Chapter 267
Joe couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. It seemed as though the Nichols Group had become the target of all. In just a month, they had lost several major projects and hemorrhaged a significant amount of money. Any other company would have crumbled under the pressure.
"Just do as I say," Juan instructed. "Don't worry about the rest."
"Understood."
The news of the Fraziers causing a late-night disturbance at the Nichols 'spread like wildfire, fanned by paparazzi eager to capitalize on the drama.
When Debra saw the headlines in her office, her brow furrowed in
concern. She hadn't anticipated Ralph falling out with the Nichols family! so swiftly.
Ralph had always been a cautious man, not one to act rashly without good reason.
"Madam, you wanted to see me?" Ben entered the office, awaiting Debra's instructions.
Debra looked up from her desk. "I need to expedite the acquisition of the Frazier Group. Have the finance department draft an acquisition agreement and bring it to me." Ben blinked in surprise. "Now?"
He struggled to understand why Debra was rushing to finalize the acquisition.
Is there a problem?"
"Madam, a move as significant as this will undoubtedly attract a lot of
attention. Are you sure about this?
That's fine. Just do as I say. All decision-making power for the Frazier family is now in my hands."
Ralph had transferred alll the Frazier family's assets to her. She only needed to sign the acquisition agreement, and it would be legally binding immediately.

You need to think about the company." Ralph's face darkened at her words. "What body? What demise? Don't talk nonsense here."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Rosalie, undeterred, continued to press her point. "It's not normal for a person to be missing for four days without a trace. She might have been eaten by fish. She can't still be alive. I'm only saying this for you, for the Frazier family's sake. You can't just watch the Frazier family stay in this state forever."
Recently, Ralph had handed over all their assets to Debra. Initially, the staff had been resistant, but Debra's efficient management and the substantial profits she brought in had silenced their complaints.
Now, with Debra missing, the company was effectively paralyzed. If Ralph didn't step up, not only would he be unable to stand against Juan, but the Frazier family's financial chain would soon face serious

problems.
Ralph fell silent, the weight of Rosalie's words pressing down on him. Just then, the doorbell rang, echoing through the tense atmosphere of the house.
Ralph went to answer the door and found Ben and a lawyer standing outside.
"Hello, Mr. Frazier. I'm Ben from McKinney Group, and this is our lawyer,

"Lawyer?" Ralph was confused. "I don't think we've ever offended the McKinney Group. What's this about?"
