Penelope Quinn gave a sardonic smile and said, "It's not that they're lacking a recovery plan; they're lacking money. The government subsidy fell through because of Evelyn Halloway's negative press. President Patterson's credibility is shot."
Ivy Holden immediately perked up. She said to Penelope Quinn, "Where's Conrad Webb? Have him contact Holden Patterson and buy this show."
"Huh?" June Grant asked with a look of disgust. "Why would you buy that?"
