'If only I could kill her,' Diamond thought. She asked for permission from her boss on the call. She told her about everything, and Vernon vehemently refused, much to her surprise.
-Diamond's call with Vernon-
'You can hurt her, but don't kill her. She has a strong backing of her own. You might get killed as an act of revenge from her father, and I don't want to lose my best employee,' Vernon said. 'Try to do something less risky, but with bigger reward. Try to scare or traumatize her, you can also use the information that my agent gave to your advantage. I know that you can think of something that can absolutely traumatize her.'
'Are you sure, Sir? I mean, Shailene is a threat. She might have told Vincent something that'd harm us,' Diamond said.
'No, she won't,' Vernon replied confidently. 'She has no channel whatsoever with my Big brother. She only has a channel with Dorothea. All I need to do is to eliminate that old bitch.'
