Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen -
Chapter 191
Chapter 191
Eileen was enjoying a little cake when suddenly an astonished female voice came from behind her.
Eileen froze, thinking she was busted for snacking without giving a gift.
She was too scared to even turn her head.
Then, the voice from behind asked again, “Is that really you?”
Eileen felt the voice was somewhat familiar, so she cautiously turned around.
Instantly, she locked eyes with a woman who was heavily made up.
Eileen stared at her for a moment.
An awkward silence filled the air between them.
After a while, the woman snapped, “Why are you staring at Me? What are you doing here? Do you have any idea what’s happening here? Who let you in? And you look like a total mess!”
Her tone was quite harsh.
Eileen was confused and looked at her blankly. “Who are you?”
The woman’s voice sounded familiar, but maybe because of the heavy makeup, Eileen couldn’t recognize her.
The woman was furious, “Don’t you know who I am? Open your eyes wide and see clearly!”
Eileen’s face turned serious. She squinted her eyes, about to speak.
Suddenly, another stern female voice echoed, “Who are you to curse?”
Eileen and the heavily made-up woman both turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
A posh lady with a frail and sickly look, dressed in an elegant gown, was walking towards them.
Rosalind just wanted to chat with this girl who seemed familiar to her.
She didn’t expect to walk into such a situation where the girl was being cursed at.
Rosalind’s expression was icy, her authoritative aura radiating.
She was the lady of the Lopez family!
A woman who had been fighting alongside her husband from a young age, she was no ordinary housewife.
Rosalind stepped in front of Eileen, shielding her behind her.
Then she looked at the heavily made-up woman and asked, “What’s your name?”
The woman, now seeming a bit flustered, replied awkwardly, “Madam, hello, my name is Teresa…”
Teresa?
Eileen peeked out from behind the lady, looking surprised at the woman in front of her.
Was she really Teresa?
The one who originally played the lead role of Hertha in ‘Eyes on the Rendezvous’, but was kicked out by Galen for secretly taking pictures of her and Egbert, violating the crew’s confidentiality agreement and had to pay millions of dollars in compensation?
Eileen didn’t recognize her at all.
Eileen couldn’t help but blurt out, “Did you botch your plastic surgery?”
Teresa, with gritted teeth, glared at Eileen and spat out, “Bitch! Say that again!”
Rosalind glared at Teresa and retorted, “You say that again!”
Teresa fell silent.
Rosalind was so angry that her chest hurt.
She turned to the innocent-looking girl behind her and asked gently, “Do you two know each other?”
Eileen, noticing that the lady looked upset, gently held her arm and said, “We used to know each other.”
Rosalind, holding the young girl’s hand, felt a sudden rush of sympathy, “You obviously know each other, yet she insulted you with such harsh words. You must be very upset, right?”
Eileen didn’t say anything.
Was she upset?
Not really…
Eileen was about to say something when Teresa quickly started to explain, “Madam, I was just a bit too anxious earlier, I didn’t mean… I was actually just joking with her. I thought she dressed like a waitress and was worried she would be made fun of…”
‘She doesn’t look like a waitress at all!”
Rosalind’s face changed as she turned to Teresa, “Are you having vision problems?”
Teresa didn’t understand why this lady was defending Eileen so fiercely.
She felt wronged.

But she didn’t dare to provoke Rosalind.
Teresa was here as a female companion to a big boss.
The boss didn’t reveal much, but he mentioned that today’s guests were chairpersons of globally renowned companies and their families.
The host of today’s banquet was the Lopez family, ranking in the top three of the world’s richest families.
Yes, the legendary Lopez family!
Teresa had seen this lady during the toast. She heard some people calling her “President Robert”, and others calling her “Madam”.
She was referred to as “Madam” at the Lopez family’s banquet.
That was enough to prove her close relationship with the Lopez family.
Teresa didn’t dare to offend such a big shot. She felt frustrated but didn’t dare to fight back, finally managing to say, “I was just joking with her.”
Rosalind replied discontentedly, “There are limits to joking. You used foul language in public. That’s uneducated behavior. Didn’t your parents teach you anything?”
Teresa glared at Eileen, “She just insulted me about my failed plastic surgery…”
Rosalind coldly responded, “She was asking a question, asking if your surgery had failed. It was an interrogative sentence. If you didn’t want to answer her, that’s one thing, but to curse at her, I don’t know what you were thinking!”
Teresa was so angry, “She was clearly insulting me! Besides, I only commented on her clothes because I wanted to help her…”
Rosalind’s brow furrowed even more, “Judging someone else’s style is even more impolite. For example, your dress is hideous, your shoes don’t match your dress your makeup looks cheap, and your nose seems to be crooked, probably because it didn’t heal properly after surgery. But, I wouldn’t say these things to your face, because I have manners.”
Teresa was speechless.
So, what was she saying now?
Teresa was so frustrated she had a headache!
If it wasn’t for the fact that she dared not provoke them, she really wanted to fight these two!
Teresa didn’t want to say anything else, she turned around and left in her high heels.
Rosalind watched Teresa leave, then turned to Eileen. “Your friend is quite the piece of work! You’d do well to keep your distance from her. Hanging out with bad apples won’t do you any good.”
Eileen just stared blankly at her.
She was quiet for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, handing her a plate full of cake. “Want a piece?”
Rosalind blinked, looking at the plate, a smile creeping onto her face. “Are you treating me?”
In her heart, Eileen knew she wasn’t really treating her. The cake was free for the taking, for anyone who wanted it.
Eileen grinned. “Thanks for having my back.”
Rosalind felt a warm glow.
This girl was polite, grateful, kind-hearted, and cute.
Rosalind accepted the cake, taking a small bite, praising, “It’s yummy!”
Eileen watched Rosalind’s elegant way of holding the cake, thinking she was really classy.
Then she looked at her face,
She was good-looking, albeit a bit weary and aged, but her poised and graceful demeanor still made her look incredibly beautiful.
There’s a saying that beauty isn’t about looks, it’s about what’s inside.
This saying fit Rosalind.
Eiteen then turned her gaze to a large mirror on the right side of the banquet hall.
In that mirror, she saw her own face reflected.
She studied her own face, then shifted her gaze back to Rosalind.
After a moment, she couldn’t help but ask cautiously, “Ma’arn, may I ask, what’s your last name?”
