As Ari's head snapped back while the water bottle ricocheted into the air, several screams echoed through the space, and everything seemed to stand still for a moment before moving at a fast pace.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Is he okay?"
Bracing the reeling Justine, who looked as if she were about to cry, Grace quickly glanced in the direction the bottle had been thrown from, spotting a screaming girl with a tiara being grabbed by the people, and security was quickly approaching the area.
Not recognizing the face, Grace secretly took a photo for research before turning back to the stage, hoping that someone on the staff had the sense to stop the performance and check if Ari was okay.
Even if things were ruined, contestant safety should be the first priority.
Instead, what she saw was that no staff members were rushing onto the stage, and the music was still going even as several of the contestants froze in shock.
