was even more unexpected was the anitude of the Woods family.
What was even
Solana remembered that Darell was always so particular about nunners and upbringing. She couldn’t understand how he could allow Nina, who had just returned, to behave like this in the house, acting as though she had no boundaries.
Solna felt that Nina’s brothers were being ungratef
They knew full well that Nina was the reason then mother had died during childbirth, yet now, one by one, they seemed hypnotized by her. agreeing with everything she said. It was utterly absund
This family had already been thrown into chaos by Nina’s presence, and Solana had come here to put a stop to it, to curb this bad influence and put Nina in her place. Otherwise, she teared Nina would soon no longer be taken seriously in the Woods family.
Solana asked. “Darell, are you just going to stand by and watch this?”
Solana knew it was pointless to argue with Henry, the younger generation, so her gaze turned to Darell, the head of the family. She hoped he would take charge and discipline the out–of–control Nina.
But this time, Solana miscalculated.
From the moment she referred to Nina as a “bad omen,” Darell’s mood soured. Later, when Nina came downstairs, Solana immediately launched into a tirade, unloadme all her anger on the child. Nina didn’t strike her right then and there only out of respect for her status as an elder. What more did solana want!
After spending time with Nina. Darell had come to accept that Nina was headstrong and unapologetic–the would argue with anyone, about anything. Many in the house had already felt her wrath. If you didn’t provoke her, everything was fine. But if you did… well, whether you got yelled at or even slapped, it was your own fault.
Darell didn’t see anything wrong with Nina. On the contrary, Solana had shown up unannounced, clearly with the intention of picking a fight with Nina. As a father, Darell couldn’t just stand by and let someone attack his child
So, instead of siding with Solana and reprimanding his children, Darell tumed to her and said, “Mom, Nina’s been wild outside for a long time, and that’s just her temperament. If you can’t stand it, don’t provoke her.
se won’t bother you unless you start something. And as for Henry, he’s right. Nina’s friends are still here, so your remarks aren’t really appropriate
“What did you say?” Solana’s eyes widened in disbelief
Even Darell, who had always been so polite and respectful to her, dared to speak to her this way now.
Furious, she snapped. “Ridiculous. Nina’s been wild outside, and now you’re letting her behave this way in your own house? If she doesn’t listen, then just beat her. I don’t believe this bad influence can’t be corrected.”
Ar these words. Greg who had been hit the most by Nina, couldn’t stay silent.
With a cold smile, he mocked Solana, “Grandma, do you think beating her will make Nina obedient! Let me be clear–Nina’s a real fighter. If she’s pushed too far, it might be her who heats someone, not the other way around.”
He, of all people, had experienced hier strength firsthand.
“A good lighter, hub Solana shot Nina a glare and snapped, “If she’s so uncontrollable, then she can get out. The Woods family doesn’t have room for her
When Nina beard this, herepes lit up. She smiled and said, “Well, that’s fine. But remember, it’s you who’s kicking me out, not the other way
She figured no one could stop her now, not even the high–ranking people in the household.
Darell and his sons exclunged glances. Nina’s sudden enthusiasm seemed to be a bit too much, and their expressions darkened, changing once

again.
Henry quickly stepped in, saying, “What are you talking about? This is your home. If anyone should leave, it’s someone else. Don’t start causing trouble.”
Nina pointed at Solana and said, “Isn’t she the head of the family! If she tells me to leave, I guess I have to go.”
“She’s the head of the family? Funny, Henry Laughed bitterly.
If it weren’t for the fact that Solana was his mother’s mother, Henry wouldn’t have bothered with her at all.
Darell, too, cast a stern glance at Nina and said in a low voice. Tm not dead yet.”
In other words, no one could make decisions in his house except for him.
In the past, he had humored Solana because she was his wife’s mother, and he felt guilty about his wife’s death. But now, Solana had come to his house and was stirring up trouble, openly telling Nina to leave in front of him.
If Darell didn’t take a stand now, he would have failed as the head of the family.
“Solana” Darell said, his face as hard as iron, his aura filled with authority. The matters of the Woods family are none of your business. You’re a guest here, so let’s all get along and enjoy each other’s company. If you insist on finding fault with the younger generation, then I’ll have to ask you to leave. Come back when you’ve calmed down.”
“Darell, are you asking me to leave?” Solana was stunned
Darell’s face darkened: “If that’s how you want to understand it, that’s your prerogative.
“Darell!” Solana had never seen him like this before. For over twenty years, he had always been polite and respectful to her, but now, he had completely changed.
Now, she finally understood why Rachel said she couldn’t survive in the Woods family. The whole family had been completely brainwashed by Nina, It was a miracle that anyone could stick around in this place.
Solana leaned on the railing, looking like she might faint from anger, and with a sorrowful, disappointed expression, she looked at Darell and said, “How did you become like this? If Emily knew how you treated her mother, she would be so disappointed”
Darell remained unmoved and countered, “Nina is the child Emily risked her life to have. If she saw how you treated her daughter, even kicking her out of her own home, wouldn’t she be even more disappointed in Rachel
