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?"

"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!"

Hearing it from Perry himself was still quite shocking to Sophie. For years, Perry was like a second father to her. But she never imagined this father figure to harm her, let alone kill her parents!
