If a normal person saw those photos, their first reaction would be to shut off their phone in shame, never showing them to anyone.

Yet, Sophie laid those photos out for everyone to see, clearly indicating she didn't care about the matter. If she didn't care, how could those few photos possibly threaten her?

The ultimate conclusion was that Sophie was looking for an excuse to let James go.

Sophie frowned, saying, "Colt probably wasn't lying. This has nothing to do with James."

The incident was so sudden, she was initially shocked that James would stoop to such despicable tactics.

But upon further thought, there were many inconsistencies.

If James wanted to get her, why would he need to associate with someone like Jessica?

There definitely was something amiss.

Though she wanted to divorce James, she didn't want to wrongfully accuse him.

"I know you were worried about me tonight, and you went to great lengths to deal with James. Now I suddenly say I'm letting him go, I..."

Before Sophie could finish, suddenly, Colby reached out and flicked Sophie's forehead.

She was startled, only to see Colby staring at her, his eyes reflecting nothing but adoration, "Why are you explaining this to me?"

"I just feel like I owe you an apology."

"Do what you want to do with confidence. You have my support."

Colby's simple words seemed to give her the strongest support.

Meanwhile, Jessica and Isaac were as anxious as cats on a hot tin roof.

Jessica paced back and forth in the living room, fretting, "How could James be arrested just like that? Who in Devonport has the audacity to lay hands on James? If the police investigate and trace it back to us, we're finished."

The Russell family didn't have powerful connections. Kidnapping was a serious crime. Last time, even though Isaac was a minor, he had already suffered a lot in jail.

Isaac sat on the sofa, anxious, but relieved he had a backup plan.

With so many compromising photos of Sophie on his phone, she wouldn't turn them in.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. A group of people instantly stormed into the Russell residence. Isaac had seen such a scenario before and still felt his legs go weak at the sight. When Colby walked in protecting Sophie, Jessica and Isaac's faces turned pale.

Sophie's clothes were torn, and she was draped in Colby's coat. What happened to her was obvious.

Sophie sneered, "Jessica, surprised to see me back?"

"You, you..." Jessica swallowed hard, terrified, "Sophie, I was only thinking of your best interests. I didn't want you to miss out on a good match with Mr. Burke. Though the methods were wrong, it was all for your own good. For the sake of the Russell family, considering my dedication and toil for the Russell family all these years, you should-"

"For my sake?" Sophie was almost amused by the statement, "Or for your own luxury and riches, Jessica?"

"Sophie! How can you say that! I truly was-..."
