Chapter 894 Prestigious Family
Wilfred's unexpected appearance caused a commotion among the business elites who were present.
The Downey family was one of the Ten Prestigious Families. Any action they took could have a significant impact on New Littbourg's business world.
It was well-known that Geraldine was initially engaged to the heir of the Downey family, and Donald's appearance was sudden and unexpected.
The business elites were still wondering how the Downey family would deal with the Harper family and whether they would become rivals.
If so, could the so-called New Littbourg Business Alliance continue to develop smoothly?
While everyone was in doubt, Wilfred turned to Donald and said, “I was wondering who would dare to snatch my woman. It turns out to be you, Donald, the abandoned child of the Campbell clan.”
Donald was slightly taken aback that Wilfred recognized him at first glance. “Do you know me? Am I that famous?”
Wilfred sneered. “Famous? I think you've mistaken. Our family was preparing to target Dragon Fide Corporation, so I happened to glance through your personal information. Ladies and gentlemen, Dragon Fide Corporation will soon become a thing of the past. Who else wants to go down alongside them?”
Hearing that, those hesitant business elites immediately moved over to Wilfred's side.
Compared to Dragon Fide Corporation, the Downey family, a long-time member of the Ten Prestigious Families was undoubtedly more powerful.
Not to mention, New Littbourg was within the Downey family's area of influence. If the Downey family were determined to make things difficult for them, New Littbourg Business Alliance wouldn't be able to develop at all.
Seeing the tables turn so swiftly, Geraldine clenched her fists and bit her lower lip.
Wilfred beckoned at Geraldine with his finger and said, “Considering you're my fiancée, I'll give you a chance. If you crawl up to me now and admit you're a shameless b*tch, I'll spare you this time.”
As soon as Wilfred finished his sentence, everyone shifted their gazes onto Geraldine. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
It was evident that Wilfred wouldn't relent until he pushed Geraldine to the brink of desperation.
It was either Geraldine yielded, or the Harper family defeated Wilfred.
However, Wilfred was backed by the Downey family. Hence, the thought of the Downey family getting trounced by the Harper family was no different from a joke.
Seeing the familiar look of disdain in Wilfred's eyes, Geraldine trembled with rage.
His contemptuous and dehumanizing gaze was the very reason why she had been trying so hard to take over the Harper family for so many years. I am in control of my own fate! Even when facing the Downey family, I will never back down!
Just as she was about to step forward and express her stance, Donald took the initiative to hold Geraldine's hand and pulled her into his arms.
Geraldine, who leaned against Donald's chest, was initially stunned. Then, a sense of absolute security washed over her the next second. Is this how it feels like to be protected by someone? This feels nice.
She willingly rested her head on Donald's shoulder, nestling herself in his embrace.
His actions infuriated Wilfred to his core. “Donald, you're courting death!”
Donald replied nonchalantly, “What's the matter? I'm just hugging my girlfriend. Is this any of your business?”
“Aren't you afraid Jennifer will find out?”
Donald chuckled. “How can you be so sure that my wife doesn't know about my relationship with Geraldine?”
He was trying to say Jennifer was aware he was putting on an act with Geraldine, so she wouldn't mind.
However, that wasn't how Wilfred interpreted Donald's statement.
It was common for the heirs of wealthy families to have several female companions.
Therefore, Wilfred assumed Donald was provoking him, implying that Geraldine was his woman and Jennifer knew about it.
Wilfred couldn't stand that kind of goading. He instantly said to Serena Wacket next to him, “Inform the family to start a financial attack on Dragon Fide Corporation at once.”
