Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 112

Elsewhere, in Teresa's room.

With a loud smack, Teresa's palm harshly struck her assistant's face.

The assistant covered her slapped cheek, shivering with fright.

Teresa shouted angrily. "Why didn't you delete the photo?"

The assistant cried as she explained. "Teresa, I did delete it!"

"Deleted it? Then how did Egbert find it in your phone?"

The assistant shook her head desperately. "I don't know; I really don't know..."

"Incompetent!" Teresa screamed and slapped her assistant again.

The assistant didn't fight back; she only began sobbing quietly.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.

Teresa saw the caller ID and promptly answered. "Aurora, you finally called. Tell me, how should we handle this now?"

Teresa and Aurora talked for nearly ten minutes.

After hanging up, Teresa's expression visibly improved.

The assistant quickly asked. "Teresa, what happened?"

Teresa glanced at her and snorted. "You're lucky; Aurora went to beg Mr. Chad for help."

The assistant asked in surprise. "Mr. Chad?"

Teresa laughed. "Aurora really has her ways. Mr. Chad values Aurora a lot. To get her, Mr. Chad spent a whopping ten million on breach of contract and signing fees. Looks like we'll be welcoming a new boss lady soon."

The assistant sighed in relief. "I heard Mr. Chad has been pursuing Aurora."

Teresa nodded. "It's not surprising that Mr. Chad would like Aurora; she's the only one from our country who has been nominated for an Oscar."

Chad Lopez was having dinner with Blake Lopez when he received a call from Aurora.

He casually hung up, then turned to Blake across the table. "So, the DNA test results are in. Eileen is our sister, right?"

"Yes." Blake ate a piece of fish and took a sip of water before replying. "Genetic similarity, 99.99%."

Chad pursed his lips. "Actually, I've met her before."

Blake was taken aback.

Chad continued. "I thought she looked familiar, so I wanted to do a DNA test, but Sawyer messed up my plans with his nonsense."

Blake frowned. "Sawyer met her too?"

Chad snorted. "More than that, he even fell for her and wants to pursue her."

Blake was so shocked that he slammed his fork on the table.

Chad, always one for a good show, added. "Simon is even worse; he acted in a movie with her, playing her love interest."

"Ridiculous!" Blake was genuinely angry.

He picked up his phone, ready to make a call.

Chad stopped him, suggesting. "No use scolding them now. Do it in person; you might as well give them a good beating too."

Blake grumbled. "They're all so spoiled!"

Just then, Chad's phone rang again. It was still Aurora.

Chad declined her call immediately.

Blake glanced at him. "Business?"

Chad shook his head. "Aurora. You remember her, right?"

Blake thought for a moment, indicating he had no recollection.

"Remember the actress who was nominated for an Oscar with Egbert? There were rumors that they were a perfect match and childhood sweethearts. I was afraid they'd really get together, so I signed her to my company and had someone keep an eye on her."

Blake seemed to have no memory of this; he shook his head. "I don't care about other people's affairs, but you're the only one familiar with the entertainment industry in our family. You need to help in areas we can't cover. I asked Louie to offer Eileen a lead role in a movie, but she didn't take it and chose to play a supporting role instead. You need to think of a solution."

"Okay." Chad replied after a moment of silence. "I'll check which movie she's acting in."

Blake continued. "Resources are important, but what's more important is not to scare her. Egbert is right; we need to let her adjust slowly; we can't rush things or let her have a bad impression of us."

Chad nodded. "I know what to do."
