The Summer family and everyone else were puzzled when they heard this.
Taking over Gemma's company?
Ranjit quickly caught up, "Perry, are you planning to plead with Gemma?"
"Plead with her? Haha!"
Perry sneered, "What is she? Why would I need to plead with her?"
"What are you... Perry, stop beating around the bush, for this matter, I haven't slept well for several days in a row."
Ranjit said with a bitter face.
Perry turned her head and looked at Ranjit playfully, "Grandpa, do you know where I'm going now?"
"Where?"
"Norwal City!"
After saying that, Perry walked forward without looking back.
Ranjit stood still for a long time. After reacting, he slapped his forehead hard, and his face lit up with joy!
He finally figured out what Perry was up to!
"Everyone, get the paperwork ready. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll officially take over Gemma's company. Also, immediately call the finance team and discuss how to allocate that one billion funds!"
Ranjit was beaming, as if he could already see that one billion loan beckoning to him.
The next day, as usual, Horacio, after dropping off Deborah at the kindergarten, began cleaning the house. At noon, he went to the market to buy groceries, preparing for a sumptuous dinner for his daughter and wife.
Gemma focused all her time and energy on starting the company.
The office space was rented, the last batch of office supplies was purchased, and Gemma, sitting comfortably in her office chair, brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and smiled with great satisfaction.
After these busy days, everything was finally ready, and the company could officially operate from tomorrow.
Thinking back on the experiences of the past few days, Gemma felt like she was dreaming.
Having gone through life and death, as well as a dreamlike wedding, her most beloved man guarding her and their daughter every day.
And now, she had her own company, a new life, and a beautiful future seemed to be waving at her.
"Wow, this office building is nice!"
Just as Gemma was daydreaming about the bright future, a voice suddenly came from the entrance, followed by a few people walking in.
"Why are you guys here?"
Seeing these people, Gemma couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
It wasn't anyone else but members of the Summer family, including Ranjit and Perry.
Perry, dressed in a bewitching manner, looked at Gemma with a playful expression, "Gemma, thank you. You found such a good place for us. I'm sure it'll be very comfortable for me to work here in the future."
"What do you mean?"
Gemma frowned and said, "This is my company, none of your business!"
"Your company?"
Perry sneered, took out a stack of documents from her bag, and tossed them on the table. She said indifferently, "Take a good look for yourself."
Gemma picked up the documents on the table with some confusion. When she saw the contents on top, her face instantly darkened with anger!
It was actually a company equity transfer agreement!
It was written on it that Gemma voluntarily transferred all the shares of Springscean Construction Limited Company unconditionally to the name of the Summer Group!
"I've said it many times. Springscean Construction is my own company. When I was in debt, you forced me into a corner. Now that the company is doing well, you want to take it back. No way!"
Gemma slammed the table hard. Just thinking about the previous incident made her feel like her heart was being stabbed with needles.
"Hehe, Gemma, listen carefully. We didn't come here to negotiate with you today; we're just informing you."
"This agreement is written very clearly. Do you still want to deny it?" Perry said coldly.
Gemma sneered, "Joke. This is just your wishful thinking. Did I ever say I would sign it?"
"Hehe, we don't need your signature."
Perry said, flipping to the last page of the agreement, pointing to the signature at the bottom. She smirked, "Open your eyes and take a good look at what this is!"
Gemma looked down and, when she saw the signature above, her face turned pale in an instant!
It was her father's signature!
At the same time, Gemma suddenly remembered that when she went abroad to study, many things in the country were inconvenient to handle, so she signed a power of attorney for her father.
The power of attorney stated that Alan, her father, could fully represent her in signing any documents, and his signature had the same legal effect as hers!
"This must be forged by you. My dad couldn't have signed it!"
Gemma shouted loudly in anger.
"If you don't believe it, call and ask for yourself."
Perry rolled her eyes.
Gemma's hands were already shaking, and she quickly dialed Alan's number.
Before Gemma could speak, Alan excitedly exclaimed on the other end of the phone, “Gemma, I was just about to call you.'"
"Let me share some good news with you. Yesterday, Perry gave me a hundred thousand. Do you know the condition? It's to sell that broken Springscean Construction to them, haha!"
"That company is just an empty shell. No one would want it even if you throw it on the street. How could we miss such a good opportunity? I'll talk to your mom later and bring some of the money you earn over...
"Snap!"
Gemma's wrist suddenly trembled, and the phone snapped as it fell to the ground.
"Shameless, despicable!"
Gemma shouted in anger, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Gemma, please watch your attitude!"
Ranjit stood tall, speaking with righteousness. "Don't feel wronged. Springscean Construction originally belonged to our Summer family's business. Taking it back is only natural."
"The office conditions here are good, and it can be considered a contribution you made to the Summer family. Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we will officially move in!"
After saying this, he threw down an agreement and walked away.
Gemma covered her face, leaned on the table, and cried softly. The sense of injustice in her heart was something only she could understand.
Back when the company was heavily in debt, the Summer family used deceit to place all the debt and the company on her shoulders.
Later, when the company unexpectedly received a loan of one billion, it was about to turn things around. However, the Summer family used the same deceitful methods to take it away.
What made Gemma feel wronged was not just losing the company but also the resentment and despair towards her family.
They were supposed to share a close family bond, so why did they treat her so heartlessly?
Gemma felt disoriented and didn't even know how she got home.
Pushing the door open, the room was filled with the aroma of the meal.
"You're back! Sit down and eat. Today, I made your favorite spicy chicken cubes!"
Horacio, wearing an apron, was arranging the freshly cooked dishes on the dining table.
"Mom, Deborah got another gold star at school today!"
Deborah quickly approached, handing a certificate to Gemma.
Seeing the warm scene in the room, Gemma smiled gently, but deep down, she felt incredibly sad, unsure of how to share the recent events.
"Hurry and eat. Taste how good my cooking is!"
Horacio pulled Gemma to sit down and then served a piece of spicy chicken into her bowl.
At that moment, he noticed Gemma's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Horacio quickly asked.
Seeing Deborah by their side, he hurriedly led Gemma into the bedroom, expressing concern. "What exactly happened?"
"Horacio..."
Tears streamed down Gemma's eyes as she choked out the story of what had just occurred.
After saying this, afraid that Horacio would get angry, Gemma quickly consoled, “But you don't need to be angry. Actually, running a company is quite tiring, and now that the company is gone, it's not a bad thing...”
"Hahaha! Wife, are you serious? The Summer family really took the company back?"
Unexpectedly, Horacio burst into laughter, "This is a cause for celebration! Those fools from the Summer family, they can really do foolish things like lifting a stone only to drop it on their own feet. Just wait, they'll be crying their hearts out again soon, haha!"
