Chapter 162

• Upon arriving at the yacht, Tedmond noticed three men in suits standing beside it. They were bodyguards responsible for checking the guests' cards. Persis handed one of them a card. The man glanced at it before raising his head to look at her and Tedmond.
• "You can go in. Access granted," one of the men said, stepping aside to let them pass.
• Persis retook Tedmond's arm inside the yacht and led him in. The interior was so cozy that Tedmond couldn't help but glance around. Soft golden lights reflected off the polished wooden floors, casting a warm glow over the elegantly decorated space. A slow jazz melody hummed in the background, blending with the gentle lapping of the waves against the vessel.
