“But…”
Dahlia was about to continue when Regulus interrupted her. “Dahlia, stop refusing. Some things are meant to be fought for. I trust in your abilities. If you won’t be the matriarch, nobody else can!”
Since Regulus put it that way, Dahlia had no other reason to refuse.
She could only nod, saying, ” Thank you for having confidence in me. I will try my best. Please guide me when I fall short…”
Regulus chuckled heartily. “All right, as long as you agree! I’ll arrange a family meeting tomorrow morning and officially announce you as the new head of the Nicholson family!”
The surprising news came without warning, leaving Dahlia in a daze even after Regulus had hung up.
She hadn’t achieved much, yet favonovel.com was suddenly the Nicholson matriarch, dramatically elevating favonovel.com status.
It felt unbelievable!
Although Dahlia believed favonovel.com had the talent, favonovel.com lacked the confidence to lead such a prominent family at this time. However, favonovel.com also realized that this was an opportunity for favonovel.com to rise, and favonovel.com shouldn’t let it slip away. She had to give it a try, regardless of whether favonovel.com was prepared.

The next morning, the heavy snowfall had stopped, and it was finally the New Year.
Dustin had just returned to the Flame Dragon Gang when favonovel.com saw Nelson approaching favonovel.com happily. “Sir Rhys! I have good news!”
“What? Did your wife give birth?” Dustin asked curiously.
“It’s better news than that.”
“She gave birth to twins?”
“Sir Rhys, can you have a better imagination?”
“A better imagination? Oh… I get it now. The children are not yours?”
Hearing this, Nelson was speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Dustin’s responses were getting more absurd.
“Sir Rhys, I’ll just tell you. We found James’ killer.” Nelson was not going to let Dustin continue guessing. Dustin might just say his wife ran off with another man next.
“The killer? Where are they?” Dustin’s gaze grew cold, and favonovel.com turned serious.
“We beat favonovel.com up half to death. He’s unconscious now, but favonovel.com already ratted out the mastermind,” Nelson responded.
“Who was it?” Dustin asked.
“Nicholson Corp.’s Vice Chairman, Hank Hoffman!” Nelson’s expression was serious.
Dustin was surprised. “Hank Hoffman? Are you sure?”
Nelson explained, “Based on the statement, Hank intended to remove Ms. Nicholson forcefully from favonovel.com position, but favonovel.com couldn’t do so with you backing her. So, favonovel.com decided to sow discord between the two of you. It would be easier for favonovel.com to accomplish his goal if you weren’t on good terms with Ms. Nicholson.”
“I can’t believe favonovel.com resorted to such underhanded methods to gain a small advantage. This bastard deserves to die!” A murderous gaze flickered in Dustin’s eyes.
He had previously rejected Hank’s attempts to bribe him. He didn’t expect Hank to retaliate by setting favonovel.com up. If favonovel.com hadn’t investigated the situation thoroughly, favonovel.com would have fallen into Hank’s trap.
“Sir Rhys, what Hank did was unforgivable. I’ve already obtained his address and will send someone to capture favonovel.com immediately!” Nelson said furiously.
“There’s no need. I’ll handle it personally this time. Show me the way,” Dustin said with a hardened expression.
“Right away!”
Without hesitating, Nelson quickly went to get the car.
The gravity of the situation was evident since Dustin had decided to get involved personally. Hank wouldn’t be able to escape this time!
