Chapter 152 The Perfect Time Has Come
Arnold was very angry and went to sit in the employee break area.
If the violin in his hand wasn't the restaurant's, and if he had a bit less self-control, he would have smashed it.
Not long after, he saw Brenda walk in with red eyes and a sullen face.
Because he was in a bad mood, he didn't go over to comfort her this time.
Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why don't you play another song?"
Brenda used to find it satisfying when Arnold spoke sarcastically to others.
But now that it was directed at her, she found it harsh.
She knew she couldn't fall out with Arnold over this and throw a tantrum.
She knew the Clark brothers very well.
They did spoil her, but if she threw tantrums all the time, they wouldn't have the patience to always indulge her.
Just like Richard, who didn't care about her anymore.
So she tearfully said, "Arnold, that was a live stream. If we had just walked out, the fans and viewers would have been furious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tolerated Elizabeth's humiliation."
Seeing Brenda like this, Arnold's anger towards her subsided a lot.
The live stream cameraman hadn't followed them in yet.
So he reached out and pulled Brenda over, letting her sit on his lap.
He wrapped his arms around her and said, "Alright, stop crying. When we get the chance, we'll humiliate her back."
This was the first time in his life he had been so humiliated, and it was by Elizabeth.
He didn't know if the 100 Veridiania currency tip would be seen by someone he knew and if they would mock him for it when he got back.
Brenda leaned into his arms, sobbing. "I just feel awful."
She pretended not to understand and asked, "We're family, why does she treat us like this?"
Arnold felt uncomfortable hearing this.
He angrily said, "We treat her like family, but she treats us like enemies."
Why had their family become like this?
Brenda heard the anger and frustration in his voice.
So she continued, "If she really can't stand me, she can just target me. Why does she have to humiliate you too? After the recording of this episode ends, I'll leave the Clark family when I get back to Clifftonshireburg. That way, Elizabeth might be willing to return to the Clark family and stop taking it out on you guys."
Arnold was impulsive, and Brenda said this hoping he would cause more trouble for Elizabeth during the live stream.
Arnold had always thought Elizabeth was just being deliberately difficult.
He thought she wanted them to apologize so she could return to the Clark family.
But ever since Kevin was harmed, Richard was beaten, Eugene was dumped, and he was scolded, he wasn't so sure anymore.
He sighed, "She's been hanging out with Raymond too much, becoming more and more arrogant and willful. The more we indulge her, the more arrogant she becomes. Let her throw her tantrums. Once we curb her arrogance, she'll come back to the Clark family obediently. You're our sister too; there's no need for you to leave. When she comes to her senses and returns, you two can get along, and she'll see your good side."
He had always hoped Elizabeth would come home, even though he had just been humiliated by her.
After all, Elizabeth was his biological sister; how could he let her wander outside?
But Elizabeth was indeed becoming more and more willful and couldn't be indulged any longer.
Otherwise, when she came home, she would bully them every day.
Why couldn't Elizabeth be as obedient and well-behaved as Brenda?
Elizabeth was already rebellious, and hanging out with someone like Raymond only made her worse.
It was troubling.
Brenda was speechless. What did Elizabeth's arrogance have to do with Raymond?
Arnold was really good at finding excuses for Elizabeth.
Just as she was about to speak, the cameraman walked in.
Then the audience saw Brenda sitting on Arnold's lap, being held by him.
She was leaning into his arms.
[Wow, this is intense!]
[Tsk tsk, after being driven away, they came here to have a tryst.]
[Seeing how close they are, have they already gone from siblings to lovers?]
[I've never hugged my boyfriend like this in public. Their relationship must be complicated.]
[Last episode, she was in Kevin's arms, and now she's in Arnold's. Brenda is something else.]
[She's not an adopted daughter; she's clearly a lover.]
[Could she be a lover the Clark family raised for their sons?]
[No way, it's a monogamous society. Can two brothers marry the same woman?]
[Is this something we should be watching?]
[Oh, Brenda suddenly stood up and moved away from Arnold.]
[We all saw it; there's no need to hide.]
[Wonder what Kevin, who's still playing the piano outside, will think when he sees this.]
[Join them and take action.]
This time, it wasn't the cameraman's fault for the sudden intrusion.
There had been some equipment issues earlier, and after the tech team fixed it, he came in to continue the live stream.
Who would have thought he'd catch such an intense scene?
When the cameraman came in, Brenda quickly stood up and wiped her tears with a tissue.
She smiled at the live stream camera.
She looked like she had just been wronged and was trying to be strong.
If it weren't for the earlier scene of Brenda being held by Arnold, many people might have felt sympathy for her.
But now, everyone thought she was too good at pretending.
Arnold was handsome, and with the previous marketing by the Clark Entertainment Company, he was one of the most popular stars in the music industry, with many fans.
Most of them were female fans.
These fans had always supported Brenda, attacking Elizabeth and Raymond's fans.
But now, they were all in an uproar.
Not only did they not sympathize with Brenda, but they also started cursing her in the comments and bullet screens.
[This shameless Brenda, seducing Arnold.]
[My God, Brenda is so shameless. That's her brother!]
[Last episode, she seduced Kevin, and now she's seducing Arnold. Brenda, when will it end?]
[What a hypocritical woman, making me sick.]
[What kind of sister sits on her brother's lap? Brenda, stay away from Arnold.]
[Arnold must have been deceived by her.]
[Brenda looks pure in public but is shameless in private.]
Not only were Arnold's fans cursing her, but Kevin's fans couldn't hold back either.
Last episode, Brenda had caused Kevin to be scolded.
And with their close relationship, many fans speculated that they might be a couple in private.
But then it was suddenly revealed that Brenda had come between Eugene and Elizabeth, causing their breakup.
They started to dislike Brenda.
But they still saw Brenda as Kevin's girlfriend.
Who knew they would now see Brenda not only in Arnold's arms but also sitting on his lap?
Kevin's fans were furious.
What did Brenda take Kevin for?
Did she want to be ambiguous with two men?
She was dreaming!
Herman and his team had been watching the live stream, waiting for an opportunity.
When they saw the two hugging, they quickly recorded the video and took screenshots.
Herman sent a message in the team group chat: [The perfect time has come. Release the news.]
