Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 157

Not long after Christmas, Eileen and Janice headed to Rivertown.

The show was set to start recording right after Christmas.

Early in the morning, Eileen was fast asleep in the hotel, when a knock at the door jolted her awake.

She glanced at the clock—4:30 am.

She got up to open the door.

Outside stood a woman soldier in military attire, along with a few crew members and a cameraman.

The cameraman was pointing the camera at Eileen, but she didn't care, her attention was on the woman soldier.

The woman soldier stood still and said sternly, "Get cleaned up immediately, we gather downstairs in ten minutes."

Ten minutes.

Eileen instantly woke up and replied, "Roger that!"

Five minutes later, Eileen, barefaced and in a ponytail, with her suitcase in hand, arrived at the first floor.

Once she got out of the elevator, she saw two officers standing in the middle of the hall, a man and a woman. The woman was the same one who had woken her up, and the man was probably the one in charge of waking up the male guests.

Eileen walked up to the two officers, seeing that they didn't acknowledge her, she put her suitcase down and stood there upright.

The two officers glanced at her, then at their watches, then back at her.

They seemed a bit taken aback that she could assemble in such a short time.

After a while, the ten-minute assembly time was up, but no one else had come down.

The officers' faces turned gloomy.

After five more minutes, the elevator finally opened.

A disheveled young man, his clothes buttoned incorrectly, came running out barefoot, shoes in hand.

He ran to Eileen's side, and seeing her, exclaimed with joy, "Eileen!"

Eileen turned to see it was Colin.

She did not know Colin was part of this show, Ophelia hadn't told her.

"No talking!" The male officer suddenly reprimanded sternly.

Colin was startled. He immediately shut his mouth and stood obediently.

A few minutes later, the elevator opened again and a man came out leisurely pulling his suitcase. Seeing the situation, he immediately picked up the pace and jogged over.

The man stood next to Colin, and seeing Eileen, he immediately greeted cheerfully, "Ms. Lopez!"

Eileen turned to see it was Eddie.

Eddie was also on this show?

Thinking about it, it made sense. The director of Defender's Honor was also the director of Survival. If the director invited her, he would probably also invite Eddie, who had also participated in Survival and ranked third.

With this thought, Eileen began to feel anxious again.

Would Hubery and Hedy, the two troublemakers, appear?

Fortunately, Hubery and Hedy did not appear.

An hour later, all eight guests had finally gathered.

The last to arrive was a very young and beautiful girl.

Eileen remembered her. Her name was Jaqueline, and she was an obscure actress. Although she had been in the industry for over a year, she didn't have any well-known works. However, due to her beauty, she still had many loyal fans.

In Eileen's memory, she and Jaqueline had a past grudge. During the casting of a web drama, the investors had chosen Eileen over Jaqueline. Afterwards, Jaqueline's team started attacking Eileen online, attacking her looks, family background, identity, and cultivation.

They even spread rumors claiming Eileen had landed the role through improper relations with the director. During that period, Eileen faced a lot of abuse and attacks from netizens. The netizens didn't care about the truth, they just felt that Eileen had a lot of negative news, so blaming her was only natural.
