Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

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! Come here, let me check if you’re hurt anywhere.”

Sophie’s smile become more 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?”
