Chapter 184
“Honey, trust me. I have nothing to do with this!” No matter how Rosalie tried to defend herself, this time Ralph showed no mercy. He raised his hand and slapped Rosalie hard across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. Her face turned pale.
“Y-You just hit me?” After so many years of marriage, Ralph had always been obedient to her. Even though they argued sometimes, Ralph had never laid a hand on her before! But for Debra, Ralph had argued with her several times and now resorted to violence.
“You’re engaged in such disgraceful behavior and caused harm and trouble. What do you expect from me? Rosalie, I’ve truly misjudged you! Debra’s a member of our family. Your usual unkind behavior is one thing, and plotting against her is totally another!” Ralph pointed at Stanley beside him. “Look at what influence you’ve had on our child! It’s an attempted murder! I shouldn’t have married you!”
Rosalie realized that this time Ralph was truly angry. Debra had always been a sore point with Ralph.
“Fine! I’m wrong about this. If you have the guts, then divorce me!”
Rosalie suddenly stood up boldly, with Debra watching coldly from the side. That had always been Rosalie’s trump card. Whenever there was a major argument, she would use that line. And each time, Ralph couldn’t bear to divorce her, eventually giving in. However, that might not work anymore.

Indeed, this time Ralph didn’t yield as Rosalie expected, but instead said, “Fine! Let’s get a divorce!” Rosalie looked incredulous, and even Stanley was stunned.
“Dad! Mom’s your wife! How can you just divorce her for an outsider?”
Rosalie cried out in disbelief, “I bore you a son, and this is how you treat me! Ralph, you have no conscience!”
Though Ralph appeared conflicted, he ultimately made the difficult decision and turned to Debra. “Debra, I apologize for this. It’s all because of me that you were almost ruined. I’ll leave them to you. Whether you want to involve the police or handle it privately, just do it!”
However, Debra knew that Ralph still cared for Rosalie. She glanced lightly at Rosalie, who was crying on the ground, and said, “Since you leave them to me, I’ll punish them as I want.” Ralph remained silent.
“Aunt Rosalie, you’ve been working so hard all this time just to ensure that the Frazier family’s wealth ends up in the hands of the Copeland family, right?”
Debra stepped forward and said, “If you don’t want to go to the police station, agree to a condition from me. I’ll turn a blind eye to this.”
“W-What condition?” Rosalie watched Debra warily. She didn’t believe that Debra was being kind.
Debra continued, “Previously, when I mentioned taking over the company, you secretly obstructed me, making the other branches of the Frazier family disagree with me taking over. I believe you also influenced Uncle Ralph at that time, didn’t you?”

At this point, Rosalie’s face betrayed a hint of guilt.
Debra added, “I can overlook that. But if you don’t want to face prison, then I want both of you to lose your inheritance rights. Moreover, if anything happens to Uncle Ralph in the future, neither of you will receive any share of the property.”
