Chapter 294 Breaking News
Everyone turned to look at Enrique. Raymond chuckled and asked, "Can you handle it, bro?"
Enrique was torn. He blurted out, "Isn't this a bit too much?" If there was a forced backlash, Brenda would suffer way more than if she just gave back the Generational Blessings on her own. He couldn't bring himself to be that heartless.
Elizabeth heard him and scoffed, "So you can't handle it. If you can't, then there's nothing more to say. Let's just call it a day."
This was exactly what she expected. Enrique was always the brother who doted on Brenda the most, and he had given away the Generational Blessings before. The problem was, he hadn't hit rock bottom yet.
He needed to take a major hit to understand what real ruthlessness was.
Raymond rolled his eyes and said, "What a waste of time. You siblings are just messing with us. Let's bounce; this is pointless."
Enrique couldn't be ruthless now, but he was definitely gonna regret it later.
Kevin looked bummed out and said, "Enrique, take care of yourself from now on." It had come to this, and Enrique still couldn't pull the trigger. They were out of options.
No one had anything to add, and Enrique, annoyed by Kevin's comment, snapped back, "Brenda is your sister too. If you were in my shoes, could you be so cold?"
Kevin shot back, "If she did that to me first, why not? I'd just be giving her a taste of her own medicine."
If Brenda hadn't schemed first, there wouldn't be any backlash. So wasn't she asking for it? If she could be so ruthless, why couldn't they learn from her?
Enrique paused and said, "Anyway, I can't be as ruthless as you."
Kevin shrugged. "Then keep suffering; it's your call."
Enrique said, "After the show ends, I'll have a good talk with her. Then decide whether to use this method."
Kevin sneered, "Fine, but don't come crying when you regret it."
Enrique frowned. "Why are you being so harsh? Can't you just talk nicely?"
He could take Elizabeth's constant digs because he owed her, which had strained their relationship. But Kevin's attitude was just too much.
Kevin sighed, "If it makes you happy, that's it" When Enrique regretted it, he'd have to deal with it himself. Then he sipped his coffee, clearly done with the conversation.
Seeing this, Enrique ignored him too. He turned to Zachary. "Zachary, after the show ends, can I ask you to help sort this out?"
Zachary looked at him coolly. "Depends on my schedule. I might not be free." He wasn't at anyone's beck and call.
If it weren't for Brenda's recent tricks, he was ready to teach her a lesson; otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped in to help the indecisive Enrique.
Enrique smiled apologetically. "No problem, I'll wait until you're free." He planned to have a good talk with Brenda later and sort it out more peacefully.
Zachary nodded and said no more.
Everyone else was speechless. They could all see that Brenda had been scheming from the start. But they didn't expect Enrique to be so conflicted and indecisive. At the same time, they sighed that Enrique was indeed too good to Brenda, still tolerating and pampering her like this.
The viewers in the live stream were also speechless.
[Enrique is way too nice.]
[I'm shook, Brenda is clearly playing him, how could she be willing to return the Generational Blessings?]
[He can't be ruthless now; I have a feeling he'll regret it later.]
[For sure, he will definitely regret it.]
[He's too good to Brenda, still tolerating and pampering her like this.]
[It also shows how differently he treats Brenda and Elizabeth.]
[Could there be something more between them?]
[I think so too, but there's no proof.]
So the chat in the live stream shifted from Brenda's sneaky move of borrowing Generational Blessings to roasting Enrique for being a fool. Enrique wasbeen totally played by Brenda, and it looked like he was gonna be her puppet until the end. Finally, they started wondering if their relationship was more than it seemed.

As soon as this Facebook post went live, everyone clicked to watch. And then they saw the bombshell.
Herman's team also quickly posted several Facebook updates read as, "Famous New Director Enrique and His Brenda's Stories," "Shocking, Famous Director Enrique and Popular Actress Brenda Have This Kind of Relationship," quickly pushing the hype.

[I saw it; I'm shook.]
[No wonder Enrique is always looking out for Brenda; turns out they're involved like that.]

[But who knows what went down when Brenda wasn't hurt.]
[This is wild, this news was hinted at in the last episode.]
[No wonder Enrique is still protecting Brenda after all this.]
[Got it; now we know why Enrique is so soft.]
[I just gotta say, Enrique really knows how to play, impressive!]
[How many admirers does Brenda have?]
[Every time there's big news, Brenda's got some intimate moments with these brothers, impressive!]
[Among the Clark Family brothers, it seems only Loren hasn't shown up yet.]
[Maybe he hasn't done these things with Brenda, or it just hasn't come out.]
[Looking forward to Loren's news.]
[I'll spill some more tea.]
[Loren was recently dumped by his fiancée because of Brenda; think about that.]
[Right now, I just gotta say, Brenda is something else, taking down all five Clark Family brothers.]
[And there's Eugene too.]
[Besides these guys, who knows how many admirers she has.]
[The Clark Family really knows how to play. It's like they're not raising a mistress for five sons, but five sons are Brenda's lovers.]
[The Clark Family is officially cursed.]
[I wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Clark think after seeing this.]
[What can they think? Maybe they're even happy; their sons finally all got played by Brenda.]
[They deserve it. They treated Elizabeth like trash, now they're getting what they deserve.]
The live stream chat was all about this, also telling those who hadn't seen the headlines to check them out. After watching the video, they came back to discuss it heatedly.
