Shailene worked on her report while she was waiting for Vernon to come.
She recalled all the words said by Vernon's mother;
"But what she said makes sense," Shailene murmured while writing her report on Dorothea Gray. "There is no way Vernon can be so obsessed with his sister-in-law without any kind of mental manipulation when he was a kid."
"Especially when they had been separated for ten years straight without contact, and Vernon maintained his obsession even after going through countless dates," Shailene added more reason not to believe that Chloe was innocent.
Shailene stopped writing when she realized something unethical with her observation, "Am I biased against Chloe because of my experience with Vernon?"
Shailene started questioning herself. She put her pen down and leaned on the chair while looking at the ceiling. She wondered if she might have a clouded judgment because of her animosity against Vernon.
