Lucy White was, in fact, deliberately trying to imply that Vera Warner was the one who had leaked their location. Her reasoning was that Vera knew the layout of the underground city too well to accidentally trigger a switch. Only a complete novice would make a mistake like that.
But Ron was lost in thought, a frown on his face. "If it was an outsider, it probably has nothing to do with Vera. If she had truly betrayed us, she would have told them about the mechanisms. Why would she let them get discovered the moment they entered?"
The reason Vera Warner hadn't told Victor Morgan about the traps was to avoid arousing suspicion. If she revealed everything she knew, they would inevitably become wary of her and connect her to the whole affair.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Vera couldn't expose these things. She wanted to avoid a direct confrontation with the organization, which would do her no good.
