Because the ladder was placed in a corner towards the edge, it usually went unnoticed by most people.
Riley Thompson was hidden in that corner, and even if the ladder were to be pushed over, it would take some time for everyone on the scene to react.
Therefore, after the ladder was pushed over, as it was halfway to the ground, people finally realized something was wrong.
"Oh my God! The ladder is falling!"
"Run quickly!"
"Miss Thompson is in danger!"
Charlotte Thompson was looking down at the script in her hands when she heard the chaotic shouting around her, and Annie Anne, not far from her, was running towards her.
By the time Charlotte Thompson turned her head, she saw a huge object tipping over towards her.
Charlotte Thompson's pupils instinctively contracted, but even though her brain had reacted, her limbs could not move fast enough to dodge out of the way.
