No matter how much Sam yelled, it was useless. Colby's men quickly took him away.

Sophie turned to leave when Perry said, "Sophie, I'm putting you in charge of all the decisions at the company from now on. I am getting old, and you need to run it well. No one at the company will dare to challenge you."

Sophie turned back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Despite how Jessica treated her, her uncle had always loved her, and that had never changed.

"Uncle Perry, thank you."

After leaving the Russell family estate, Sophie walked briskly, avoiding any contact with Colby.

"Sophie! Why are you walking so fast?" Jenna quickly caught up with her.

Sophie didn't even lift her head. "It's nothing."

"What's really going on?" Jenna noticed Sophie's face was flushed red. She touched Sophie's forehead and said, "You're not sick, so why is your face so red?" Sophie bit her lip. She really didn't want to think about everything that had happened today.

Colby, who was walking behind Sophie, had a slight smirk on his lips.

Adler honked the horn twice, snapping Colby out of his reverie. "What are you dazing out here for after all that commotion inside?"

Adler was waiting in the car, and he was getting impatient. Finally, everyone had come out, but they all seemed a bit odd.

Colby's voice was tinged with a smile as he said, "Let's go."

Colby get into Adler's car and leave, and Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.

Jenna was even more puzzled. Frowning, she remarked, "Colby really doesn't know how to take care of a girl! It's so late. He could at least have offered us a ride." "We have our own car, don't we? We don't need his ride."

Sophie quickly got into the car while Jenna just pouted. It wasn't the same! Jenna wanted her foolish brother to spend more time with Sophie!

Jenna shook her head. She was really putting a lot of effort into making this pair work.

Meanwhile

James was standing outside the apartment building across from Eastwood College, waiting for Sophie to appear.

The security guard was starting to feel sorry for him. The man had been standing there from day to night- a whole eight hours without moving! "Mr. James, should I call her for you?"

"No thanks."

James refused outright. He stood there, just waiting.

At that moment, Jenna's car returned, but since James was standing at the apartment complex's entrance, she couldn't drive in.

"Who's that blocking the way at this hour of the night?"

Jenna got out of the car and saw James standing at the gate.

Sophie also got out of the car, and when she saw James, she frowned. She thought she had made things clear to James last time. She didn't know what James was doing blocking her way again. Jenna spoke discontentedly, "James, what are you trying to do now?"

James remained silent and continued to stare at Sophie.

Jenna said, "Sophie doesn't have time to waste with you here! She just got out of the hospital and needs to rest! Please move aside!"
