Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 270

Mr. Smith couldn't understand sign language and had no idea what Jessica was trying to say to Timothy.

Now, Jessica seemed to have pushed Timothy to the edge. He stood there, every inch of him radiating a dark, brooding anger. His striking features were set in a harsh, cold mask, lips pressed into a tight line.
