Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 98

The sudden silence in the tent seemed to freeze the air.

Eileen was curiously eyeing two strange men.

A shocked old man. And a middle-aged man who looked worked up.

Eileen grabbed the tent curtain, turning to Egbert, “You’ve got stuff to do, so I’ll just go ask them myself.”

With that, she was about to leave.

“Hold on.” The middle-aged man suddenly blurted out.

Eileen stopped and looked back at him. “You…”

Just then, Egbert stepped forward, grabbing Blake’s shoulder to stop him from speaking.

Blake looked at Egbert.

Egbert turned his head and said to Eileen, “Go on, I’ll stay.”

Eileen didn’t understand what they were up to, she mumbled an “Okay” and left the tent.

The sound of the girl’s footsteps gradually faded away. Only then did Blake somewhat regain his senses.

He closed his eyes, lightly rubbing his temples.

“Egbert.” Derek sat on an uncomfortable folding chair and said in a deep voice, “I need an explanation.”

Egbert glanced at Derek, then patted Blake on the shoulder, signaling him to sit down.

Blake sat down. Egbert also pulled over a chair to sit.
