Chapter 203 The Queen's Counterattack
At the entrance of the Garcia Group, a business van and a Ferrari came to a halt.
A petite yet lively girl stepped out of the car. She was Hazel, Kayla's assistant! This young girl, who used to be trapped alone in the dilapidated branch due to her family's debts, now exuded confidence and pride.
Since she started following Kayla, not only did she manage to clear her father's debts, but her salary also increased several times over. This made her wholeheartedly loyal and grateful to Kayla.
After she got out of the car, she personally opened the door for Kayla.
Kayla, wearing a long crimson dress, stepped down from the business van, walking in high heels. Her face displayed a sense of calm and composure that she had never shown before.
"Remember, we've come to take over the headquarters. Be confident," Kayla glanced at her team. They were all her handpicked members from the North district, here to take control of the Garcia Group's headquarters.
Then, she would replace each key position with her own people, so that the entire Garcia Group would truly be under her control. The six people beside her were her rightful team.
"Kayla, today is your day!" William came forward and said.
"William, thank you. After this is done, I will definitely repay you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made it this far," Kayla sincerely expressed her gratitude. Without William's help, she would still be the illegitimate daughter whom everyone looked down upon.
William smirked and said, "Today, you're the protagonist. Let those who used to look down on you see that they cannot afford to offend the person you are now."
Kayla nodded and straightened her back, walking confidently towards the entrance in her high heels. At the entrance, Norman and Nathan were personally waiting, pretending to show Kayla respect.
"Dad, why did we have to come down personally to welcome this woman? Does she deserve it?" Nathan was very displeased, watching Kayla arrogantly approaching with her entourage.
"Don't speak to me like that. Be polite when you meet Kayla later. Only then you will be able to smoothly take over the branch in the North district," Norman lectured him.
Norman planned to hand over the thriving branch in the North district to Nathan. That was why he personally came to welcome Kayla.
Nathan pursed his lips, showing a disdainful expression. In his opinion, that branch also belonged to the Garcia Group. It was just a matter of his father uttering a word to make him the general manager. Was there a need to show such respect to Kayla?
Kayla quickly brought the people to the front gate of the company, showing a calm and composed demeanor, completely different from her previous submissive self.
"Kayla, thank you for your hard work! You've done a great job in the North district, and I have already instructed the HR department to promote you to Deputy General Manager of the headquarters! As for the matters of the North district branch, you can hand them over to Nathan!" Norman said with a smile, turning his head to glance at the group of people following Kayla, especially William, which caused him to furrow his brows.
Kayla smiled and replied nonchalantly, realizing that Norman's personal welcome had ulterior motives. He actually wanted to hand over the achievements she had worked hard for to Nathan. She then calmly stated, "Thank you, Dad, for your appreciation. However, this time, I'm not here to assist in the handover of the branch. I'm here to take over the entire Garcia Group."
Upon hearing such rude and unbelievable words, Norman furrowed his brows while Nathan, standing beside him, couldn't stand it and pointed at Kayla, shouting, "Kayla, Who do you think you are? You dare think of taking over the Garcia Group? Let me tell you, even if all the Garcia family members are dead, it still won't be your turn to take over the Garcia Group."
"Is that so?" Kayla's eyes turned cold. She walked up and gave Nathan a resounding slap on the face, shocking both Nathan and Norman.
Before, Kayla used to compromise, but not anymore.
Being publicly slapped, right at the entrance of their own company, Nathan couldn't contain his anger and cursed, "Bastard! Bitch! How dare you hit me! I'll kill you!"
As Nathan swung his fist towards Kayla, a foot struck even faster and hit him square in the stomach. "With me here, who dares lay a hand on Kayla?" William said coldly, determined to assist Kayla this time, in order to establish her dominance.
"Okay, you bitch couple, let me teach you a lesson! Security, come over here and beat the crap out of them!" Nathan yelled madly; he couldn't swallow his anger.
Immediately, over ten security guards rushed over upon hearing Nathan's loud call. As the Chairman, Norman tacitly approved of their actions. He also wanted to suppress Kayla's arrogance. How dare she say that she would take over the Garcia Group? It displeased him, and he wanted to teach this woman a lesson and make her understand her identity.
