Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 9

Eileen looked puzzled by his words, and the other three turned their heads towards Egbert. But Egbert had already averted his gaze from everyone else, his expression normal, as if his question was just a casual remark

Phyllis asked next, “Should we let Hubery know?

Josiah stood up and said. Til go tell him, and get the rest of the money from him.”

Josiah was gone for a bit and soon returned with Hubery trailing behind. Hubery, who was previously too sick to get out of bed, was now up and well. He took out the remaining twenty five euros and put it on the coffee table, shifting his gaze to Eileen, I heard you’ve got a way to help us complete our mission

Eileen shot him a glance, a sudden smirk crossed her face. “Not only can I help you complete the mission, I can also ensure you have a place to stay and food to eat. By the way weren’t you sick? I’ve got money for your meds too. And if you’re dead, I’ve got extra money to buy flowers for you. Excited?”

What the hell, dead Hubery’s face instantly changed color. But thinking that Eileen was intentionally being self-deprecating to boost his popularity, he suppressed his anger and forced a smile, “You sure have a sense of humor

The online comments, however, were all in favor of Eileen.

[That’s so cool!]

[Weird, Hubery didn’t really do anything, but why do I hate him so much? Is it because he seems so fake and pretentious?)

Eileen is so pretty and smart. I wasn’t really into her, but now I’m hooked]

“So what’s your plan?” Phyllis asked cautiously again, “Can twenty five euros really last us two days? How are we supposed to go sightseeing today?”

Eileen reached out and casually picked up a hotel brochure from the coffee table. Someone noticed that Eileen had been reading this brochure last night when they were discussing today’s travel plans.

Eileen pointed to one line in the brachute. Everyone else gathered around. It was written in French, which no one could understand.

Only Egbert glanced at it and read, “The hotel offers free shuttle service.”

Eileen promptly pocketed the twenty-five euros

Lol, this is hilanous]

So, the hotel offers free rides.]

[Did anyone else notice, Eileen can read French?

Finally, Eileen headed downstairs, with everyone following her
