CHAPTER 125
Rosalie’s smile vanished instantly. She stood up abruptly from her chair, her voice rising several octaves. “What? Divorce?”
“Why are you so surprised?” Debra said. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“How could you divorce? That’s Juan,” Rosalie said incredulously.
Debra used to be head over heels for Juan, going to great lengths to marry him.
It was hard to believe that she wanted to divorce Juan. They had been married only for a couple of months.
Ralph pondered for a moment and asked, “Is this Juan’s decision?”
“No, it’s mine.”
“Have you thought this through?”
Debra nodded firmly. “Yes, I have.”
Upon hearing Debra’s resolve, Ralph seemed equally determined. ” Alright then, let’s proceed with the divorce.”
“What? No!” Rosalie pushed Ralph aside and shouted at Debra, “You’re not taking marriage seriously at all. If you divorce Juan, what will become of our family? Do you want to let Ralph down?”
Debra looked on coldly. Ralph took a stand and pulled Rosalie aside.” Shut up! You have no say here.”
“Ralph! Do you have no conscience? Everything I do is for you and the Frazier family. If Debra divorces him, how can we survive?”
Debra remained silent.
Rosalie wasn’t entirely wrong. The prosperity of the Frazier family was

largely due to Juan
The alliance with the Nichols family had benefited them greatly.
Ralph argued, “I don’t believe we can’t thrive without him. Besides, even if we lose everything, the money we have could last you and your son for several lifetimes. Learn to be content!”
Rosalie was furious.
Stanley Frazier, who had been silent, stepped in to defend Rosalie Dad, mom has a point. Debra is the heiress to the Frazier family. We’ve raised her all these years. She should contribute to the family.
“Shut up!” Ralph yelled at him.
Despite his dissatisfaction, Stanley dared not defy his father.
Ralph turned to Debra and said solemnly, “Debra is the only child left by your eldest brother. I promised him to take good care of her. Let’s not discuss this anymore. Even without Juan, we can thrive.”
Debra knew Ralph cared for her. He had treated her like his own child.
“Uncle Ralph, trust me. I won’t let the Frazier family fall.” Debra finally
broke her silence.
Rosalie, now beside herself with anger, interjected, “Trust you? How can we trust you? Just because you’re studying at Arcane Academy, you think you can manage the family?”
“Yes, Mr. Frazier, you should think twice. If Ms. Frazier leaves Mr. Nichols, what will we do?”
“You can’t be so selfish, Ms. Frazier. If you divorce Mr. Nichols, we’ll all be left out in a cold.”
The voices of the extended Frazier family and executives echoed
around bum
Enough if anyone mentions this again, you’re out
Ralph’s roar silenced everyone instantly.

He was known for his kindness and approachability, but no one dared provoke him when he was angry
