Chapter 140
Eileen’s eyes were sparkling with excitement.
She looked at Aurora and asked sincerely, “Tell me, if you snuff out a candle with your fingers, does it hurt?”
Aurora nodded hurriedly, nodding like a madwoman.
Eileen blinked and said, “I don’t believe it, I’m going to try!”
With that, she shoved the lit candle down….
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Two muffled moans sounded almost simultaneously.
Aurora was so scared her heart nearly leapt out of her chest. But when she came to her senses, she realized she didn’t feel the expected burn.
Turning her head, she saw that Eileen’s candle had landed directly on Hubery.
An immediate burn mark appeared on Hubery’s hand.
Aurora’s eyes grew wide in shock.
Eileen picked up the extinguished candle and tossed it aside, then began to look for other tools.
A
As she looked, she said, “Miss Aurora, don’t freak out. I treat you differently than him, I won’t really hurt you. But, I’m curious, why are you asking for trouble?”
Aurora, with tear stains all over her face, shook her head at Eileen.
Eileen nodded and said, “Hmm, I know you want to say this has nothing to do with you, that it’s all Hubery’s doing. To be honest, I believe you. You’re just a woman, a little bit of a drama queen, a bit shameless, but your actions are just small potatoes, just trying to scare people, talking about irrelevant things. I don’t think you’d really hurt anyone.”
Aurora nodded hurriedly, crying and nodding.
Eileen said, “So, I didn’t hurt you, right? I’ve been pretty decent to you.”
Aurora cried even harder, but with Eileen staring at her, she could only nod her agreement.
At this moment, Eileen found a bottle of sulfuric acid.
She raised an eyebrow and said, “This is an old friend of mine.”
-Then, she put on gloves and picked up the bottle of acid.
Upon seeing the sulfuric acid, Hubery immediately forgot about his burn, his face filled with terror.
Eileen turned to Aurora and said, “Miss Aurora, do you know why Hubery wanted to drag you into this? He didn’t need your help to attack me. He could have used any other excuse to lure me out, could have done it a long time ago. But why did he want you to be the one to do it? And why today?”
Aurora didn’t know, she just looked at Eileen in pain.
Eileen said, “Because he’s clever. Your stylist invited me to dinner, we entered the private room together, it’s all recorded on camera. If something happened to me, wouldn’t you be the prime
suspect?”
Aurora was stunned, looking at Hubery in disbelief.
Eileen laughed, “If we’re talking about cunning and cruelty, who can beat Hubery? But Miss Aurora, you’re partially responsible too.”
Aurora looked at Eileen, full of confusion.
“Why did you fail? Didn’t you say yesterday you were going to make me leave? But why didn’t you succeed? If I don’t leave, Hedy might leave. Hedy was eliminated today. If I stay, Hedy will only choose to quit the competition. Can Hubery accept that?”
“Hubery is head over heels for Hedy. If anyone dares to bully Hedy, to stop him from marrying the daughter of the Apex Synergy Group chairman, Hubery won’t let it slide.”
Only now did Aurora understand. She stared in shock at Hubery, who was beside her.
She never expected this young man, who she had always taken care of and respected, to be such a person!
Eileen opened the sulfuric acid bottle. With the bottle in hand, she walked over to Hubery and asked with a smile, “Hubery, let’s make a bet. If I splash this sulfuric acid on your face, do you think you’ll be disfigured? I don’t think you will, what about you?”
Hubery looked at Eileen in terror, shaking his head frantically.
“You also think it won’t?” Eileen nodded and said, “Alright, let’s find out if you’ll really stay pretty!”
With that, she seemed about to splash the acid….
“Bam!”
At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Eileen was taken aback, looking towards the door, her eyes narrowed.
“Bam! Bam!”
Two more knocks.
The private room door was about to be smashed open.
Eileen closed her mouth. She put the cap back on the sulfuric acid bottle and put it back on the table. She took off her gloves and picked up the folding
knife from before.
Without saying much, she plunged the knife into Hubery’s thigh.
“Ugh…ugh…” Hubery screamed in pain.
Eileen looked regretful and said, “It’s such a rare opportunity, can I stab you a few more times? Just a few!”
Hubery stared at Eileen in shock.
Eileen had already pulled the knife out and stabbed it back in.
“Ugh…ugh…ugh…” Hubery was in so much pain he was practically delirious!
Eileen whispered, “Shhh, keep it down. I didn’t hit an artery, you’re not going to die, don’t be scared.”
With that, she pulled the knife out again, this time stabbing it into Hubery’s other leg.
Hubery was already in so much pain he had passed out.
Eileen said, “Close your eyes, it won’t hurt if you close your eyes. Just a few more stabs…”
She said it was a few more stabs, but she stabbed him four or five more times.
Eileen seemed to be enjoying herself.
Hubery’s pants were soaked in blood, the red carpet spotted with drops of blood.
Aurora watched from the side, sweating nonstop, her entire body rigid, not daring to move a muscle.
The four burly men next to her were also trembling, all of them fearing they might be next!
“Bam!”
At that moment, the door was finally broken down.
Eileen immediately stood up, tossed the knife on the floor and kicked it under the table. She straightened up and acted like she hadn’t done anything.
The person who broke down the door was Chad’s bodyguard.
As soon as the door opened, several men rushed in. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Eileen was surrounded before she could react.
Karin pulled her.
Mr. Chad pulled her.
Someone else also pulled her.
Eileen was a bit dizzy.
At that moment, a warm hand gripped her shoulder and a familiar deep male voice came from above her.
“Eileen?”
Eileen blinked, a bit puzzled. She glanced up at the man standing in front of her in disbelief, “Egbert? What on earth are you doing here?”
Egbert stayed silent, his lips pressed into a thin line as he checked Eileen’s body.
Eileen, being turned and twisted, was a bit dizzy and managed to say, “I… I’m fine.”
Egbert finally stopped and took a closer look at Eileen.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the struggling group on the other side of the room.
“Eileen, are you okay?” Galen squeezed his way through.
Eileen was shocked to see Gafen there too, “Galen, why are you here too?”
Galen slapped Eileen’s arm, shouting, “I asked if you’re okay!”
“Ouch!” Eileen yelpéd, not expecting him to hit her, “That hurts!”
Galen was so pissed off it made his head buzz, “You seem pretty energetic to me!”

Eileen fell silent.
At that moment, one of Chad’s bodyguards said, “Mr. Chad, he’s
Eileen looked over to see Hubery, who the guard was referring to.
Hubery was covered in sweat from the waist up, and blood from the waist down. His head was drooped, unconscious,
“Ah-Karin screamed, apparently scared of blood.
Chad checked Hubery’s breathing, confirmed he was still alive, then turned back to Eileen.
They…”
Eileen immediately defended herself, “I didn’t do it! I don’t know a thing! Don’t call the cops on me!”
Chad was speechless.
Galen gave Eileen a suspicious look.
Karin also looked at her in disbelief.
Eileen thought this wasn’t going to work, so she decided to play the victim, “Actually, I’m injured too!”
Everyone immediately tensed up.
“Where?” Even Egbert coldly asked, “where do you hurt?”
Eileen held up her right hand, “I broke a nail!”
Egbert looked at Eileen for a moment, seeing the panic in her eyes.
He paused, grabbed the hand she held up, gently stroked it and whispered, “That’s quite a severe injury, does it hurt?”
Eileen looked at Egbert.
He was so easy to fool.
She nodded immediately, “It hurts like hell!”
Egbert nodded, then turned to the others, “I’ll take her to the hospital first, you guys handle things here.”
With that, he left with Eileen.
