Chapter 451
“I’m not interested,” Shermaine said without hesitation, her tone flat.
She pulled the door open and walked out without looking back.
The woman hurried after her. “Ms. Hanks, please! This tournament is made for someone like you, I’ve never seen anyone gamble the way you do if you make it into the top hundred, you’ll be on the global broadcast.
“Win that, and you’re set for life. No more worries about money. Plus, there are all sorts of benefits. Just… think about it?”
Shermaine paused at the mention of the global broadcast. The idea was tempting. If her face showed up on screen, Joshua might see it. But the risk was obvious. And at this point, that wasn’t something she could afford.
Without a word, she kept walking.
To her surprise, right there in the crowded terminal, the woman dropped to her knees and wrapped herself around Shermaine’s leg, “Please, just consider it,” she begged. “I’m really desperate.”
Shermaine’s jaw clenched slightly as curious stares began to turn their way. Her voice turned cold. “Let go.”
The woman hesitated. She could feel the pressure in Shermaine’s voice, the calm but unmistakable threat.
She reluctantly released her grip, but her face was filled with disappointment, on the verge of tears.
She knew it wasn’t right to drag a stranger into her mess. But Shermaine had an energy about her, something powerful, unshakable. Jasmine couldn’t help but reach for it.
Shermaine’s expression eased just slightly. She was about to walk off when the woman suddenly cried out, “Look out!”
The warning came just in time. A maintenance robot, clearly malfunctioning, came barreling toward them across the terminal.
The woman threw herself in front of Shermaine, taking the brunt of the impact with a sharp cry.
Shermaine spun around, arm shooting out to redirect the robot with surprising force, slamming it into a nearby pillar.
The woman winced, holding her side, voice quiet and full of regret. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have tried to drag you into this.”
She turned and started to limp away, clearly giving up. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. She’d just wanted one shot at honoring the legacy her family had passed down. That was all.
Shermaine watched her for a moment, then sighed. Something in her softened. “Wait.”
The woman froze, then turned back, eyes wide with hope.
“You threw yourself in front of a damn robot for me,” Shermaine said dryly. “The least you can do is tell me the real reason you’re so desperate for me to
enter this tournament.”
The woman nodded quickly. “Of course. But can we go somewhere quieter first?”
