Chapter 197 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Seeing this, Preston frowned slightly as he looked at Nicole with a trace of disapproval in his eyes. Yet, just as Dillon’s knees were about to hit the ground, Nicole suddenly stretched her leg out and kicked his kneecap. She had a good measure of her strength, ensuring that he would stand up straight and the kick would not hurt his knee. He raised his head and looked at Nicole in shock, but she had already walked back to her seat. She had only wanted to teach Dillon a lesson and did not plan to let him really kneel before her. She would only feel more disgusted if he really did that.
• Daniel and Gloria both sighed with relief, a hint of gladness appearing in their eyes. As expected from our daughter. She is both decisive and measured.’ One could consider Dillon's refusal to fully kneel down as a means of protecting his face. Sean, Steve, and the others also expressed a gentle sense of relief. Although they did not agree with Uncle Dillon’s behavior, he was still their elder, and it did not feel right for them to watch him kneel down like that. Nicole did not care what the others were thinking, as she picked her fork and knife up normally and gave Damien an inquiring look.
• Damien was temporarily taking over Mr. Riddle Sr.’s place as he lowered his head and said,” Let’s eat.” Damien, who had always been happy to be the presiding host, did not even mention what happened earlier at this moment. Dillon stood there as he gave Nicole a complicated look. There was hatred, confusion, and doubt, but there was not a single shred of gratitude. He slowly went back to his seat and said nothing as his knuckles turned white from exerting his strength. Snow and Raine sat by his side. After seeing that scene, none of them had any appetite to eat. Yet, without knowing what Mr. Riddle Sr. was thinking, they dared not leave just like that.
