Before I could fully process Cole's dramatic rescue attempt, another splash followed. Victor. Of course. He was swimming toward me with determined strokes.
Then came a third splash—Daniel? My jaw nearly dropped as I watched him enter the water, his normally composed demeanor abandoned as he swam to my side.
And then, the unthinkable happened.
With a sharp cry, Sophie flailed into the pool, creating an eruption of water. My gaze snapped to Lina, who stood at the edge, casually brushing her hands together with a sweet, unbothered smile.
"Oops. My leg slipped," she said, her voice dripping with mock innocence.
No one dared to question her. If Lina Fay claimed she slipped, then she slipped. If she insisted Sophie jumped on her own and that Lina hadn't kicked her, no one would dare argue—especially not with Cain and Leanna Lee present.
