Donald had initially been concerned about Geraldine's ability to take over the Harper family. He believed that simply signing contracts and agreements wouldn't be enough for her to effectively lead the family. Taking over such a massive responsibility required much more than just paperwork.
Therefore, Donald felt relieved when he saw that Geraldine had gathered a loyal team of fighters led by Maddox.
Geraldine then went on to announce a series of decisions. She axed all the lazy members of the Harper family and told them to make a living on their own.
As for the members of the Harper family, who were shunned and rejected in the past, Geraldine gathered all of them and made them her assistants.
Donald couldn't help but feel impressed by how Geraldine overhauled the family structure. She might look innocent on the outside, but she's actually mature and meticulous when she needs to get things done.
It was already nighttime by the time Geraldine was done with everything,
The mansion was rather empty after Geraldine chased the other members of the Harper family out. Unlike Geraldine, her parents had a hard time adapting to the sudden changes.
“Geraldine, are you sure what you did was okay? What if they regain influence and power in the future? What are we supposed to do, then?” Leilani was worried.
Her concerns were valid, considering their family's history of being mistreated and oppressed for so long. They were often treated as mere servants within the Harper residence.
Even after Geraldine had successfully removed the others from the Harper residence, Leilani found it difficult to overcome the trauma of years of oppression. The memories and experiences of being mistreated had left a lasting impact on her.
Geraldine reassured her mother, “Mom, don't stress about it. You don't need to worry anymore. Asher and his sons are no longer a threat to us. They're no longer part of the Harper family. And even if they try to seek revenge, we have Donald on our side. With him by our side, we're invincible. We'll never lose.”
Leilani couldn't comprehend Geraldine's words. I know Donald is strong, but all he can do is fight. Can we rely on him in critical moments? Moreover, Donald isn't indestructible. If Asher and the rest were to link up with the Downey family, the Downey family could get their elders to deal with us. Wouldn't we be in trouble then?
Seeing how Leilani was keeping mum, Geraldine wrapped her arm around her mother's shoulders and said, “Mom, could you please stop thinking about that? Didn't you hear me? As long as we have Donald, we're fine. Besides, Donald had only used less than one-tenth of his capability today. If he's willing to help me wipe the Downey family out, the puny Downey family won't even stand a chance against us.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? The Downey family is one of the Ten Prestigious Families. How could you call them puny?” Cecil fumed.
Geraldine stuck out her tongue when she saw the solemn expression on Cecil's face. After running out of her parents' bedroom, she arrived in the living room to see Donald sitting on the couch and watching the television.
Without hesitation, Geraldine plopped down next to Donald and tapped her fingers on his thigh. “What do you think, Donald? I did pretty well, didn't I?
Donald rolled his eyes at her in response. “What? What did you do exactly? Didn't I help you settle all the issues today?”
Geraldine blinked innocently and responded, “Well, I gave you a chance to shine, didn't I? If I hadn't brought you back with me, you wouldn't have had a chance to showcase your dominance.”
“Are you saying I should be thanking you?” He shot her a look.
