Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 38

"Yep, that's right." Simon Lopez, aka Bartley, nodded, "But bear in mind, there are a lot of folks using that surname, she's definitely not one of us. She's so gorgeous, I would've remembered if I had seen her."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, "Are you in the Capital now? I seem to recall we have a relative there, what was their name again?"

"Ableson." Simon had obviously done his homework before coming to the Capital, "They have a daughter too, but her name is Hedy, and she's not the same age as Ms. Lopez, so they can't be the same person."

"Uh-huh." The voice on the phone said, "Regardless of who she is, no one has a right to compete with our aunt for a man!"

Simon was in full agreement, "Absolutely, even though she's been missing for nineteen years, our grandparents never gave up looking for her. Neither did our family. We've got some leads in recent years, and once we find her, whether Egbert likes it or not, he must marry her! Our darling daughter of the Lopez family deserves nothing but the best!"

"Let's not talk about this now." The voice on the phone said, "I've already booked my ticket, and I'll be there shortly."

Simon asked again, "So, bro, should we let our parents know?"

"No need to rush. I'll take a look when I get there." The guy said.

After a few more exchanges, Simon hung up the phone. He looked up to see that Eileen had already disappeared from the other side of the street.

When Eileen arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Phyllis and her brother were already waiting for her in the private room.

Seeing her arrive, they both stood up. Eileen smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm a bit late."

"No problem, we're the ones intruding, Ms. Lopez." Phyllis's brother said politely.

At this point, Phyllis walked over to Eileen and took her hand, "Eileen, my brother has seen all the documents you gave me. He's a lawyer, and he says if we can confirm the authenticity of the documents, we can proceed with the lawsuit!"

Eileen looked at Phyllis's brother, who handed her a business card.

She took it, and saw the words, Senior Lawyer, Lennon Sankner.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sankner." Eileen shook hands with Lennon.

Once they were seated, Lennon ordered a variety of meats and vegetables. Eileen hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she immediately started grilling the beef in front of her.

Lennon made small talk with a chuckle, "I've also watched your variety show. My sister is still young. Thank you for taking care of her."

Eileen glanced at Phyllis. She blushed, obviously recalling the numerous occasions when she had clashed with Eileen on the show.

"No worries, she's young and a bit headstrong, but she's got a good heart. I can handle her level of naivety." Eileen popped the grilled beef into her mouth.

Lennon was taken aback, not expecting Ms. Lopez to eat like that in front of him.

"Ms. Lopez, you are indeed straightforward." Lennon praised before getting down to business, "About that document..."

They chatted while eating, and by the time they finished, they had discussed most of the key issues.

The main reason why the Sankner siblings wanted to meet with Eileen was because she had sent Phyllis some negative information about PrismPulse Entertainment a couple of days ago. The content of the information was so shocking that Lennon and Phyllis couldn't easily believe it. So they specifically asked Eileen out to confirm it face-to-face.

In fact, Eileen didn't unearth those negative pieces of information. She read about them before.

PrismPulse Entertainment had always been plagued by negative news and had a bad reputation in the industry. Even before Phyllis's incident happened in her previous life, PrismPulse Entertainment was sued for offending people and the truth was revealed a few years later.
