Chapter 1028 The News is Gone
While Christina was reading these comments, Bernard from the Mitchell Group was also looking at the absurd news online.
He naturally knew that the entertainment industry was complicated, but he didn't expect Christina to encounter such rumors just as she was stepping into it. "Billy, find out the background of that makeup artist and deal with the false news online immediately."
"Christina!"
Cheryl, who had been at home for half a month, saw this tweet and realized that Christina had entered the entertainment industry and even landed the lead role in Valeria Song!
Cheryl had not gotten any work opportunities since losing that commercial shoot, let alone a lead role in a major film.
"No wonder Christina has become so arrogant; she even climbed up to Curtis."
Cheryl was very angry and casually retweeted the tweet.
Although she wasn't a top star, she had some level of fame.
Originally, people were skeptical about the entertainment industry news, but Cheryl's retweet, as an insider, seemed to confirm the authenticity of the matter to netizens.
The online discussion about this matter grew more intense. Christina sat on the sofa, watching the development of the situation, feeling extremely anxious. She hurried to explain to Curtis, "Mr. Caldwell, I really didn't steal anything, and now you're implicated because of me."
"It's okay, I believe you." Curtis sighed helplessly. The situation had escalated to a point where a simple denial wouldn't solve it.
Curtis's assistant, Marsha, looked at the news on Twitter and suggested, "Mr. Caldwell, how about changing the actress? We can work with Ms. Russell another time."
"No." Curtis refused without hesitation. "She is the most suitable. Without her, Valeria Song wouldn't be Valeria Song."
Marsha felt a bit helpless about Curtis's insistence. "But Mr. Caldwell, the situation has reached a point where it will affect our movie. You've been preparing Valeria Song for years, and we've been working with you for just as long. None of us want this project to fail."
Watching their argument, Christina felt very uncomfortable.
She cherished this job very much but didn't want to ruin everyone's efforts because of her.
"Mr. Caldwell, how about..."
"Alright, let's start filming. We'll deal with the news later." Curtis didn't want to replace Christina, but the current situation was indeed affecting the movie, and a solution was needed quickly.
Marsha sighed, seeing that she couldn't persuade him.
The crew officially started filming, and when Christina appeared, everyone pointed at her.
Because of the online situation, almost everyone believed she had an improper relationship with Curtis.
Being stared at by so many people, she couldn't get into character. The state she had finally found yesterday was completely gone today.
"Christina."
Just when she wished she could disappear, she heard a familiar voice.
Looking up, Christina saw Bernard.
She froze in place, her feet stuck, unable to move.
'Bernard? Why is he here?'
Curtis reacted first, standing up and walking towards him. "Mr. Mitchell, what brings you here?"
Curtis's action made everyone look at Bernard differently. After all, Curtis was almost in charge of the crew.
But in front of this man, Curtis was so respectful, showing that Bernard's identity was extraordinary!
"With such a major rumor spreading online, were you planning to ignore it if I didn't come?" Bernard glanced at him, clearly very dissatisfied with the situation.
Curtis knew it was indeed his fault for not managing his subordinates well. Being reprimanded by Bernard, he could only lower his head and admit his mistake. "It was indeed my fault. I'm really sorry."
"Since you know it was your fault, so let me handle it today." Bernard didn't say much more to him and walked towards Christina.
Seeing him walk step by step towards her, Christina was still in shock. "Bernard, what are you doing here?"
"If you're feeling upset and uncomfortable, take a few days off and rest at home," Bernard said, looking down at her with concern in his eyes. "We don't need your paycheck that badly."
Christina had been holding back her grievances with no outlet, but now that Bernard was here, his words made her emotions overflow uncontrollably. "Bernard, I didn't do any of the things they're saying. I don't understand why this is happening."
Hearing her say this, Bernard suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."
Before he came here, Billy had already delivered his investigation results to him.
Since the makeup artist liked to talk nonsense, she would be taught a lesson.
Having Billy by his side for so many years, Bernard was confident he could handle the situation perfectly.
After leaving the aftermath to Billy, Bernard drove to the set.
The matter was easy to resolve, but if such things happened repeatedly, it would affect the reputation of both Christina and the Mitchell family.
Since people thought Christina didn't get the role on her own, Bernard would confirm this reputation.
Let the public know that Christina indeed didn't get the role on her own, but it wasn't because of Curtis; it was because of him, Bernard.
Then, Bernard directly took Christina away from the set, and Curtis immediately stopped the work and gave everyone a half-day off.
The two returned to the hotel together, and Christina's mood was still not good.
Bernard sat beside her and received a call from Billy.
"Mr. Mitchell, the matter has been resolved."
"Okay," Bernard responded and then looked at Christina. "Open Twitter and take a look."
Christina looked up. "Look at what? See how people are insulting me and slandering Mr. Caldwell?"
"Just look."
Bernard's tone was authoritative, and Christina had no choice but to obediently take out her phone and open Twitter.
She opened Twitter, fully expecting to see negative comments. But when she saw that the headline news no longer included the topic, her eyes widened. "What's going on? The news is gone!"
Christina looked up at Bernard. "Did you help me solve it?"
"What do you think?" Bernard looked at her, neither admitting nor denying it.
Even if he didn't say it, Christina knew it must have been him who stepped in.
