"Don't you understand that you're in danger?!" Vernon yelled. "What would you do if you met Vincent there?"
"W—Well, I believe he will never come. Ever since Mackie started going to school, he never showed himself to any of the parents' meetings…." Chloe tried to reason with Vernon.
She felt no fear even though Vernon raised his voice because she knew he was just looking out for her.
Both of them knew the risk of meeting Vincent. Vernon could still survive because he played a mind game with his Big bro while slowly chipping Vincent's company.
But Chloe didn't have the same privilege. She would definitely get tortured and killed if she met Vincent.
"Vincent has no reason to come…." Chloe continued reasoning. "Don't worry, Vernon. Everything will be alright…."
Chloe drew near Vernon and gently patted his head, trying to calm him down.
