A couple of fairly straight forward questions this time. The first is speculation, at least until you get to the later chapters in the book. The second is a question about human nature, as reflected in the characters of the story.
1. You have lots of ideas about what causes the downfall of the bad guys: Luther's big mouth, a falling out, Jack catching them in the act, and lots more. These are all good ideas; who knows what will be the final plot events?
2. Jack is distrusted because he has a criminal record, he is a convict on parole. He is also "a stranger from away". Newcomers to a group are always at risk of being distrusted, and he is not a native Grand Mananer. Most of the people on Grand Manan are very friendly, open, caring, and helpful, but human nature puts a newcomer at risk of misunderstanding.
Bessie sees the goodness in Jack and just knows that he is not a thief. Jack is not going anywhere; his dream of fishing is too strong.
So lets see how this all plays out. There is all sorts of excitement to come.
