Chapter 134
Rosalie could only hold Stanley and sob.
Marion looked on indifferently.
With so many people still there, Ralph turned to Marion and said, “Mr. Huston, I understand your intentions, but this is a family matter. Could
you…”
Marion stood up. He hadn’t intended to trouble Debra’s family, only to ensure Ralph found out the truth.
“Well then, I’ll leave it to you to handle,” Marion said casually. “But if you can’t do it, I wouldn’t mind taking matters into my own hands.”
Ralph’s face turned pale as he understood what Marion meant.
“I understand. I will make things right for Debra,” Ralph promised.
Marion gestured, and his bodyguards dispersed.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes, sir!”
They quickly left the villa.
Stanley stood up defiantly, pointing at the now–vanished figures. “Who were those people? Why would we believe anything they say, Dad?”
“Shut up!” Ralph slapped him again, leaving him incredulous.
Rosalie quickly stepped in. “Ralph, why are you hitting him after everyone has left?”
“Shut your mouth!” Ralph roared. “Marion came personally. Not throwing you in jail is already a huge favor to us.”
Stanley turned pale at the mention of Marion.

Ralph added, “Starting today, you’re grounded. I’m canceling all your cards. Tonight, I’ll take you to apologize to Debra.”
“Why should I apologize to her?” Stanley exploded. “Debra was raised in our family. Why should I apologize to her?”
Ralph was furious at Stanley’s outburst. “You! Go to the hospital with me, now!”
Ralph dragged Stanley outside, ignoring his struggles.
“What are you doing? Let him go!” Rosalie tried to intervene, but was pushed away.
Stanley tried to seek help from Rosalie, but Ralph ordered, “Security! Hold him down and get the driver. We’re going to the hospital.”
