Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen



Carrol was at his wit's end. Furrowing his brow, he asked, "What is going on?"

Eileen, with a cool detachment, handed her phone over to Carrol.

At the same time, Renee's assistant scurried over, phone in hand, drenched in sweat, showing it to Renee!

The makeup room fell into a sudden hush. Everyone's eyes were glued to their screens, including all the staff members.

But Egbert couldn't care less about all that drama. He was just looking in Eileen's direction, his voice laced with concern, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Eileen hadn't, indeed. But she ignored Egbert, busying herself with the fruit on the coffee table while Carrol was peering into her phone.

Egbert then stood up and walked over to the other side of the room, grabbing a carton of milk and a slice of cake.

Instead of handing them directly to Eileen, he placed the breakfast on the table beside her and then stepped away.

At first, Eileen was determined not to touch anything Egbert brought her. But once he walked away, she let out a huff, opened the box, and began to eat.

Renee, staring at the content on her phone, turned a shade that was a mix of pale and green, shaking with anger, "Lies! These are all lies!"

No one in the makeup room responded to her. All eyes were watching her with subtle expressions.

Twitter had been particularly lively these past couple of days.

Just last night, the online community was abuzz, staying up late to gossip about Eileen's public altercation with a pregnant woman. But today, the tables had turned!

Beneath the five scathing trending hashtags against Renee, two more hashtags reflected the current state of the online community: Trending #13: #WishThereWasANationalGossipTimeStandard#NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Trending #19: #CanBigNewas DropOnRestDays BecauseWeekdaysAreKilling Me#

Flipping to today's hot Twitter topics, the top ten were all about Renee.

And right at the top, the hottest topic was the revelation that Renee was the "mistress" in a high-profile affair.

The Twitter ID belonged to an official company account named "Sunbeam Silhouettes," verified with a blue checkmark.

At nine this morning, they posted a brief announcement.

Sunbeam Silhouettes: [Over the next few months, Sunbeam will be temporarily closed for rebranding. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.] Sunbeam Silhouettes, being the most profitable clothing brand under the Iverson Group and favored by many for its trendy designs over the past couple of years, naturally stirred up questions from its fans when it announced a sudden temporary closure.

The top comment asked: -[Why close for a rebrand? I was looking forward to the new monthly releases!]

The official Sunbeam Silhouettes account replied: -[It's an internal company issue. The chairman and his wife are undergoing divorce proceedings. Until the property division is clear, the chairman's wife cannot return to work, and the design department will be completely stalled. ] Those familiar with the brand knew that all of Sunbeam's designs came directly from the chairman's wife, Ms. Fidelia, who oversaw the fashion design department.

The commenter, not expecting to be called out, quickly replied politely: -[Oh, I see. I hope for a swift and favorable resolution then. ]

But unexpectedly, the official account responded again: -[The resolution might not be favorable. The chairman's girlfriend, @Renee, is already pregnant. Since the chairman had an affair during his marriage, the upcoming property settlement is likely to be contentious. ]

And that's how the story began.

Before yesterday, few knew who Renee was.

The online community first took serious notice of Renee, a D-list actress, yesterday evening when several trending topics erupted about "Eileen being a bully, targeting Renee."

At the time, people were just in for the drama; without evidence, the buzz was there, but the substance was lacking.

But unexpectedly, last night, Eileen herself posted a tweet publicly slapping Renee.

This set the entire inte ablaze!

Without proof, the allegations of Eileen being a bully, targeting Renee, were just rumors, but now you've incriminated yourself?

In an instant, the comments section turned into chaos!

Heartbroken fans started to unfollow and backlash.

Rival fans joined in, stirring the pot.

And there were even paid trolls, reveling in the mess, muddying the waters even further.

At this time, the real fans of Eileen went radio silent.

In Eileen's fan forum, the core followers urged the others.

-Wait!

Yes! Wait!

The sudden outbreak of seven or eight trending topics on "Eileen targeting Renee" seemed suspicious.

Even more so was Eileen's own admission to the slap!

Fans who knew Eileen were aware that she might be arrogant, but she never did anything against her principles. Her father was a military man, and she too dreamed of joining the forces-heck, her public schedule even mentioned taking a break from work in July to prepare for military academy exams!

So her real fans refused to believe that a girl with a soldier's spirit would randomly assault a pregnant woman!

Patiently, the fans waited.

And after a night-long vigil, they were vindicated by the truth!

This morning, Sunbeam Silhouettes' reply escalated to a major news story!

With five explosive trending topics, they hammered Renee!

Some fans even pulled strings to get insider information from the Iverson Group.

Thus, the Twitter hot topics, aside from Sunbeam Silhouettes' closure notice at the top.

The rest were deep dives from Eileen's fans.

Hot Twitter Topic #2: [You wanted proof that Renee is a mistress? Here it is, no words needed, just look at these nine photos! ]

Hot Twitter Topic #3: [Breaking news! Check out this video! The wife was actually the coach who discovered Renee during a talent show. Renee, you've really outdone yourself, betraying the person who supported you, sleeping with her husband! How shamelessly clever of you. ]

As Fidelia scrolled down her feed, the trending topics on Twitter were ablaze with gossip. The fourth, fifth, and sixth tweets were all damning evidence of Renee and Hans's affair.

The revelations continued until the tenth post, which was the final nail in the coffin: Renee was indeed 'the other woman.'

Fidelia was utterly gobsmacked by the trending searches.

She confronted the PR manager, "Didn't I hand you the plan? The one from Nathan Finance's manager, Mr. Gentry? It detailed exactly when to drop the first bombshell, and then the second, all meticulously crafted by Ms. Lopez to maximize the ripple effect online. It's all for the leverage in my divorce settlement. Why did you just throw everything out there at once?"

The PR manager quickly retorted, "I only followed the plan! I dropped the first hint about Renee being a homewrecker, just like we discussed!"

"But that doesn't explain all this other evidence," Fidelia exclaimed. "Holy smokes! They even dug up hotel records from three years ago? How in the world did Gentry manage that?"

The manager clarified, "These aren't from Mr. Gentry. His dossier only had evidence from the past year. He mentioned that they didn't have time to compile anything older."

Fidelia was flabbergasted, "Then... where did all this come from?"

After a brief Twitter investigation, the manager had an epiphany, "Oh, I see now. I checked Ms. Lopez's fan club hashtag, and it's her followers who are behind all this. They claim they nearly worked themselves sick last night and are out to 'blow up the inte today. They're even boasting to Twitter's staff that it's Eileen's fanbase that calls the shots on this platform!"
