Ralph was puzzled by the unexpected arrival of awyer 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 make sense of it until thewyer pulled out a document and handed it to him. "May wee in and discuss this with you, Mr. Frazier?
With the matter at hand, Ralph had little choice but to invit he 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 eyesnding on Debra''s signature and the Frazier Group seal at the end. "What does this mean?" Rosalie chimed in, her expression souring. She had never heard of this acquisition agreement.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
Thewyer interjected, "This is the agreement Ms. Frazier approved for the acquisition. It''s been going through legal procedures these days. We''re here to notify Mr. Frazier."
Rosalie barked in anger, "Nonsense. We never heard about any acquisitions. 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 carefullyid ns.
Ralph frowned as he scrutinized the contract. Ben shot a cold nce at Rosalie and exined, "Madam, you see, Ms. Frazier held more than 50% of the shares and had full power over Frazier Group''s decisions. This agreement has gone through legal processes, so your objections are
void. Breaking the contract will requirepensation."
"You!" Rosalie''s face turned a deep shade of red, and she grabbed Ralph''s arm. "Honey, say something."
"Enough," Ralph said, shaking off her hand. He stood up and said, "I trust Debra''s decision. You should proceed as nned."
Rosalie felt as if all her strength were drained. "Honey, do you know what you''re saying?"
The acquisition meant the Frazier Group would be 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 led thewyer to leave.
Momentster, Debra received a call from Ben, informing her of the sessful meeting. She couldn''t help but smile, a sense of relief washing over her.
Ralph, who had handled these contracts for her father before, was meticulous with them. She knew he would see the wisdom in her decision.

This acquisition with its guarantees for the Frazier Group, was sure to bring new life and prosperity.
