"Uncle Perry, are you certain about your decision?" Sophie watched Perry worriedly, fearing he might regret his choices in the future.

Perry was resolute in cutting ties with Isaac. "That monster even turned against his own father. What else wouldn't he do? Today, I'm not only severing ties with him, but I'm also calling a press conference to announce my divorce from Jessica! From now on, not a penny of my inheritance will fall into the hands of her and her son!"

Hearing this, Isaac broke down, shouting, "Dad! You can't do this to me! Everything the Russell family has should be mine! How can you leave it all to outsiders?"

"Outsiders? Every bit of the Russell family fortune was left by my brother! The food you've eaten and the drinks you've had were all covered by the money Sophie brought. How could you have the heart to harm her?"

Previously, Perry had only seen Isaac as mischievous. He didn't even know that Isaac could commit such an atrocious act.

Perry said coldly, "You are no longer my son. Now get out!"

"Dad!"

Colby spoke indifferently, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Perry said? Take him away."

"Yes."

The bodyguard outside dragged Isaac out of the hospital room.

Sophie remained silent.

Perry gently patted the back of Sophie's hand. "Sophie, it was me who was blind and foolish to have kept such a heartless woman by my side all these years. You've suffered too much." Regret and fatigue were written all over Perry's face.

Sophie didn't feel like she had been mistreated, though. After her parents passed away in her previous life, she had brought her family's inheritance to seek refuge with Perry. Jessica had put on a façade of virtue and decency in front of Perry, while being harsh and mean to her behind his back.

Back then, Perry was her only family, and Sophie didn't want to stir up trouble, bearing everything silently.

She thought that by doing so, she was being kind to Perry, but she didn't expect that years later, Jessica would drain the family's finances and then coldly abandon a penniless Perry with Isaac in tow. Now, having been given a second chance at life, Sophie understood that it was better to cut ties swiftly.

Although severing ties with Jessica and Isaac was painful for Perry, it was better than being schemed against and left with nothing in the future.

Outside, Tricia hesitated before peering into the room, catching Sophie's attention.

She asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Tricia entered somewhat nervously, glanced at Colby, then at Sophie, and cleared her throat. "Mr. Adler is outside."

Sophie frowned. "Adler?"

Tricia nodded with difficulty. "Yes. Mr. Adler is here for Colby."

Sophie glanced at Colby, who after a moment of silence, said, "I'll go see what he wants."

Sophie nodded.

After Colby left the room, Sophie asked, "What does Adler want with Colby?"

"Erm..."

"Is it about Vanessa?"

Sophie's tone was light, and Tricia reluctantly nodded.

So it was indeed about Vanessa.

Sophie asked, "Do you know what it's about?"
