Chapter 456
From a single glance, Sweetport seemed like something out of a dream.
Its clear, meandering canals shimmered in the sunlight, boats drifted lazily across the water, and the surrounding architecture was both distinctive and picturesque, casting a surreal charm over the entire city.
On one of the livelier streets, Jasmine was pushing a stroller. Gracie was awake but quiet, soothed by the lullaby playing from inside and insulated from the noise outside.
To avoid drawing attention to the oddities about her, Gracie wore an impossibly cute bunny–eared hat. Her unusual hair color couldn’t be changed, so they simply kept people at a distance.
Inside a boutique for mothers and infants, Shermaine was calmly stocking up on essentials, everything Gracie would need in the days ahead. She appeared entirely at ease, as if she hadn’t a care in the world and no fear whatsoever of being found.
By dusk, a golden glow bathed Sweetport. The glistening waters and exotic facades seemed to bask under a divine light, making the entire city feel otherworldly in its beauty.
Soon, they boarded a magnificent cruise ship, the venue for tonight’s International Gambling Tournament. This was the Top Hundred round. Twenty would be eliminated, leaving eighty to battle for a place in the Top Fifty.
From there, the field would narrow to twenty, then ten, and finally crown a single winner, the title of gambling king, the throne no one shared.
The ship’s interior was bustling, guests flowing in from all sides.
Most were dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns.
Thanks to Shermaine, Jasmine came aboard as her companion, which meant full access to everything, gourmet dining, premium wines, a private suite, and even front–row WIP seats to the tournament.
Of course, with Gracie along, it wasn’t exactly convenient to stay in the crowd. But there would be a live broadcast, so watching from the room would do just fine.
At that moment, the cruise ship’s giant screen began displaying profiles of the Top Hundred contestants.
As soon as Shermaine boarded, her image lit up the screen.
She was breathtaking, impossible not to notice.
A smooth, resonant voice came over the sound system. “Please welcome Boa Hanks, one of our Top Hundred players, a stunning and enigmatic competitor!”
The camera panned straight to her, and a reporter stepped forward for an interview.
He smiled politely. “Ms. Hanks, do you feel confident about making it into the Top Ten?”
Shermaine wasn’t the only woman in the competition, but she stood out in every way, beauty, presence, and an air of danger.
No one knew much about her, but even if she didn’t win, her future in the gambling world was already secure.
Just having her at a table was enough to attract wealthy high–rollers in droves.
