Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 171

Eileen was freaked out.

Upon seeing Egbert approaching, she quickly stepped back and blurted, “Egbert…”

He took another step forward.

Eileen had no choice but to retreat again.

Being almost comered, she desperately said, “No, he’s not handsome… he’s ugly, very ugly!”

But Egbert didn’t stop. He kept coming towards her.

Eileen was on the verge of tears. Her back hit the cold metal filing cabinet, she pleaded, “I said he’s not handsome…”

Egbert’s voice was cold, “What you say without thinking is often the truth. You said he’s handsome.”

Eileen never imagined Egbert could be so prideful.

Some girls don’t like it when others praise another girl’s looks in front of them.

But Eileen never thought that a big guy like Egbert would care about this too.

“Egbert…” Eileen cautiously reached out, trying to touch the corner of Egbert’s clothes. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Egbert looked down at her small hand holding his clothes, but didn’t stop.

Eileen had nowhere to go. She quickly thought and blurted out, “Looks don’t matter, he’s a degenerate, handsome on the outside but evil inside!”

Egbert finally stopped and looked at her indifferently.

Eileen hurriedly continued, “He appears to be a noble gentleman, but in fact, he’s full of filth. He’s done a lot of bad things, incredibly evil, He will get what’s coming to him!”

Egbert didn’t say anything, just slightly raised his eyebrows.

Eileen went on, “But you’re totally different. You’re excellent, have great character. Every part of you is much better than him. Can he compare to you? Can he even match a strand of your hair? I’ve never met anyone as excellent as you in my life. I don’t understand why a man as excellent as you would care about someone ordinary like him. If you were in ancient times, you’d be a real king or prince. No one else could imitate it!”

By this point, Eileen was running out of compliments.

She carefully watched Egbert’s expression.

She saw that his expression seemed to soften.

She finally sighed in relief.

Egbert was now a drill instructor, responsible for training all the new recruits. Eileen didn’t dare to offend Egbert, fearing he would take revenge on her later.

Edna and the others were still writing their reflections, right?

The deputy instructor had asked for mercy for her, otherwise, if they didn’t hand in their reflections the next day, they would have to do 500 squats. It was a fixed rule, no discount, not even on holidays.

After she finished speaking, Eileen tried to find a chance to slip away.

But Egbert’s gaze turned back to her, he raised his hand and pinched her chin.

Eileen didn’t dare to move. She opened her mouth, showing eight teeth, trying to keep a standard smile.

Egbert calmly asked, “Are you sincere?”

Eileen hurriedly said, “Of course, I’m sincere. Look, I’ve changed since we became friends. I’ve matured, developed better taste, and become more insightful. This is your influence, your leadership made me better.”

In the end, Egbert let her go, he put his hand on his lips and chuckled.

Eileen knew she’d dodged a bullet this time. She couldn’t help but reveal a relieved smile.

That was really close.

In the future, she must remember to criticize NightKing when she sees him, and never say anything good about him, otherwise she won’t be able to please Egbert.

When she found a reason to leave Egbert’s office, her back was still slightly sweaty.

Back in the dorm, Edna and the others were still writing their reflections. Eileen, after her near-death experience, felt a sense of camaraderie seeing them.

She leisurely walked over, peeked and asked, “You’re not done yet?”

Edna looked displeased, “None of your business!”

Eileen said, “It’s not my business, I just came over to gloat seeing you guys in trouble”

“You…” Edna was so angry she wanted to curse.

Patti stopped her, saying, “Don’t waste your breath, just write.”

Edna didn’t say anything, just continued writing her reflection.

Eileen shrugged, seeing no one argue with her, she went back to her bed disappointed, planning to take a nap.

Two days later, the troop started a drill

It was a small-scale military exercise.

There were a total of 100 soldiers, divided into red and blue armies. The exercise was held in a suburban mountainous area.

During the exercise, Eileen, Jaqueline, Colin, and Eddie were on the blue army, while the other two men and two women were on the red side.

When Jaqueline heard that she was with Eileen, she cried and asked the crew to switch.

After Eileen received her assigned gun, she heard the switch was successful. Jaqueline became a member of the red side, and another male guest was switched to her side.

Eileen curiously asked, “Can we just switch like that? Shouldn’t the commander decide?”

Colin said, “Yes, Mr. Reed agreed.”

Eileen didn’t say anything else, she didn’t like Jaqueline anyway.

A while later, the military vehicle came and took all fifty of them on the blue side to the battlefield.

After getting off the vehicle, Eileen saw that Aaron was the team leader, she frowned and asked Colin in a low voice, “Didn’t they say our commander is Mr. Reed?”

Colin quietly replied, “There was a last-minute switch, Mr. Reed is now the commander of the red army.”

Eileen’s face turned serious, “So Egbert is now with Edna, Patti, and Jaqueline?”

Colin couldn’t figure out why she only picked these three names. After all, Mr. Reed was leading the entire red army, with a total of fifty soldiers.

He tried to explain, “Mr. Reed…”

“No need to say more.””

Eileen waved him off, her face suddenly becoming serious. She pinched her fingers together, making a crisp sound, and said, “Just let him go.”

Colin was confused and asked, “What are you talking about?”

Eileen smacked Colin on the head and said angrily, “Nothing! Look ahead!”

Colin was at a loss. He was scolded and hit, and he looked at Eileen in confusion, not understanding why she was suddenly angry again.
