Defended loudly!

What a change that was. Very fast.

 "If you want to insult others, it is better if you look in the mirror first. My parents, can never be compared to a person who is narrow in heart and whose mind is not open! I will study all the insults, but not when my ears hear the insults for both of my parents! I will not hesitate to make that person mute! No longer silent, but mute!" Celine said.

 "Y-you? How dare you talk to me in such a tone? And what did you just say? Are you comparing me to your parents? You just said my mind wasn't open?"

 Slowly Linda's fear was replaced with a mounting anger. Or maybe being angry was Linda's way of protecting herself from hurt feelings. Can be. Many people did, right?

 Besides, she was really emotional hearing it all. What humiliation did she just hear? Unfortunately again, it was all being told for her. Presumptuous!
