Chapter 129 God Did Not Punish Them, They Must Be Right
Royal families would often appear in talent shows.
Lorena Gibson was the obvious king of this show. Strings had obviously been pulled for her.
However, when the obvious king resisted the topic, there was also a secret king in the show, who would develop sneakily and wretchedly, and would finally amaze everyone.
This secret king was Tina Crawford.
Ebony actually knew Tina in her previous life.
She had recognized Tina on the first stage performance.
However, Tina did not make any obvious mistakes on her first stage performance and first public performance, so Ebony did not say anything.
Belinda Bowman was so famous. Why would she be a mentor in this little talent show?
Undoubtedly, it was to pave the way for her niece.
Ebony knew Tina in her previous life because she had acted with her.
In a web drama, Tina was the female lead and she was the third female character.
After debuting in a talent show, Tina became popular immediately and she started filming.
Almost everyone in the crew knew that Tina was Belinda's niece, and Tina herself often showed this off.
But this had never been exposed by the media.
There were so many paparazzi in the entertainment industry that one would think everything that had happened would definitely be exposed.
No, the paparazzi only exposed things about celebrities who had no power nor influence.
For powerful and influential celebrities, the paparazzi would not dare to expose their secrets even if the secrets was put under the paparazzi's eyes for fear of offending the capital behind the celebrity.
To put it bluntly, the adult world was all about bullying the week ones and fearing the strong ones.
In the previous life, the scandal between Belinda Bowman and Mr. Quinn from Summit Entertainment caused a stir in the circle.
The paparazzi were afraid of messing with Mr. Quinn, so they always turned a blind eye to Belinda.
Otherwise, it was impossible that Belinda, who could make someone as amiable as Teri Holland to hate her to the core, had no dark secrets at all.
After Ebony said these words, there was an uproar at the scene.
The audience was fuming!
The director team was scared to death!
Why did Ebony say something so shocking in every recording?!
Could the recording of the show be continued?
The production team quickly came up to mediate.
Belinda's expression looked awful.
Victor was sweating profusely.
In the end, Victor picked up the microphone and asked loudly, "Miss Gibson, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Ebony shook her head, "I have no evidence."
Victor breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally on the moral high ground, "Don't talk nonsense if you have no evidence! Don't just defame people!"
Ebony smiled, "Although I have no evidence, I believe in Miss Bowman. Miss Bowman, why don't you tell me, is Tina your niece?
If you say no, I'll believe it."
Belinda's face suddenly turned pale.
She stared viciously in Ebony's direction, her fingers clenching into fists under the table.
Ebony looked at her lazily, the corners of her mouth curled lightly, "Say it, if you say no, I'll definitely believe it. I've absolutely no doubt about Miss Bowman's character."
"Belinda..." Victor whispered to Belinda beside her.
Belinda glared at him immediately.
If it was known that Tina was her niece, why wasn't Tina been arranged to dance in the central position in the first place and was changed in the nick of time, causing so much troubles!
Victor did not expect it either.
Although he was a mentor, he was filming at the same time. He did not spend much effort on the participants at all. He was usually on the set except for the recording of the public performance.
He was not alone in being so perfunctory.
The four mentors did not care about their team members since there were the dance teacher and the singing teacher.
Only the recommenders care about their team members. After all, the three recommenders were all unpopular celebrities, and they were usually not busy.
Victor only found that Tina was not in the central position the day before yesterday in a video call with the dance teacher. He was impatient and could only make the teacher change her position.
"Miss Bowman, I'm still waiting," Ebony urged impatiently seeing that Belinda had been silent.
Belinda gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not deny it.
If she denied it and it was found out later that she was indeed related to Tina, it would be embarrassing!
In the end, Belinda picked up the microphone and said coldly, "Tina is my niece, but I can tell you frankly that I never thought about giving her any preferential treatment. I told her before I came that I couldn't help her with anything. If she wanted to debut, she would have to rely on her own talent. She said she knew that. Tina has been a child of character from a young age!"
Ebony nodded, "So that's the case. I'm relieved if Miss Bowman said so. It seems that Miss Bowman really never thought about favoring her niece at all, and it seems that Mr. Torres, as a junior of Miss Bowman in the same company, has never thought about opening a back door to Miss Bowman's niece."
Ebony continued, "It seems that Tina's move in the central position was indeed because of her own ability and Sarah Lynch's dozen of competition championships were all faked by the organizer."
"It seems that our show is fair and square, that's great, and I'm sincerely proud to be able to participate in such an inspiring and selfless show."
Before Ebony finished her sentence, Lloyd, who was next to her, put his hand on his forehead and could not help laughing out loud.
Lloyd's laugh made the audience burst into laughter all at once.
Belinda's and Victor's expressions instantly turned extremely sullen.
Ebony looked at Lloyd at this moment, and said with awe, "Mr. Vasquez, what's the matter with you? How can you laugh at Miss Bowman and Mr. Torres? They work so hard. In order to support their relatives, they can make up any nonsense. Isn't this kind of nonsense and eloquent spirit worthy of our admiration?"
Lloyd looked resignedly at Ebony, holding back a smile, "I'm sorry."
Ebony said seriously, "You mustn't apologize to me. You should apologize to Miss Bowman and Mr. Torres. Are they wrong for misusing their power to their own advantage? Are they guilty of cheating? I don't believe they're wrong. God did not punish them, they must be right!"
"Ebony Gibson, are you done yet?" Belinda had always prided herself on her identity and had never quarreled with Ebony.
But now, she was really pissed off.
Ebony looked at her blandly, nodded and said, "I'm done. The stage is yours. Please say whatever you want to say, Miss Bowman."
Belinda did not look at anyone else. She grabbed the microphone and just looked at Lloyd.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she said sadly, "Lloyd, are you just going to let her bully me like this?"
Belinda was aggrieved, and the first person she whined to was Lloyd.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Long live love in the spring!"
Love in the spring was the couple name for Lloyd's and Belinda's characters in Ancient Alley.
Tears flowed from Belinda's eyes as she listened to the shouts of the audience.
The camera focused on her face at the right time.
Belinda cried beautifully.
She was a professional actress and could cry whenever she wanted to.
Her eyes stared charmingly at Lloyd.
Lloyd picked up the microphone.
He looked at Belinda and said lightly, "Miss Bowman, there is one thing you need to understand. No matter what happens, I will only side with her."
After that, he added, "Besides, shouldn't anything that is unfair be voiced out? She dares to tell the truth, and this character is what I like the most about her."
