Chapter 120 What Do They Take Her For?
Richard's chest hurt even more from the anger.
He looked at Brenda and asked, "Seen the headlines?"
Brenda was confused. "What headlines?"
She had a bad feeling.
Richard handed her the phone. "Check it out."
Brenda read it, and her face went pale.
She had just been thrilled about landing the lead role in that hit fantasy series, and that she could also harm Elizabeth in the process.
Who would've thought the role she got was one Elizabeth had turned down?
She felt awful.
She had picked up a role Elizabeth didn't want. How infuriating!
Was Elizabeth out of her mind? Choosing the second female lead over the first?
Seeing Brenda's change in expression, Richard believed she really didn't know.
But it made him feel even more foolish, having been mocked by Elizabeth.
With a cold face, he said, "So, you wanted me to embarrass myself in front of Elizabeth?"
Brenda was already feeling upset.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't know it would turn out like this, Richard. Are you taking it out on me?"
Richard raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't I be scolding you? I've been embarrassed in front of Elizabeth several times, and it's always related to you. Brenda, I know you have your little schemes, but don't always use me."
Before Elizabeth left the Clark family, he thought she was always secretly taking Brenda's things and bullying her.
But after these incidents and seeing Elizabeth's straightforward personality, he realized if she wanted to harm Brenda, she wouldn't do it secretly, and her methods wouldn't be so low-level.
He slowly realized he and his brothers had been manipulated by Brenda, becoming tools in her hands.
Although he felt uncomfortable, Brenda was his sister whom he had loved for over ten years, so he still indulged her.
But thinking about Elizabeth's mockery just now, his face darkened again.
Not only had he been beaten and outsmarted by Elizabeth, but he was also being used by Brenda, which made him feel humiliated.
Brenda's expression changed slightly. "I didn't, Richard. How could you misunderstand me like this?"
Richard looked at her. "You know very well whether it's a misunderstanding or not. Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I need to rest."
He was very irritated now and didn't want to see her.
Brenda noticed that Richard had changed a lot. It must be that bitch Elizabeth stirring things up.
"Richard, I'm just angry for you. Although the role I got was one Elizabeth didn't want, it's still a lead role. But Charles had clearly promised you that he would give me the lead role, and now he deliberately let Elizabeth choose first. Isn't that an insult to you?"
After reading the headlines, Brenda was conflicted about whether to still play the lead role.
She quickly decided to play it and to do better than Elizabeth.
Since Elizabeth chose to play a villainous supporting role, she would let Elizabeth have her way, and they would be compared.
That matched her original plan.
But the way she got the role was hard for her to accept.
In the dream, the lead role in this series became very popular, and the second female lead also gained a lot of attention.
So if she played the lead role, she would definitely become popular too.
As for the second female lead, as long as the script was changed, she would become very unlikeable.
And to change the script, she needed Richard's help.
In the past, if Richard had heard these words, he would definitely have been provoked.
But ever since he kept losing to Elizabeth,he was no longer so arrogant and not so easily provoked.
He asked back, "What do you want to achieve by saying this?"
Brenda hugged Richard's arm and leaned in. "Richard, since Charles humiliated you, you should make some demands. He won't refuse."
Richard almost laughed. They always thought Brenda was innocent, but she had plenty of schemes.
He asked, "What demands should I make of Charles?"
Because Richard had always pampered Brenda, she didn't notice anything wrong, just thought he was in pain and in a bad mood.
So she shared her thoughts. "Richard, ask Charles to change the script. The second female lead has too few scenes. Ask them to add more."
And she explained how to add them.
Richard had never realized before how scheming Brenda was.
He asked again, "Do you know why Charles, who promised me before, now let Elizabeth choose first? And when talking to Raymond, he didn't hesitate to humiliate me?"
Brenda thought for a moment. "Is it because of Elizabeth? Charles knows she's your biological sister, so he did this."
Richard shook his head. "No. When I asked for this role for you, I forced him to give it to you as a favor. Charles wanted another actress for the lead and had already contacted her. But I pressured him to use you. Naturally, he wasn't happy, but at that time, I hadn't had any issues, and your reputation wasn't so bad. So he compromised."
He paused. "Now I've been suppressed by Clark Entertainment, and your reputation isn't great either, so he did this on purpose."
Charles wasn't a good-tempered person.
Back then, Richard had used the power of Clark Entertainment to pressure Charles.
Now Charles was taking revenge.
And now, even if they went to trouble Charles, it wouldn't work because he did cast Brenda as the lead.
He added, "From this, you can see he thinks Elizabeth is more valuable than you."
Brenda's face changed. This was the reason she least wanted to accept.
She leaned on his shoulder and looked up at him with hopeful eyes. "Richard, then if you ask him to change the script, he should help, right?"
In the past, whenever she acted like this, her brothers would agree to her requests.
But Richard gave a self-mocking smile, pushed Brenda away from his arm.
With one hand, he pinched Brenda's chin, his eyes cold. "Brenda, did you not hear what I just said?"
Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you want to sleep with me, I don't mind. But if you want to use me again, I don't know what I'll do to you."
He touched Brenda's eyebrows with his other hand. "I still prefer the obedient, soft Brenda from before."
Richard's breath on her ear made Brenda feel a chill down her spine.
She always knew that among her brothers, Richard appeared gentle and elegant but was actually ruthless and moody.
Now his words made her feel he was a bit perverted.
At this moment, Richard let go of Brenda's chin.
Brenda trembled and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
She looked at him with eyes full of humiliation. "And we're siblings, how could I sleep with you?"
How could Richard see her like this?
What did he take her for?
Richard raised an eyebrow. "But haven't you always acted like we have an improper relationship?"
He hadn't thought much of their closeness with Brenda before.
But after being stopped by Betty, mentioned by Eugene, and pointed out by Hubert yesterday that his relationship with Brenda was improper, he suddenly realized how abnormal their relationship seemed to others.
And then he couldn't help but suspect that Brenda didn't see him as a brother but had ulterior motives toward him.
