Forbidden Passion

Chapter 416 She Won't Let Her Off Easily

Phoebe laughed. "Noah and Claire are our company's artists. I don't need to blacklist them by terminating their contracts. I want to set them free. Is that okay?" 'Vanessa wants a free ride. Dream on!' Phoebe thought.

Lloyd looked at Phoebe, shocked. "Ms. Ziegler, I don't get it. If we terminate their contracts, we owe a hefty fee. Noah and Claire are our top earners."

"It doesn't matter. The company will cover it. How do you want to handle it?" Phoebe asked calmly.

John eyed Phoebe, sensing something was up. "Ms. Ziegler, did something happen?"

Despite her heavy makeup, Phoebe's exhaustion was clear. There had to be a reason for her sudden actions.

"Don't ask. I have my plans," Phoebe said.

John and Lloyd exchanged glances, both in disbelief. Queen Entertainment had gained fame thanks to Noah and Claire, and now many artists wanted to sign with them. Phoebe was almost self-destructively letting Noah and Claire go. This was highly unusual.

Lloyd said, "But how do we explain this to the head office?"

He meant the Reynolds Group.

Phoebe chuckled and stared sharply at Lloyd. "Lloyd, you know I'm still in charge of Queen Entertainment, right?"

Lloyd was taken aback. "I just don't get why you're doing this. Any company with valuable artists would try to extend their contracts. I've never seen anyone do the opposite." Phoebe replied, "Well, today you'll see something new."

Lloyd was speechless.

He thought, 'Phoebe must be crazy!'

Phoebe leaned back in her chair, her gaze bold and sharp, as if she had been restrained for too long and was finally unleashing her true nature.
