Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Highest Bidder Wins the Auction
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Xaviera Evans asked, âIs eight million not enough?â
The auctioneer hurriedly nodded, âEight, eight million, thatâs enough, thatâs enough! Miss Evans bids eight million, is there a higher bid?â
A few onlookers who had mocked Xaviera for not spending money suddenly lowered their heads, their faces full of embarrassment.
Wasnât Miss Woods saying that Xaviera didnât have any money? Why would she spend eight million on a necklace?
Although the necklace is valuable, it should only be worth three million at most. Eight million is a sky-high price.
Has Xaviera gone crazy? Spending so much unnecessary money?
Zara Woodsâ face turned green, her nails digging into her palm.
Suki Woods blurted out in anger, âXaviera! Youâre doing this on purpose, arenât you? My sister already bid five million! Why are you still competing?â
âIâm also doing this for the sick children?â Xaviera replied with an indifferent smile, continuing, âActually, the money doesnât matter. Whatâs the matter with spending some money to help cure the children? Whoever bids the highest wins in an auction. Does that mean I canât bid just because your sister wants
âYouâŠâ Suki Woods suddenly choked, her face turning red.
Xavieraâs words left her speechless, yet Xaviera was clearly pretending, and still talking about helping the sick children.
Zaraâs eyes were cold and bitter, but when she looked up again, she showed a gentle smile. âItâs alright, Xaviera. If you want it, Iâll give it to you.â The auctioneerâs hammer fell, and everyone couldnât help but look at Xaviera.
Most of them brought only five million dollars to the auction, thinking about winning a few small items. But Xaviera spent eight million dollars on a single necklace!
Thatâs all money!
Considering this, Xaviera didnât seem as selfish as Mr. Mamet said, did she?
âMiss Evans is quite generous too. Just now Mr. Mamet said she wouldnât donate. That must have been a misunderstanding.â
âSomeone who bids eight million dollars like that must not be a greedy or selfish woman, this time weâve seen it incorrectly.â
âItâs all because of Zara Woods acting with Jake Lindsey to ruin Xavieraâs reputation. Xaviera clearly has money, not everyone can afford eight million dollars!â
Hearing the surrounding comments, Suki Woods stomped her foot angrily.
âSis, donât be mad. Xaviera can only win this one item, and itâs not even certain if she can come up with the eight million dollars!â
Zara Woods managed to force a smile, âXaviera is doing this for the poor children. Xaviera, thank you for being sincere in helping them.â The next second, the auctioneer brought out the next item.
Suki Woods immediately beamed with joy, âSis, you can bid on this one. Xaviera will definitely not have any money left.â
The auctioneer: âThis is a 10-carat diamond necklace from South Africa. It is said to be a masterpiece by the jewelry master Eila, representing steadfast love.
I believe all the ladies present must love it.â
Upon hearing this, everyoneâs eyes lit up, and a few noblewomen immediately asked their men to raise their paddles.
Although a 10-carat diamond is not very rare, the necklace is also inlaid with many valuable gemstones, dazzling under the light, and bursting with colorful brilliance.
It was said that someone once estimated the selling price of this diamond necklace to be around 10 million dollars.
But for such an item with collection value, even 15 million dollars would be worth it.
Zara Woods didnât raise her paddle immediately, waiting until the end to start raising the price. The price soon skyrocketed to 15 million dollars.
She couldnât help but glance at Xaviera, who was hanging her head, seemingly uninterested in the item.
Zaraâs face softened a bit, relieved that she didnât continue to compete.
âSis, I told you she could only afford the eight million. She doesnât have any money left to buy anything else. She didnât raise her paddle for this necklace.
She must be broke now!â
Suki Woodsâ voice carried to everyoneâs ears, sounding very arrogant.
However, Zara tried to gently persuade her sister, âSuki, you canât say that,
Xaviera probably doesnât like diamonds.â
Suki retorted, âWhich woman doesnât like diamonds? I think sheâs just broke!
She said she wanted to donate, right? Let her keep bidding if she can!â âSome people are just talkers. Sheâs spent eight million dollars and thatâs it..â
