Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 135

Perry bombarded her with questions, his concern evident.

Sophie knew that among all present, only Perry truly had her best interests at heart. She glanced around the room and spoke softly, "I've decided to divorce James."

At Sophie's words, Jessica's smile vanished. She shot up from her chair, her voice rising dramatically, "What? Divorce?"

"Jessica, why are you so surprised?"

"How can you divorce him? He is James Burke!"

Disbelief was written all over Jessica's face. Previously, Sophie had been head over heels for James, scheming tirelessly to marry him.

How could it be that only a few months into the marriage, she was contemplating divorce?

Perry pondered for a moment before asking, "Is this James' idea?"

"No, it's my decision."

"Are you sure about this?"

Sophie nodded, "I've made up my mind."

Hearing this, Perry seemed to make a decision as well, stating firmly, "Alright then, let's get a divorce!"

"Idiot! What divorce?" Jessica pushed Perry aside and shouted at Sophie, "Sophie, you're taking marriage too lightly! If you divorce James, what will become of the Russell family? How can you do this to your uncle?"

Sophie looked on coldly while Perry now stepped in, pulling Jessica back. "Shut up! This isn't your place to speak!"

"Perry! How can you say that? I'm doing this for your and the Russell family's sake! It's James we're talking about! If you divorce him, how will the Russell family survive?" Sophie remained silent.

Jessica wasn't entirely wrong. The Russell family's resurgence and their continued prominence were largely due to James.

The marriage between the Russell and the Burke families had been mutually beneficial and had given Jessica her moment in the limelight.

Perry retorted, "I don't think our family can't survive without James! Besides, even if the Russell family falls apart, the family fortune is enough to support you and your son for generations! You should be grateful!"

"You!" Jessica was furious.

Isaac, who had been silent, now stood by his mother, trying to support her, "Dad! Mom's right. Sophie is the Russell family's daughter. We've supported her all these years. She should do something for the Russell family!"

"Shut up!" Perry barked at Isaac.

Though resentful, Isaac dared not talk back at this moment.

Perry turned to Sophie, his tone earnest. "Sophie is the only child my brother left behind, and I promised him I'd take care of her. Enough of this talk. Even without James, the Russell family will survive." Sophie was silent. She knew Perry cared for her, treating her like his own child ever since she was young.

"Uncle Perry, trust me, I won't let the Russell family fall apart."

Jessica was beside herself with anger. "Trust you? How can we trust you? You can't seriously think that you can manage Russell Enterprises just because you graduated from Eastwood College!" "Yes, Mr. Perry, please reconsider. If Ms. Sophie really divorces Mr. Burke. What will we do?"

"You can't be so selfish! If you divorce Mr. Burke, we'll all be left out in the cold!"

Voices from other branches of the Russell family and senior executives buzzed around them.
