Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Yates Bryant grabbed Timothy Lawson by the arm. "You're really going through with the divorce? Wait, then why did you give Vince Zimmerman the documents about splitting your assets?"

Vince took the folder without hesitation.

A second later, he slammed the file against Timothy's chest. "You think our family needs your money? Do you really believe a payout can make up for what you've done to her?"

"Timothy!"

"Our family doesn't want your empty gestures!"

"I came here to tell you don't even think about dragging this out. When the waiting period is up, you're going to sign those divorce papers. No more games."

Yates hurried over and pulled Vince aside. "What's gotten into you? Timothy's divorce has nothing to do with your family. Don't let something like this ruin everyone's relationship."

He was trying to keep the peace, still unaware of the full story. Vince didn't take offense; instead, he fixed Yates with a serious look. "If this had nothing to do with the Zimmermans, do you think I'd be here?"

"It's not just about us-it concerns you too."

"Otherwise, why would I ask you to come?"

Yates looked even more confused. "Me? How does this involve me?"

"Jessy is Salome Zimmerman," Vince replied without hesitation.

Yates froze.
