Vanessa simply stopped in her tracks and looked at him from the top of the stairs as she said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself then. Tell me, what makes you think that you shouldn't be guilty about this?"
She had to admit that she shouldn't be judging Zorion's behavior from a regular person's point of view, as he was abnormal.
Otherwise, how could a normal person be so cold-blooded?
"Vanessa, are you out of your mind? Although we are to blame for whatever we did to Caroline in the past, did you forget who she is? She was once married to Tyler and was almost like a sister-in-law to Eddison. How can someone like her be married to the leader of the Zellweger family?"
"Yes, we were wrong in that incident as we did hurt her, but that was a completely different issue. We shouldn't be risking the Zellweger family's reputation just because we feel sorry for her."
