Chapter 516
The Frazier family, with its wealth and prestige, was governed by ironclad
rules.
Debra knew her father was a man of principle, unyielding even for his brother. Ralph’s gambling was more than a personal failing. It was a rot that could harm the entire family. And it did.
Ralph’s face contorted with anger, his silence a damning confession.
Debra pressed on. “I’m asking you one last time. Did you kill my father?”
Ralph lost his nerves and shouted, “Yes, I did it. He was so stubborn. He found out about my gambling and decided to cast me out. I’m his brother. I just needed to borrow money, but he scolded me and threw me out. That’s my family too. Why was he so harsh to me?”
“You were gambling, and my father kicked you out according to family rules. He did nothing wrong. Look at what you’ve done to the Frazier family. And you killed my father for that?”
Hearing the truth from Ralph’s mouth was a bitter pill to swallow. For years, he had been a second father to her. Betrayal stung like a venomous barb, twisting in her heart.
Ralph looked away, the rims of his eyes turning red. His brother and he grew up together, but when pushed to the edge, people would lose their reason.
He gritted his teeth. “I was beaten by my creditors for three days and nights. When I came home, your father forced me to explain. I wouldn’t say anything, but he guessed. I owed 30 million dollars, and I couldn’t pay it back. When he wanted to kick me out, he cut off my lifeline. How could I just accept it?”
Debra’s voice shook with emotion. “But that doesn’t mean you should have killed my parents. Do you know this is a crime? Did my father ever fail you? He gave you money, a job, and freedom. Why did you throw it all away on gambling?”
