Chapter 190 It Definitely Won't Be a Coincidence
Natalie was a new artist who debuted this year through a talent show.
Not only did she win the talent show, but her popularity also surpassed the others.
She signed with a major entertainment company, not the Clark Entertainment.
Elizabeth looked at Natalie, who was standing beside Arthur, smiling sweetly and charmingly.
Just considering Natalie's last name, Elizabeth couldn't help but associate her with Samuel and Brenda.
Natalie and Brenda didn't look alike at all. Elizabeth made a point to observe her from the side, but still, she found no resemblance.
Elizabeth then carefully examined Natalie's sense of destiny.
She discovered that Natalie's sense of destiny had been deliberately concealed, and her outward appearance was a facade.
Now that her own abilities had improved, she could see through the disguise on Natalie's face.
She also confirmed from the sense of destiny that Natalie was indeed Brenda's sister.
This matched what Percy had mentioned before that Brenda originally had a brother and a sister.
However, she made another unexpected discovery.
From the sense of destiny, Brenda and Natalie were actually twins.
They didn't look alike, probably because they were fraternal twins.
Natalie carried a similar Generational Blessings aura as Brenda.
But the feeling was somewhat different from Brenda's.
It was unclear what Natalie's purpose was in coming as a temporary guest.
But it definitely wasn't a coincidence.
After Arthur introduced Natalie, he looked at the stars and said, "Brenda will be absent from the upcoming live streaming due to her injury, so Natalie will join one of your groups."
As soon as he finished speaking, Raymond said, "Both of our groups already have female members. Right now, Eugene's group is the only one missing a female member."
He was very satisfied with the current trio and didn't want to add another person.
Nancy's group felt the same; their trio was becoming more and more coordinated, and adding another person would require re-adjustment.
So she agreed, "Yes, a mix of men and women makes work less tiring!"
Eugene and the Clark brothers were not very welcoming to the idea of adding a female guest.
They didn't even want to put in the effort themselves, let alone mentor a newcomer.
They were about to politely decline and suggest sending Natalie to Raymond's group.
They thought Raymond needed another female member to take care of him, so he wouldn't always be pestering Elizabeth.
However, before they could speak, Arthur smiled and said, "That's right. Both groups already have female members, so Eugene's group needs one too."
He looked at Eugene and the Clark brothers and asked, "So, could Natalie join your group?"
The three were silent. Could they refuse?
From Arthur's tone, it seemed he had already decided to place Natalie in their group.
Eugene looked at the Clark brothers and saw them nod.
So he said to Arthur, "Alright."
He then coldly but politely said to Natalie, "Welcome!"
The Clark brothers also smiled. "Welcome!"
Natalie politely smiled and said, "Looking forward to working with you all."
She also smiled and greeted the other groups.
Elizabeth politely returned the greeting.
Despite having some issues, Natalie had never interacted with Elizabeth before.
Elizabeth wouldn't be foolish enough to target a newcomer in public, nor was she that rude.
As long as Natalie didn't provoke her, she wouldn't take any action.
After all, they had no grudges, and she didn't know what kind of person Natalie was yet.
Then the three groups went about their activities.
Nancy's group continued working.
Elizabeth's group decided to keep exploring the area with the live streaming viewers.
Before leaving, Elizabeth found an opportunity to avoid the live streaming camera and chatted with Arthur for a bit.
She smiled and asked, "Arthur, was Natalie a pre-arranged temporary guest?"
Arthur replied, "No, it was supposed to be another female guest. But after everything was settled, she got injured yesterday and couldn't come. So someone introduced Natalie."
Just as Elizabeth had expected, it must have been because Samuel was captured and Brenda was injured and couldn't participate in the upcoming live streaming.
So the people behind the scenes decided to join Natalie in at the last minute.
She asked, "Is that person okay?"
Arthur replied, "Nothing serious. Just a minor car accident that dislocated their hand."
