Translator: 549690339
Yigol Mamet could hardly sit still by the side.
Didnât Xaviera Evans just say she wasnât interested? Now sheâs raised the price to 200 million dollars.
Zara Woods curled her lip, convinced that Xaviera had lost her mind. In her eyes, money was just a number, and she would get this violin at any cost!
In that case, she would raise the price one last time, pushing Xaviera to the brink and then withdraw.
If Xaviera said she didnât want it later, she would be disrespecting charity and would be laughed at by the entire upper class in Libanan, unable to hold her head high.
If Xaviera was smart, she would have to swallow her pride and pay the huge sum obediently.
The auction was about to be concluded, when Zara Woods raised her card: âThree hundred million dollars!â
At this moment, everyone held their breath, their eyes kept shifting between Xaviera and Zara.
Zara Woods looked at Xaviera, who didnât raise her card but just smiled meaningfully.
Dead silence filled the hall, while the voice of the three hundred million dollars bid still echoed from within.
The competition between Zara Woods and Xaviera commanded everyoneâs stunned attention.
Although both families were wealthy, raising the price to three hundred million dollars for a violin was simply terrifying.
Most people believed that three hundred million dollars wasnât the end, Xaviera would continue to raise the price and so did Zara Woods.
Even the auctioneer had forgotten to end the bidding, staring at Xaviera, waiting for her to raise her card.
But she remained silent, sitting quietly, ignoring the burning gaze of the people.
Everyone grew restless. Why didnât Miss Evans raise her card?
Zara Woodsâ heart sank, feeling like she was falling into an icy abyss.
She observed Xavieraâs carefree demeanor, her heart filled with anxiety.
After a while, Xaviera still didnât speak up.
Suki Woods immediately reacted and asked loudly: âXaviera, youâre not bidding anymore?â
Everyoneâs eyes were once again drawn to the Woods family. Zaraâs face turned white, and her heart pounded violently.
Xaviera sipped her coffee nonchalantly and spoke calmly, âOf course I want itâŠâ
Zaraâs face relaxed slightly. She knew Xaviera would keep raising the price. As long as Xaviera raised once more, she would isurrender, pretending to be disappointed.
But Xavieraâs next words made the hairs on her neck stand on end!
âBut the price is too high. I⊠Iâm out of money.â
Xaviera seemed regretful and sighed: âIâve already spent a lot of money, and Iâve only brought this amount with me today. I canât bring out more than three hundred million dollars. I thought Iâd try to take it at 200 million dollars, but who knew Miss Woods would go straight to three hundred million dollars!â âI can see that Miss Woods really wants this violin, so Iâll just let Miss Woods have it.â
Zara Woods felt her head go blank in an instant.
She kept echoing one sentence in her brain: Sheâs not bidding anymore?
If Xaviera really stopped bidding, Zara would have to spend three hundred million dollars on this violin!
Thatâs three hundred million dollars!
The Woods family was already on the verge of collapse, unable to afford three hundred million dollars. Even if they could pay, the family would be severely impacted.
Zara Woodsâ body uncontrollably trembled, her eyes hollow.
Xaviera smiled faintly. Zara was still too green to play games with her. Did she really think Xaviera was so naive as to not see through Zaraâs little charade?
This three hundred million would hit the Woods family hard enough to keep Zara quiet for some time.
Everyoneâs gaze focused on the Woods family, and Mrs. Woods realized the severity of the situation.
No! They canât take this three hundred million dollars out!
Mrs. Woods stood up abruptly: âNo! I canâtâŠâ
Before she could finish her sentence, Xaviera stood up and applauded loudly: âMiss Woods is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, spending a sky-high price of three hundred million dollars on a violin for the sake of donating to the children, deeply touching! I simply cannot match the breadth of Miss Woodsâ mind. Miss Woods is the role model among wealthy familyâs daughters! I hope everyone could be as selfless as Miss Woods!â
She even kicked Yigol, telling him to âQuickly clap!â
Yigol immediately stood up and shouted loudly: âThatâs right! The Woods family is truly a model of wealthy families!â
With the Mamet family taking the lead, the others also stood up and applauded one after another..
