Linus rubbed his temples. Tatiana's logic was a little weird.
Linus didn't know that Tatiana thought about this every time she cleaned up the messes Krystal made. Krystal wouldn't have done so many stupid things if she had inherited their intelligence.
Luckily, Krystal wasn't her daughter. Or else, it would be really humiliating.
"Mom, Krystal is the least of our worries right now. Our top priority is finding my real sister."
Tatiana snapped back to reality. She wanted to rush to Lisa and settle the score.
"Lisa said her child died back then. Does that mean she…"
"Mom, you have to calm down. Lisa is cunning. Going to question her now might have adverse effects. She might even retaliate if we force her hand."
"Then, what should we do?"
"We have to seize the initiative. Don't worry, I've already sent some people to look into my sister's whereabouts. What you have to do is not alert her.
"You have to try to probe her for information while feigning ignorance and keep her oblivious to what we're doing."
Tatiana was visibly upset. She covered her face with her hands.
"I was so good to her. I treated her like my own sister. How could she do something like this?"
"Human greed is bottomless. It never gets satisfied."
Tatiana sighed. "My poor daughter. Where is she now?"
Hints of worry and panic lined their faces. It had been so many years. They couldn't be sure that she was still alive. They were afraid that they would only end up finding a corpse.
Mason patted Tatiana on the shoulder. "Our daughter will be fine. Don't worry."
Everyone could tell that those were nothing but words of comfort.
