Chapter 144
Perry slapped Isaac across the face, startling Jessica. “Perry! How could you hit your son over a stranger?”
“Shut up! He’s your son too, and look what he’s become. He could have killed someone.” Perry trembled with rage. “Thank goodness Sophie wasn’t seriously hurt, or I’d have to take his life.”
Jessica, feeling guilty, could only protect Isaac, sobbing softly.
Colby watched the drama unfold with a cold gaze.
Realizing there was an outsider present, Perry addressed Colby, “Colby, I understand what you mean, but this is a family matter. Could you possibly…”
Colby stood up, having never intended to target Sophie’s family. He had only come to ensure that Perry had the resources to find out who was responsible.
“Mr. Perry, as this is a Russell family matter, I leave it in your hands.” Colby spoke indifferently, “However, if you handle this improperly. don’t mind if I step in.”

Perry’s face paled. Colby’s words hinted at a need for harsh punishment.
“I understand. I won’t be biased; Perry nodded repeatedly
Colby gestured, and his bodyguards dispersed.
“Let’s go,” Colby said lazily.
“Yes!”
Soon after, everyone withdrew from the Russell household.
Isaac, defiant, stood up and shouted towards the now empty doorway, “Who are they to dictate what happens? Dad, how can you just believe them?”
“Shut up!” Perry slapped Isaac again, leaving him in shock.
Jessica became anxious, “Perry! They’ve left. Why are you still hitting him?”
“Be quiet!” Perry shouted. “Colby personally came here. It is already a huge favor to us that he didn’t throw you in jail.
Isaac turned deathly pale..
Perry continued, “From today, you’re staying home and behaving. I’m cutting off all your cards, and tonight I’m taking you to apologize to Sophie.”
