The reason Gordon Morgan hadn't been harsher with his words was that his investigation had found no evidence of Vera Warner being involved with anyone. He was simply curious about the origin of her wealth.
He had originally suspected that she was only approaching Victor Morgan for his fortune, but then he recalled how she had risked her life for Zola Morgan time and time again. That was a level of devotion most people weren't capable of.
