The moment those words came out, everyone fell silent.
…Granddaughter? Grandmother?
For real?
A lot of people who'd wanted to step in earlier now quietly backed off.
That old lady looks a little off her rocker — who wants to get involved? And if Selina really is her granddaughter, well, then they're family — and maybe not the kind you want to be tangled up with.
Ava wiped her tears. "Sister Selina, Grandma's old and she's your elder. Just give her the seat, okay? In Country M, filial piety is the highest virtue. You're doing this… come on, tell me I'm right, won't you?"
Ava's very active in City N — she's got ten million followers on Twitter and is a well-known "painter" who often holds exhibitions. Lots of celebrities and influencers try to cozy up to her because being associated with Ava means being associated with the Hill Family.
