The moment Perry saw the bodyguards, he knew he was outmatched.

The ashtray in Perry's hand fell to the ground as he said, "Sophie, are you really not going to help me?"

"Uncle Perry, one must bear the consequences of their own actions." Sophie looked at Perry, her eyes devoid of the last vestige of familial affection. "Sophie! I'm your uncle! If I go to prison, you'll have no family left!

"How could my brother have sired such a heartless and ungrateful daughter! Isaac should have gotten rid of you when he had the chance!"

Perry's curses echoed relentlessly from behind.

Sophie was numb to the bone-chilling words. She didn't know how to feel anymore.

Outside, Jenna and Tricia hurried over. Upon seeing them, Sophie managed a weak smile. "What brings you here?"

Tricia responded, "We came as soon as we got the news."

"What news?" asked Sophie.

Jenna said, "Mr. Gordon got in touch with us to pick you up."

"Gordon?" Sophie hadn't expected Gordon to go to such lengths to help her. It seemed she owed Gordon a big thank you when the opportunity arose.

Jenna added, "I had a hunch that old man was up to no good, so I had Tricia investigate in secret. Sure enough, we found something fishy. The night you were taken in, our finance department caught fire. Luckily, we were on it, or the evidence might have been destroyed! We were planning to go to the police this morning, but Mr. Gordon beat us to it."

"Looks like he really plans to have me locked up for life," Sophie chuckled lightly.

Until yesterday, Perry was the only family she had in this world, but after today, she was utterly alone.

That afternoon, the internet exploded with news of Perry's betrayal and slander against his own niece, turning it into a grand family feud. Public opinion shifted dramatically, and people began to sympathize with Sophie for having such a despicable uncle.

Sitting alone in the vast emptiness of the Russell family home, Sophie couldn't replace it in herself to feel happy about the news.

Outside, someone was frantically pounding on the door. When the maid went to open it, she was pushed aside by Jessica and Isaac.

Theyo barged in, with Jessica rushing up to Sophie and yelling, "Sophie! Have you got no heart? Perry has always been so good to you, and this is how you repay him. You let him take the fall for you!" "My dad must have been blind to always favor you! Sophie, how could you do this?"

Although Isaac still looked furious, having learned his lesson from Colby, he didn't dare to lay a hand on Sophie and only shouted at her.

Sophie's expression remained calm as she coldly asked, "Where is security?"

The security rushed in, quickly bowing and apologizing, "Miss! I'm sorry for not keeping a closer eye. Mrs. Russell insisted on coming in."
