NovelEnglishChapter 320 When Jessica and Isaac were dragged into the basement, their faces turned pale with fear. A single glance from Sophie was enough to make Jessica collapse to the ground in terror.
"It wasn't me..." Jessica frantically waved her hands, pleading with Sophie, "Sophie, we had no choice, we were forced into this-" Sophie stepped forward, gripping Jessica's chin. There's a look in her eyes that Jessica had never seen before, fierce and terrifying.

Whatever you wanted, didn't he buy it for you without a second thought? He gave you everything, even sacrificing his own reputation. And you! You úngrateful snake!" Sophie violently pushed Jessica away.
Tears filled Jessica's eyes as she trembled with fear.
Sophie coldly said, "If anything happens to my Uncle Perry, you and your darling son can expect to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
"Sophie!" Jessica wanted to beg Sophie for mercy, but Sophie's heart was solely focused on Perry's wellbeing.
Colby had his men take Perry out of the basement, his voice deep and serious, "I've already contacted the hospital. We're taking Perry there now." "He's going to be okay, right?" "From what I saw, it should just be superficial wounds." Sophie's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled.
Sophie coldly glanced at Jessica and Isaac, still held on the ground, and said, "Keep them locked up here. If Uncle Perry is fortunate enough to cback, they can be released. If Uncle Perry doesn't return- Sophie's implication was clear.

How can you treatand my mom like this! This is our house! What right do you have to do this to us." Before Isaac could finish his plea, Sophie kicked him to the ground. Sophie's high heel pressed against Isaac's chest. He could not move, fearing the sharp heel piercing his flesh.
"In Devonport, only those with power have a say. Didn't your teachers teach you that in school?" Isaac's face turned pale.
Looking at that face, which bore a resemblance to Perry's, Sophie withdrew her foot, "You and your mother better/pray here, pray that my Uncle Perry comes back safe and sound, pray that he can soften his heart and release you. Otherwise, wait for death in this basement."
The basement had only a narrow vent and not a single lamp. Once the door was closed, it was pitch black, unable to see your hand in front of your face. Ordinary people would go mad in such a place after just an hour, and they had to spend an entire night here.
Jessica couldn't bear to think-if with-nol Perry didn't return, with no light, Ind water, no food, and Sophie's heart of stone, they would receive no aid. They had only a path to death.
The basement door creaked shut, and Jessica heard the sound of the iron door being locked from the outside. Sophie stood behind that basement door, silent for a moment. "Is what I'm doing right or wrong?" This word is far darker than you can imagine. If you're not strong, someone will always be there to trample you underfoot
