“You brat, shut your mouth!” Ralph snapped, glaring at him.
Stanley wisely stayed silent, knowing better than to provoke his father further.
Debra had hoped that Stanley might have matured during his time in prison, but it seemed he was still the same immature and resentful person he had always been.
Ralph turned his attention back to Debra. “I’ve decided to hand over the other companies to you. It’s a good opportunity for you to gain some experience.”
Rosalie, returning from the kitchen with dishes, overheard the
conversation. Her expression shifted slightly, a hint of displeasure crossing her face.
“Honey, what are you talking about? How can the family’s companies be handed over to an out…”
Before she could finish, she realized her mistake.
Compared to Debra, they were the real outsiders. Originally, those
companies were founded by Debra’s father.
Debra raised an eyebrow. “Rosalie, after all this time, I didn’t expect your to be the same as before.”
“I…” Rosalie faltered, knowing she was in the wrong.
Debra expected her to make a scene, but instead, she set the dishes on the table and managed a smile. “I’m sorry for what happened before, but let’s have a cheerful family banquet today.”
Debra frowned at the change in her attitude. Later, the family members arrived one after another, and even some of the Copeland family came.

“Erick, come here,” Rosalie called out.
A middle–aged man in his forties, who looked rather sleazy, walked over. Debra remembered him as Rosalie’s younger brother, three or four years her junior.
Currently, Erick Copeland was the nominal chairman of the Copeland
Group, infamous in the industry. Few were willing to cooperate with him, and if it weren’t for the Frazier family’s support, they might have gone bankrupt long ago.
