"I..." Jessica glanced slyly at Perry's dubious look from afar, her voice faltering. "Of course, I truly love Perry! I didn't marry him for the money!"

"If that's the case, signing a contract to give up any inheritance isn't such a big deal." Sophie said, "I'll have my lawyer draft a contract later. But don't worry, I can't let you end up with nothing."

Sophie smiled slightly, "Your brother can work at Russell Enterprises, too. He just won't have inheritance rights. If my uncle passes away, you and Isaac won't get any inheritance but will receive a substantial pension each month, securing your future."

Jessica was immediately infuriated. "What is a few thousand dollars going to do? Sophie, you just want to hog all the wealth!"

"Hog all the wealth? You think you have the right to say that?" Sophie scoffed, "The Russell family was built from my father's sweat and blood. I am the sole heir. Do you think I'm unaware of your little schemes over the years? I'm advising you to behave yourself. I'm only giving you a chance because my uncle likes you. Otherwise..."

Jessica felt a threatening gaze upon her. Turning to look, she indeed caught Colby's eyes following Sophie's direction.

With Colby around, could she really hope for pleasant days in prison?

"Mom! Why should I lose my inheritance? The Russell family should be mine!" Isaac glared venomously at Sophie. "Sophie, you won't take what's mine!"

Jessica quickly pushed Isaac away. "Shut up!"

Colby was right here. If she didn't agree now, she'd definitely end up in the police station under his watch. She had no intention of ending up in jail!

"Fine! I agree!"

"Mom!" Isaac couldn't believe Jessica would disregard his future like this.

Sophie stood up and smiled. "Jessica, quite the smart choice. My lawyer will send the contract over soon. If you think of reneging, then I'll have to resort to legal measures."

"I won't renege. I'll do whatever you say as long as I don't end up at the police station!" Jessica's hands shook in fear.

Her relationship with Perry had already become so strained, and if Colby sent her to the police station, Perry would certainly not intervene, leaving her to imagine the dreadful days in jail.

At this moment, Isaac's expression turned particularly ugly. The inheritance he thought was within easy reach was now completely out of his hands!

Isaac shot Sophie a venomous look, his fists clenched in anger.

"Now that the matters of the Russell family are settled, I'll take this man with me," Colby said, glancing at Sam beside him.

Sam was trembling all over.

Jessica couldn't even save herself, let alone protect her brother. She immediately said, "Take him! Definitely take him!" "Jessica! Save me, Perry! I don't want to go to jail! I don't want to go to jail!"
