Elisa was startled.
She did not react even as ice-cold water seeped through her clothes.
Who pushed me? Was it Nicole?
Although I heard Nicole can be ruthless, she is still a dignified person and does not seem like someone who would resort to this.
Since the banquet is a live broadcast, could Linda and her family be behind this?
They don't know that I can swim very well.
Elisa narrowed her eyes. Should I pretend that I can't swim and wait for the rescue?
She splashed about in the waters and made it seem like she could not swim.
Suddenly, a person screamed, "Someone fell into the waters! Please come and save her!"
It was hard to determine if the person who shouted was a staff or a guest at the banquet.
But her scream alerted everyone in the banquet.
Others called out for help too, and many more people rushed outside to have a look.
Gareth also heard the call for help.
His heart thumped urgently for an unknown reason. He immediately glanced at the couch in the corner and furrowed his brow when he realized Elisa had gone to the washroom and did not return.
Then, he realized the scream was coming from the direction of the washroom. His face turned pale, and he immediately ran in that direction.
"It's Ms. Benett! Is there anyone who can swim? Please save her!"
Someone suddenly shouted, making Gareth even more anxious.
He did not stop to think but glanced toward the waters and confirmed Elisa was in it before jumping straight in.
Elisa was stunned.
