Chapter 194 "Honey, you have to believe me. I had nothing to do with this!" No matter how Jessica tried to defend herself, Perry was unforgiving this time. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face, sending her sprawling to the ground, her face ghostly pale.
"You hit me?!" Throughout their years of marriage, Perry had always been compliant and gentle with her. They might have had their arguments, but Perry had never laid a hand on her before! Now, because of Sophie, Perry had quarreled with her repeatedly, and he had even resorted to physical violence! "How can I react any differently when you engage in such disgraceful and harmful acts? Jessica, I was so wrong about you! Sophie is part of our family, and you've always been contemptuous towards her. Now you even plotted against her Perry pointed at Isaac standing nearby "Look at what you've taught this fine young boy! Attempted murder! How could I have ever married someone like you?” Jessica knew Perry was truly furious this time. Sophie had always been his Achilles' heel.

This had always been Jessica's trump card. Whenever they faced a major argument, she would threaten divorce, and each time, Perry could not bear to part ways and usually ended up backing down But this time, her words seemed to have lost their power.
As expected, Perry did not soften as Jessica had hoped. Instead, he said, "Fine! Let's get a divorce!" Jessica's face registered shock. Isaac was stunned. "Dad! She's your wife! How can you just agree to a divorce over someone else Jessica burst into tears, wailing, "I bore you a son, and this is how you treat me! Perry! You're so heartless!" Perry's face showed his struggle, but ultimately, he made a painful decision. Turning to Sophie, he said, "Sophie, I owe you an apology It's all my fault that you were almost harmed. I'm leaving these two in your hands. Whether you want to involve the police or handle it privately, I won't interfere.” Though he said this, Sophie knew Perry still had feelings for Jessica. She glanced indifferently at Jessica, who was now throwing a tantrum on the floor. "Since you've handed this over to me, I will handle it." Perry stepped back, letting Sophie take control.
"So Jessica, all this scheming was just to get the Russell family fortune into your hands?" Sophie stepped forward. "If you don't want to go to the police, agree to my condition, and I'll turn a blind eye to this whole affair." "What condition?" Jessica asked warily. She didn't trust that Sophie had good intentions.
Sophie continued, "You've been secretly sabotaging my efforts to take over the company, rallying the NO Russell family's distant relatives against me. Uncle Perry was swayed by you then, wasn't he?" Jessica's face betrayed her guilt.

Sophie stated, "I could overlook that, but if you want to avoid prison, you and your son must renounce your son inheritance rights. Moreover, if anything happens to my uncle, neither of you will receive a cent." "How can that be?!" Jessica blurted out.
Sophie raised an eyebrow. "When you first married into our family, was it for the Russell fortune or because you loved my uncle?"
