Auctioneer: “15 million once, 15 million twice—”
Suki Woods was ecstatic, her derision escalating: “Sister! See? She doesn’t dare to bid again, right? She’s just puffing up her face to look fat! She doesn’t have the money, yet pretends to be a big shot! Ridiculous…” “20 million!” Xaviera Evans suddenly spoke.
Suki Woods choked on her words instantly.
Xaviera Evans took a sip of her coffee, and calmly said, “20 million, I want this necklace.”
Listening to Xaviera’s nonchalant voice, Suki Woods felt deeply mocked, and she roared angrily, “Xaviera! Are you crazy? Whatever my sister bids on, you bid on?”
“Can’t I donate? Miss Woods, you really meddle a lot. Are you suggesting only your sister is allowed to donate, and others aren’t?”
Suki Woods choked off.
Xaviera leisurely said: “If Miss Woods isn’t satisfied, you can continue to raise the price. I have no objection, after all, the highest bidder wins!”
Zara Woods froze, struggling to get out the words: “…Fine, fine. I’ll bid on the next item.”
With an unchanged expression, Xaviera faintly smiled.
Subsequently, for every item up for auction, Xaviera remained silent. But as soon as Zara Woods placed the final bid, she would always raise her own card, cutting in with a higher bid, leaving no chance for Zara to increase her bid.
Suki Woods immediately started cursing, “Xaviera! You cheap lowlife, you bid on whatever my sister bids on? Just because you’re jealous of my sister being childhood friends with Mr. Caleb Mamet, doesn’t mean you have to keep targeting her! ”
The crowd raised their eyes in surprise, their gaze falling on Xaviera.
Xaviera countered nonchalantly: “Jealous of Miss Woods? Your Woods family really loves to flatter yourselves.”
This time, Mrs. Woods chimed in: “Miss Evans, watch your words. Suki is right, you’re just jealous of Mr. Caleb Mamet and Zara…”
Xaviera Evans interrupted her: “I’m bidding in order to donate. After all, just now Miss Woods kept mocking me for being selfish, unwilling to donate. I simply want to make a small contribution to the sick children, is there something wrong with that?”
Xaviera smiled faintly: “Miss Woods just called me cheap, now I don’t understand, how did dona ting all this money make me cheap? Are you saying I shouldn’t have donated?”
“Or are you suggesting that only the Woods family can donate and no one else can? Why not just make this charity auction a place exclusive for the Woods family? That way we wouldn’t be wasting our time here, don’t you all agree?” People quickly caught on and glared at the Woods family.
No matter who is bidding today, the money goes to the children’s medical treatment and partial donation to the mountainous area.
Xaviera’s numerous bids were all for a good cause, so how come it is seen as an inappropriate act by the Woods family?
Miss Evans had a point. The Woods family simply thought she was stealing their thunder, so they started swearing one after another.
The etiquette of this Woods family is indeed questionable, sometimes they say Miss Evans is unwell, sometimes they call her cheap, and at the start, they even mocked her for not having enough money with Mr. Lindsey.
Plus, why is Mr. Caleb Mamet being dragged into this?
Suki Woods was left with no way to defend herself, “You…”
“Miss Woods has nothing to say now, right? If the Woods family really wants to donate, just bid for the next item and save some time.”
Suki Woods trembled with rage. She thought Xaviera, this cheap woman, was just jealous of her sister’s relationship with Caleb Mamet, so she deliberately outbid her.
On one side, Zara Woods began to cry out of unfairness, sobbing softly, “Suki, Jake, just stop.”
Xaviera laughed coldly, not concerned in the least.
She had not been intervening out of spite, rather, she had been setting a trap for Zara Woods.
Out of the twenty items for auction, Xaviera had bid for eight, spending over 100 million dollars.
Everything that Zara Woods liked, she had bought them all.
Now, Zara Woods had a deathly pale face, listening to the sporadic ridicule surrounding her, and biting her lip tightly.
In today’s auction, the most powerful were the Mamet family and the Woods family.
As Xaviera Evans and Caleb Mamet sat together, naturally they represented the Mamet family. But the Woods family, who had been proclaiming their intention to donate, ended up only successfully bidding for a 200,000 dollar figurine. How would they live it down if word got out?
Moreover, before entering the auction a while ago, Zara Woods was interviewed, stating that she would do her part to help children suffering from illness.
And now she only spent 200,000? That’s quite modest..
