Harriet told David maybe it was just their longing for pursuit of happiness that seemed to ruin their family. David got frustrated and refused to believe it. Paul wanted to go to boarding school, away from Ben just like his brothers and sisters. David felt proud to say he would pay for Paul's school fees.
During the holidays the whole family got together . Helen seemed to hate her mom for how she raised them because of Ben. Molly suggested that Harriet and David sell the house. Although David agreed, Harriet was not ready to let it go. She was afraid of being in a smaller house with Ben. At his new school Ben made another gang with Derek, Billy, Elvis, and Vic. He seemed attached to them like he was with John. Ben was the leader of this group, whether they knew it or not.
Harriet read the new and tried to compare the descriptions of the robbers and rapists to anyone in Ben's group but failed. The gang was at the house almost everyday. David told them they should sell the house so the group doesn't come over any more, but they didn't. Ben barely came home, he was always with his gang. Harriet would always watch the news to see if Ben was in any trouble but he wasn't. She still believed he was a different creature from the rest. Also, she believed she was left alone by her family because she rescued him. Harriet believes when the day will come when Ben and his gang get caught for stealing or any other bad things.
