After Linda had finished her speech, she paused, waiting expectantly for skind of reaction from the

members of the Quirk family. However, as the silence stretched, her nervous fingers, which had been absently

twiddling with her necklace, suddenly stilled. She looked around with a bewildered expression.

Her eyes met a series of restrained expressions. It was clear that her words had not been received as she had

hoped.

"What do you mean? You're not even willing to help with this small favor?" Linda's voice carried a tone of

disbelief and frustration as she turned her gaze specifically toward Selena, her disappointment plainly visible as

if Selena had personally betrayed her expectations. Selena, caught off guard, struggled to find the right words.

"Haven't you ever been online? The last person who tried to kick someone out of the entertainment industry

ended up being ostracized by their own family," she stammered, her voice filled with incredulity. David, with a

slightly amused look, chimed in as well, "Furthermore, they once tried to court our daughter-in-law, but the

outcwas..." His voice trailed off, prompting a round of subdued chuckles. from the others as they glanced

toward Isabella, who maintained an expression of feigned innocence.

Linda, not to be deterred, replied confidently, "How can it be the same? Considering the long years we have

known each other, shouldn't those youngsters show srespect to me, an elder?"

This remark did not sit well with the Quirks, who found Linda's tone presumptuous.

Isabella couldn't hold back her retort

Show you respect? Have you ever given the younger generation of the Quirk family any money or gift or

anything similar? Why should we show you respect?

There was a palpable sense of disbelief at Isabella's leap to the topic of money. Yet, there was an undeniable

logic to her argument.

Christopher joined in, expressing his disdain. You expect us to respect you as elders, yet you've never shown us

any generosity. How can you expect help in return?

The situation escalated as Linda's irritation grew evident. "Selena, do you think your parents would believeif

| tell them you wouldn't helpwith even this small favor?" she threatened, clearly frustrated by the lack of

support.

This accusation seemed to shock the younger members of the Quirk family, who were unaccustomed to dealing

with elders who would resort to reporting them to their parents..

Despite this, Selena remained composed, replying, "Our family has never resorted to using our influence to bully

others. Moreover, this involves the future reputation of Bella in the entertainment industry. She is determined to

be a fair and just figure within the industry, without favoritism."

Isabella felt an awkward tension surrounding her. Mdm. Selena's clearly brainwashed by the inteand making

things so awkward for me!

Despite the awkwardness, Selena stood her ground, her pride in her stance apparent.

The rest of the Quirk family struggled to contain their amusement at the unfolding . 17:03 Mon, Oct 7BG.

"You!" Linda was taken aback by the unexpected resistance to what she considered a trivial request. Recovering

quickly, she defended her position, "I never intended to use my influence to intimidate anyone. | am simply here

to inform you that there is something questionable about Scarlett's character. This is merely a warning. As for

your so-called fair judge, make sure she is thoroughly scrutinized in the next round. We can't afford to let her slip

through the cracks and manipulate my godson!" The Quirks were aware of Linda's godson, but they weren't

particularly interested in her personal affairs, which were widely considered a joke within their circles.

A significant part of Linda's divorce was rumored to be due to her inordinate affection for her godson.

Linda had a daughter with her ex-husband, but as tpassed, it becpainfully evident that Linda showed

little affection towards her. Instead, she lavished her attention and care on her godson, treating him as if he were

her own flesh and blood. It was clear that they had no any blood relationship, or her behavior would raise doubts.

However, precisely because there was no doubt that her godson was not her biological son, her unfair treatment

is truly disheartening.

After Linda was oblivious to the damage her neglect had caused her daughter again and again and her daughter

was even now suffering from severe psychological issues, her ex-husband's family chose to demand a divorce.

They believed that even a stepmother devoid of emotional connections would provide better care than Linda.

Following the divorce, custody of the daughter went to her father, effectively cutting off almost all

communication between Linda and her child. It wasn't that the father's side was harsh; rather, Linda showed no

interest in reconnecting with her daughter.

When questioned about her apparent disinterest, Linda's explanation was bizarre. She claimed to have dreamt

that her daughter was a nemesis from a past life, destined to cause her ruin. Such an odd perspective might

have been dismissed as absurd by some, but among the affluent, sometimes unusual beliefs took hold.

Now, Linda was seeking help from Selena-a woman she wasn't particularly fond of all for the sake of her godson.

It seemed clear that her godson held a more significant place in her heart than her biological daughter.

The Quirk family was intrigued by this dynamic. How had Linda cto adopt Javier as her godson?

Isabella was particularly curious and began to pay closer attention.

Meanwhile, Linda was actively proposing various strategies, advocating for aggressive actions against Scarlett as

though she were Javier's actual mother-a classic case of a disapproving mother-in-law meddling in her son's

romantic choices.

As Isabella listened, she mused inwardly, th, so that's how it was. Linda is one of the admirers of Javier's father,

Mr. Randall Goodman.

The Quirk family was familiar with the gossip, and they instantly understood what was going on. They thought, Is

this a case of loving somebody and everything else related to them?

Linda had chased Mr. Randall with her wealth, but he had steadfastly rejected her. His longstanding relationship

with Mdm. Pearson, coupled with their military connections, mear Linda could not pursue him aggressively

without repercussions. Heartbroken by Mr. Randall's death, Linda had insisted on helping Mdm. Pearson care for

Javier, eventually taking him as her godson and loving him as her own.

Chapter 151 Choosing Her Godson Over Her Own Daughter

This revelation left the Quirks speechless..

Nevertheless, Isabella continued on.

Linda's visit was likely motivated by spite. No wonder it seemed so abrupt.

The mention of a bet piqued their interest further.

I'm not one to gossip, but it seems Mdm. Pearson, after spending twith Scarlett, found her to be quite

acceptable. Yet here is Linda, making objections. Javier wants to reconcile, and Linda is so opposed she cto

us hoping we'd intervene. But there's no need- Scarlett doesn't want to return to that situation.

The Quirks were surprised. They had expected Freya to be a harsh mother-in-law, yet she seemed pleased after

meeting Scarlett, contradicting the harsh persona often portrayed online. Unfortunately, Freya was unaware of

her son's true nature, while Scarlett was all too aware, making any of Linda's satisfaction moot.

Linda, acting more like a doting parent than a godmother, seemed intent on controlling not just her godson's life

but also his relationships.

But what exactly happened to Javier? Both Linda and Freya don't seem to know what happened to him, so what

did Scarlett find out that prompted her to break up with him?

As Linda wrapped up her lengthy exposition, she noticed the distracted looks around her and lost her temper.

"Were any of you actually listening to what | was saying!" she snapped.

The Quirks politely assured her of their attention, though it was clear that if not for the upcoming between

Isabella and Christopher, they would have little interest in entertaining such discussions.

Linda's frustration was evident as she contemplated the lengths she had gone to for her son. If not for him, she

would never have endured the ordeal of this visit.

In the past, Freya had been her ally in warding off undesirable partners for Javier. Why hadn't she realized sooner

that something was amiss with Scarlett? Had it not been for her promise to Javier to keep the matter secret, she

would have taken legal action against Scarlett from the start.
