Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Yates stared, dumbfounded, at the scene unfolding before him.

Was Vince actually standing up for Jessica? Now that was something-such a generous spirit.

Even though it was obvious Vince had feelings for Jessica, he still accepted her being with Herbert. Yates couldn't help but admire him, genuinely impressed. Meanwhile, Timothy's brow was furrowed in frustration. He'd only been trying to help Sheila―Jessica was a natural talent who didn't need any of this.

Did Vince really have to lose his temper over it?

Still, having managed to anger his brother-in-law once again, Timothy felt his chest tighten with anxiety.

With that, he hurried off and caught up with Vince in the parking garage.

"Seriously, what was with that outburst back there? Timothy looked like he'd seen a ghost."

Vince scoffed, "Let him. I'm not here to cater to his feelings. No wonder even a woman who can't speak ended up marrying above her station with him-only to want a divorce anyway. Married for seven years, kid's already six, and he still can't keep things clean with Sheila."
