Chapter 473 The Truth Cannot Be Faked

Phoebe strolled into the company, and bam, Carol yanked her aside, whispering some juicy gossip, "Ms. Ziegler, guess what? Grace got smacked around by Miss Reynolds again." Phoebe's eyes widened, her head pounding. "What the heck happened?"

Carol shrugged. "No clue. They were just talking, then boom, fists started flying. Miss Reynolds threw the first punch, and man, she was brutal, almost clawed Grace's face off." "I'm heading down to check it out," Phoebe said, spinning on her heel.

Carol hollered after her, "Ms. Ziegler, don't get mixed up in this. Miss Reynolds is the princess of the Reynolds Group. Messing with her is a one-way ticket to trouble." Phoebe stepped into the elevator, not even glancing back.

Carol watched the doors close, letting out a heavy sigh. She kicked herself for dragging Phoebe to the cafeteria yesterday. If this blew up, Phoebe would piss off Madison before even tying the knot with the Reynolds. What a disaster! Phoebe rode the elevator down and walked into Queen Entertainment. The place was spotless, just like she left it, but something felt off now.

This was Vanessa's turf.

Everyone froze when they saw Phoebe and greeted her in unison, "Ms. Ziegler, morning."

Phoebe flashed a smile. "Where's Grace?"

"Grace is in the artist's lounge," someone piped up.

Phoebe nodded, still smiling, and headed to the lounge.

Inside, a bunch of young girls were huddled around Grace, gossiping. When they heard footsteps, they clammed up.

Phoebe walked in and saw Grace with messy hair and a few scratches on her face. Phoebe frowned. "You okay?" Seeing Phoebe, Grace's eyes welled up with tears. She shook her head and looked down, not saying a word.
