Diamond bit her lip. What her boss said was correct. If Chloe experienced bullying and abuse outside, even after she left her bastard husband, it would be stupid if Vernon and Diamond didn't do anything to help her.

"Don't tell me you don't want to help me because you're afraid of invading her privacy? Oh come on, she clearly needs my, no, OUR help!" Vernon insisted. "Do you want Chloe to get hurt right in front of your eyes? I thought you're her best friend."
Vernon's persuasion seemed to have shaken Diamond's firm belief that she shouldn't interfere with Chloe's problem and would just support her best friend emotionally (and financially if she could).
