Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 441

“Dad, go ahead and take care of your business.”

She really just called him Dad?

Vince Zimmerman let out a cold snort in his mind. Sheila Howard had been adopted by Abell and Sandra practically from the moment she was born. What a sweet deal for that so-called father—never raised a daughter, but the moment she found him, she recognized him anyway.

Sheila’s biological father handed Timothy Lawson a business card. “Here’s my card. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

Timothy barely glanced at the card and made no move to take it.

An awkward silence hung between them. Sheila nudged her father, urging him, “You should go.”

With no other choice, he left for now.

Earlier, Vince had helped Jessica Greene run a check on that car, which was how he learned Sheila’s father went by Mayfield.

She remembered, back when she was a kid, her grandma used to call him Dr. Field. Clearly, he’d been using a fake name for his cons.

Now he drove a Bentley, everything he wore screamed expensive, from the watch on his wrist to the signet ring on his thumb—a fortune on display. Apparently, he’d climbed the social ladder by now.

“Timothy,” Sheila called, wanting to explain.

But Timothy had already turned away, heading back to his table.

Sheila followed after him.

Jessica leaned toward Vince. “Let’s get out of here.”

He nodded, ushering her outside. “I’ll have the driver take you home, Jessica. I’m going to stick around and see what else I can find out.”

“Thank you,” she said softly.

“Don’t worry. I’ll dig up more on this Mayfield guy. Your grandma was a benefactor to my grandfather and to the whole Zimmerman family. I promise I’ll do everything I can to get justice for her.”

He held open the car door, helping Jessica in, then turned and strode back into Gin Lane Epilogues. He walked straight to Timothy’s table, dropped into the seat beside Yates Bryant, and announced, “Timothy, I overheard everything. Now that Sheila’s found her real father, she’s not technically your aunt anymore. That means your marriage is pretty much over. If you two want to pick up where you left off, well, no one’s going to stand in your way. Congratulations in advance.”

Yates quickly grabbed his arm. “Vince, don’t be ridiculous.”

Lately, Vince had been going out of his way to help Jessica and challenge Timothy, even though he knew Timothy didn’t want the divorce. But Vince just couldn’t resist these little jabs.

Sheila stayed silent. If she jumped in now, she’d only make things worse—especially if she ever wanted to tell Timothy how she really felt.
