NovelEnglishChapter 403: The insults and anger quickly turned on Elsa, with seven throwing wine at her.
"Elsa, be careful!" Rachel shouted, trying to pull her away.
But in an instant, the attacks redirected, now targeting Rachel instead. She managed to dodge the spilled wine, but then, a large cup of steaming hot water was hurled straight at her chest.
Hot water splashed over Rachel's dress, soaking it instantly. The burning sensation was so intense that she couldn't even cry out. Her skin felt as though flames had licked over it, and even breathing beca struggle.

The room filled with mocking laughter.
"It's just a little hot water-why is she acting so tic?" "She's always picking on Tracy, but now she can't handle a bit of hot water herself?" "Exactly!

"Are you okay? Can you stand?" he asked, reaching out to help her.
