Chapter 1749 Lucas's Ambition is Too Great
Lyndon was feeling pretty good, but then he got all down again. "I want to, but it's just too hard. Lucas has way too many connections in the entertainment biz. Back when Lucas wasn't in the picture, our Stellar Entertainment Group was the top dog. But lately, Lucas's aggressive moves have made it tough for companies like ours."
"Don't you think Lucas is too ambitious and wants too much?" Bernice chimed in.
"Exactly." Lyndon slapped his thigh. "The Nelson family already rules the medical field. Lucas has made more money than he could ever spend, but he's still not satisfied and is throwing cash into the entertainment industry."
Lyndon paused and then laughed coldly. "I think he just wants to pick women from the entertainment industry. Over the years, he's swapped women like crazy. Not just him, but Mr. Trevino is no better. He's been with more than just one Cecilia, but no one dares to speak up because all the reporters are scared of Lucas."
"The profits in the entertainment industry are pretty huge. Lucas's ambition to dominate it isn't something that can happen overnight."
Bernice said calmly, "But if you don't stop him, in the future, you'll only be able to pick up what Lucas throws away."
"Ms. Ramsey, I get what you're saying. That's why I exposed the affair between Herschel and Cecilia when your people asked me to. But as you saw, Dreamscape Entertainment Group put all the blame on Cecilia. Herschel is still fine, and people online are even saying he's responsible."
After saying this, Lyndon got worried. "Dreamscape Entertainment Group will soon figure out that I was behind the exposure."
"So you need to completely ruin Herschel."
Bernice threw a stack of photos from her bag. "These are all photos of Herschel with other artists. I know you have the means to release them all. Make sure Herschel has no chance of recovery. Herschel owns thirty percent of Dreamscape Entertainment Group's shares. Lucas wouldn't be where he is in the entertainment industry without Herschel's help. Destroying Herschel means cutting off a significant support for Lucas. And most importantly, this scandal will ruin Dreamscape Entertainment Group's reputation in the industry."
Lyndon was stunned. "Ms. Ramsey, you're also part of Dreamscape Entertainment Group. If this list gets out, won't it affect you too?"
"Do you think I need to make money from the entertainment industry?" Bernice shot back.
Lyndon was taken aback, then laughed at himself. "Yeah, with your skills, you could easily help someone make billions of dollars."
Bernice stayed quiet, just looking at him. "Are you scared to do it?"
"I'm scared of Lucas's retaliation." Lyndon smiled bitterly. "He's terrifying. Making someone disappear without a trace is easy for him. And the Nelson Group's medical resources are top-notch. Who dares to mess with doctors?"
"Mr. Myles, from the moment you released the photos of Cecilia and Herschel, we were already in this together."
Bernice smiled lightly and took a sip of red wine. "In the entertainment industry, it's either Stellar Entertainment Group gets bought out, or Dreamscape Entertainment Group makes concessions. You need to understand that once Lucas's position in the entertainment industry is as strong as it is in the medical field, the Myles Family won't stand a chance in the entertainment industry."
Lyndon's body trembled.
"Don't worry." Bernice said, "Once you release the info, there will naturally be departments investigating Dreamscape Entertainment Group. Lucas has connections, but so do I. Even if he hates you, he won't dare to kill you. As for your company's finances, whatever you lack, I'll make up for it. I can invest in your company. Don't worry, I won't take over management. You know I don't care about that kind of money."Lyndon stared at her for a while, then lifted his glass. "Well, then, here's to our partnership."
Their glasses clinked softly.
Bernice sighed to herself.
All she wanted was to get away from Lucas and live a quiet life.
But Lucas wouldn't let her, and even Sarah had to mess with her.
Sarah wanted a comeback, and Lucas was backing her.
Bernice wanted to see if Sarah, buried in scandal, could really make a comeback.
As for her own reputation, she couldn't care less.
The next day, Cecilia's career was toast. Major brands were scrambling to cut ties, and all the TV shows she was in were recasting.
With the sudden cast changes, filming was put on hold for a few days.
Bernice was happy to chill at home. When Gabriella came over, she said, "I just came from the company. A bunch of brands are demanding to cancel their contracts with Cecilia. She's crying and begging to see Mr. Trevino and Mr. Jenkins, but no one's giving her the time of day."
"Get used to it. In this industry, falling from grace is easy." Bernice casually cracked a sunflower seed. "Never trust a man's sweet talk."
"True," Gabriella muttered, "Mr. Trevino is such a jerk. I heard that after the scandal broke yesterday, he was still out partying at a bar. He doesn't care at all."
Hearing this, Bernice's lips curled up. He might not care today, but tomorrow he'd have plenty to worry about.
On the third day, just when everyone thought the scandal involving Cecilia and Herschel was dying down, someone online suddenly dropped intimate photos and suggestive messages between Herschel and several other artists from the company. The explicit content was shocking.
These artists included those who had left years ago, new artists, and even some who were currently popular in the industry.
The person who released the photos had blurred the faces of the women, which only fueled the online speculation.
[How many women has Herschel slept with?]
[Those messages are disgusting. Did he use his power to coerce them?]
[Who do you think the actress with the last name Sullivan is at Dreamscape Entertainment Group? Briar Sullivan or Sarah?]
[It's probably Sarah. There were rumors she had a powerful backer. Otherwise, she wouldn't have so many resources for a comeback. Turns out she slept with Herschel.]
[I think it's Sarah, too. I'm going to puke. I recently started liking her songs on the Singing Sensation Show. I must be an idiot.]
[Is the entertainment industry this messed up? How can there be scumbags like Herschel?]
[Didn't you notice? After Cecilia's scandal broke, Herschel just apologized, and nothing happened to him. Cecilia was driven out of the industry. This kind of thing can't be done by one person alone.]
[I did call out Herschel, but Dreamscape Entertainment Group's water army drowned me out. Dreamscape Entertainment Group has a powerful background, so impressive.]
[Who's behind Dreamscape Entertainment Group?]
[Just look it up. The biggest shareholder is Lucas, the heir to the Nelson Group. Lucas isn't satisfied with making money in the medical field; he has to mess with the entertainment industry too.]
[Lucas is also known for changing women like changing clothes, but the media doesn't dare to expose him.]
[Lucas, can't you just be a good doctor? No one is stopping you from finding a girlfriend, but please don't ruin the entertainment industry.]
[Boycott Dreamscape Entertainment Group. I'm never watching any TV shows or movies they invest in again.]
