Chapter 328
Isaac froze, still puzzled about what Colby was up to, but in no time, he found himself encircled by a few people.
Colby had no interest in watching such a scene. He headed toward the exit, his voice indifferent. “I’ll leave this to you. Teach Mr. Isaac a lesson on how to behave.”
“Yes!”
As Colby walked out of the abandoned factory, a series of wails echoed from within.
At dawn, Sophie woke up groggily to find a man with a bruised face kneeling in front of her. She blinked in surprise, rubbing her eyes to see clearly. It was Isaac kneeling by her bed.
Isaac, who had been pampered since childhood and had only tasted the hardship of prison time briefly, had never suffered like this before. This was the first time his handsome face had been battered to such an extent.
“We brought him back to you. How you want to deal with him is up to
”
Colby sat on the edge of Sophie’s bed.
Seeing Colby, Isaac immediately lost his nerve. Colby was probably the only person who could have frightened Isaac to this extent in one night.
“I’m sorry, Sophie. Please forgive me. I will never do it again!”
“Oh? Now you remember to be nice to me?” Sophie raised an eyebrow, and Isaac was too scared to meet her gaze.
“Mr. Perry woke up this morning. I believe he’d be very eager to see his son.” Colby’s tone was light but sent a chill. down Isaac’s spine.
Was he going to see his dad? That was clearly pushing him towards a dead end. He’d rather be dead!
“I know I made a mistake. Please, I beg you, talk to my dad for me. He’s going to kill me!” Isaac was terrified, his voice trembling. Sophie remained unmoved. “What good does my forgiveness do? You’ve seriously injured Uncle Perry. If he forgives you, naturally, I won’t pursue the matter further.”
“Sophie! How could you…”
Isaac became frantic again, but at the sight of Colby’s gaze, he immediately backed down.
Tricia, take him away. I’ll follow shortly.”
“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”
Tricia picked Isaac up. He was different from the last time and now obedient, not daring to make a single move, and cooperating fully as he walked out.
“Well, you work magic. I never saw Isaac this well–behaved.”
“To deal with a villain, one must use a villain’s methods.” Colby spoke lightly.
Sophie admitted she had been too lenient with Isaac previously, thinking that his time in prison would have made him reflect, but instead, he became worse.
“He is still Uncle Perry’s son, after all. If he can change for the better, I would be happy to see it. But if he can’t, I’d rather Uncle Perry not have such a son.”
Sophie threw back the covers, and Colby naturally reached out to support her.
Sophie’s hand touched Colby’s warm skin, instinctively about to pull away, but Colby instead grasped her wrist. “Take it slow.”
