Chapter 268

Ralph was puzzled by the unexpected arrival of a lawyer from the McKinney Group. If there was a serious issue, they should have contacted the Frazier Group directly instead of approaching him privately. He couldn't understand it until the lawyer produced a document and handed it to him. “May we come in and discuss this with you, Mr. Frazier?”

With the matter at hand, Ralph had little choice but to invite the two men inside. As he opened the document, his eyes widened at the bold words centered on the page: Acquisition Agreement. His expression shifted slightly as he scanned the contents, his eyes landing on Debra’s signature and the Frazier Group seal at the end. “What does this mean?” Rosalie interjected, her expression souring. She had never heard of this acquisition agreement.

The lawyer explained, “This is the agreement Ms. Frazier approved for the acquisition. It’s been undergoing legal procedures; we’re here to notify Mr. Frazier.”

Rosalie exclaimed angrily, “Nonsense. We never heard about any acquisition. Debra never informed us. This is invalid.” She had waited patiently for an opportunity to seize control of the Frazier family after Debra’s untimely death, but this agreement threatened to ruin all her carefully laid plans.

Ralph frowned as he scrutinized the contract. Ben shot a cold glance at Rosalie and explained, “Madam, Ms. Frazier held more than 50% of the shares and had full power over the Frazier Group’s decisions. This agreement has gone through legal processes, so your objections are void. Breaking the contract will require compensation.”

“You!” Rosalie’s face turned crimson, and she grabbed Ralph’s arm. “Honey, say something.”

“Enough,” Ralph said, shaking off her hand. He stood up and stated, “I trust Debra’s decision. You should proceed as planned.”

Rosalie felt as if all her strength had drained away. “Honey, do you know what you’re saying?”

The acquisition meant the Frazier Group would become part of the McKinney Group. Ignoring Rosalie’s pleas, Ralph handed the contract back to Ben. “Tell your boss that the Frazier family will raise no objections. He can rest assured.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Frazier.” Ben nodded and left with the lawyer.

Moments later, Debra received a call from Ben, informing her of the successful meeting. She couldn’t help but smile, a sense of relief washing over her. Ralph, who had handled such contracts for her father before, was meticulous with them. She knew he would see the wisdom in her decision.

The Frazier Group, once a towering tree in the business landscape, had been infested with pests over the years. A major overhaul was needed to preserve it and ensure its survival. This acquisition, with its guarantees for the Frazier Group, was sure to bring new life and prosperity.
