Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 140

Eileen's eyes were sparkling with excitement.

She looked at Aurora and asked sincerely, "Tell me, if you snuff out a candle with your fingers, does it hurt?"

Aurora nodded hurriedly, nodding like a madwoman.

Eileen blinked and said, "I don't believe it, I'm going to try!"

With that, she shoved the lit candle down...

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

Two muffled moans sounded almost simultaneously.

Aurora was so scared her heart nearly leapt out of her chest. But when she came to her senses, she realized she didn't feel the expected burn.

Turning her head, she saw that Eileen's candle had landed directly on Hubery.

An immediate burn mark appeared on Hubery's hand.

Aurora's eyes grew wide in shock.

Eileen picked up the extinguished candle and tossed it aside, then began to look for other tools.

As she looked, she said, "Miss Aurora, don't freak out. I treat you differently than him, I won't really hurt you. But, I'm curious, why are you asking for trouble?"

Aurora, with tear stains all over her face, shook her head at Eileen.

Eileen nodded and said, "Hmm, I know you want to say this has nothing to do with you, that it's all Hubery's doing. To be honest, I believe you. You're just a woman, a little bit of a drama queen, a bit shameless, but your actions are just small potatoes, just trying to scare people, talking about irrelevant things. I don't think you'd really hurt anyone."

Aurora nodded hurriedly, crying and nodding.

Eileen said, "So, I didn't hurt you, right? I've been pretty decent to you."

Aurora cried even harder, but with Eileen staring at her, she could only nod her agreement.

At this moment, Eileen found a bottle of sulfuric acid.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "This is an old friend of mine."

Then, she put on gloves and picked up the bottle of acid.

Upon seeing the sulfuric acid, Hubery immediately forgot about his burn, his face filled with terror.

Eileen turned to Aurora and said, "Miss Aurora, do you know why Hubery wanted to drag you into this? He didn't need your help to attack me. He could have used any other excuse to lure me out, could have done it a long time ago. But why did he want you to be the one to do it? And why today?"

Aurora didn't know, she just looked at Eileen in pain.

Eileen said, "Because he's clever. Your stylist invited me to dinner, we entered the private room together, it's all recorded on camera. If something happened to me, wouldn't you be the prime suspect?"

Aurora was stunned, looking at Hubery in disbelief.

Eileen laughed, "If we're talking about cunning and cruelty, who can beat Hubery? But Miss Aurora, you're partially responsible too."

Aurora looked at Eileen, full of confusion.

"Why did you fail? Didn't you say yesterday you were going to make me leave? But why didn't you succeed? If I don't leave, Hedy might leave. Hedy was eliminated today. If I stay, Hedy will only choose to quit the competition. Can Hubery accept that?"

"Hubery is head over heels for Hedy. If anyone dares to bully Hedy, to stop him from marrying the daughter of the Apex Synergy Group chairman, Hubery won't let it slide."

Only now did Aurora understand. She stared in shock at Hubery, who was beside her.

She never expected this young man, who she had always taken care of and respected, to be such a person!

Eileen opened the sulfuric acid bottle. With the bottle in hand, she walked over to Hubery and asked with a smile, "Hubery, let's make a bet. If I splash this sulfuric acid on your face, do you think you'll be disfigured? I don't think you will, what about you?"

Hubery looked at Eileen in terror, shaking his head frantically.

"You also think it won't?" Eileen nodded and said, "Alright, let's find out if you'll really stay pretty!"

With that, she seemed about to splash the acid...

"Bam!"

At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Eileen was taken aback, looking towards the door, her eyes narrowed.

"Bam! Bam!"

Two more knocks.

The private room door was about to be smashed open.

Eileen closed her mouth. She put the cap back on the sulfuric acid bottle and put it back on the table. She took off her gloves and picked up the folding knife from before.

Without saying much, she plunged the knife into Hubery's thigh.

"Ugh...ugh..." Hubery screamed in pain.

Eileen looked regretful and said, "It's such a rare opportunity, can I stab you a few more times? Just a few!"

Hubery stared at Eileen in shock.

Eileen had already pulled the knife out and stabbed it back in.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..." Hubery was in so much pain he was practically delirious!

Eileen whispered, "Shhh, keep it down. I didn't hit an artery, you're not going to die, don't be scared."
