Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1331 - Life Is Actually So Fragile!

Chapter 1331: Life Is Actually So Fragile!

After having been through such a terrifying incident, everything that happened sent their hearts racing in fear. However, it had only been at most three minutes since Wen Xinya gave everyone the reminder and chaos broke out.
However, under such dangerous circumstances, three minutes could be lethal.
Even the people who stood around the runway could feel the tremor of the chandelier falling onto the ground without warning, let alone Wen Xinya who had been standing right below it.
The large chandelier was already extremely heavy, to begin with. Hence, the gravitational force and impact would be stronger. Everyone could imagine the consequences that would entail if the chandelier were to fall onto someone.
It would be absolutely fatal.
So, is it more likely than not, that Wen Xinya has met with danger?
“Has Miss Wen already…” someone amongst the crowd muttered while sobbing softly.
The weeping and sobbing caused panic and fear to arouse within many and a sudden tension filled the air.
“How could she have survived after such a huge chandelier landed on her? Sigh…”
Everyone could not help but sympathize with Wen Xinya, who was just standing gloriously on the runway and showcasing the jewelry in a ravishing manner. She was clearly the star of the night. Yet, such an unexpected twist of events happened.
Life was indeed so fragile.
Zhou Tianyu and the rest of the clique turned as pale as sheets and Du Ruo had already begun tearing up. The incident happened way too quickly and suddenly. Chaos had already broken out by the time they realized what was going on.
Wen Haowen did show some signs of fear and panic when he saw the runway turning pitch dark, but he managed to calm himself down soon enough. He tried to comfort himself by telling himself, It was just an accident and it has nothing to do with me at all. Wen Xinya only has herself to blame for being so insensible as to go against me.
Wen Xinya had already secured her position in the Wen Corporation by becoming the head designer of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry brand through her own abilities and talent in jewelry design. Hence, she had already begun posing a threat to Wen Haowen. If Old Mr. Wen were to successfully aid her in creating her own brand, her position would become extraordinary. It would then be a matter of time before the Wen Corporation belonged to her, especially since she had Old Mr. Wen’s support.
They were already nearing the end of the entertainment city project and the Wen Corporation would become his in no time. He could not allow anyone to ruin his plan during this critical juncture. Hence, Wen Xinya must die!
The Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition was a good chance for him to take action.
No one would suspect him because they would all just think that it was an accident.
Wen Haowen clenched his fists tightly and muttered under his breath, “Wen Xinya, don’t blame me!”
He then shut his eyes tightly.
However, images of Mo Yunyao appearing menacing and devilish before her death began to flash through his mind and her reminder for him to treat Wen Xinya well also seemed to ring in his ears. It was as if it all happened yesterday.
At last, a horrifying and demonic voice sounded in his head, “I won’t let you off even after I’m dead… I won’t let you off even after I’m dead…”
Wen Haowen then plunged into a state of anxiety and horror as a cold shiver was sent down his spine, making his breathing become heavy and dense. He began to gasp and wheeze while his body quivered uncontrollably…
“No… don’t…” He subconsciously took a step back, feeling a strong urge to cover his ears.
Just as he was about to scream, someone grabbed his clammy and stiffened hand. “Haowen, why is your hand so cold? Are you alright!?!” she asked sultrily.
Wen Haowen suddenly felt a sense of relief and he snapped back to reality. His singlet was drenched in cold sweat and the freezing temperature made him shiver.
Calming himself down, he exclaimed, “I’m alright!”
With tinges of fear and horror in his hoarse and shaky voice, he could not help but grab Ning Shuqian’s hand tightly.
Ning Shuqian could sense the sweatiness of his palm and after recalling the bizarre expression that he had on his face just now, she could guess how petrified he was at the moment. She thought to herself, What a coward!
At this moment, Wen Haowen was overwhelmed with fatigue and he felt an inexplicable feebleness in his body even though he had snapped out of his thoughts.
Mo Yunyao’s death had given him too great of a blow and the thought of it still made him feel horrified even to this day.
The employees of Soaring Public Relations company and the hotel were busy trying to reconnect the power sources and the runway was again lit up.
Everyone could imagine the bloodbath that would have been caused by the fallen chandelier. Even if Wen Xinya did not die, she would have been severely injured. In fact, her body might even have been dismembered. Unable to brace themselves for the gruesome and bloody sight, they quickly turned away.
Some of the braver souls carefully looked towards the runway while their hearts ricocheted vigorously against their chest, threatening to jump out.
There were glass shards from the chandelier scattered all over the runway. To their surprise, Wen Xinya was nowhere in sight.
Someone gasped in shock.
“Miss Wen is not on the runway!” a voice yelled in agitation and joy. Everyone turned to look at the runway in disbelief.
There was a huge mess on the runway as the broken chandelier and crystal shards laid quietly in the middle, exuding a cold and terrifying glow. There were no bloodstains on the runway, nor was Wen Xinya.
“Miss Wen really isn’t there. She’s alright!” At this moment, everyone felt a huge sense of relief, for they felt that Wen Xinya must have escaped the ordeal since she wasn’t on the runway. They instantly felt happy for her. After all, no one on earth liked witnessing the death of someone, what more a promising youth who had saved all of them from danger by giving a timely warning.
She’s not there!
At this moment, Ning Shuqian widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared hard at the runway in a bid to find traces of evidence of Wen Xinya’s death.
“Since Miss Wen is not on the runway, where is she now?” someone asked. Everyone wanted to see Wen Xinya with their own eyes so as to ensure that she was really alright. After all, they all found it unbelievable for her to be able to escape from such a massive chandelier.
