"Yeah, that's bullshit," Vernon sneered. He sat on the opposite couch facing Dorothea and added, "Do you really think I believe that you're the ones doing the dirty jobs? Stop guilt tripping my woman to do your stuff."
Dorothea decided to just stay silent after realizing that Vernon wouldn't believe her anyway. So she went straight to the point, "Why are you knocking at my door at this hour? Do you need something?"
Vernon's sneer and mocking grin dissipated instantly. He forgot that he had knocked on her door because of those four boys.
He crossed his arms and asked, "What do you do when I'm not around?"
"Uh, I help Chloe to cook, clean my room, and watch TV. Sometimes I take care of Mackie when she wants to play with me during her free time," Dorothea said. She wanted to be honest with everything so her son wouldn't be suspicious of her. "I've cut my contact with anyone from the Gray family since I'm currently in hiding."
