From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

“Debra, don’t talk like that. I am your only family left in this world. If you agree with my request, I’ll treat you well just like before,” Ralph said,

Debra snorted, “I used to think Rosalie had thick skin, but I didn’t realize you were the same.”

Whether in her past life or this one, she had been blind to Ralph’s true nature. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She stood up, her chair scraping loudly against the floor. Ralph suddenly lunged forward with a raised ashtray in his hand.

But before he could bring it down, several black–clad bodyguards burst into the room. Debra’s eyes darkened as she looked back at Ralph, whose face contorted with rage and desperation. It was a mirror image of Stanley’s twisted expression from before.

She had once believed that Stanley had been corrupted by Rosalie, but it seemed they were all birds of a feather.

“Are you planning to kidnap me and extort Marion?”

The bodyguards watched from the doorway, ready to intervene at the slightest sign of trouble. Ralph knew he had lost, dropping the ashtray.

“Are you really not going to help me?”

“You have to face the consequences of your mistakes,

Debra looked at him, the last remnants of family affection fading from her eyes.

Ralph’s expression hardened, and he spat out, “Debra. I’m your uncle. If I go to jail, you’ll have no family left. Why do I have such a heartless niece like you? Stanley should have killed you back then.”

Debra turned away, feeling nothing about his curses. Her heart was already numb.

Erica and Ben rushed up, and she finally managed a smile.

“What are you doing here?”

“We came as soon as we received information.”

“Information?”

*Mr. Andrew Potter contacted us and asked us to pick you up.”

Andrew?”

Debra was surprised that Andrew would go out of his way to help her like this. She made a mental note to thank him properly when she had the chance.

Erica explained, “I suspected something was off with Ralph, so I had Ben investigate. True to my suspicion, while you were being detained, the finance department caught fire. Luckily, we were keeping an eye on it, or the evidence might have been destroyed. We planned to report it this morning, but Mr. Andrew Potter beat us to it.”

Debra smiled bitterly. “Seems he intended to keep me in prison for life.”

Before yesterday, Ralph had been her only family in this world. But after today, she had no family left.

That afternoon, news of Ralph’s betrayal and false accusations against Debra spread like wildfire, igniting: a major family feud. Public sentiment shifted dramatically, with people expressing sympathy for Debra and condemning Ralph.

Debra sat alone in the empty house, watching the news, but she felt no joy.

Suddenly, the sound of furious pounding echoed through the house. The maid hurried to open the door before Rosalie and Stanley barged in.
