Chapter 413

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.

How could she not know Timothy by now?

He'd found the person he was looking for—if he hadn't wanted this, Vince would never have managed to track anyone down.

Jessica wanted to stay and talk to Timothy alone. She gently asked Vince to leave.

"Jessy..."

Vince gripped her arm tightly, refusing to let go.

From everything he'd seen and heard, he knew Jessica might give in for the sake of his little sister.

"Don't talk to him. Let's just go."

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.

He couldn't bear to see her give up now.

Timothy's methods were ruthless-even Vince might not be a match for him, let alone Jessica.
