Chapter 1005 You Have a Talent for Acting
Looking at Cheryl, who wanted to retort but couldn't find the words, Christina felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, finally venting the grievances she had once endured!
"What's wrong? Can't say anything? Cheryl, don't you realize by now that you have nothing left to threaten me with?"
"Christina, what exactly do you want?" Despite realizing she couldn't threaten Christina, Cheryl still refused to back down.
Hearing her words, Christina lowered her head and smiled, "I don't want anything. You used photos to slander me, so I want you to taste what it feels like to be slandered, using your own methods against you!"
The surveillance video Christina had in her hand could already subject Cheryl to a wave of online abuse, but Christina didn't intend to destroy her completely. She just wanted Cheryl to understand not to dare harm her again in the future.
After all, when someone was pushed to the brink and lost all hope, they would stop at nothing, leaving no room for negotiation, willing to go down fighting just to harm others.
Such a Cheryl would be even more troublesome.
Christina didn't want to completely destroy her, nor did she want to endanger her own life. As long as she had this leverage, Cheryl wouldn't dare to do anything to her in the future.
All she wanted was peace!
"As long as you leave me alone, I will keep this surveillance video to myself and ensure no one ever sees it. But if you dare to bother me again, I will release it and make sure your career in the entertainment industry is over. Think carefully about your next move!"
This video would indeed become a bargaining chip in Christina's hand, making Cheryl behave.
"Alright, Christina! Just wait; I will make you regret this." After saying that, Cheryl hurriedly left in her high heels.
Although Cheryl was still making threats before leaving, she was actually just bluffing. At least for now, she really didn't dare to confront Christina!
Watching Cheryl's fleeing figure, Christina felt much more relaxed, finally solving a major problem.
Cheryl left the studio, turning back to give a vicious look.
She never expected that everything today would turn out to be a trap!
And after this trap, Christina had something in her hand that could threaten her at any time.
This feeling was incredibly awful!
Cheryl got into her car in a sorry state and returned home.
Christina took her bag from the audience seats and pulled out a USB drive. To make this leverage last longer, she needed to save the surveillance video properly.
Holding the USB drive, she went to the surveillance room to copy the video. To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she was startled!
"Bernard, what are you doing here?"
Bernard was sitting in the surveillance room, looking at her with a raised eyebrow, "I heard there would be a good show here, so I came to watch."
Christina frowned, "When did you start sitting here? Did you see everything that just happened?"
Bernard smiled and asked instead of answering, "Christina, have you ever thought about becoming an actress?"
Bernard had been sitting in the surveillance room from the beginning, watching the trap Christina set, watching her coldly observe Cheryl's performance in the studio. He suddenly found Christina interesting.
At first, he thought Christina was just a woman who would do anything for money. But after getting to know her, he realized that wasn't the case. She played the role of a good wife in front of Hellen and Vincent and took care of them diligently.
She bravely took on a $3 million debt and sought work to pay it off. Christina seemed stronger and more sincere than he had imagined.
And after today's show, Bernard seemed to see another side of her.
She set up this scene, giving Cheryl hope of acting, only to teach her a lesson during the audition.
She also used this scene to leave a bargaining chip to threaten Cheryl. Christina seemed to have quite a bit of cunning.
"An actress?" Christina was puzzled by his words. She walked over, inserted the USB drive into the computer, and started copying the surveillance video she needed. "Why would I be an actress? I'm not Cheryl. She wants to be an actress to gain attention and live a star's life. I don't want to be overly noticed."
Bernard chuckled, "Really? But I think your acting just now was better than Cheryl's. If you became an actress, you would have a bright future."
Hearing this, Christina realized Bernard was mocking her. She felt a bit embarrassed thinking about her acting in front of Cheryl earlier, "Bernard, if you came here just to mock me, you've done it. You can leave now!"
"I'm not mocking you. You really acted well. You have the talent of a good actress," Bernard said, with a somewhat enigmatic smile.
Christina rarely saw Bernard smile, but she had to admit, his smile was indeed very attractive, and he was good-looking too.
Alright, if mocking her made Bernard happy, then let him mock for a while.
After all, being mocked by him wouldn't hurt her!
Christina figured it out and turned to focus on the progress bar on the computer.
Neither of them spoke again, and the surveillance room became quiet.
Bernard's gaze on Christina's back grew more intense.
At this moment, Christina's stomach growled inappropriately.
Hearing the sound, Christina immediately covered her stomach in embarrassment.
To perform well in today's scene, Christina had been overseeing the setup since early morning and hadn't had time to eat breakfast.
It was already 1 PM, and she hadn't had lunch either, so naturally, she was starving.
But it was too embarrassing to have her stomach growl in front of Bernard.
Although being mocked wouldn't hurt her, it was still embarrassing!
She now only hoped that Bernard hadn't heard her stomach growling.
"Hungry?"
Bernard's voice made her freeze on the spot. It seemed he had heard it.
By this time, the copying was done. Christina reached out and pulled out the USB drive, "Yes, I didn't have breakfast or lunch today. How could I not be hungry?"
Bernard frowned, "For such a small matter, you didn't even eat."
Christina's expression became serious, "To make Cheryl suffer a bit, I prepared for a long time. I had to oversee it to make sure nothing went wrong!"
Bernard understood the feeling of being slandered and knew how hard it was for Christina to endure it, "Making her suffer isn't that difficult. You didn't have to do it yourself; Billy could have handled it for you."
