Chapter 514

Vernon stayed inside the spare office until late at night. He was so engrossed with his work that he didn't realize Diamond had been standing in front of a desk for a while. 

Diamond cleared her throat to get his attention and said, "Sir, I will be leaving."

Vernon gave Diamond a quick glance and nodded before returning to his laptop, "You can go now."

…

"Sir, I want to ask you something, and it's about Dorothea."

Vernon's brow creased. He lifted his head and stared at Diamond, "And what is it?"

"I thought you'd notice this sooner than I do. But I have been wondering about this for the whole day," Diamond took a deep breath and continued, "I wonder how Dorothea found out about your relationship with Chloe. Surely there must be someone who told her about this, right?"

…

Vernon's expression changed from calm to distraught instantly. 

It was that 'Oh shit' moment before he cursed himself for being so stupid and oblivious.
