When Jessica couldn’t spot any signs of heartbreak or shock on Sophie’s face, she awkwardly commented from the sidelines, “Well, that figures. Everyone says Colby’s as cold-hearted as they come. And Sophie, you have already been through a marriage. How could he possibly…”
Sophie gave Jessica a chilly glance that sent shivers down her spine.
With a bland tone, Sophie remarked, “If I’m not mistaken, you and Uncle Perry are also on your second marriage, aren’t you? How did you manage to enter the Russell family? Seems you’ve forgotten.”
“I…” Jessica was at a loss for words.
Standing up, Sophie said, “We are both women. We should be nice to each other. Jessica, you should really watch your words.”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. My apologies, I misspoke,” Jessica hurriedly agreed.
Now that Sophie practically ruled the Russell household, Jessica could not provoke her further.
Sophie coldly instructed, “There’s work waiting for me at the office. I’ll be leaving now. The table’s a mess. Please clean it up.”
Sophie lazily adjusted her blouse, then strutted out of the Russell family’s grand entrance in her high heels.
Watching Sophie’s retreating figure, Jessica waited until she was sure Sophie had left before glancing at the cluttered table with disdain. “Sophie! Treating me like a servant now?”
This couldn’t go on. If Sophie truly divorced James, it would mean the Russell family had thoroughly alienated the Burkes.
Jessica had to find a way to prevent Sophie and James from divorcing.
After the merger, Sophie’s appearance in S Corporation was as normal as it could be. To the rest, she was still seen as the Russell family’s lady.
Arriving at her office, Sophie sank into her chair, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Tricia had been waiting for a while, "Ms. Sophie, there’s been movement from the Burke family, but it’s all within our control. Do you want to counter?”
Sophie’s thoughts drifted. Noticing, Tricia asked, “Ms. Sophie?”