However, before the group of security guards could approach, William's team consisting of Hunter, Sharon, and Aurora swiftly moved into action.
In just a minute, they had easily defeated over ten security guards, leaving them all lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Seeing this, Norman was shocked. How could these three people effortlessly win against a group of over ten? They were truly incredible!
"Kayla, what are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?" Unable to win the fight, Norman tried to assert his authority, but Kayla spoke frankly.
"Dad, I've already said it. I came here this time to take over the Garcia Group. Whether you like it or not, you can't stop me."
"You dare to steal my position!" Norman's face turned pale with anger. He never expected that this woman would openly declare her intention to seize his chairman position.
"You don't deserve to be my dad. You should know how my mom died. Today, I've only come to collect her debt!" Kayla no longer feared anything. She had confidence in her heart and didn't have to endure their humiliation anymore.
"Let me tell you, Kayla, becoming the chairman is impossible for you. You don't have any shares in your hands, so dreaming about being the chairman is pointless." Norman silently celebrated the fact that he had never given Kayla any shares over the years. It was his insurance against a situation like today.
However, today's Kayla was no longer the same as before.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I already hold 5% of the Garcia Group shares. Additionally, the Power Group holds 40% of the Garcia Group shares!"
Before coming here, William had already transferred 5% of the shares to Kayla for the purpose of running for chairman.
"Haha, even if you two add up, it's still less than 45% of the shares. It's a joke to think about calling for a board meeting to elect a new chairman!" Norman laughed out loud.
To firmly keep the Garcia Group under the control of the Garcia family, Norman held 35% of the shares. In addition, Irving also held 10% of the shares, while his younger brother, Javier, held another 10% of the shares. Nathan used to hold 10% of the shares, but William tricked him out of them.
With this distribution, the Garcia family alone held 65% of the Garcia Group shares, making it impossible for outsiders to gain control under any circumstances.
Although William had tricked Nathan out of his 10% share, the Garcia family still held 55% of the shares, more than half. Therefore, Kayla had no chance at all.
"Dad, you're too confident." Kayla's lips curled upward.
"Kayla, let me tell you, from today onwards, you're fired. You're no longer a member of the Garcia family." Norman vehemently retorted.
In this scene, Norman and Kayla are engaged in a heated argument, indicating that they are ready to fight until the end.
"Norman, it's not certain who will dismiss whom," Kayla suddenly scolded loudly.
"Just because you're acquainted with the Power Group doesn't mean you can control everything. Let me tell you, unless your shares exceed 50%, it is impossible to force a board meeting without me, the chairman," Norman arrogantly and confidently replied.
Just at that moment, a Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the company. A middle-aged man wearing a gray shirt got out of the car. He had a sincere face but hidden in his eyes was a unique sharpness.
Seeing this person, Norman was shocked.
"Javier, what brings you here? Did something happen at the factory?" he asked.
The person was indeed Javier. After getting out of the car, he didn't look at Norman, the chairman. Instead, he went straight to Kayla and apologized.
"Sorry, Kayla. I'm getting older, so I woke up a bit late. The board meeting hasn't started yet, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, both Norman and Nathan gasped for air. What's going on? How could Kayla be so familiar with Javier?
Norman had an inexplicable sense of foreboding and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Dad, with Uncle's 10% stake supporting us, we now have 55% of the shares. We've surpassed the majority. Even if you, as the chairman, refuse to agree, we can still forcefully convene a board meeting!" Kayla calmly and confidently stated.
"Impossible! How is this possible?" Norman's heart sank, unable to believe that his own younger brother was supporting his illegitimate daughter!
Norman suddenly looked at William. It must be the work of the Power Group; otherwise, given Kayla's abilities and status, she would never have gained Javier's support. However, he realized that it was all too late.
"I've said it before, this time I'm here to take over the Garcia Group. So, whether you agree or not, you can't stop me," Kayla walked straight to Norman, loudly declaring.
"Prepare for the board meeting, to elect a new chairman and make personnel changes."
After waiting for over a decade, Kayla finally spoke these words from her own mouth. Only one step remained, and the Garcia Group would belong to her.
