Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 137

As Isaac's words hung in the air, Sophie's hand flew out, striking him across the face. Instantly, one side of Isaac's face turned red.

Isaac was stunned for a few seconds and glared at Sophie incredulously. "You hit me?!"

"I told you, if you said another word, I'm going to teach you a lesson." Sophie's gaze was icy as she stared at him.

Isaac's temper flared. "Sophie! You son of a—"

Before he could finish, Sophie slapped him again, this time with full force. Isaac's face instantly swelled up.

"Watch your mouth! I used to let things slide forUncle Perry's sake. I gave you some respect and ignored you. But don't think I am easy to bully. You better watch out and not bother me again!" Sophie's eyes grew colder. Before she had married James, she lived in the Russell household. Isaac had been younger and often tripped her up. Clearly, Jessica egged him on.

He would ruin Sophie's notebooks or steal her belongings. She had let all these small things slide, but now, she felt no need to indulge him any longer.

Isaac trembled with anger and was about to use his greater size to his advantage. Suddenly, Sophie raised her voice to the floor below, "Are you all just loafing around? Take him away!" Hearing the commotion, several maids quickly came upstairs and stood by Isaac, urging him to leave. If this reached Mr. Russell's ears, Isaac would truly be in deep trouble.

Pointing at Sophie, Isaac said spitefully, "You just wait. I'll get you for this!"

Sophie scoffed coldly, "Go back and tell your mother to stop harboring those crooked thoughts! As long as I am alive, it's none of her business!"

Fearing the situation might escalate, Isaac had no choice but to swallow his anger.

In the middle of the night, James called her. There was silence on the line for a while before he asked in a deep voice, "What time are you coming back?" Sophie replied indifferently, "I'm staying at Uncle Perry's tonight. I'm not coming back."

"I'm coming to get you now."

Sophie frowned, silent for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you tomorrow."

"Now." James' tone was insistent.

Sophie glanced at the clock. It was already midnight.

James waited on the phone for Sophie's response. The Burke estate was deserted tonight, and he felt anxious as if he was about to lose something, which unsettled him. "Alright, then come pick me up." Sophie didn't refuse. Some things didn't change, whether they were said sooner or later.

Outside the room, Isaac eavesdropped on Sophie's conversation. He sneered, then went downstairs to the garage.

In the garage was the car Sophie had driven over. Isaac, holding a pair of scissors, cut the brake lines and had a dark look on his face. "Sophie, go to hell!"

Soon after, James' car arrived at the Russell estate, disturbing Perry and Jessica, who were already sleeping.

Both came out to greet him, Isaac included, though Perry's expression was grim.

"James, even if you and your wife have misunderstandings, you should clear them up promptly. It shouldn't reach a point of no return, right?" Jessica was terrified that Sophie might actually divorce James, and she quickly put in a good word.
