Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 62

The show, Survival, had almost no promotion or hype before it started. No frills or gimmicks.

The day after Fancy Island finished filming, Eileen got a call from Ophelia right after she had left the set. Ophelia asked her to join the filming of Survival immediately.

"Is it that urgent?" Eileen was surprised.

"I'm not sure," Ophelia responded, "The production team said the rainy season might come early this year, so they want to start filming sooner."

"They even differentiate between the rainy and dry seasons," Eileen remarked casually, "They seem pretty professional. Alright, give me their contact info, and I'll get in touch with them."

Meanwhile, over at the Lopez family home in the Capital, Sarah was frantically getting her servants to pack. She glanced at Hedy, who was leisurely munching on grapes on the couch. "Why on earth are you going on that reality show? Just by the name, it sounds dangerous. If you really want to break into the entertainment industry, your father can invest in a TV show for you to star in."

Hedy swallowed her grape, grinning. "Mom, the show isn't dangerous. It's just a camping trip. Besides, Hubery is going with me. If you don't trust me, don't you trust Hubery?"

Sarah frowned, "Trust him? And who is he?"

Hedy was taken aback, looking at her mother.

Sarah continued, "The Cooper family has fallen. Hubery used to be their heir, and now he's trying to pay off his debts by becoming a little star. How pathetic! He's not worthy of you. Why are you still associating with him?"

"Mom," Hedy protested, "Don't look down on Hubery. I believe he will succeed. What if he becomes as successful as Egbert and stands at the peak of the entertainment industry? Isn't that a kind of success, too?"

"How could that be possible?" Sarah scoffed.

Hedy took Sarah's arm and coaxed her for a while.

Sarah was both helpless and soft-hearted. Seeing that the servants had already brought down the luggage, she said, "You all accompany Hedy to the airport and follow her. Make sure to take care of her on the way. If she gets hurt even a little bit, I'll hold you responsible!"

The location for the first episode of Survival was set in Brazil.

Eileen found it amusing when she received her plane ticket from the production team.

She had never heard of a reality show being filmed abroad before. How could she have missed such a huge project in her previous life?

As soon as she got on the plane, Eileen fell asleep.

Meanwhile, at the Lopez Group headquarters in the USA, Sawyer was busy at work when he received a phone call.

A woman's voice on the other end asked, "Is Mr. Reed seeing another woman?"

Sawyer looked at the caller ID and paused for a moment before saying, "Elaine Lopez, don't talk nonsense!"

Elaine's voice was full of malicious intent, "You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Are you blinded by her beauty? Her name is Eileen, right? She's going to be on a reality show called Survival, isn't she?"

"Elaine, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything stupid!" Sawyer started to panic.

Elaine said, "I'm not going to do anything stupid, but I want her to suffer. It's quite a coincidence that I'm also participating in that show."

"What? You, a soldier, why would you participate in a reality show?"

"It's not just any reality show, and it's a jungle adventure show. It was originally a military project organized by the government, planned to be a documentary. But, due to the high budget and severe losses, it was changed into a reality show. To make it a reality show, they needed stars to join. In fact, we, the soldiers, are the real protagonists of the show. The stars are just there to attract sponsors and advertisers!"

Elaine continued, "Since it's such a coincidence that we'll be in the same place, I'll cherish this opportunity. I'll meet Eileen in person when the time comes."

"Elaine, I'm warning you, you better not."

Elaine had already hung up.

Sawyer threw his phone down, running his hands through his hair in frustration!

After thinking for a moment, he dialed another number.

The call was quickly picked up, and a gruff male voice came through, "Saul, what's up?"

"Burton Lopez, are you still on duty?"
