"S—Sorry, I misspoke…." Chloe tried to cover up for the damage that she had done. She knew that Vernon must've realized much of the abuse that Vincent did to her.
No matter how hard she tried to cover it, she knew the secret would leak out sooner or later.
Vernon already knew that she was abused by Vincent and that bastard physically and mentally abused her.
And now, Vernon would also know that Vincent sexually abused her.
She never wanted the secret to leak out because she didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two brothers. After all, Vernon would still need Vincent's help if he wanted his business to grow.
So she… didn't want to be an obstacle.
"What do you mean misspoke?" Vernon asked.
"N—Nobody said anything about me. I'm so sorry…." Chloe replied as she was covering for Vincent's sin. She tried to force a smile but couldn't, and her tears continued flowing down as she felt a heartache.
