Joey saw someone coming towards her and immediately tried to step back.
After a few stumbling steps, she realized there was a champagne tower behind her.
She instantly felt danger looming.
Just as she thought she would be covered in glass wounds, a big hand suddenly gripped her waist from behind.
In one smooth motion, she found herself enveloped in his embrace.
Joey heard screams and the shattering sound of the champagne tower collapsing and then she could feel some liquid flowing around her.
Assuming it was the champagne, she was shocked to realize it was crimson blood.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Not feeling any pain, she wondered where the blood came from.
Just then, she saw Frederic rushing towards her from the crowd.
He pulled her up from the ground, his voice trembling.
