They've probably forgotten all about that little wretch by now." Korbin's reply was laced with anxiety. "It doesn't matter how much thas passed. We must never talk about it. If we provoke them, it could be the end for our whole family." Betty fell silent for a moment before conceding. "You're right. We shouldn't talk about it. Besides, Marissa keeps sending us money.
