It was certainly unexpected that Claire's aunt was a talent manager; even though they had all shared a meal at Hearth & Kettle, Lawler hadn't recognized her.
Claire gave a solemn nod.
This was vital information for Karla to have.
If Sienna really had sustained spinal damage, her entire career would go up in smoke.
"I've got to get back to work. Make sure you get some rest," Lawler advised.
Since the drama of the entertainment world didn't directly affect Claire, he wasn't overly concerned for her safety.
Claire waved goodbye, waiting until he was out of earshot before relaying the grim update to Karla.
Karla's brow creased deeply. "How could it be that bad?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but Dr. Lawler is on shift tonight, so he likely caught a glimpse of Sienna when she was brought in."
Karla fell dead silent. This was an absolute nightmare.
Sienna wasn't like other stars; she came from a toxic, parasitic family.
Karla had forcefully kept them in check, banishing them to their rural hometown in exchange for a fixed monthly allowance directly from Sienna's pocket.
They only tolerated the arrangement because they viewed Sienna as their cash cow.
If they found out she was paralyzed, they would inevitably swarm back into her life to bleed her dry.
At this point, Sienna's family hadn't even been officially notified of the accident.
But with the internet exploding with the news, it was only a matter of time before her relatives found out.
Karla didn't even want to place bets on what horrifying demands The Darwins would make once they arrived.
They were greedy enough to yank Sienna out of the hospital to save money, dragging her back to their farm to "recover."
That would give them the perfect excuse to legally seize total control of all her assets.
She absolutely could not let that happen!
That girl had fought through hell to get to where she was; if her family got their claws into her, her life would truly be over.
Naturally, her worst fears manifested immediately.
