Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 29 

When Hubery heard Eileen’s voice, he couldn’t help but frown, his face full of anger. His gaze was full of hatred, focusing sharply on Eileen 

Eileen calmly met his gaze, seemingly unaffected by his hostile stare. She seemed to have anticipated his casual look, and he dared not say anything. Yes, Hubery dared not say anything even though he deeply detested Eileen in his heart and wanted everyone to know her wrongdoings. He couldn’t utter a single word 

If he did, people would ask why Eileen treated him so. Was he going to admit that he sacrificed his fiancée for his career. 

Whether it was about the director or his fiancée, he couldn’t disclose it publicly. He could only bear all the pain himself. 

Hubery felt incredibly resentful and angry. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t change the situation. 

When the owner of the villa returned and heard about this, they immediately arranged a guest room and clean clothes for Hubery Hubery took a bath, still raging with anger. When he came out, he saw his assistant sneaking in. 

“Hubery, this is your phone.” The assistant handed him a phone. 

The production crew took away the guests‘ personal phones, but many guests had assistants with them. So, if there was something important, people outside would contact the assistant, who would then relay the message to the quest. 

Hubery frowned. The incident of him falling into the water had been broadcast live, so he guessed the call must’ve been from his manager 

He took the phone from his assistant with an annoyed look, and just said, “Hello“… 

On the other side of the phone, a heavy male voice came. “Hubery” 

Hubery was immediately taken aback. “Mr. Lopez?* 

In the end, Hubery’s issue was chalked up to his personal negligence. 

The production crew didn’t delve into it, and it seemed Hubery himself had no intention of pursuing it 

But there were already a lot of negative comments online. For example, netizens suspected that Phyllis and Bblythe prevented the crew from going to the garden because they saw Josiah bullying Hubery and were trying to cover up for Josiah. After all, only Josiah and Hubery were in the garden at the 

time 

The production crew asked Hubery in front of the camera if this was true. 

Hubery put on a friendly face and laughed. “Of course not. I was too embarrassed when I fell into the water. Phyllis and Bblythe probably didn’t want to see my embarrassing state, so they stopped them. As for Josiah, how could he bully me? If it wasn’t for him, I might have frozen to death in the pool. I should be thanking him.” 

Hubery sounded very sincere. But Josiah, Bblythe, and Phyllis all looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, they weren’t actually trying to help Hubery at the time, but Eileen 

Eileen watched Hubery’s performance with a calm expression, but her brows furrowed. Hubery was clearly very angry before taking a bath, but his attitude changed to become more gentle after the bath. Why was that? She didn’t believe that Hubery was no longer angry about the previous incident, and she certainly didn’t believe that the narrow–minded Hubery would thank Josiah and the others. 

His behavior was very abnormal. Did he have another plan? 

That afternoon, Eileen took everyone to visit two more tourist spots. And the mission of visiting five tourist spot was completed. 

As long as everyone spent the night in the villa, they could finish recording the next morning and then return home. 

Eileen thought Hubery was resentful towards her and would create some conflict when visiting the two spots in the afternoon. But Hubery was very cooperative and even actively helped the girls carry things. He was like an ordinary person, seeming to have completely forgotten what happened at noon. But this was absolutely not his character! 

“What is he planning?” Eileen whispered. 

“Do you like him that much?” On the bus back, Eileen, who was observing Hubery, suddenly heard a cold male voice next to her. 

She paused, turning around 

After what happened at noon, Eileen felt that Egbert had forgiven her for her rude words from yesterday. So, on the way back, she insisted on sitting next. to Egbert. She wanted to get closer to him. 

They didn’t communicate until now when Egbert finally spoke. 

Eileen quickly looked at him and asked, “What did you just say?” 

Egbert frowned, using his eyes to hint at Eileen to look at Hubery 

“Hubery” Wait, you said I like him?” Eileen became very angry. She looked at Egbert. “Mr. Reed, even if you’re still mad at me, you can’t insult me with such cruel words, right?” 

Egbert glanced at her. “You’ve been staring at him.” 

Tim not staring at him. I’m observing him,” Eileen explained. “Didn’t your teacher teach you this in school? The teacher would place a piece of animal waste in a petri dish and let the students observe how it ferments and turns into organic fertilizer. Did you take that class?” 

Egben.” No. 

Elleen pointed forward at Hubery. “Well, you can make up for that lesson now” 

Her insult’s were truly unique. No one else had heard them before. 

Egbert rubbed his brow. “Why did you hit him?” 

There was definitely a private feud between the two, but Egbert didn’t understand what kind of grudge would make Eileen target Hubery so blatantly on 

the show. 

“No reason.” Eileen said lazily. When I hit Hubery. I feel happy. If I keep hitting Hubery, I’ll keep feeling happy You can try it too when you have time, it’s a great stress–relieving exercise” 

Seeing she had no intention of explaining, Egbert didn’t ask further. 

In the evening, even though they were just couch surfers, the host couple still kindly arranged guest rooms for them. 

Still, boys in one room, girls in another 

Considering it wasn’t exactly a hotel standard room and there weren’t that many beds in the guest rooms, they decided to have three girls in one bed, and three boys, with Hubery on the bed, Josiah on the floor, and Egbert on the sofa 

Hubery was being a gentleman, insisting not to take the bed, but he had spent a long time in the fountain during the day, and by nightfall, he was running a mild fever. Josiah wanted to take care of him, so he suggested letting him have the bed, and Egbert didn’t object. 

In the girls room, after Eileen had taken a bath, she saw two people on either side of the two–meter–wide bed, but the middle was empty. She stood by the bed, looking at Bblythe and Phyllis, who were smiling at her. 

Phyllis shyly patted the middle of the bed, saying, “Eileen, come” 

“Don’t call me like that,” Eileen replied coldly, then walked to the sofa on the other side. “You guys take the bed. I’ll take the sofa” 

“The sofa is too narrow!” Phyllis sat up, “Just sleep in the bed, we can all sleep together.” 

Eileen sat on the sofa and lay down straight away. 

“Eileen…” 

Eileen closed her eyes and warned coldly. “If you keep calling me like that, you’ll be the next one in the fountain!” 

Phyllis felt very wronged. 

Eileen had already started to get ready for bed. Suddenly, sobbing sounds filled the room. Eileen frowned and opened her eyes, seeing Bblythe comforting Phyllis on the bed, who was now crying her eyes out. 

Eileen sat up, looking very displeased at Phyllis 

Phyllis looked at Eileen and suddenly started crying even harder. 

This situation continued for a full five minutes, and in the end, Eileen went over to the bed. 

Bblythe smiled and pulled back the covers. “Come on, if you don’t, she’s going to soak the quilt with her tears” 

Eventually, Eileen laid down between the two of them. As soon as Eileen lay down, she closed her eyes, but she could still feel Phyllis watching her. 

Eileen felt uncomfortable all over, at this moment, Bblythe sighed next to her. “Phyllis probably won’t be coming to the show next time.”
