Chapter 1760 Are You Really Bernice?
The next day, Dreamscape Entertainment Group publicly announced the termination of their contract with Bernice.
This once again pushed Bernice into the center of public opinion.
[Bernice's situation must be true; even the company has terminated her contract.]
[Dreamscape Entertainment Group is a scumbag company. Cutting ties with Bernice now doesn't erase the scandals they caused before.]
[I'm really curious, who exactly is this Gary who spent money to keep Bernice as a lover? How powerful is his family?]
[You know Enchanted Forest Hotel, right? They have locations everywhere, even abroad. This Gary is said to be the son of the chairman of Enchanted Forest Group.]
Gabriella felt a bit scared after seeing those comments online. "Bernice, is it okay that we hired people to dig up Gary's identity like this?"
"If we didn't, how would Gary contact me?" Bernice replied while packing her things. "Enough talking, let's move out first."
"But the company said you could stay for another two months."
"Too many people know my address now; it's not safe here anymore," Bernice said without looking up.
Gabriella, reminded by her, said regretfully, "But I haven't had time to help you rent a new place."
"No need, I've already bought a new house."
Gabriella was stunned. She had been with Bernice for so long and didn't know when Bernice bought a new house. Bernice had mentioned before that the housing prices in Whisperlyn City were too high and that buying a house would leave her with no money.
In the afternoon, after driving for an hour, Gabriella was dumbfounded when she saw the villa in front of her. "Is this the new house you bought?"
"Yes." Bernice drove in. The lawn inside was neatly trimmed, and the courtyard was lush and serene.
Gabriella swallowed. Although this villa was in the suburbs of Whisperlyn City, the surrounding environment was beautiful, and the transportation was convenient. The price must be at least several million dollars.
Bernice hadn't been in the industry for long; how could she have so much money to buy a villa? Could it be from Lucas, or was the investment in DreamDazzle Beauty Co. very profitable?
"Bernice, when did you buy the villa? Fiona and I had no idea," Gabriella asked tentatively.
"There are many things you don't know," Bernice said as she sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on a forest outside. "Don't tell anyone about this, not even Fiona. Let others think I'm living miserably now."
Gabriella suddenly found Bernice a bit hard to understand.
But she was also very excited. The richer the person she followed, the higher she could climb in the future.
At this moment, Bernice's phone rang. It was an unknown caller.
She stared at it for a moment before picking it up and putting it to her ear.
A man's cold voice came through, "Bernice, what do you mean by this? It's been so long since we ended things, and you're still dragging me down. Now I'm even trending because of you. You're ruining me."
"Who are you?" Bernice had a guess but pretended not to know.
"Don't play dumb. I don't believe you can't recognize my voice," Gary said angrily. "I'm engaged now, and our past is now public knowledge. Not only is my dad mad at me, but my fiancée is also giving me the cold shoulder."
"Oh, it's you," Bernice said nonchalantly. "The Ross family is so rich; didn't you hire people to clean this up?"
Gary was taken aback. He had indeed used his connections to delete everything about him online yesterday, but today it was exposed again. He gritted his teeth, "Bernice, did you arrange the online posts? Are you deliberately shifting the attention to me?"
"Don't accuse me," Bernice's pleasant voice turned cold. "I'm so famous, even if it's infamy. Isn't it normal for people associated with me to trend?"
Gary felt something was off. The Bernice he knew wasn't like this. He laughed coldly, "Should I thank you then?"
"What did I do wrong?" Bernice suddenly sounded innocent. "Weren't we in a legitimate relationship before? If I were you, I'd come out and tell the media we were dating properly. You could restore your reputation. If your fiancée's family blames you, you'd still be in the right."
Gary was stunned and then laughed coldly after a long pause. "Bernice, your real goal is to force me to come out and clarify, isn't it?"
"If you don't want to, there's nothing I can do."
Bernice's indifferent attitude continued, "At worst, I'll quit the entertainment industry. But as a man, if you don't come out and explain, don't blame me if I decide to go down with you. Let me remind you, you sent me a lot of messages when you were pursuing me. I kept them all. If I'm forced, I'll come out and show them to prove my innocence. If that doesn't work, I'll just quit the industry. As for you, deceiving a naive college student..."
Gary was immediately scared. Although he couldn't remember the exact messages, he did recall saying a lot of sweet words to pursue Bernice.
He gritted his teeth, feeling a bit annoyed. "Bernice, are you crazy? You're threatening me?"
"Oh, you reminded me. I still have the messages where I threatened to commit suicide. Should I let others see how heartless you are?" Bernice chuckled.
Gary's heart suddenly tightened.
"Mr. Ross, I believe you're a smart man," Bernice said meaningfully. "We're tied together now. Don't push me to the brink. Besides, in our relationship, how much money did I spend of yours? You should know."
Although she wasn't the real Bernice, she found that Bernice's home had no luxury items after waking up. She also believed Bernice wasn't the type to sell her body for her career.
Gary was stunned, feeling a bit complicated.
Among all his girlfriends, Bernice was the most honest. No matter what luxury store he took her to, she never wanted anything.
But now, Bernice seemed a bit different.
"Mr. Ross, I hope no one knows about this call today. The reason for coming out to clarify should be entirely your own idea," Bernice reminded.
Gary suddenly asked in a complicated tone, "Are you really Bernice?"
Bernice's heart skipped a beat. After a moment, she said softly, "The Bernice who committed suicide for you is already dead."
She hung up the phone after saying that.
Gary was left in a daze for a long time.
After a while, he called his assistant over.
That night, Gary personally created a WhatsApp account and posted a statement: [Recently, many people online have been discussing and insulting me and Bernice. I didn't want to say more, but the online abuse has gone too far. At this point, I have to come out and make a serious statement.]
[Four years ago, I met Bernice, and we quickly fell in love. There was never any situation where I spent money to keep her as a lover. We were just two ordinary young people in a normal relationship. Later, we found that our personalities were not very compatible, so we broke up. Now I have my own new life, and I hope Bernice can find her own happiness soon.]
