Chapter 148 Impressive
Brenda saw the group chat photos and found out Elizabeth made some money.
She was insanely jealous.
Elizabeth even knew fencing and won first place.
Who knew if it was rigged or if there was some inside story?
They were busting their butts and only made less than 300 Veridiania currency, so why did Elizabeth get 15,000?
But no matter how upset or jealous she was, she had to hide it.
Otherwise, Elizabeth's fans would tear her apart.
She looked at Kevin and Arnold, asking, "Elizabeth knows fencing?"
Both brothers shook their heads. "We had no idea."
They realized they knew very little about Elizabeth.
Arnold saw the photos Raymond posted and the hotel they booked, feeling super jealous.
Elizabeth took two outsiders but didn't take any family members. It was maddening!
If they had that 15,000 Veridiania currency, they wouldn't have to work so hard performing.
They'd been singing and dancing for ages and only made less than 300 Veridiania currency.
What could they do with that little money?
Arnold couldn't help but say sarcastically, "She's really something now, doesn't even consider us as her family."
Kevin quickly gave him a look. "She is indeed quite impressive."
This was a live stream, and Arnold's words could easily get him scolded by Elizabeth's fans.
Plus, their kinship had never been revealed before in the entertainment industry.
Now Arnold's words just exposed that he was also Elizabeth's brother.
Great, now Kevin wouldn't be the only one getting scolded in the live stream.
Sure enough, as soon as Arnold spoke, everyone was shocked.
[Ah, Arnold is also Elizabeth's brother?]
[We never thought of that before.]
[The Clark family is quite impressive: a top agent, the most popular superstar, and the most popular singer.]
[Impressive, but a bit lacking in self-awareness.]
[Elizabeth has already cut ties with the Clark family, isn't it too late for Arnold to acknowledge her now?]
[The key point is that he's being sarcastic, as if Elizabeth wronged them.]
[I never liked Arnold before, he seemed very arrogant, and now I just dislike him even more.]
[Just now, he helped Brenda with her dress and wiped her sweat, looking so doting. I thought he was pursuing Brenda, but who knew...]
[Just another brother of Brenda's.]
[It's fine if they dote on Brenda, but why do they have to scold Elizabeth?]
[No wonder Elizabeth cut ties with these brothers, they all target her for Brenda.]
[I'm not a fan of Elizabeth, but I have to say, Arnold disgusted me.]
Elizabeth's fans came out to mock Arnold.
Arnold's fans didn't expect that he was actually Elizabeth's biological brother.
But being mocked like this, they naturally wouldn't take it, so they started to scold back.
They implied that Elizabeth didn't do well herself, otherwise why wouldn't Arnold like her?
He treated Brenda well because Brenda was more considerate.
Who said a brother must be good to his sister? Arnold just liked Brenda, so what?
These words left the viewers speechless.
It could only be said that the kind of idol attracted the kind of fans.
And Arnold's sarcastic attitude clearly showed he was jealous that Elizabeth took Raymond and the other person to have fun but didn't take them.
Shouldn't he reflect on their own attitude towards Elizabeth first?
Soon, the shocking news headline blared across screens: "Talented Singer Arnold Revealed to Be Elizabeth's Biological Brother."
Then more people flocked to the live stream to watch the drama.
On the other side, Elizabeth's group arrived at the hotel and checked in.
Raymond usually stayed at hotels of this level at the minimum when traveling, often staying at even better ones, but he never took photos, let alone posted them for others to see.
But now he took a few photos of the room and posted them in the group chat.
Raymond: [The room's environment and comfort are okay, I'll make do here for the night!]
Nancy, Ronald and Marlon rolled their eyes when they saw his message. Once Raymond started showing off, he couldn't stop.
Kevin: [Get lost.]
Arnold couldn't hold back either: [Get lost.]
Brenda was super jealous. No way they could afford that hotel, no matter how much they earned today.
But she didn't want to message in the group chat; it would seem like she was praising Elizabeth.
Eugene felt even worse seeing all this and stayed silent too.
Raymond really lucked out.
Elizabeth saw Raymond's annoying message and smiled.
She tagged Raymond in the group chat.
Elizabeth: [Impressive.]
Her words were filled with a sense of doting, making Arnold and Eugene even more uncomfortable and jealous.
Elizabeth was too indulgent with Raymond.
No wonder Raymond was getting more and more smug.
[Haha, impressive, Elizabeth sees it clearly!]
[Elizabeth really dotes on Raymond!]
[Wow, their interaction is so sweet, what should I do?]
[They seem so well-matched.]
[Raymond never showed off before, but now wherever Elizabeth is, he has to show off.]
[Exactly, he just wants to flaunt how great it feels to be in Elizabeth's group.]
[Elizabeth really dotes on Raymond! She indulges him in everything.]
[Shouldn't Raymond take care of Elizabeth as a man? Why does it feel like Elizabeth is doting on Raymond, and Raymond is shamelessly enjoying it?]
[Did you notice, Raymond's eyes light up when he looks at Elizabeth.]
[Noticed long ago, Raymond is such a Golden Retriever boy around Elizabeth, always speaking nicely and never arrogant. It is not his usual style.]
[This is love!]
[Raymond needs someone like Elizabeth to handle him.]
[Elizabeth is so impressive, she's not suited for someone like Eugene with a cold demeanor. Instead, Raymond, who can make her happy every day, is more suitable.]
[So sweet.]
At this moment, everyone ignored Raymond's impressive background and his status as the most popular star, thinking he was relying on Elizabeth's help.
Arnold's fans couldn't help but scold Raymond, saying he was too bad and should be beaten up.
They were also jealous, thinking it would be better if Elizabeth was in their idol's group.
Elizabeth's group took an afternoon nap.
The other two groups still had to work hard to earn money.
Ronald and Nancy had already anticipated that Elizabeth's group would not follow the conventional rules.
So they were in a good mood.
After consulting Marlon, the three of them went to find hourly work.
They couldn't handle singing and dancing anymore.
On the way, they got help from a kind resident living in Veridiania.
He helped them find a temporary job handing out flyers.
For three hours of work, wearing mascot costumes, each person would earn 100 Veridiania currency.
In Veridiania, such physical labor paid quite well.
Of course, it also required an introduction. If they looked for it themselves, it wouldn't be easy to find and wouldn't pay as well.
Brenda and her group lost interest in street performance too.
It was not only tiring but also didn't earn much money.
So Brenda suggested finding temporary work at a high-end restaurant, like playing the piano or violin.
She graduated from a music academy and was skilled in these instruments.
It would also showcase her versatile talents.
The other three didn't object.
Brenda's group was lucky. A local high-end restaurant's pianist was sick.
They found a job playing the piano and violin.
Brenda and Arnold could do both, while Eugene and Kevin could play the piano.
Moreover, they were quite famous, and many of the restaurant's customers were their fans.
The restaurant manager was very pleased.
However, the production team required that they couldn't cheat by using their fame to get a high pay rate.
So the manager offered them 250 Veridiania currency per hour each.
Compared to performing on the street, it was much better.
Arnold couldn't resist and posted a message in the group chat to show off.
By then, Elizabeth's group had woken up and gathered.
Seeing Arnold's message, Elizabeth grinned mischievously at the two and said, "Why don't we go to that restaurant for dinner?"
One group was workers, while the other was customers; the contrast would be too strong.
She hoped Brenda wouldn't cry from anger.
