Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 65

Elaine frowned, asking in confusion, “How did you?”

“Prize money”” The girl opposite her suddenly rushed over, grabbing Elaine’s shoulder with a force that was somewhat terrifying. “There’s prize money? How much? How much? Tell me, how much is it?”

Elaine was shaken until she felt dizzy, stammering out. First place,one hundred thousand dollars.”

The shaking suddenly stopped

Elaine, dizzy managed to stand up straight. When she lifted her eyes, she saw Eileen look at her with fierce anticipation.

“We have to come first! If you mess me up and cost me the prize money. I’ll throw you to the wolves Eileen warned her

Elaine was left totally clueless by the outburst.

She angrily pushed Eileen’s hand away, heading straight forward. “I won’t mess you up. just don’t mess with me! I’m also aiming for first place. If I can’t get first, then I might as well be last. What are you doing?”

Elaine was suddenly pulled back

Turning to look, it was Eileen who had grabbed her backpack.

Eileen quickly snatched Elaine’s backpack, slinging it over her own shoulders Tll carry the bag. Ill scout ahead, you just follow behind and don’t lag For a hundred grand, I’m all in!”

Elaine was stunned and wanted to reach for her bag, but a thin branch smacked her hand back. Her hand turned red instantly.

Eileen turned to her with a fierce look, “Touch my stuff again, and I’ll smack you!”

Elaine was speechless.

The stuff in the bag belonged to both of them. And as a soldier, she would definitely prioritize a civilian’s needs. Was she worried Elaine would take the stuff for herself?

Elaine’s face darkened, wondering what Mr. Reed saw in this girl.

But as Eileen had already assumed the role of leader, Elaine decided not to argue and quietly followed behind.
