Chapter 1001 Give Her an Opportunity
'That's good.' Christina thought.
Since these places all belonged to the Rojas Group, they should all have had surveillance.
As long as there was surveillance, there was a chance to find yesterday's footage.
When they arrived at the president's office, Christina and Billy walked in together.
Ruben knew Billy and understood that he was with Christina at Bernard's behest. He nodded to Billy in greeting.
"Ruben, I'm here to ask if you can retrieve yesterday's outdoor surveillance footage?" Christina was anxious and got straight to the point as soon as she entered.
Ruben had the same thought as Christina. He turned the laptop in front of him towards her. "I've already found the surveillance footage. It can be clarified at any time."
The computer showed yesterday's surveillance. Fortunately, to avoid unnecessary trouble, many cameras were installed at various angles in the outdoor shooting location.
These cameras captured what Ruben and Christina did yesterday from various angles. It was clear from the footage that there was a normal social distance between Ruben and Christina, and he was only reaching out to remove something from her hair. There was no other contact between them.
"Thank you, Ruben. With this surveillance, I can prove my innocence." Christina looked at Ruben with gratitude in her eyes. "Can you make a copy for me?"
"Of course." Ruben took the computer, copied the video to a USB drive, and handed it to Christina. "This time, it's my fault for causing you trouble. I should be the one apologizing."
"Not at all! Ruben, I'll go handle this matter first." Christina was eager to prove her innocence and didn't say much more. She took the USB drive and hurriedly turned to leave.
Back in the car, Christina handed the USB drive to Billy. "Take this to Bernard, and then send me a copy to my email."
Billy looked at the USB drive in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take it. "Okay, Mrs. Mitchell."
Back at the Mitchell Mansion, Christina had already received the video from Billy. She quickly took the video to Hellen and Vincent to show them.
After watching the video, the two elders understood the whole story.
Hellen was very angry, "Christina, it's obvious that someone did this on purpose. Does Bernard know?"
Christina nodded. "I've already asked Billy to give the USB drive with the video to Bernard. He's seen it."
"Good." Hellen held her hand and looked at her with great concern, "It seems it's time to make your identity as Mrs. Mitchell public. Otherwise, they think you have no one behind you and keep bullying you."
Christina was a bit surprised and flustered. "Grandma, this... this matter should be discussed with Bernard first!"
Hellen nodded, "Alright, we'll talk about it when he comes back."
That day, the Rojas Group's official account released several surveillance videos, proving that nothing happened between Ruben and Christina.
Ruben's personal social media account also posted a message: [Just exchanged a few words with my long-lost junior. It was a misunderstanding. Please don't misinterpret.]
With these two clarifications, the netizens quickly understood what had happened.
Christina finally breathed a sigh of relief and then called Bernard, "Bernard, Ruben has already issued a clarification. Did you see it?"
"I saw it." Bernard was still watching the surveillance footage when he answered the call.
In the surveillance footage, Ruben bent down towards her, reaching out to remove something from her hair.
Although this action wasn't particularly intimate, seeing them so close still made Bernard feel a bit uneasy!
"Now you should believe that I'm innocent, right?"
Bernard glanced at the surveillance footage on the computer again, feeling inexplicably irritated. He tugged at his tie, "Did you call me for something else?"
Even though Christina had shown him the evidence, Bernard's tone was still cold.
It was really inexplicable!
Christina sighed helplessly. "I have another favor to ask. It's obvious that someone deliberately took these photos and sent them to the reporters. Can you help me find out who took these photos?"
"Okay," Bernard responded coldly. He had already asked Billy to investigate this matter.
This matter wasn't done very secretly, and Billy quickly found out it was Cheryl.
"Mrs. Mitchell, it was Cheryl."
Hearing Billy's report, Christina's expression turned fierce.
She had thought that after giving them three million dollars, she could completely sever ties with the Russell family.
But she didn't expect Cheryl to keep pestering her and even try to harm her now.
Since they wanted to harm her, Christina wouldn't hold back any longer!
"Mrs. Mitchell, do you need me to warn her?"
Christina thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, I need to handle this myself. But Billy, I need your help with something. I hope you can cooperate with me."
Billy nodded, "Mr. Mitchell has instructed that you can come to me for anything you need."
Christina said: "I need you to investigate what Cheryl has been up to recently, what jobs she's taken, and if she's joined any film crews."
Christina knew Cheryl well and understood that her career was what she cared about the most.
Since she wanted to teach her a lesson, she would start with what Cheryl cared about the most.
Billy immediately sent someone to investigate and quickly informed Christina that Cheryl hadn't had much work recently. She had been busy contacting various film crews, trying to secure roles.
Cheryl was desperate for exposure, and the most important things for her were her projects and visibility.
Without work and exposure, she was naturally anxious.
"In that case, why don't I give her an opportunity?" Christina had a plan in mind.
She borrowed Billy's work phone and called Cheryl, deliberately pinching her nose to change her voice. "Hello, is this Ms. Russell?"
"Yes, who is this?" Cheryl's tone was quite irritable, indicating she was in a bad mood.
Christina continued, "I'm the casting director for the 'Love Fortress' crew. We have a role we're looking to cast. Are you interested in auditioning?"
"Casting director?" Hearing her identity, Cheryl immediately sat up straight, her tone improving significantly, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Which crew are you from again?"
Christina pinched her nose and repeated, "Love Fortress."
"Love Fortress?" Cheryl tried to recall but couldn't remember hearing about this crew, "I've never heard of it."
