Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 504

The Russell family was prestigious and wealthy, with many rules to adhere to. Sophie was well aware of the kind of man her father was. As the head of the family, her father would never pervert the course of justice for personal gain, even for familial bonds, and certainly not for Perry.

Perry was involved in gambling, which on the surface seemed like a personal issue, but it endangered the entire Russell family, and indeed, it did.

The muscles in Perry's cheeks twitched, a clear sign he had nothing more to say. Sophie said, "Perry, I'm asking you one last time. Did you kill my father?"

"Yes! I killed him! He was so inflexible! He wanted to ruthlessly kick me out of the house just because he found out about my gambling!" Veins throbbed on Perry's face, indicating extreme anger.

"You got yourself involved in gambling! What's wrong with my father enforcing family rules and kicking you out? Look at the shame you've brought the Russell family! You killed my father over this!"
