"All this needed to stop and needed to stop now no one else would die," she promised herself.
Melissa had told Anastasia everything that had happened inside the woman's mind. So, they were not far from the truth, now they knew who was behind the super formula in reality. Ronald was the mastermind behind it, even before Richard Sr. was born.
That will then explain why the woman's late son didn't know anything before that. "It seemed like he just went along with her mother's plan" Melissa had told Anastasia, Richard Jr's hatred against the vampire was so deep that he didn't even question her mother's involvements with the werewolves. The man just wanted to get rid of the vampires all along. To end up as one and hating that a vampire took the love of his life, that is how Richard Jr. had died, he just was another pawn on this sick game for power and survival.
