Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 202 

The director’s butt got a severe burn, and he was scared out of his wits, with the staff also freaking out. 

Since the show hadn’t officially started, there were no medical staff arranged by the crew, so the assistant director had to make the call – stop the recording and get the director to the hospital ASAP! 

By the time Jarvis and his crew heard that the recording was over, it was chaos outside. 

They decided to lend a hand. 

As soon as Simon stepped outside, he saw Eileen standing in a corner, looking lost amidst the bustling crowd. 

It was the first time Simon had ever seen Eileen look so frightened! 

He felt an immediate wave of concern! 

Jarvis and Jaqueline noticed too. 

They quickly moved towards Eileen. 

Jaqueline cautiously glanced at Eileen’s face and asked softly, “You okay?” 

Eileen kept her head down, looking at her shoe tips, remaining silent. 

Simon felt a pang in his heart. He stepped closer, reaching out to comfort Eileen. 

But as soon as he reached out his hand, Jarvis stopped him. Jarvis shot Simon a look, probably thinking it wasn’t appropriate for him to touch a girl like that. 

After brushing Simon’s hand away, Jarvis turned to Eileen and suggested, “How about we find somewhere to chill out?” 

Eileen looked up at them, her voice just above a whisper, “I didn’t do it on purpose…” 

Simon immediately responded, “I know, I know you didn’t mean it.” 

Even though Jaqueline didn’t like Eileen, she couldn’t say anything seeing her in this state. 

Simon assured her with a sympathetic tone, “Don’t worry. I’m here and I’ll help you sort this out.” 

As soon as Simon said this, both Jarvis and Jaqueline turned to look at him. 

Eileen also looked at Simon suddenly. 

Eileen sniffed, looking all pitiful as she blinked her eyes and asked, “Really? Will you help me cover the costs?” 

The others went silent. 

Eileen was on the verge of tears and pointed at the mess in the studio, lamenting, “How much do I have to pay for this?” 

“Do you know? They even sent the director to a private hospital! It’s a private hospital! The kind that doesn’t take insurance! I offered to treat his wound, I know traditional medicine, I can even treat burn scars, but the director refused. I wanted to help him, he slapped my hand away and yelled at me… I was just trying to help!” 

The trio was speechless. 

Just then, Phyllis ran out! 

As soon as she saw everyone, she asked nervously, “What happened? I was halfway through my makeup when I heard that Satan got beaten up, and Gates of Damnation got torn down. Who did it?” 

Eileen and the rest was speechless. 

Simon rubbed his face, looking drained, “This place is a mess, let’s get out of here.” 

In the end, the five of them left together for the hotel booked by the show crew. 

The official recording of the show will start in three days. 

As soon as they got back to the hotel, Eileen started worrying about the compensation claim from the show crew. 

She did a rough estimate, and the props and medical bills could cost her thousands of dollars! 

Thousands of dollars! She could sell herself and still not come up with that kind of money! 

Thus, Eileen had a couple of nerve-wracking days. 

During these two days, she didn’t receive any call from the show crew, but she did get a call from Egbert. 

As soon as she answered Egbert’s call, there was a gunshot on the other end of the line. 

Eileen was stunned. 

She immediately sat up and asked, “Egbert?” 

There was no one’s voice on the other end, just a lot of noise. 

Eileen’s heart jumped into her throat. 

After a while, the noise reduced, and Egbert’s calm voice came through, “It’s me.” 

Eileen breathed a sigh of relief. 

She frowned and asked, “Where are you? What was that noise just now?” 

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m filming, that was the set noise.” 

Filming? Eileen didn’t say anything. 

The man then said, “I called to tell you that my phone is now accessible, you can call me if you need anything.” 

Now it’s accessible? 

Meaning it wasn’t accessible before? 

Eileen didn’t ask, mainly because she had never called Egbert. 

She just repeated, “Okay okay okay.” 

“Bang bang!” There were two more loud noises on the other end of the phone. 

This time it wasn’t a gunshot, it sounded like an explosion. 

Someone then shouted, “Silent Wing, over there…” 

“Hush.” Egbert cut him off, then whispered to Eileen, “I’m about to start filming, I’ll hang up now, we’ll talk later.” 

With that, he hung up. 

Eileen frowned at the disconnected phone, mumbling to herself, “Is he really filming?” 

Meanwhile, in a private hospital room! 

The assistant director just got the discharge procedures done for the director, and as he entered the ward, he saw the director on the phone. 

After hanging up, the director said, “That was a call from Egbert’s agent. He apologized for not being able to attend due to an unexpected trip abroad. Compensation will be transferred to our account as soon as possible.” 

The assistant director sighed, “Well, I never really expected Egbert to come, we have Jarvis anyway, that’s good enough.” 

The director didn’t answer, but asked, “Has the trailer been released?” 

The assistant director said, “It’s out. Phyllis came to reshoot the next day, Hedy also came the next day, after working overtime to edit, the trailer was released this morning. We’ve also bought the trending, the heat will definitely hit the peak by the live broadcast tomorrow.” 

The director nodded, “That’s good, let’s go.” 

With that, the director tried to sit up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his butt! 

The director had to lie back down, his complex feelings made him lightly touch his bandaged butt. 

He pointed wearily at the wheelchair across the bed, “Could you wheel it over a bit.” 

On the third day, when Eileen was on the show, she saw the director sitting in a wheelchair, way shorter than her, but his eyes were sharp, serious, and vigilant, staring at her! 

Eileen was a bit nervous, and didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with the director. 

The director hummed lightly, picked up the megaphone and ordered, “Blindfold her! Let’s roll!” 

This wasn’t the shooting location, the actual spot was somewhere else. 

Eileen’s vision was blocked, and then she was led onto a car. 

The car drove for half an hour. 

Half an hour later, the car stopped, a crew member came over to help Eileen out of the car, and then walked her a distance. 

When they finally stopped, the crew member whispered in Eileen’s ear, “In ten seconds, remove your blindfold and get ready for your first journey of reincarnation.” 

With that, the person left. 

Eileen patiently waited for ten seconds. 

Ten seconds later, she removed the blindfold, only to be surprised that she was actually in a school. 

The school was not big, it looked a bit rundown, and there were many boys and girls in school uniforms playing happily in the playground. 

Eileen stood still, unsure of what was happening, she didn’t move for a moment. 

Then, someone patted her from behind! 

She turned around and saw a girl with freckles. 

The freckled girl smiled and said, “Eileen, what are you doing standing here? Let’s go! Your crush, the basketball team captain is over there. Let’s go cheer for him.” 

Her crush? The basketball team captain? 

What’s going on?
