Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 476

Herbert stared blankly into Vince's anxious eyes, blurting out, "Left side of her

chest-pink-heart-shaped."

Vince collapsed into the passenger seat, numb with shock. So it was true. Jessica

Vince's reply was hoarse, "It's not your fault. I should have known."

He picked it up. Timothy's name flashed across the screen.

Seeing that familiar name, Vince felt a murderous rage stir inside him.

Timothy's voice was cold and calm. "Take Salome home. The family's waiting to

bring her back."

He couldn't use Jessica's life as a gamble just to patch up a marriage that was

already beyond repair.
