Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 29

When Hubery heard Eileen's voice, he couldn't help but frown, his face full of anger. His gaze was full of hatred, focusing sharply on Eileen.

Eileen calmly met his gaze, seemingly unaffected by his hostile stare. She seemed to have anticipated his casual look, and he dared not say anything.

Yes, Hubery dared not say anything even though he deeply detested Eileen in his heart and wanted everyone to know her wrongdoings. He couldn't utter a single word.

If he did, people would ask why Eileen treated him so. Was he going to admit that he sacrificed his fiancée for his career.

Whether it was about the director or his fiancée, he couldn't disclose it publicly. He could only bear all the pain himself.

Hubery felt incredibly resentful and angry. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the situation.

When the owner of the villa returned and heard about this, they immediately arranged a guest room and clean clothes for Hubery. Hubery took a bath, still raging with anger. When he came out, he saw his assistant sneaking in.

"Hubery, this is your phone." The assistant handed him a phone.

The production crew took away the guests' personal phones, but many guests had assistants with them. So, if there was something important, people outside would contact the assistant, who would then relay the message to the guest.

Hubery frowned. The incident of him falling into the water had been broadcast live, so he guessed the call must’ve been from his manager.

He took the phone from his assistant with an annoyed look, and just said, "Hello"…

On the other side of the phone, a heavy male voice came. "Hubery."

Hubery was immediately taken aback. "Mr. Lopez?"

---

In the end, Hubery's issue was chalked up to his personal negligence.

The production crew didn't delve into it, and it seemed Hubery himself had no intention of pursuing it.

But there were already a lot of negative comments online. For example, netizens suspected that Phyllis and Bblythe prevented the crew from going to the garden because they saw Josiah bullying Hubery and were trying to cover up for Josiah. After all, only Josiah and Hubery were in the garden at the time.

The production crew asked Hubery in front of the camera if this was true.

Hubery put on a friendly face and laughed. "Of course not. I was too embarrassed when I fell into the water. Phyllis and Bblythe probably didn't want to see my embarrassing state, so they stopped them. As for Josiah, how could he bully me? If it wasn't for him, I might have frozen to death in the pool. I should be thanking him."

Hubery sounded very sincere. But Josiah, Bblythe, and Phyllis all looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, they weren't actually trying to help Hubery at the time, but Eileen.

Eileen watched Hubery's performance with a calm expression, but her brows furrowed. Hubery was clearly very angry before taking a bath, but his attitude changed to become more gentle after the bath. Why was that? She didn't believe that Hubery was no longer angry about the previous incident, and she certainly didn't believe that the narrow-minded Hubery would thank Josiah and the others.

His behavior was very abnormal. Did he have another plan?

That afternoon, Eileen took everyone to visit two more tourist spots. And the mission of visiting five tourist spot was completed.

As long as everyone spent the night in the villa, they could finish recording the next morning and then return home.

Eileen thought Hubery was resentful towards her and would create some conflict when visiting the two spots in the afternoon. But Hubery was very cooperative and even actively helped the girls carry things. He was like an ordinary person, seeming to have completely forgotten what happened at noon. But this was absolutely not his character!

"What is he planning?" Eileen whispered.

"Do you like him that much?" On the bus back, Eileen, who was observing Hubery, suddenly heard a cold male voice next to her.

She paused, turning around.

After what happened at noon, Eileen felt that Egbert had forgiven her for her rude words from yesterday. So, on the way back, she insisted on sitting next to Egbert. She wanted to get closer to him.

They didn't communicate until now when Egbert finally spoke.

Eileen quickly looked at him and asked, "What did you just say?"
