Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 520

Yates slid into Vince’s car, ready to head back to the Zimmerman estate and pick up Jessica for dinner.

As he buckled in, Timothy’s name flashed on the dashboard screen. Yates glanced at Vince. “It’s Timothy calling.”

“Go on, answer it. Put him on speaker—I’m curious what he wants this time.”

Yates accepted the call and switched to speakerphone. Timothy’s voice came through, slightly breathless and urgent. “Yates, what’s Jessica’s connection to that film, ‘Letters from the Fetal Sea’?”

So, he’d caught on.

Not bad—he was quick.

Yates shot Vince a look, silently asking if they should spill. Vince shook his head. Not a word.

Jessica had confided in him before: Timothy couldn’t know. She was worried he’d ruin everything.

That movie was Carlisle and his friends’ labor of love. It would be a disaster if all their hard work went up in smoke.

Jessica wasn’t hoping to make a fortune; she just wanted to give Carlisle and his crew a chance to prove themselves.

And Vince had seen it firsthand—Timothy had tried to snatch the film and slap Sheila’s name on it.

Just like Jessica had warned.

There was no way Vince would let Timothy mess with the film’s release.

“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? My soon-to-be brother-in-law swooped right in. I just invested some money, made a bit, then dropped out. I’m not hurting for cash, so I stopped paying attention.”

“Stop calling him your brother-in-law. Jessica is my wife.”

Timothy’s irritation was palpable.

“I never said Jessica. I’m talking about Salome—she’s my fiancée. Vince has been my future brother-in-law for, what, twenty, thirty years now? Why can’t I call him that? Unless you want to?”

Vince let go of the wheel with one hand and shot Yates a thumbs-up.
