"It's not your fault, Dorothea. It's probably the combination of a stressful job and annoying wife that makes him that way."
"Not my fault?" Dorothea frowned. She thought that statement from Shailene was very strange. "So it's Chloe's fault instead?"
"Perhaps," Shailene nodded as she tried to convince Dorothea. Although Shailene was still holding this secret as a weapon against Vernon later, she knew where Chloe was hiding right now.
She was with Vernon, trying to manipulate the love of her heart because Chloe was a horrible groomer. She was a pedophile who preyed on the vulnerable mind of young Vernon and made him her slave.
Though it wasn't her responsibility to wake Vernon up. She still wanted to wake him up and also wake Dorothea up.
They needed to know that Chloe was the monster all along.
Happy lunar new year!
