Asher and the other members of the Harper family wanted nothing more than to skin Donald alive when they saw him making himself at home.
Having said that, they still perceived Geraldine as a thorn in their side.
“Grandpa, here is the transfer agreement for the position of Harper Group's chairman. Please sign it.” Geraldine handed over the document and continued, “And this is an agreement for the Harper residence and the change of ownership of other ancestral properties of the Harper family. Please sign this one too.”
As Geraldine presented one agreement after another for him to sign, Asher's expression grew increasingly grim. “Geraldine, have we, the Harper family, ever wronged you in any way? Why does it feel like you've been eagerly waiting for this day?”
Geraldine chuckled lightly in response and retorted, “Do you honestly not remember all the wrongs you've done? It's quite astonishing! All these years, I kept silent when you favored your elder sons. I even endured being treated like a mere housekeeper by you. And let's not forget your plan to marry me off to Wilfred for the sake of the Harper family. Are you unaware of how many women he keeps around? How many he's gotten rid of? You've been using me as a pawn in your dealings with the Downey family. Did you think I was oblivious to all of this?”
Her words brought silence upon Asher.
The old man, however, didn't feel guilty because he believed it was only natural for Geraldine to act according to his plan. Hence, he couldn't understand why she reacted so negatively to it.
At the same time, he was clueless as to why she was so offended by his actions.
After the final document had been signed, Geraldine glanced at Asher and the other members of the Harper family before making her announcement. “Since I'm now the head of the Harper family, I have an important decision to make. From now on, only my parents and I can stay in the Harper residence. The rest of you should find your own accommodations elsewhere.”
The members of the Harper family saw red when they heard those words. Although Geraldine has become the head of the Harper family, it doesn't mean she can bully us!
