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 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 outcome was..." 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 some respect 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 believe me if I tell them you wouldn't help me with 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 internet and making
