Chapter 358 Is Something Wrong With Her Head?
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.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
The person who jumped in looks like… Gareth!
As she was still splashing about, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Her lashes trembled slightly. She did not say anything but let the man grab her.
She considered this place had many staff, guests, and other people who could have saved her. Even Nicole likely would not stand there and do nothing.
Never did she expect Gareth was the one who would come to save her.
Seeing that Gareth had jumped in, no one else planned to enter the waters. Everyone remained on the shore and watched Gareth carefully hold her in his arms and bring her to the shore.
Thomas was waiting on the shore and quickly helped them onto it.
However, Elisa’s gown was soaked through and clung tightly to her body, making her curves even more apparent.
One could see her exquisite figure from the way her gown stuck to her. Gareth’s expression darkened. His clothes were wet, so he turned to Thomas.
Thomas immediately took off his jacket. Then, Gareth covered Elisa with the jacket to hide her curves.
He did not care what anyone would think and carried her in his arms, letting the jacket cover her body.
Elisa was startled. “You…”
Gareth had a solemn expression and did not say anything but headed away from this place.
He passed by the banquet hall and showed up in the live broadcast.
The audience could not hear anything and did not know what had happened. When they saw Elisa was drenched, the audience became even more confused.
—Spring Dawn: My goodness! Mr. Wickam is carrying her in his arms!
—Have A Look: What’s going on? Why is Elisa drenched all over?
—Gareth Wickam Is My Hubby: I think the banquet is held on an island. Could she have fallen into the waters?
—Spring Dawn: Could it be another of Elisa’s tricks to get Mr. Wickam to hold her? How can she be so devious? She is the one who wanted a divorce, and now she’s playing this. Is something wrong with her head?
