âYes, I did,â Maeve replied, Charlieâs voice had been loud enough for anyone nearby to hear.

âI hope not.â Marve sighed The Norman familyâs prominence overseas, combined with Zionâs backing, made them a formidable force. Brooks Entertainmentâs decision to sign Serena seemed like a strategic damage control to overshadow the recent scandal involving Lucas.

âNo, it was a legal release. She was bailed out.â
×× âYouâre saying that Belle has managed to bail her out?â Maeve chuckled. âThave people watching her. Sheâs drowning in debt and has been dodging her creditors. She definitely doesnât have the money to bail Clara out.â
