Chapter 891 Attending The Banquet
Donald always thought that Geraldine had a thick skin, but he never imagined she''d be so
shameless around him.
Pouting, Geraldine said, “Come on, I was just joking. Why so serious?”

“I''ve taken care of the people who were against you. Now it''s your call on what to do with the Harper
family''s wealth. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be taking my leave,” Donald replied.
“No, wait.” Geraldine pulled Donald aside and whispered, “My parents now think you''re my
boyfriend. They want to invite their friends in New Littbourg''s business circle for dinner tonight to
meet you. It''ll be so awkward for me if you leave.”
Donald freed himself from her grasp. “Let''s get one thing straight. I''m here to help with your family
matters, not to act as your long-term boyfriend. Your awkwardness is not my concern.”
“Don''t say that, Donald. As someone who used to oversee Dragon Fide Corporation, you should
understand the importance of having friends in the corporate world.”
Donald immediately caught on to the message she was trying to convey.
Thepetition between businesses was different from the conflicts between family members; it
wasn''t a simple battle of survival of the fittest.
Take Donald and his conflict with the Ten Prestigious Families, for example. They were always at
each other''s throats, wishing the worst for one another.
However, no one could survive without the support of others, as their businesses were deeply
intertwined in the city of Pollerton.
Now that Donald had chased the Harper family away using ruthless methods, everyone''s focus
would be on him instead of Geraldine.
If he was willing to stand by Geraldine''s side during these critical times, her future would be smooth
sailing.
Having someone as powerful as Donald as her boyfriend meant that no one would dare to mess
with her again.
However, if Donald were to disappear after that night, Geraldine''s fearsome reputation might
diminish, and the public might no longer be intimidated by her.
She might have to turn to him again if those from the Harper family made aeback.
Realizing this, Donald came to a decision. “All right then, I''ll help you out onest time. I''ll return
after the banquet tonight.”
“You''re the best, Donald!” Geraldine tried to nt a kiss on his face, but he pushed her away before
she could do so.
That night at eight, aboard a luxurious yacht on the Southern River, the Harper family prepared a
sumptuous meal as per Geraldine''s request to wee the businessmen from New Littbourg on
board.
Geraldine, dressed in a stunning evening gown, assisted Donald in tying his necktie.
“Are all Harper family banquets this extravagant?”
Donald had assumed they would have a simple dinner party at a hotel. Little did he know that
Geraldine had gone above and beyond by organizing avish yacht event.
Geraldine harrumphed, “I don''t care how the Harper family used to do things. Now that I have taken
over, we need a fresh approach. The invitation cards I sent out to my guests were stamped with
gold foil.”
Donald rolled his eyes, thinking she was too extravagant.
“Ms. Harper, all the guests have arrived. We can start the banquet anytime now.”
“All right, I''ll be right over,” Geraldine replied.
After straightening Donald''s cor, she expressed her satisfaction. “Not bad. You can look good
when you dress up. Let''s go and make an appearance.”
Geraldine linked arms with Donald as they gracefully made their way toward the banquet hall.
Meanwhile, the yacht set sail, gliding toward the open seas.
As Donald and Geraldine elegantly weaved their way through the crowd under the radiant limelight,
they were greeted with raised sses from the elite members of the business world.
With effortless poise and grace, Geraldine engaged with each guest.
