There are a few possibilities.

She decided to concede.
She decided to give in.
She decided to cave in.
She decided to give up.
She decided to shut up.
She decided to clam up.
She decided to kill him (!)

Thanks, I think "concede" and "cave in" can be the words that I am looking for them.
But I really liked the last alternative. :-D

I'm fond of capitulate.

She could also stand down, or even acquiesce.

Then there's coalesce or compromise, depending on the context. And depending on her resiliency, she could also bide her time.