Elizabeth nodded. "Glad to hear that."
After a bit more small talk, Elizabeth's group left, leaving Eugene's group behind.
Arnold asked, "Shall we continue playing the piano?"
Having decided to give up trying until the last day, Eugene and Kevin nodded. "Sure!"
The three of them weren't enthusiastic about Natalie, nor did they feel like taking care of her.
They weren't the considerate type to begin with.
So they decided on today's activities without her consent.
Natalie didn't mind and was very supportive of the three.
She didn't proactively make any suggestions either.
With Brenda as a comparison, the live streaming viewers had a pretty good impression of Natalie.
However, when the four of them went to the restaurant, they were told that the pianist who had taken leave had returned, which meant their temporary job was gone.
Arnold, suppressing his frustration, asked, "If we can't do this job, what should we do?"
Kevin shrugged. "No idea."
Eugene, lacking enthusiasm, said, "I have no idea, either."
Natalie suggested, "How about we become tour guides and translators? I've been to Veridiania before and noticed that many tourist spots lack adequate translation. We can go to the places where we need to complete tasks, do the tasks while having fun, and make money at the same time."
Arnold said, "That's actually a good way to make money. But our Veridianian isn't very fluent."
Among the Clark brothers, only Loren was proficient in several foreign languages.
For languages like Veridianian, they could manage simple conversations, but being tour guides and translators was out of the question.
Natalie smiled and said, "We don't need to be very fluent in Veridianian; we can target domestic tourists. First, we can tour the spots ourselves, noting the unique and fun places. Then we can take domestic tourists there and introduce the spots to them. Of course, we'll still need someone fluent in Veridianian to assist, and Eugene can do that."
This suggestion was accepted by the three.
So, following Natalie's suggestion, they went to a large tourist spot.
Gradually, Natalie took control and led the group.
Of course, this was also because the three weren't putting in much effort.
Under Natalie's guidance, the group earned several thousand Veridianian currency that day.
The live streaming viewers noticed that Natalie was fluent in Veridianian, had great communication skills, and was very personable.
She was also very meticulous, taking detailed notes at each place they visited.
This made their subsequent tour guide work go smoothly.
She was respectful to the other three but didn't cling to them, maintaining a proper distance.
This further improved everyone's impression of Natalie.
In the hospital, Brenda, unable to participate in the subsequent live streaming, had asked the production team for her phone back.
She was anxious because she couldn't reach her two brothers.So she opened the live streaming to watch.
When she saw Natalie appear, Brenda was full of surprise.
‘How did Natalie end up as a temporary guest?’ she thought.
Despite being twin sisters, they didn’t get along and were even quite hostile towards each other.
Natalie had been weak and sickly since birth.
So, their parents and Samuel had always been more concerned about Natalie.
Brenda was very jealous and disliked Natalie.
Moreover, when the Clark family wanted to adopt a daughter, her mother had planned to send Natalie to the Clark family.
This upset Brenda even more.
Her original family wasn't wealthy, so why should Natalie get to enjoy life with the Clark family while she had to suffer at home?
So, the day before Natalie was supposed to go to the Clark family, Brenda secretly opened the window, causing Natalie to catch a severe cold.
Natalie got seriously ill and was hospitalized.
As a result, Brenda ended up going to the Clark family instead.
For the next decade or so, Brenda and Natalie's lives were vastly different.
Brenda grew up as a pampered heiress, loved by Betty and the Clark brothers.
Natalie, on the other hand, was just an ordinary girl from a regular family.
Every time Brenda thought about it, she was immensely grateful for the decision she had made back then.
Now seeing Natalie taking her place made her feel uncomfortable.
Especially seeing that Elizabeth wasn't targeting Natalie, she felt even more frustrated.
Wasn't Elizabeth usually very tough? Why not go after Natalie?
She tried to contact Samuel, but his phone was unreachable.
Unable to hold back, she called Piper Parker.
