That instantly shocked everyone present at the scene.
Upon looking up at the wall, they saw a woman standing completely still at the edge.
She was dressed in tattered clothes and had her body covered in dirt.
As everyone’s attention had been focused on the opening ceremony, no one noticed the woman making her way up there.
The journalists quickly pointed their cameras at the woman, drawing even more attention toward her.
Some of the staff members stamped their feet in anxiousness.
“What do we do? I can’t believe someone wants to commit suicide at an opening ceremony! That is definitely not a good sign!”
“Exactly! Why would she attempt to kill herself at a time like this?”
“I bet the entertainment companies that sponsored us are going to have their stocks plummet tonight!”
Gwendolyn showed no emotion whatsoever even after hearing their conversation. “Call the police and the fire department. Have them prepare the rescue cushions!” she ordered calmly.
Those words had barely left Gwendolyn’s mouth when the woman on top of the wall screamed, “Don’t call the police! Nobody leaves this place, or I’ll jump right away!”
Huh? That voice sounds so familiar…
“Eloise?” Gwendolyn called out to her with an uncertain frown.
The woman paused briefly before bursting into laughter. “Hahaha! I didn’t think you’d still remember me, Gwendolyn! Well, are you surprised to see me here?”
Behind that messy hair of hers was a pair of bloodshot eyes that glared viciously at Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn simply narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at her without saying a word.
Eloise then turned toward the group of journalists and yelled at the top of her voice, “I am Eloise Ferguson, the daughter of the Ferguson family! This woman over here framed me and got me locked up in prison! As if that wasn’t bad enough, she even had people beat me up in prison every single day! She has destroyed my life! You remember this, Gwendolyn! I will be sure to ruin your life! My blood will be all over this place and on your hands! Not even Treyton will be able to save you from the wrath of the netizens! And you, Jennifer! You ruined my relationship with Treyton and stole him from me, so you should leave the entertainment industry as well! How do you even bring yourself to face your fans after everything you’ve done?”
Her words shocked the living daylights out of those who were not in the know.
What? Gwendolyn, the biggest investor of the show, actually sent someone to prison over a personal grudge? And Jennifer, who just won the Best Actress Award, stole someone else’s man?
That was such shocking news that either one of them could cause an uproar once it was made viral on the internet.
The crowd exchanged glances and began gossiping among themselves.
As for the journalists, they had recorded everything Eloise said on camera.
Gwendolyn was the only person who remained calm throughout the confrontation.
She took a few steps forward and looked up at Eloise, who was cackling maniacally on the wall, as she said in disdain, “Do you really think those words of yours would affect me at all? You wanted to jump, right? Well? Go ahead and jump! I’m waiting.”
