The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 460

Furthermore, since the narrative that Clive was a serial cheater had been established as fact, netizens began digging up everything he had ever done, viewing it all through a lens of villainy. The entire campaign against him was a textbook example of Glitz Entertainment's power.

While Clive’s phone was being bombarded by media inquiries, Glitz’s legal department had already drafted a lawsuit demanding three hundred million dollars in damages.

Magnus stood by the window of his office, looking down at the swarm of reporters gathering below. He adjusted his cufflinks slowly. "Tell Finance to freeze all of Clive's revenue accounts before the end of the day."

His secretary asked cautiously, "How should we reply to Winifred?"

The company had just nuked Clive’s reputation. Would he still be willing to entertain Winifred to pay them back?

"That doesn't matter," Magnus smiled, the look of a hunter who had already won. "Prey only falls into the trap when there is nowhere else to run. Just tell Winifred the trap has been sprung."

Clive stared at the file, his pupils contracting sharply. Three hundred million! The number hit him like a physical blow to the temple, making his ears ring. He flipped through the document robotically, the dense numbers dancing before his eyes.
