Chapter 1748 The Famous Reborn
"I hope your company figures this out soon. Anyway, we can't keep filming for the next couple of days. Let's see how things play out online." Emery's face softened a bit, but he still left in a huff.
The other actors quickly took off too, clearly ticked off. But like Cecilia said, with Mr. Trevino from Dreamscape Entertainment Group backing her, the company would have her back. We'll see what happens next.
Bernice was the last to leave, and Cecilia stormed over to her, "Bernice, was it you?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Bernice replied.
Cecilia, who had initially wanted to hit her, remembered the slap from earlier and didn't dare get too close. But her tone was still aggressive, "Stop pretending. It can't be a coincidence. I said a few bad things about you this morning, and by the afternoon, my issues were exposed. We're from the same company. If it wasn't you retaliating, then who?"
Gabriella couldn't hold back any longer and snapped, "Are you crazy? You shamelessly seduced a married man, and instead of reflecting on it, you blame others. I've never seen someone as shameless as you."
"And who are you? A lowly assistant, and you dare to scold me?" Cecilia pointed at Gabriella's nose, "I won't let you off."
"You, being so arrogant as an adulterer, I say, this should have been exposed long ago."
"Gabriella, don't argue with a dog. Let's go," Bernice calmly reminded.
"Right, I won't argue with an adulterer." Gabriella sneered coldly and left with Bernice.
Cecilia stomped her foot in anger. She definitely wouldn't let this go.
"Contact Mr. Trevino immediately," she ordered her assistant.
The assistant beside her was speechless. Mr. Trevino was probably having a hard time himself right now. Would he have time to deal with Cecilia?
On the other side, after getting into the nanny van, Gabriella said with satisfaction, "I've disliked Cecilia for a long time. She often badmouths you behind your back in the crew. She thinks that by getting close to Sarah, she can..."
She stopped mid-sentence, realizing she had said too much, and quickly covered her mouth.
Bernice looked at her, "Cecilia is close to Sarah?"
Gabriella opened her mouth but didn't speak.
Bernice's voice turned cold. "Tell the truth. Did Fiona tell you something?"
Gabriella, Fiona's cousin, had been arranged to work with Bernice after graduation, so Fiona would sometimes confide in Gabriella.
"Fiona heard from an insider at the company that Sarah's assistant has been meeting with Cecilia's assistant privately a few times," Gabriella said softly.
"No wonder Cecilia has been badmouthing me in the crew and trying to stir up trouble between me and other actors." Bernice quickly understood. She hadn't expected that Sarah, even after making a comeback, would still be causing her trouble.
Given how much the company was investing in Sarah, everyone probably saw her as Lucas's future wife.
Cecilia might be trying to curry favor with Sarah, or Sarah had promised her some benefits.
Luckily, she had acted today. Otherwise, having Cecilia around for a few months of filming could have been very troublesome.
"Bernice, are you okay?" Gabriella asked anxiously, "Fiona didn't mean to hide it from you. She was afraid you'd get angry and cause trouble for Sarah.""Is Sarah's position in the company so high now that even Fiona is afraid of her?" Bernice smirked slightly.
Gabriella hesitated but decided to spill the beans, "Sarah isn't just being taken care of secretly by Mr. Nelson. Even Erin and Mr. Yancy Nelson value her highly. The other day, when Sarah came to the company, the Nelson family's driver specifically picked her up for a meal. Reporters even caught Sarah shopping with Erin, but the media didn't dare to publish it. However, Fiona, with her connections, found out."
Gabriella paused and looked at Bernice sympathetically, "Bernice, it's okay. Just think of it this way: Mr. Lucas Nelson isn't a good man anyway. Let Sarah have him. As for you, women have needs too. Just think of it as getting a free man for sex."
Thanks, you're good at comforting people.
Bernice was speechless for a long time.
"Could it be that Mr. Lucas Nelson isn't good in bed?" Gabriella asked nervously when Bernice didn't respond.
"No."
Gabriella relaxed, "I thought so. With Mr. Lucas Nelson's tall and strong build, he couldn't possibly be bad in bed."
Bernice was so troubled that she didn't want to talk anymore.
She took out her phone and opened WhatsApp. In just half an hour, Herschel's ranking had dropped to the bottom ten, while Cecilia's ranking had shot to the top. The internet had dug up all of Cecilia's dirt, including her past of seducing other people's boyfriends and rumors of her having been a prostitute.
In short, Cecilia's reputation was now in tatters.
Meanwhile, Herschel quickly issued a public apology. In his long apology letter, he mostly implied that his infidelity was due to Cecilia's seduction. He also publicly admitted that he had wronged his wife and daughter and promised to take good care of them in the future, asking everyone not to harass his daughter.
Soon, there were people defending Herschel, saying he was responsible and that Cecilia was so lowly that Herschel must have been bewitched by her.
Gabriella cursed, "Mr. Trevino is so shameless. Doesn't everyone in the company know what he's like? It's not his first time sleeping with the company's artists. Poor his wife, still enduring it all."
"Standard PR tactics," Bernice said. "Go to the company and find out what's going on. I'm going back to rest."
"Alright."
After the nanny van dropped Bernice off at her apartment building, she went up to change clothes, put on a wig, and drove out in a black Buick.
The car drove into a secluded private club, and Bernice swiped her card to enter a private room.
Inside, a man in his thirties, dressed in a white polo shirt and jeans, was already seated, looking casual and relaxed.
However, when he saw Bernice, a deep surprise flashed in his eyes, "I didn't expect the famous Reborn to be you."
Bernice took off her wig and threw it on the sofa, extending her hand, "Lyndon Myles, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you," Lyndon said, shaking her hand excitedly. "It seems everyone has been fooled by you. I just don't understand why you used me to deal with Cecilia from the same company. Do you have a grudge against her?"
"Cecilia is just a decoy."
Bernice withdrew her hand and sat on the sofa.
Lyndon quickly handed her a glass of red wine.
Bernice swirled the wine, her clear eyes deep and unreadable, "My target is Herschel, Dreamscape Entertainment Group, and getting Lucas's influence out of the entertainment industry."
