Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 417

“Vince.”

Left with no other choice, Phelps called out for Vince. But Vince didn’t answer either—he simply walked away with Jessica.

Everything was upside down now. Sallie was furious. She stormed after them.

Jessica and Vince had just reached the car when Timothy’s sedan pulled up and parked right beside theirs. He got out slowly, leaning on a cane.

Jessica shot Timothy a cold glance and opened the car door.

“Jess.” Timothy pressed his hand against the door, keeping it closed. “Come home, just this once. If you’re worried, Vince can come with you.”

His voice was low and rough, with a hint of pleading. These days, he’d become nothing more than a man waiting for his wife to come home.

Vince stepped forward. “Timothy, after what you did today, there’s no going back. Don’t you see that?”

Sallie, watching Timothy’s defeated posture, remembered the promise she’d made to treat Jessica better for his sake. But seeing her brother hurt like this—she just couldn’t stand it.

She marched over and slapped Vince hard across the face.

Jessica’s eyes widened in shock. She instinctively jumped between them.

Trying to spare Timothy’s feelings, Sallie simply pulled Jessica aside and fixed Vince with a glare.

“You shameless creep! Jessica isn’t even divorced from Timothy yet. You’re thirty, aren’t you? Don’t you know you don’t mess around with your friend’s wife?”

“Sal!” Timothy reached out, dragging Sallie back to his side. “What are you doing?”

This was only making things worse.

Sallie looked at Timothy, her expression full of pain. “I can’t just stand by and watch them bully you.”

Sandra, Abell, and Phelps hurried out and saw the scene unfolding. They looked ready to intervene, but Sheila held them back. “Let Timothy handle this. If we get involved, it’ll only make things messier, right?”

Sandra and Abell could only sigh in frustration.

“It’s not their fault. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me. Take Grandma and Grandpa home,” Timothy said quietly.

Sallie called out anxiously, “Timothy—!”

His eyes hardened. “I said go!”

Sallie stamped her foot, exasperated. “Fine! See if I care. Let’s see how you like being pushed around!”
