Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 194

"Honey, you have to believe me. I had nothing to do with this!"

No matter how Jessica tried to defend herself, Perry was unforgiving this time. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face, sending her sprawling to the ground, her face ghostly pale.

"You hit me?!"

Throughout their years of marriage, Perry had always been compliant and gentle with her. They might have had their arguments, but Perry had never laid a hand on her before!

Now, because of Sophie, Perry had quarreled with her repeatedly, and he had even resorted to physical violence!

"How can I react any differently when you engage in such disgraceful and harmful acts? Jessica, I was so wrong about you! Sophie is part of our family, and you've always been contemptuous towards her. Now you even plotted against her!" Perry pointed at Isaac standing nearby. "Look at what you've taught this fine young boy! Attempted murder! How could I have ever married someone like you?"

Jessica knew Perry was truly furious this time. Sophie had always been his Achilles' heel.

"Fine! If you think you're right, then let's get a divorce!"

Jessica suddenly stood her ground while Sophie watched coldly from the side.

This had always been Jessica's trump card. Whenever they faced a major argument, she would threaten divorce, and each time, Perry could not bear to part ways and usually ended up backing down.

But this time, her words seemed to have lost their power.

As expected, Perry did not soften as Jessica had hoped. Instead, he said, "Fine! Let’s get a divorce!"

Sophie continued, "You’ve been secretly sabotaging my efforts to take over the company, rallying the Russell family’s distant relatives against me. Uncle Perry was swayed by you then, wasn’t he?"

Jessica’s face betrayed her guilt.

Sophie stated, "I could overlook that, but if you want to avoid prison, you and your son must renounce your inheritance rights. Moreover, if anything happens to my uncle, neither of you will receive a cent."

"How can that be?!" Jessica blurted out.

Sophie raised an eyebrow. "When you first married into our family, was it for the Russell fortune or because you loved my uncle?"
