Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 148

In his hotel room, Chad was handling work matters when he suddenly got a call from the executive director of Shining Star.

"A hundred grand?" Chad dropped his pen, took off his glasses, leaned back in his chair and asked, "Who's the other party?"

The executive director was very enthusiastic and hurriedly answered, "I don't know who they are, they didn't reveal their names, and the negotiations were through an assistant. But apparently, they're from Kyoto."

Chad fell into thought.

The executive director explained again seriously, "We didn't agree to their terms. We told them clearly that our show is fair and square, and we won't do anything shady!"

Chad gave a few random replies, and after hanging up, he called Bernie to have him look into the matter.

After instructing Bernie, Chad was about to get back to work when he noticed a new message on his phone.

Chad opened it and saw that it was from his father.

The message was simple, Egbert and his sister's engagement was off. From today onwards, Egbert was no longer the future son-in-law of the Lopez family.

Chad was utterly confused.

The rest of the Lopez family was also in the dark about the reason.

But his father didn't send any more messages and didn't give any explanations.

Chad stared at his phone for a while, then took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Egbert.

Egbert replied after about an hour: [I know.]

Chad immediately replied: [Are you happy now?]

Egbert: [?]

Chad replied: [You always wanted to break off the engagement. Now that your wish came true, are you happy?]

Egbert didn't reply anymore.

Chad felt a bit gleeful, thinking that Egbert must be pissed.

So, he sent another provocative message.

Chad: [Why so quiet all of a sudden?]

After sending this message, Chad waited for a long time for Egbert's reply, but it never came.

Chad knew Egbert must have blocked him.

After the first episode of Shining Star was aired, it drew a lot of attention.

The team members were all very happy. Soon, they arrived at the venue for the fourth stage performance.

Neither Aurora nor Hubery appeared in this competition. After the host praised them, he announced the two new coaches.

Both coaches were singers who had been famous in the industry for a long time. They were more than qualified to be coaches.

At the fourth stage performance, Hedy was eliminated.

Without the support of Aurora and Hubery, Hedy couldn't continue in the competition with her own abilities alone. Her elimination was just a matter of time.

After the competition, Eileen saw a missed call on her phone while she was removing her makeup backstage.

She called back, said a few words to the other party, and then hung up.

After a while, Eileen changed into her casual clothes. At this moment, a staff member came in and announced loudly, "We're having a dinner party tonight. Anyone who wants to join, please raise your hand. I need to count the number of people."

Eileen immediately raised her hand, excitedly saying, "I'm in!"

The staff member saw her, pointed at her, and said, "56..."

Eileen quickly added, "I'm bringing someone else too!"

The staff member replied, "You're bringing Janice, right? Okay, 57..."

Eileen added, "Right, there’s Janice too. So, I'm bringing two people, I'm bringing two people!"

The staff member was speechless.

In the end, Eileen alone accounted for three places.

After receiving the call, Janice rushed to the TV station. She saw Eileen waiting on the sidewalk downstairs.

Janice hurriedly ran over, her face flushed, and took Eileen's arm, "Eileen, thank you, I didn't expect you to come down to pick me up."

Eileen replied, "I didn't come down to pick you up."

Janice silently moved to one side.
