Chapter 371

It all happened so fast.

Even the most seasoned schemers or top-tier drama queens-the kind who'd explode over the pettiest slights-wouldn't push someone on an escalator over a few harmless words.

It was reckless beyond belief.

But Vespera had sensed something was off the moment Carly raised her hand. As Carly reached out, Vespera shifted her body just in time to dodge.

Carly's hand swiped through empty air, and with the momentum behind her, she stumbled forward instead.

"Ahh-!"

A sharp scream rang out.

Selena quickly grabbed Carly's arm, but in the same motion, she also latched onto Nancy, who had frozen in shock, and used her for support.

But Nancy was slim and not particularly strong. The sudden tug startled her so badly that she let out a scream of her own.

Seeing the two women above about to topple and possibly take her down with them, Vespera had no choice but to step in and grab Carly as well.

Between the three of them, they just barely managed to keep Carly from falling down the escalator.

The whole thing was chaotic and nerve-wracking, but in truth, it had all happened in the span of just a few seconds.
