would tank Crimson.
In 2015, Julian leaves the mob and starts a new company called Derek Wells Media. Julian hired a very inexperienced Nina Reeves to be editor-and-chief of Crimson, so she can run it into the ground so he can get the tax write off. After finding out that Maxie worked at Crimson, Nina offers her a job and she accepts. Maxie also gives Nina a make over so she can play the part of Editor-in-Chief better. Nina picks it up quickly. Dillon Quartermaine was also hired as a photographer.
In August 2016, Julian is facing criminal charges and Nina blackmails him for full control of Crimson. Nina held crucial information that could impact Julian's case, so he relented and signed over ownership of the magazine completely to Nina.
In 2017, it was revealed that Derek Wells Media still owns Crimson and signs off on its budget but Nina controls the magazine. Julian later sells Derek Wells Media to his daughter Sam McCall and Drew Cain who rename it Aurora Media. Following Sam and Drew's divorce Sam decided to step down and Drew later sold 50 percent of Aurora Media to Jasper Jacks making him co-owner.
