Upon seeing this, Bea immediately stood up, fuming, "This is the Burke household! How dare you hurt my grandson!"

Perry had always been timid and avoided confrontations, but on this matter, he showed no signs of backing down. "My niece married into your family, and now she has been harmed by kidnappers because of your grandson, and we still have no clue about my niece's whereabouts! Do I not have the right to be furious? I'm telling you, if anything happens to Sophie, the Russell family will not let this go!" "You! You're being completely unreasonable!"

Bea clutched her chest, gasping for air. She had been respected all her life. When had she ever been subjected to such indignity?

She immediately turned to Marian and ordered, "Go! Go call security and have these two thrown out!"

"Honey, why are you making such a big deal out of this?"

Jessica tried to hold Perry back, but he shook off her grasp, insisting, "Today, the Burke family must give me an explanation!"

Bea looked at Marian, who stood frozen, and snapped, "What are you waiting for? Go, now!"

"Yes, yes, Madam."

Marian was about to leave, but James stopped her and said, "Hold on."

Frowning, James said, "Mr. Perry, this was my oversight. It was my fault that Sophie had that accident. If you want to blame or scold someone, I deserve it."

James' sincere attitude made Perry slightly less angry.

At that moment, Nichole suddenly spoke up, "James, how can you say that? Sophie's bad luck is the reason the kidnappers targeted her! You've been tirelessly sending people to look for her these past days. How could he hit you?"

Hearing Nichole chime in, James exploded, "Shut up!"

Nichole was startled into silence.

However, this drew Perry's attention to Nichole, and after staring at her for a while, he said, "Ah, so you're the college student that was rumored to be James' mistress? It seems the rumors are true. As soon as something happens to Sophie, James couldn't wait to bring you into the Burke household. The Burke family's plans are indeed cunning!"

Perry turned to Jessica by his side and declared, "Let's go. From today onwards, we will look for Sophie! The relationship between the Russell family and the Burke family is irreconcilable!" Perry stormed off, leaving Jessica terrified.

What standing did James hold in Devonport? How could the Russel family possibly stand against the Burkes?

She chased after Perry, leaving with an apologetic smile to everyone in the room.

Inside the house, Bea scoffed, "What are the Russells, anyway! How dare they make threats and boast in front of the Burke family! James, you don't have to show any mercy to them from now on. Let them know that offending the Burke family will have dire consequences!"

James felt his head spinning with chaos. Rubbing his temples, he said, "Grandmother, please get some rest."

James, carrying his suit jacket, left the Burke household, with Colt following closely behind.

"Mr. Burke!"

James paused, turning to Colt. "Do everything possible to compensate the Russell family. If the partnership between us falls through, the Russells will definitely suffer losses. Find a way to make it up to them." "But Mr. Burke, Burke International is also in danger now. Without our network and the Russell family's support, many projects will likely collapse."

Colt sensed something was amiss. Recent events seemed to be targeting Burke International. In just a month, it had seen many major projects fail, resulting in significant financial losses.

If it weren't for Burke International's strong financial foundation, any other company might have already been crushed under the pressure.
