Julia Sanders giggled and approached Claire Donovan, whispering conspiratorially, “The organizers said they can arrange a yacht just for us. We can sneak aboard without anyone knowing, enjoy the sea,
and then return on our own.”

A yacht just for them! Claire’s excitement heightened it felt like a special treat from the
organizers. Despite Sean Vanderbilt’s wealth, they hadn’t considered sailing on a yacht during this
trip. It would have been a regret not to experience it while here.
“Absolutely, let’s do it,” Claire agreed without a second thought.
Julia, grinning, took her hand, and they sneakily made their way through the crowd towards the stern.
Frederick Vanderbilt, watching the girls‘ excitement, shook his head in amusement. “Had I known they
were so keen on sailing, we could have arranged it ourselves, avoiding all this fuss.”
Sean Vanderbilt hadn’t anticipated this either. He knew Claire loved the islands, but hadn’t thought
of chartering a yacht for her to enjoy. “No problem,” he said, following Claire and Julia, “We’ll buy
a yacht when we get back. Whenever we want to sail, we’ll sail.”
Frederick raised an eyebrow – his younger brother was indeed unparalleled in pampering his wife.
After a bit of maneuvering to avoid prying eyes, they reached the stern, where the manager of the
organizers was already waiting for them. His face lit up with a pleased smile upon seeing them.
“I originally planned for you to board the yacht amidst everyone’s envy, but I didn’t expect such a
strong reaction. We had to settle for a discreet departure,” he explained.
Claire smiled appreciatively. “Thank you. We wouldn’t have minded without it, but since you’ve gone
to the trouble, we’re happy to accept your kind offer.”
The manager chuckled and gestured towards the yacht. “Everything’s prepared – drinks and all. You can
enjoy it for a couple of days. Have a wonderful time at sea.”
The extra preparations only added to Claire’s satisfaction. After a few more words of thanks, she
Julia eagerly boarded the yacht.

The yacht was perfect for a serene sea adventure, just the four of them, away from the crowds and
formalities of the cruise.
Once aboard, they waited for the person to pilot the yacht, but after ten minutes, there was no sign of them. Claire frowned, puzzled, and looked back at the manager standing on the cruise ship. The manager, apologetic, smiled weakly and hurried away…
The person had been arranged in advance and should have been on the yacht already. The manager h seen him just moments ago, but now he had disappeared, probably having grown impatient and gone back
to the cruise ship.
The manager had only taken a few steps when the missing individual showed up. Seeing him, the manager
frowned, “Where have you been? The guests are already here.”
The man glanced back, looking somewhat guilty, “I went to the restroom.”
–
The restroom? The manager was puzzled the yacht had facilities, so why go back to the cruise ship?
The man, seemingly eager to avoid further questioning, hurried past the manager towards the yacht.
calling back. “Alright, I’m going now.”
The manager scratched his head as he watched the man’s retreating figure, not dwelling too much on it. He watched the yacht sail away before leaving the scene.
Those on the cruise ship, noticing the yacht’s departure, began to express their discontent. “What’s
the meaning of this? Wasn’t the sailing canceled? Why is it leaving now?”
“Look, there’s Claire Donovan and her group on the yacht!” someone suddenly exclaimed Indeed.
Claire, Sean, and the others were visible on the yacht’s deck.
Outcries of indignation followed. “That’s unfair! They deceived us!”
“Exactly, it’s just because of the ‘Tears of the Rose, isn’t it? The organizers are showing too much
favoritism. We’ve never heard of such treatment for ‘Tears of the Rose‘ before!”
“Some people have all the luck! Probably the organizers are trying to curry favor with Sinclaire
Jewelry because of their collaboration with YJYO.”
