Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 43

The scene suddenly quieted down, with Hubery not uttering another word.

After a while, Eileen finished her coffee and prepared to get up to throw away her cup. Egbert's assistant came over nervously and offered his hand to Eileen, "Let me do it for you."

Eileen glanced at Egbert on the other side, who was still engrossed in his phone, oblivious to the interaction. She handed the cup to the assistant.

An hour later, Bblythe and Josiah finally arrived.

By then, all six regular guests of the show had gathered. The crew also turned on the live broadcast cameras.

Once the live broadcast started, a flood of comments filled the official live chat room.

— [Wow, the title says they're in Japan? This trip to Japan sounds like it's gonna be interesting.]

— [Oh my days, I even changed my sleeping schedule to keep up with the show. I watch the show at night and catch up on sleep during the day. My mum says it's killing me.]

— [Wait, is Phyllis really not on this episode?]

— [If Phyllis isn't there, will there be a new guest? I'm not a huge fan of Phyllis, she's too flashy.]

— [I actually quite like Phyllis, she's always full of energy, never a dull moment with her around.]

— [As a fan, I want to thank everyone for their love for Phyllis. Phyllis has confirmed that she will not participate in the rest of the filming for Traveller 5+1, she's currently in a legal battle with PrismPulse Entertainment and Kenley. Let's all wish her the best.]

— [So, who's the new guest?]

While the comments were questioning who the new guest was, Bblythe was also asking the same question in real life.

The crew members, with a mysterious look on their faces, mumbled into their walkie-talkies. After a while, a stylish and elegant woman walked in.

Upon seeing the woman, Eileen paused for a moment, her gaze quickly shifting to Egbert on the other side. Not just her, everyone else in the room also turned their attention to Egbert.

Egbert was calmly looking at the woman. She seemed a bit shy, sticking out her tongue, walked over to Egbert in her high heels. She extended her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Reed, long time no see."

She seemed natural standing next to Egbert, they looked quite the pair, like ideal partners.

By now, there were already loads of comments.

— [Aurora Bell!]

— [Fans of the Spring Couple are going wild!]

— [Honestly, out of all of Egbert's films, The Alley is my absolute favorite. The most beautiful love story, in my opinion, is between their characters Mandy and Jeffery!]

— [I can't believe it's Aurora. Aurora and Egbert are sharing screen again! Well done to the production team!]

— [I can't believe my eyes, Mandy and Jeffery are reunited! I need to rewatch The Alley. But the ending of the film is so sad. I can't bear to watch it.]

Egbert had been in the spotlight since he was thirteen, for twelve years now.

In these twelve years, he had climbed the ladder of success without any hindrance. Behind his success and glory were the iconic characters he had portrayed, which had propelled him to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

Aurora's fingertips turned pale, she managed a weak smile and looked in the direction of the crew, "They asked me to keep it a secret."

The incident was over in just a few seconds. A lot of people didn't notice that it was Egbert who didn't want to shake hands. They just thought Hubery had rushed over to block Egbert.

But Eileen caught on. She was curious.

Suddenly, Eileen heard a quiet hum from Bblythe next to her. She turned her head and saw Bblythe's cold face as she was staring at Aurora, seemingly not very fond of her. On the other hand, Josiah greeted Aurora quite politely.

After shaking hands with Josiah, Aurora had regained her composure. She shifted her gaze and saw Bblythe. She greeted with a smile, "Bblythe, long time no see."

Bblythe was six years older than Aurora. Years ago, Bblythe had played a supporting role to Aurora in a film, and everyone knew about their relationship.

Bblythe gave a perfunctory nod to Aurora, but didn't approach her. Aurora then looked at Eileen and said with a smile, "Hello."

Eileen responded calmly, "Hello."

After the brief exchange, the crew began to work. Then Bblythe whispered to Eileen, "I really envy you, you just say it straight out when you don't like someone."

Eileen asked, "You don't like Aurora?"

Bblythe let out a cold laugh and uttered a curse word Eileen had never heard her use before, "She's such a bitch."

Eileen was shocked. She had really never expected that Bblythe, who was usually gentle, courteous, caring, and always friendly to others, would use such sharp words to describe a person.
