"Stop!" Wayne interrupted her. "If this is the reason you called me. I gotta go." Dorothy's voice cto an abrupt halt, and tears welled up in her cloudy eyes.
Seeing this, Wayne's expression softened once again. He spoke cautiously, "Let's not dwell on it. Overthinking will only make things more complicated. Even though Valerie is gone, you have me. If you ever need my help in the future, tell me. I'll do my best." Dorothy swallowed her tears and forced a smile. "You said it. Alright, I won't say anymore. Let's drink." With that, she poured Wayne another glass.

Dorothy poured him another glass.
Wayne finally sensed something was off, "What are you up to?" Dorothy gave him a look. "Aren't we just drinking?" Wayne said, "Nobody drinks in this manner." Observing his reaction, Dorothy halted pouring him more wine and set down the decanter. "Okay, we won't drink anymore," she declared.
Wayne studied her face, detecting that something was amiss. If anything, it was her unnatural composure. She was too calm, not at all like someone who had just lost a daughter and needed company.
She didn't appear as fragile as she sounded on the phone, and she didn't seem interested in reminiscing after years apart or reigniting an old flame.

"What do I want?" she said. "There's much I want to do. I want to avenge my daughter. I want to send you to hell to apologize to Valerie. But above all, I want to curse you, to make every single one of you Kennedys pay for what you did to my daughter.
Wayne stood up abruptly, staring at Dorothy in shock as if he couldn't believe such horrifying words could cfrom such a dignified and elegant person.
Wayne said, "You're crazy. It seems you've been too heartbroken and have lost your mind. You should see a doctor." Dorothy laughed. "I'm very clear-headed. It's you who are selfish, hypocritical, and deceitful. People like you shouldn't exist in this world." "You..." Wayne wanted to leave, but the next second, his face changed.
He clutched his chest, his face quickly turning red, and he collapsed weakly back onto the sofa.
