"Vincent?!"
Vernon put his index over his lips and looked at the kids, telling Dorothea to shut up, or these boys might wake up.
Dorothea covered her mouth instantly but still couldn't hide her shock. She stared at Vernon with disbelief. She shook her head a few times and then murmured, "H—How could that be? Is he that cruel?"
"He is, you can ask Chloe about this. I got it from her, and she got this information from the Officer when she got called to the police department this evening," Vernon informed. He peered at his mother, who seemed to be in too much shock that her brain short-circuited on the spot. "Why are you surprised anyway? Do you not realize what a terrible monster he is?"
"I know he is terrible. I know he's abusive as well. It's the reason why I decided to come to you and Chloe, because I realize he is just as bad as your father…." Dorothea lamented. "But I never knew that he could be so cruel to target kids."
