Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 147

At a private hospital in Harborview City.

Ableson Lopez pushed open the door of the ward only to see Hubery lying in bed, face swollen, both legs bandaged up, receiving an IV drip.

On seeing Ableson, Hubery tried to sit up immediately.

"Stay down," said Ableson, his face impassive.

Feeling awkward, Hubery lay back down and called out, "Mr. Lopez…"

The private ward was very plush. Ableson looked around before moving up to the bed.

Looking down at Hubery, he asked casually, "What's with the recklessness?"

Hubery awkwardly explained, "Hedy didn’t want to get eliminate…"

Ableson frowned, "Hedy is just a little girl, a little sweet talk would do. You forgot the big picture for a girl? Is that your range of vision?"

Hubery choked up, unable to respond.

He knew that if he wanted to change his fate amidst his family's decline, he had to marry Hedy.

Over the years, he had been nothing but courteous to Hedy and even more respectful to Ableson.

When Ableson reprimanded him, he didn’t dare to retort.

Seeing Hubery silent, Ableson became even angrier, "Didn't I tell you to wait until Eileen turns twenty, no matter what?"

All Hubery could do was apologize, "Sir, I was wrong this time. I was too impulsive, but Eileen was really too much…"

"You should have endured it!" Ableson said sternly.

Hubery was taken aback and had to grit his teeth and say, "Yes."

Previously, on the Traveller 5+1 show, Hubery was first kicked by Eileen, then pushed into a fountain. He was so mad he was about to blow his top, but while he was changing his clothes, he received a call from Ableson.

On the phone, Ableson told him not to provoke Eileen.

At the time, Hubery was puzzled because he knew that not long ago, Eileen had returned to the Lopez family and had hit Hedy and her mother.

He thought Ableson wanted to teach Eileen a lesson himself.

It was only after he returned to the country and met with Ableson that he found out that the elders of the Howard family had left an inheritance for Eileen.

However, the will stipulated that Eileen had to be twenty before she could inherit it.

For that inheritance, Ableson had been tolerating Eileen's behavior.

Hubery was also planning to endure her, but unexpectedly, the Shining Star show invited Eileen as a celebrity coach.

Every day, Hedy would call him, saying she didn't want to be eliminated, didn't want to be targeted by Eileen.

Hubery was at a loss. He originally wanted to use Aurora's power to deal with Eileen.

But to his surprise, Mr. Chad didn't have a strong connection with Aurora, and Aurora's downfall was quick.

In desperation, Hubery thought of taking out Eileen directly, as long as she was still around, he could still get the inheritance later.

He knew Eileen could fight, and even brought four street thugs, but he didn't expect that the five of them together were no match for Eileen.

Where on earth did this woman learn to fight, she's so tough!

Looking at Hubery's helpless look, Ableson felt even more displeased, but he said, "Hubery, I have high expectations of you. Don't let me down."

Hubery immediately straightened up and solemnly promised, "Yes, Mr. Lopez, I know what to do!"

Ableson nodded, "But Hedy is my daughter after all, and the trouble Eileen has caused us is a fact. I will contact the relevant people to have her removed from the show, so Hedy won't be upset when she sees her."

Hubery's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Hedy will definitely be very happy!"

Ableson also smiled, "As long as Hedy is happy."
