The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 418

Compared to the massive crisis the Sloan Group was currently facing, Clive's troubles seemed insignificant. In fact, Hackett thought this might be a good opportunity for Clive to retire from the entertainment industry. Since the family was facing difficulties, if Clive quit, he could come back and help with the business.

Clive’s throat tightened, and for once, he humbled himself before his father. "Dad, I really have nowhere else to turn... The agency is blacklisting me, and the breach of contract fees are astronomical. How can I pay them? I promise, if the family helps me pay the penalty, I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."

Hackett was silent for a moment before sighing. "Clive, it's not that I don't want to help, but... we can barely save ourselves. The company has inexplicably had contracts terminated by numerous partners recently. We have a massive hole in our capital chain, and the banks are calling in debts. Josiah is barely holding it together... Take care of yourself."

The call ended, leaving only a jarring busy signal.

Clive stood on the street corner, feeling as if the world was spinning. The once glorious third young master of the Sloan family had been abandoned by everyone. The irony was that after so much rejection, he couldn't even summon the energy to be angry.

...

Meanwhile, at the Conner estate.

Carola Conner was locked in her room, her phone confiscated, cutting her off from the outside world. She lay by the window, gazing anxiously downstairs.

It had been days since she last messaged Tamara. Carola thought that after failing to reply for so long, Tamara must surely be angry with her.

It was all her brother's fault—he was a tyrant! She was an adult, yet he dared to imprison her! But Carola was most angry at her father. He had promised to invest in Clive's company, but instead of an investment, she got locked up because her father snitched to her brother.

Carola was furious and frantic; she had smashed everything in the room, but Lance refused to let her out.
