The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 891

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.

The competition 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 a comeback.

“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 collar, 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 glasses from the elite members of the business world.

With effortless poise and grace, Geraldine engaged with each guest.
