Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 325

Carrol was at his wit's end. Furrowing his brow, he asked, “What is going on?”

Eileen, with a cool detachment, handed her phone over to Carrol.

At the same time, Renee's assistant scurried over, phone in hand, drenched in sweat, showing it to Renee!

The makeup room fell into a sudden hush. Everyone's eyes were glued to their screens, including all the staff members.

But Egbert couldn't care less about all that drama. He was just looking in Eileen's direction, his voice laced with concern, “Have you had breakfast yet?”

Eileen hadn't, indeed. But she ignored Egbert, busying herself with the fruit on the coffee table while Carrol was peering into her phone.

Egbert then stood up and walked over to the other side of the room, grabbing a carton of milk and a slice of cake.

Instead of handing them directly to Eileen, he placed the breakfast on the table beside her and then stepped away.

At first, Eileen was determined not to touch anything Egbert brought her. But once he walked away, she let out a huff, opened the box, and began to eat.

Renee, staring at the content on her phone, turned a shade that was a mix of pale and green, shaking with anger, “Lies! These are all lies!”

No one in the makeup room responded to her. All eyes were watching her with subtle expressions.

Twitter had been particularly lively these past couple of days.

Just last night, the online community was abuzz, staying up late to gossip about Eileen's public altercation with a pregnant woman.

But today, the tables had turned!

Beneath the five scathing trending hashtags against Renee, two more hashtags reflected the current state of the online community:

Trending #13: #WishThereWasANationalGossipTimeStandard#

Trending #19: #CanBigNewasDropOnRestDaysBecauseWeekdaysAreKillingMe#

Flipping to today's hot Twitter topics, the top ten were all about Renee.

And right at the top, the hottest topic was the revelation that Renee was the "mistress" in a high-profile affair.

The Twitter ID belonged to an official company account named “Sunbeam Silhouettes,” verified with a blue checkmark.

At nine this morning, they posted a brief announcement.

Sunbeam Silhouettes: [Over the next few months, Sunbeam will be temporarily closed for rebranding. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.]

Sunbeam Silhouettes, being the most profitable clothing brand under the Iverson Group and favored by many for its trendy designs over the past couple of years, naturally stirred up questions from its fans when it announced a sudden temporary closure.

The top comment asked: -[Why close for a rebrand? I was looking forward to the new monthly releases!]

The official Sunbeam Silhouettes account replied: -[It's an internal company issue. The chairman and his wife are undergoing divorce proceedings. Until the property division is clear, the chairman's wife cannot return to work, and the design department will be completely stalled. ]

Those familiar with the brand knew that all of Sunbeam's designs came directly from the chairman's wife, Ms. Fidelia, who oversaw the fashion design department.

The commenter, not expecting to be called out, quickly replied politely: -[Oh, I see. I hope for a swift and favorable resolution then. ]

But unexpectedly, the official account responded again: -[The resolution might not be favorable. The chairman's girlfriend, @Renee, is already pregnant. Since the chairman had an affair during his marriage, the upcoming property settlement is likely to be contentious. ]

And that's how the story began.

Before yesterday, few knew who Renee was.

The online community first took serious notice of Renee, a D-list actress, yesterday evening when several trending topics erupted about "Eileen being a bully, targeting Renee."

At the time, people were just in for the drama; without evidence, the buzz was there, but the substance was lacking.
