From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After novel Chapter 324

The Beard family had substantial influence overseas, and with Manon backing them, their power had only grown. Nichols Entertainment inviting Cathryn to join them was a strategic move to cover up Sean’s recent scandal 

Cathryn’s overseas connections could attract significant investment. That was why she and Marion had been trending lately. The Nichols Group was building up her image, and at this rate, they might just succeed in rescuing their ailing company. 

True enough, within a mere three days, Cathryn’s name was splashed across every trending topic. Her reputation as an overseas socialite preceded her, and she quickly became known as a refined, wealthy lady 

And Cathryn seemed to be managing this new persona with remarkable aplomb 

In her office, Debra watched these developments with growing unease. 

EN O 

Things were unfolding just as she had predicted and dreaded. 

Nichols Entertainment was steadily regaining its footing, while the stain left by Sean was gradually fading from public memory. 

A sharp knock at the door interrupted her thoughts, followed by Ben’s voice. 

“Madam, there’s an urgent matter.” 

“Come in.” Debra tiredly rubbed her temples. “What is it now?” 

“Shelia has been released from prison.” 

Debra’s eyes widened, her fatigue momentarily forgotten. 

“Shelia is out?” 

“Yes.” 

“Who authorized her release?” 

“I’m not sure yet, but it doesn’t appear to be anyone from the Nichole family ” 

Debra let out a short, incredulous laugh. “If it wasn’t the Nichols family, then who? Did she orchestrate a jailbreak?” 

“It doesn’t seem so. Records Indicate she was released on bail.” 

“And who would bail her out? Her mother? Our men have been watching Clarissa. She has been dodging creditors daily. She certainly doesn’t have 

the funds.” 

“I’ve started investigating, but it might be tricky. Shelia went straight back to the Nichols family’s house upon her release, and she’s now under Mrs. Nichols Sr.’s protection.”
