Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 112

Herbert stared at Jessica, his expression unreadable.

It was clear now-her marriage really was falling apart.

Jessica thought Herbert didn't believe she was serious about the divorce. Her face was resolute as she continued signing, "I mean it. I need a lawyer. Please help me."

Ever since she'd married Timothy, nearly all her time had been spent at home. She barely had any friends of her own.

Timothy had his own legal team, filled with top-tier attorneys. With his status, no ordinary lawyer would dare take him on in court.

The Wheeler family looked formidable too. Jessica figured Herbert probably knew some powerful lawyers.

When Herbert returned home and learned Jessica had been married for seven years, he'd been left with a dull ache in his chest. He was genuinely sorry- perhaps even a little heartbroken.

So when he first sensed there was trouble in her marriage, a small part of him had hoped she might leave Timothy.
