arrogant, but I believe Nicole can handle whatever comes her way.
The Woods family is nothing compared to our Riddle family when it comes to standing our ground.”
Nicole’s eyes gleamed with pride at her grandfather’s support, and the tension in the room began to ease.
Norah clenched her fists in frustration, her plan to undermine Nicole’s position falling apart before her eyes.
Karen, who had been so eager to see Nicole in trouble, was now speechless.
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Nicole said, her tone calm and grateful.
“I won’t let you down.”
Mr.
Riddle Sr.
nodded with a proud smile.
“You’ve got spirit, Nicole.
That’s what matters.”
Dillon and Karen exchanged a look of defeat, knowing that no matter how much they tried to spin the situation, Nicole had the upper hand.
Their influence had been undermined by her boldness, and they couldn’t hide their growing resentment.
“Nicole is right,” Daniel added, his voice firm.
“The Riddle family isn’t one to be easily intimidated, and we won’t tolerate anyone bullying our own.”
Karen bit her lip but didn’t speak, realizing that continuing her opposition would only make things worse.
Norah, on the other hand, tried one last time to salvage her position.
“But what about the school? What if they really expel her? What if this brings trouble to all of us?”
Nicole turned to her sister, her gaze icy.
“If they try, they’ll regret it.
But trust me, they won’t.
The Woods family may be powerful, but they’re not invincible.”
Mr.
Riddle Sr.
chuckled lightly.
“That’s the spirit, Nicole.
Stand tall.”
Norah’s face flushed with anger, but she didn’t dare to challenge Nicole anymore.
The dynamic in the room had shifted completely, and Nicole had proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with.
For the first time, Karen and Dillon seemed to realize that their attempts to control the situation weren’t going to work in their favor.
Their worried glances toward each other were met with a final, firm statement from Mr.
Riddle Sr.
“We’ll deal with this as a family.
The Woods family will know their place, and Nicole will continue to thrive.”
The conversation ended there, with the weight of Mr.
Riddle Sr.’s authority silencing any further objections.
Norah, Snow, and Raine could only exchange frustrated glances, but they knew they had lost this round.
Nicole had won, and it seemed that the battle against the Woods family was just beginning.
