Chapter 293 Watching Sophie's beaming face, Jessica nearly passed out in shock. "Sophie! Have you lost your mind? How does divorcing James at this critical moment benefit the Russell family in any way?" Jessica's voice was so loud it drew Perry's attention from upstairs. Spotting Sophie, he hurried down, his face lighting up with joy. "Sophie, I knew you'd be alright! Chere, letcheck if you're hurt anywhere." Sophie's smile becmore genuine at Perry's arrival. "Uncle Perry." Perry nodded, his eyes brimming with tears. After ensuring Sophie was unharmed, he exploded. “James is a bastard! I entrusted you to him, and look what he does! Gets involved in an affair, knocks the girl up, and the moment you're in danger, he can't wait to bring his mistress into the house!" Sophie calmly tried to pacify him. "Uncle Perry, please, clam down. Look, I'm not even mad.” Jessica, feeling undermined, chimed in weakly, "Men will be men. Having an affair isn't that big of a deal. Besides, Sophie still holds the title of Mrs. Burke. James has been good to her, so there's no need to escalate things to divorce..." Perry was livid. "What are you saying? After all the humiliation Sophie has endured, you think this doesn't warrant a divorce?" "Dear, I'm only thinking of the Russell family's best interest. How does offending the Burke family benefit us?" Jessica's gaze kept darting towards Sophie. "Besides, Sophie's decision to sell Russell Enterprises to S Corporation doesn't consider the Russell family's interests at all, It's like she's driving us to ruin." "Will you shut up!" Perry's patience was wearing thin with Jessica's nonsensical talk.

Sophie addressed Jessica, “So, Jessica, your dissatisfaction stems from the merger with S Corporation?" Sophie remembered how the Russell family nearly went bankrupt in her previous life due to James' schemes. Jessica realized the family wealth was dwindling and promptly left Perry, absconding with all their assets.

This time, Jessica's displeasure over Sophie's divorce seemed rooted in the fear that Russell Enterprises already merged with S Corporation. It would offend James more and leave the Russell family penniless.

Jessica argued. "Sophie, you might not have studied finance like Isaac. He could've managed the Russell family's finances perfectly." Sophie did not missing a beat, and interjected. “Jessica, have you forgotten that I'm a finance graduate from Eastwood College?" "That was just bought with money, wasn't it? How does that count? Isaac earned his place on his own!" Sophie couldn't help but pity her. "Considering the caliber of his college, I'd say your argument is useless. Even an intern at Russell Enterprises holds a higher degree." Jessica was incensed. "Sophie! What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on Isaac?" Sophie calmly responded. "Regardless, the Russell family now has so little stake in managing Russell Enterprises after the merger with S Corporation, I'm hardly in a position to place anyone in the company." Jessica, filled with grievances, complained, "You're aware of this? Had you not whimsically decided to sell the company to S Corporation, we wouldn't be living at the mercy of others." Perry, barely containing his anger, demanded. "Have you said enough?" Jessica fell silent under Perry's scolding.

The housemaid walked in. “Sir, ma'am, a guest has arrived."

"A quest? Who?" Perry looked up to see James and Colventeringcontent is on novelenglish.net! Perry stood up immediately. "Who let him in? Get him out!"

Seeing James, Jessica hurriedly said. "Dear, calm down. Maybe he's not here for you, right?" James' gaze fell on Sophie, who didn't even glance his way.

"I'm here to take Sophie back. James' voice was hoarse.

Sophie set down her mug and replied coolly, "Mr. Burke, have you finalized the divorce papers? If so, just hand them to me. I believe there's no need forto return to the Burkes."
