He couldn't let Jessica face this alone anymore.

Back when he barely knew her, he already felt a deep tenderness for her. Now, the thought of her enduring more misery because of Timothy was simply

unbearable.

But Jessica understood all too well.

She'd been married to Timothy for seven years. He'd always been distant, but she'd loved him fiercely, always hoping to bridge the gap between them. She'd tried, time and again, to get to know him better, hoping that if she just tried hard enough, he might finally come closer.

Vince understood just how much Jessica had suffered at the hands of Timothy and the Lawsons. He knew better than anyone how desperately she wanted to leave Timothy.
