘ face, expressionless, seemingly back to his usualposed and cool


    demeanor.

    “Was it you and Jessica who conspired to send me here?”


    Sophie waited for James‘ answer.


    Without hesitation, he said, “Yes.”
