Chapter 356 +25 BONUS You tell me, Uncle Ralph," Debra sald, gesturing to the documents laid out on the table.
Ralph reached for the papers with a trembling hand, his eyes scanning the first page. Soon enough, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
Debra watched him, her expression impassive, as she suppressed the surge of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. "You're my uncle, and I never imagined it was you." Ralph looked up at her, his aged face streaked with tears and cold sweat. "I had no choice. If I can't repay that money, they'll break my arms and legs, and I'll be dead." "So, you setup?" Debra laughed coldly. "You should know, with charges like embezzlement and bribery, I'd spend the rest of my life in prison. But you still did this." Ralph's breath hitched, his words tumbling out in a rush. "I never wanted to harm you, but you were restless, insisting on divorcing Juan and running the Frazier family." He paused and added, "You don't know what my life was like. It was only after you married Juan that those people stopped bothering me. But now, you're about to fall out with Juan, and they are coming afteragain. I was afraid the embezzlement would be exposed." "You were afraid of going to jail because of it, weren't you? Debra snorted. "You messed up and wantedto take the blame. I never truly saw you for who you were." Ralph still tried to defend himself. "Debra, I raised you. How could I harm you? I knew both Marion and Juan cared about you. They'd find a way to save you, so I..." Debra's voice turned sharp. "Marion is abroad, and Juan is with Shelia. You reportedat such a tbecause you wanted to sendto jail while they were not around, right?" Ralph's shoulders slumped, his desperate pleas falling silent as he realized he couldn't deceive her any longer. Debra's voice was cool and measured as she continued, "You not only wantto take the fall but also want the Frazier Group. Am I right?" If she went to jail, Ralph could rightfully take over the Frazier family and the company. Once he was in charge, he could explain away any discrepancies. It was a clever plan, but Debra saw right through it.
Ralph took a deep breath and made Ο one last attempt to bargain. "Debra, I raised you, and you owethe Gom favor. If you helpsettle this and giveten billion dollars, I promise I'll never gamble again. Also, I'll step down and transfer all my shares to you." Debra's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Ten billion? You have the nerve to ask."
The stake Ralph had in the company wasn't even worth five billion. Yet he wanted her to cover his debt and give him ten billion. That was nothing but a fool's talk.
