    After Linda had finished her speech, she paused, waiting expectantly for some kind of reaction from


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


    been absently twiddling with her ne, 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 inly 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? Thest


    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–inw, but the oue was…” His voice trailed off, prompting a round of subdued


    chuckles. from the others as they nced toward Isabe, 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 some respect to me, an elder?”


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


    Isabe 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 simr? Why should we show you respect?


    There was a palpable sense of disbelief at Isabe’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 escted as Linda’s irritation grew evident. “Selena, do you think your parents would


    believe me if I tell them you wouldn’t help me with even this small favor?” she threatened, clearly


    frustrated by theck of support.


    This usation seemed to shock the younger members of the Quirk family, who were


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


    Despite this, Selena remainedposed, replying, “Our family has never resorted to using our


    influence to bully others. Moreover, this involves the future reputation of Be in the entertainment


    industry. She is determined to be a fair and just figure within the industry, without favoritism.”


    Isabe felt an awkward tension surrounding her. Mdm. Selena’s clearly brainwashed by the


    inte and 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 drama.

    “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. I 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


    manipte my godson!”


    The Quirks were aware of Linda’s godson, but they weren’t particrly 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.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Linda had a daughter with her ex–husband, but as time passed, it became painfully evident that


    Linda showed little affection towards her. Instead, shevished 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


    rtionship, 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 exnation was bizarre. She imed 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 particrly fond of all for the sake


    of her godson. It seemed clear that her godson held a more significant ce in her heart than her


    biological daughter.


    The Quirk family was intrigued by this dynamic. How had Lindae to adopt Javier as her


    godson?


    Isabe was particrly 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 ssic case of a disapproving


    mother–inw meddling in her son’s romantic choices.


    As Isabe 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 rted to them?


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


    rtionship 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.

    This revtion left the Quirks speechless..


    Nevertheless, Isabe 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 time with Scarlett, found her to be


    quite eptable. Yet here is Linda, making objections. Javier wants to reconcile, and Linda is so


    opposed she came to 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–inw, 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 rtionships.


    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 I was saying!” she snapped.

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


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


    Linda’s frustration was evident as she contemted 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.
