The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 384

"Although Clive promised that the Sloan family would invest, looking at him, it's obvious the entire family will eventually fall into that woman's trap," Mr. Watson said grimly. "Rather than pinning our hopes on Clive, we need to make backup plans. Send the order down: notify the PR department to prepare crisis management protocols."

Mr. Watson knew Clive's ship was destined to sink. He needed to secure his own exit. Having sat in his position for years, he wasn't stupid; he saw the situation more clearly than anyone. rather than waiting to be purged by the Fulton Group's influence later, it was better to salvage what he could and bail out early.

As for Clive? He was on his own.

...

Elsewhere, despite telling Tamara not to worry, Clive was anxious. The thought of the shareholders panicking like cats on hot bricks over the Fulton withdrawal gnawed at him. If he didn't secure investment soon, those shareholders would turn on him. He decided to go home immediately to speak with his father, Hackett, and his brother, Josiah.

Driving his sports car at breakneck speed, Clive arrived at the Sloan family garage. He stormed into the house without even changing his shoes, bursting into the study where Hackett was reviewing documents.

"Dad, you have to help me!" Clive blurted out. "My company urgently needs funds. Can the family invest a sum to help me out?"

Hackett looked up, frowning. "Investment? I recall Glitz Entertainment recently partnered with the Fulton Group. Didn't they pledge a significant amount? Why would you be short on funds now?"
