This was precisely the outcome Vera Warner had been hoping for—to make Mrs. Pemberton appear to lose control, unable to restrain her emotions until she was ultimately deemed mentally unstable.
Vera could say such things because she understood Mrs. Pemberton's current state of mind. Having poisoned her own beloved child, she was already buckling under immense psychological pressure.
On top of that, her beloved husband had passed away, and now Vera was claiming she had angered him to death. How could she possibly withstand that kind of pressure?
Vera just needed to use these words to push her at a time like this, and Mrs. Pemberton would break.
Sure enough, Mrs. Pemberton flew into a rage. Unable to control her emotions, she began to act erratically, only to be quickly restrained by the police officers.
Vera seized the opportunity to say, "If she were a normal person, how could she possibly do something so horrific? I think everyone here can see that very clearly."
