*1…” At that moment, Jessica was unable to utter a single word.
Perry realized something was wrong and turned to Jessica. “When I asked you earlier, you werestuttering! Now explain to me why you were so desperate to have your brother attend the family dinner.What exactly were you two plotting?!”
“Honey, listen to me. It’s not what you think.” Jessica tried to explain, but Perry shook off her hand,saying, “Are you two planning something against Sophie again? Speak up!”

“Honey, this has nothing to do with me! I really don’t know anything!” Jessica waved her handsfrantically in fear.
Sam, who was on the ground, heard Jessica’s words and quickly spoke up. “Jessica! Please beg yourhusband to save me! I don’t want to be taken away! Help me!”
“Shut your mouth! This is all because of your lust. What does it have to do with me!”
Jessica’s words made it clear to Perry what was happening.
“How could you?!”
Perry was furious, and Jessica quickly said, “Honey! Listen to me. Let me explain!”
At that moment, Sophie and Jenna had also entered the Russell family estate, watching the chaos.Colby’s men were still searching the place.
Jessica spotted Sophie, and it made her even more uneasy.
When Perry saw Sophie, he walked up to her and said to Jessica, “Explain yourself in front of Sophie!Give me an explanation!”
Jessica was scared, and she humedly pointed at Sam kneeling on the ground, saying, “My brother hasbeen divorced twice already, and it’s hard for him to find a wife. So, I thought, since Sophie and Jamesare also getting a divorce, she and Sam could get together. Wouldn’t that be keeping it all in thefamily?”
Jessica was cowering but continued, “Besides, once Sophie is divorced, I fear no one else will want herafter that. She and my brother will be well matched…”
“Ugh!” Jenna angrily exclaimed, “Well matched? I can’t believe you have the nerve to say that! Aren’tyou ashamed?”
Jessica’s face turned bright red, yet she shamelessly defended herself, “I was just thinking aboutSophie’s mariage prospects. This was all consensual, so why did you cause a scene and embarrassour own family?”
“Consensual?” Sophie scoffed, “I didn’t know drugging me and locking me in a room counted asconsensual!”
“What?” Perry was shocked, “Sophie, is this true?”
“Uncle Perry, I would never falsely accuse her. She took my phone and locked me in the room. If Ihadn’t threatened to hurt myself, Jessica and Sam’s scheme would have likely succeeded by now.”
Jessica angrily retorted, “You’re lying! What evidence do you have? You just got caught and now wantsto pin it on us!”novelbin
At that moment, a bodyguard’s voice suddenly rang out nearby, “Sir! Found it!”
The bodyguard handed over Sophie’s phone and a small vial of pills to Colby.
Jessica’s face paled. She had ordered those items to be thrown away! How could they still have beenfound?
Then, the maid who had previously led Sophie upstairs was brought forward, and Jessica’s face lost allits earlier confidence Colby dropped the vial on the ground and coldly said, “You wanted evidence?Here’s your evidence!”
The veins on Perry’s forehead bulged. “Did you really do this?”
“Honey! This was all my brother’s idea. It has nothing to do with me!”
“Jessical How can you deny
hy your own words? You were the one who said Ms. Sophie was beautiful and suggested I go after her!Now you’re trying to throw me under the bus? How could you do this to me?”
In their circle, everyone knew what crossing Colby meant, and Sam was not ready to be the scapegoat!
