Chapter 147

At a private hospital in Harborview City.

Ableson Lopez pushed open the door of the ward only to see Hubery lying in bed, face swollen, both

legs bandaged up, receiving an IV drip.

On seeing Ableson, Hubery tried to sit up immediately.

“Stay down,” said Ableson, his face impassive.

Feeling awkward, Hubery lay back down and called out, “Mr. Lopez…”

The private ward was very plush. Ableson looked around before moving up to the bed.

Looking down at Hubery, he asked casually, “What’s with the recklessness?”

Hubery awkwardly explained, “Hedy didn’t want to get eliminate…”

Ableson frowned, “Hedy is just a little girl, a little sweet talk would do. You forgot the big picture for a

girl? Is that your range of vision?”

Hubery choked up, unable to respond.

He knew that if he wanted to change his fate amidst his family’s decline, he had to marry Hedy.

Over the years, he had been nothing but courteous to Hedy and even more respectful to Ableson.

When Ableson reprimanded him, he didn’t dare to retort.

Seeing Hubery silent, Ableson became even angrier, “Didn’t I tell you to wait until Eileen turns twenty,

no matter what?”

All Hubery could do was apologize, “Sir, I was wrong this time. I was too impulsive, but Eileen was

really too much…”

“You should have endured it!” Ableson said sternly.

Hubery was taken aback and had to grit his teeth and say, “Yes.”

Previously, on the Traveller 5+1 show, Hubery was first kicked by Eileen, then pushed into a fountain.

He was so mad he was about to blow his top, but while he was changing his clothes, he received a call

from Ableson.

On the phone, Ableson told him not to provoke Eileen.

At the time, Hubery was puzzled because he knew that not long ago, Eileen had returned to the Lopez

family and had hit Hedy and her mother.

He thought Ableson wanted to teach Eileen a lesson himself.

It was only after he returned to the country and met with Ableson that he found out that the elders of

the Howard family had left an inheritance for Eileen.

However, the will stipulated that Eileen had to be twenty before she could inherit it.

For that inheritance, Ableson had been tolerating Eileen’s behavior.

Hubery was also planning to endure her, but unexpectedly, the Shining Star show invited Eileen as a

celebrity coach.

Every day, Hedy would call him, saying she didn’t want to be eliminated, didn’t want to be targeted by

Eileen.

Hubery was at a loss. He originally wanted to use Aurora’s power to deal with Eileen.

But to his surprise, Mr. Chad didn’t have a strong connection with Aurora, and Aurora’s downfall was

quick.

In desperation, Hubery thought of taking out Eileen directly, as long as she was still around, he could

still get the inheritance later.

He knew Eileen could fight, and even brought four street thugs, but he didn’t expect that the five of

them together were no match for Eileen.

Where on earth did this woman learn to fight, she’s so tough!

Looking at Hubery’s helpless look, Ableson felt even more displeased, but he said, “Hubery, I have high

expectations of you. Don’t let me down.”

Hubery immediately straightened up and solemnly promised, “Yes, Mr. Lopez, I know what to do!”

Ableson nodded, “But Hedy is my daughter after all, and the trouble Eileen has caused us is a fact. I

will contact the relevant people to have her removed from the show, so Hedy won’t be upset when she

sees her.”

Hubery’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, “Hedy will definitely be very happy!”

Ableson also smiled, “As long as Hedy is happy.”

That night, at the TV station.

As Eileen came out of the practice room, she saw several female staff members eating snacks and

chatting in the lounge across the way.

The door wasn’t fully closed, and their chatter was loud enough for Eileen to hear.

“Hahaha, some guy popped up saying he wants to sponsor us, on the condition that the director fires

Eileen.”

“I know, I heard about it too. Do you know how much he’s sponsoring? One hundred thousand dollars, I

almost died laughing!”

“Karin’s father casually invested three million, saying he didn’t have any other intentions, just in a good

mood, spending some money to be happy.”

“Exactly, Karin likes Eileen so much, if Eileen gets fired, Karin’s dad will be mad for sure and that

investment will be wasted. Our director would be an idiot to fire Eileen. He even had her swearing

scenes cut out to protect her image!”

“Bang!” Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

The girls, who were chatting happily, looked towards the door at the sound.

Eileen stood there, hands on hips, glaring at them.

The girls all jumped.

A makeup artist immediately stood up and stammered, “Eileen, we weren’t talking bad about you…”

Eileen yelled, “Where did your snacks come from! The lady in charge said the new snacks hadn’t

arrived yet!”

The makeup artist was stunned, she hadn’t expected that.

She held her bag of chips and said in a small voice, “This is all that’s left…”

Eileen ignored her.

She rushed in, grabbed the two unopened bags of chips on the table, hid them behind her back and

said, “I’m taking these!”

The others watched her, feeling like they were being robbed.

The makeup artist was very aggrieved, but could only say, “You can have them, but don’t tell anyone

we’re slacking off, okay?”

Eileen immediately said, “Wow, you guys are slacking off, huh!” She-extended a hand and gave it a

shake indicating, “I won’t snitch, but it depends on whether you guys pay me enough.”

The makeup artist seemed on the verge of tears and looked back at the others.

Finally, a few of the female staff members pooled their resources and handed over all the snacks they

had in their bags to Eileen – bubble gum, lollipops, jelly beans, you name it.

Eileen pocketed the goodies.

And then, no longer looking so grumpy, she sat down and asked them kindly, “What was that one

hundred grand you were talking about?”

The makeup artist replied, “Someone wants you to leave the show. They said they’re willing to invest a

hundred grand for you to leave.”

Eileen touched her chin and suddenly asked, “If I leave voluntarily, will that hundred grand be mine?”

The whole room fell in silence..

The makeup artist finally managed to say, “Probably… they won’t give it to you.”

Eileen seemed very disappointed and complained, “Humph, because of your show, I almost had a big

problem yesterday and nearly lost a ton of money!”

The makeup artist blinked, “What do you mean, ‘almost’?”

Eileen continued, “I became a trending topic because of the audience, and my company wanted to take

off those topics using my money. I definitely didn’t agree, so I called my manager. After some

negotiation, she finally agreed to have the finance department cover it.”

The makeup artist chuckled, “Your manager seems pretty fair.”

Eileen nodded, “Yes, Ophelia is pretty decent. I told her if she deducted my money, I would go online

and criticize the company’s chairman, shareholders, and general manager, and say she was behind it!

She was immediately scared and promised not to deduct my money.”

The makeup artist were silent again

Eileen continued, “She also said she must have done something terrible in her past life to have to deal

with someone like me in this one. So she’s actually quite good, always looking for fault within herself,

knowing it’s all her own fault. I do admire that about her.”

The makeup artist just looked at her, speechless.
