It was Michelle Howell, Douglas' Wife. She was sitting beside her husband, and although it looked as though she was eating, she was busy studying Nicklaus and Tiana.
When she saw them in the living room, she was shocked; she knew that Nicklaus had issues with commands, and he barely listened to suggestions, so she was expecting him to disobey grandpa's command, but on the contrary, he had obeyed him dutifully.
As soon as she saw them, she knew that they weren't together; she knew that Grandpa knew it too, but he just wanted to support him. He was always on his side from the beginning!
Her heart squeezed as she thought about how much her husband had worked to get Howells Corporation to where it was now. And Nicklaus just came out of the blues and demanded to take it back? After twelve whole years! Grandpa just used her husband as a pawn, a pawn to build his first son's company!
