Chapter 53

Rosalie was unhappy about the revelation, but she didn't think Debra would reject Ralph's request. It was a substantial piece of land—60,000 square meters. She didn't want Debra to profit from it.

Debra feigned surprise. “Green zone? Why wasn’t I informed?”

“Because you’ve never been involved in these matters, Ralph is looking out for your best interests. This large piece of land will make us rich,” Rosalie said, her eyes sparkling. Anyone with common sense knew the land's value once the municipal documents were processed.

Debra sighed. “Ralph, why didn’t you tell me earlier? It’s too late now.”

“What do you mean?” Rosalie tensed.

Ralph stammered, “You wouldn’t have…”

“I sold it three hours ago.”

“What?” Rosalie exclaimed.

“In fact, I bought it on a whim. Later, I regretted it because it turned out to be in a sewage area. It was a hot potato I was trying to sell, but there were no buyers until Marion found me today. He wanted it, and afraid he’d change his mind, I signed the contract with him on the spot. I got the money, and he got the land,” Debra said sanctimoniously.

Rosalie tugged at Ralph's clothes. “What should we do?” How could they give up such a valuable asset?

“Can we get it back?” Ralph asked tentatively.

Debra shook her head. “It’s definitely gone.”

Rosalie hurriedly suggested, “Why don’t you talk to Marion again? Can’t we try to negotiate with him?”

Debra sneered inwardly but managed a serious tone. “Losing the land doesn’t matter to me. If you want it so badly, why not send Ralph to negotiate with him? See if he’ll return it.”

Rosalie’s confidence faltered.

Ralph chimed in, “Marion is ruthless. I can’t compete with him for the land.”

Debra knew Ralph’s personality well. He would never negotiate with someone as ruthless as Marion.

Rosalie was frustrated and glared at Ralph. Debra tried to comfort them, saying, “Rosalie, don’t worry. It’s just a piece of land. How valuable can it be? The Frazier Group is big enough for us. Do we really need to fight over that land?”

“Yeah, I didn’t think it was necessary anyway,” Ralph echoed.

Before he could sit down, Rosalie stormed out angrily.

Debra sipped her tea calmly. ‘Want a piece of my cake? Fat chance!’

Soon after, Debra left the Frazier family’s house. She was surprised to find Marion’s car was still there. She knocked on the car window. “What’s going on?”

“Randy said we should celebrate today.”

“I didn’t say that. He wanted it,” Randy denied.

Debra pondered for a moment. “Maybe we should celebrate.”
