Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 322: Santa Maria

There are windows spanning over ten stories, stretching across the harbor.

Its massive size nearly occupies the entire port.

As night falls, colorful neon lights flicker on the cruise ship.

Filled with psychedelic colors.

Someone who had boarded the Santa Maria once said, on the ship, you can become wealthy overnight, have everything.

But you can also plunge into the abyss overnight, losing everything.

Apart from auctions, there are plenty of gambling entertainment facilities on the ship.

The auction items at the sea auction are rare in the world.

The items can be lifeless objects, land deeds, or... intelligence.

At the entrance, there are many Colombo Family members verifying identities and searching items.

After all, firearms are not allowed on the cruise ship.

Hughes took out four masks and distributed them to the people in the car.

"Everyone boarding the Santa Maria must wear a mask, it’s a rule of the Colombo Family, and also a way to protect guests’ privacy."

Selena Kensington nodded, took the mask, and put it on her face.

Once everyone had put on their masks, they got out of the car.

After getting out, Sterling Norwood took Selena’s hand.

"Don’t leave my side later."

He instructed.

Selena nodded.

After all, those who can board the Santa Maria are big figures from various fields.

She obediently stayed by Sterling’s side, just watching the auction. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Hughes walked ahead and handed over an invitation card to the person.

The person took a look and immediately became serious, "So it’s Mr. Leon, welcome you and your friends."

Hughes nodded coolly, no longer the chatterbox he was in the car.

After passing the inspection of the metal detector gate, a ship’s attendant led them inside the cruise ship and arranged rooms for them.

Once they received their room keys, the attendant took them to the venue of today’s auction.

The auction hall on the Santa Maria has three floors.

The entire hall is circular, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the dome.

At the forefront is a subtly raised curved auction stage, separated from the seats below by a road, followed by rows of seats.

The second and third floors can only be seen through windows.

The first floor is reserved for people with relatively ordinary status on the cruise, sitting in the middle seats of the hall.

The second floor is for those either of higher status or friendly with the Colombo Family.

The third floor belongs exclusively to the Colombo Family.

As the waiter led them inside, there were already many masked people sitting in the hall.

Some were chatting and socializing with others, while others flirted and chatted with their female companions.

The group bypassed the people in the hall, going up the stairs to the second floor.

"Please come this way."

The attendant led them to the second-floor staircase entrance.

Just as they were about to enter, Selena saw two men in black suits leading two foreign beauties down from the third floor.

One of the foreign beauties was innocent, the other alluring.

Their skin was delicate, pale, with eyes seemingly able to seduce anyone.

Captivating.

Both wore very little clothing, and the alluring beauty’s proud bust barely contained by the fabric.

Yet at this moment, both had slightly hunched shoulders, disheveled hair, and eyes filled with fear and trepidation.

Without a word, they followed the two men down.
