Chapter 1747 Bernice Hits Someone
"Anyway, I heard from Sarah's agent that Erin's been inviting Sarah to the Nelson family dinners whenever she's free."
"Some people are just wasting their time."
"Guys just need to get their fix; otherwise, why would they be hooking up in the lounge?"
Before she could finish, the third female supporting actress suddenly saw Bernice coming down the stairs from the hallway. Her face went pale instantly, "Bernice."
Bernice walked over to the group, calm and indifferent.
Realizing Bernice might have overheard their conversation, everyone felt a bit awkward.
Cecilia pretended to be shocked and covered her small mouth, "Bernice, did you hear what we were saying? I'm sorry, we shouldn't have talked about you behind your back. But I really think women should have more self-respect. If you don't value yourself, how can you expect others to value you?"
Bernice looked at Cecilia seriously for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "You're right, thanks for the advice."
Cecilia was stunned, and not just her, the others couldn't believe it either. Usually, Bernice was so cold and distant, but this time she didn't even refute when Cecilia, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, lectured her.
Thinking about it, everyone suddenly felt that Bernice was quite easy to push around.
"I'm going to change clothes and shoot the scene." Bernice ignored everyone's gaze and walked away.
Cecilia's arrogant voice came from behind, "I guess she knows Mr. Nelson's support won't last long, so she's keeping a low profile."
Bernice's eyes darkened, and Gabriella angrily said, "Bernice, you should have slapped her just now. Cecilia, a newcomer to the company, dares to be so arrogant in front of you. If you're weak, others will only think you're easier to bully."
"Slapping her would hurt my hand too," Bernice said indifferently.
"So you're just going to let her push you around?" Gabriella said, "I think you should call Mr. Nelson and have him fire Cecilia."
Bernice found it amusing. Lucas would fire Cecilia for her? Ridiculous.
After entering the lounge, she took out her phone, opened Facebook, and sent a message: [Expose Cecilia's dirt.]
The other party replied: [Are you sure? Cecilia is a rising star at Dreamscape Entertainment Group. If something goes wrong now, Dreamscape Entertainment Group won't let it go.]
Bernice: [Are you scared?]
The other party replied: [Not at all. Since you said so, I'll do it.]
By the afternoon, a scandal had suddenly broken out in the entertainment industry.
A reporter exposed a video of Cecilia, an artist under Dreamscape Entertainment Group, passionately kissing Herschel Trevino, the vice president of Dreamscape Entertainment Group. Herschel was about forty years old and already had a wife and kids. Once this was exposed, it immediately caused public outrage. Netizens scolded Cecilia for seducing a married man and Herschel for having sex with a company artist. They even dug up the names of all the artists under Dreamscape Entertainment Group. For a while, not only Cecilia and Herschel but the entire Dreamscape Entertainment Group's artists were caught up in the scandal.
[Oh my God, I used to like Cecilia on variety shows, gross.][Variety shows are all about personas. Think about it, if Cecilia didn't have some serious backing, how could she suddenly break into the film industry? Look at her resources, they're top-notch. Lila Donovan from the same company signed two years before Cecilia and is still stuck playing the fourth female lead.]
[Cecilia, being an adulterer, shameless, get out of the entertainment industry.]
[Don't you think Herschel is bad? Such a person is the vice president. Do you think all the female stars at Dreamscape Entertainment Group have slept with him?]
[Now that you mention it, I remember something. Last year, Sarah was exposed for plagiarizing a friend's work, but this year she's still on the Singing Sensation Show. I heard she even got a period drama role, starting in two months. Do you think Sarah's resources are so good because she has a backer?]
[Very likely, it's either Herschel or their president.]
[Fuck, no way. With Sarah's acting skills, she wants to shoot a period drama? Are the standards for period dramas so low now?]
[I heard that too. Sarah hasn't been banned, probably because she has a backer.]
[So, I don't want to watch any female artists from Dreamscape Entertainment Group. Poor acting skills, no self-respect, chaotic private lives.]
[I think Bernice from Dreamscape Entertainment Group has pretty good acting skills. I quite like Bernice.]
[I heard in Bernice's new drama, Cecilia is the second female lead.]
[You mean that drama? I heard the script was revised many times, and Cecilia's screen time is almost the same as Bernice's.]
[I won't watch any show with Cecilia in it, boycotting her.]
[Me too, boycotting.]
Due to the heated discussions online, during the afternoon break, Cecilia's assistant anxiously handed her the phone.
Seeing those photos online, Cecilia's face turned pale.
How could this happen? Her affair with Herschel had always been very secretive, and Herschel had Lucas's backing, making him untouchable by the paparazzi.
Why did it suddenly get exposed today?
For a moment, many people on set looked at Cecilia with strange eyes.
Gabriella even shouted, "Bernice, look, some people were telling you this morning to be more self-respecting. If you don't cherish yourself, no one else will. It's hilarious. She's the one having an affair and still has the nerve to lecture others."
Cecilia was already furious, and being mocked by an assistant made her even angrier. She rushed up to hit Gabriella.
But she didn't hit Gabriella. Bernice intercepted her hand and slapped her hard, "This is for Mrs. Trevino. You're having an affair and still so arrogant."
Cecilia was knocked to the ground, her mouth bleeding, and her face swollen.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Bernice, with her small frame, to slap harder than a man.
"Emery, Bernice hit me." Cecilia cried out in disbelief, "I'm calling the police. Arrest her. I won't let this go."
If it were before, Emery might have defended Cecilia, but now he only cared about the drama. Seeing Cecilia still angry, he said, "You still have the nerve to call the police? Didn't you hear the online boycott? The contract clearly stated that you must maintain your image. Now, because of you, we might have to reshoot half a month's worth of scenes. Pack your things and leave."
Cecilia had never felt so humiliated. She stood up and argued with Emery, "Mr. Trevino will suppress this soon. Once the drama is finished, people will forget about it. Don't forget, Mr. Trevino has Mr. Nelson's backing."
