Chapter 744 Things That Don't Belong to Her

After Madison left, Phoebe sat behind her desk, lost in thought. Madison had indeed grown over the past few years; at least she no longer got upset after a few words like she used to.

As for Queen Entertainment....

Phoebe pressed the intercom button, "Lori, come in for a moment."

Shortly after hanging up, Lori knocked and entered. She quickly walked to the desk and placed today's documents in front of Phoebe. "Ms. Ziegler." Phoebe looked up at her. "Lori, have the finance department quietly do an asset evaluation of Queen Entertainment. Don't spread the word."

Lori's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Phoebe. "Ms. Ziegler, are you finally ready to take action against Queen Entertainment?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "What's with that look?"

Lori grinned. "It's a look of admiration. We've been waiting for you to bring Queen Entertainment under Superstar Entertainment for a long time now."

Ever since the news broke a few days ago that Queen Entertainment had fallen out with the Reynolds Group, everyone speculated that Queen Entertainment's future was bleak.

Without the support of the Reynolds Group, it was almost impossible for Queen Entertainment to secure resources based solely on the talent of its artists.

It was said that Finnegan got the fourth male lead in Ice and Fire through internal connections. Otherwise, with Finnegan's awkward acting skills, there was no way Hank would have chosen him.

Phoebe waved her hand. "Tell them to stop spreading rumors."

"Yes, ma'am." Lori playfully curtsied and left the office. Phoebe rubbed her temples, thinking it might be time to get a more reliable secretary.

By the afternoon, the finance department had already handed Phoebe the completed asset evaluation. The speed impressed her.

She flipped through the document. The evaluation was very detailed, clearly not something that could be done in just a few hours. She looked up at the finance director, Kyle Ward.
