Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

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, “Ive 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 couldnt 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

What Eileen was doing now was just compiling some known issues and giving them to the Sankner

siblings in advance. As for how to handle them, it was up to them

The three of them left the barbecue restaurant, and Lennon, who had driven, offered to drive Eileen

home

Of course, Eileen didn’t refuse, it was always nice to have a ride.

The car pulled up to the hotel entrance, and since Phyllis could be easily recognized, she didn’t get out

of the car Instead, Lennon personally walked Eileen a short distance

Eileen could tell from Lennon’s demeanor that he had something to say, so she waited patiently.

Sure enough, Lennon pulled out a cheque from his wallet.

Edeen glanced at the amount, eighty thousand dollars

Lennon gave a wry smile, it’s not much, but it’s a token of gratitude”

Eileen looked at Lennon, Mr. Sankner, as a lawyer, you should know that accepting this kind of money

is considered egal.”

Lennon chuckled, “Ms Lopez, you have a strong sense of law But this money is from me personally, to

thank you for what you’ve done. It has nothing to do with my status as a lawyer”

“Saying it’s okay doesn’t necessarily make it okay Edeen said indifferently. Besides, you guys are going

to fight PrismPulse Entertainment, might not have enough money just to deal with public opinion. If you

really want to thank me, I accept your money once everything le settled

Chapter 38

it’s not necessary”

Eileen pushed the money back.

Lennon’s gaze on Eileen deepened, “Ms. Lopez, you truly have my respect.”

Eileen nodded, “I respect myself too. That was eighty grand, man. For her, who was flat broke now, it

was a real fortune.

With a heavy heart, Eileen touched her forehead, saying. “I gotta go.”

Lennon saw Eileen off at the hotel. When he turned to go back to his car, he suddenly felt like someone

was watching him. He looked around, puzzled, but didn’t see anyone. Was it just his imagination?

Lennon didn’t think much about it, hopped into the car, and drove off.

It wasn’t until the car was out of sight, that Egbert in the back of a black BMW, withdrew his indifferent

gaze.

“Yep, okay, gotcha.” After hanging up the phone, the assistant in the driver’s seat turned around to the

boss, saying, “Mr. Reed, Gilbert says he’s made it to the hotel and has already ordered our meals. We

can just head back to the hotel, no need for us to eat out.”

Egbert didn’t respond directly, just gave a noncommittal grunt. The car started

As they drove past that shabby, bare-bones two-star motel, Egbert couldn’t help but take another look.

But this time, Eileen was no longer at the

entrance of the motel.

The one who was also dissatisfied with the motel was Sawyer Lopez, who had rushed over from

Seahaven.

With a grimace, Sawyer walked into the motel, booked a room, and immediately called his younger

brother Simon.

Bartley was in the middle of learning his lines when he picked up the phone. Hearing that his brother

had arrived, he hurried over.

When he reached Sawyer’s room, before Bartley could open his mouth, he saw his brother engrossed

in the tablet in his hand. Eileen’s voice was coming from the tablet.

Bartley was speechless.

“Holy cow, this woman’s got game!” Sawyer, looking at the replay of ‘Traveller 5+1’ on the tablet, broke

into a smile, “This Eileen, she’s got some talent. I kinda like her now.”
