The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 665

The call came from Bernardo.

Summer slipped out of the classroom and into a quieter part of the hallway before answering her phone.

"Why didn't you pick up after so many calls?" Her father's voice was sharp and accusing.

Already stressed, Summer snapped, "I was in class. What's so urgent?"

"The Gilbert family is on the brink!" Bernardo's voice boomed through the phone.

The sudden outburst made Summer's ears ring. She tightened her grip on the phone, trying to process the gravity of his words. "Dad, what did you just say? What's happening to us?"

"The Gilbert Corporation has been seized, and the banks have frozen all our assets..."

Summer's face went pale, and she stumbled against the nearby railing. Bernardo's words kept echoing in her mind.

The Gilbert Corporation had been seized.

The Gilbert family was doomed.

Panic washed over her as she interrupted, "But everything was fine yesterday. How could it all fall apart so quickly?"

In her previous life, the Gilbert family faced bankruptcy, but that was supposed to happen years later. Why was it happening now?

"Ha! It's all thanks to your precious brother. That Zach, the hotshot lawyer. Why did you tell me those brothers of yours at the Davis family were just freeloaders?" Bernardo's voice was sharp, his face contorted with anger.
