“Miss Woods is really kind-hearted. She donated three hundred million dollars, which makes us feel ashamed.’
“Miss Evans has already donated over 100 million dollars, and Miss Woods generously did not hesitate; they are both so kind!”
Only then did Yigol Mamet realize that in this auction, Zara Woods intentionally competed with Xaviera Evans.
If Xaviera continued to bid, it would cost her more than three hundred million dollars.
Yigol spoke coldly, “Xaviera donated over 100 million dollars, and Zara donated three hundred million dollars. The children who will be saved will definitely remember you.”
Zara Woods felt weak all over, not even having the strength to stand up.
If she publicly reneged on her commitment, she would be ridiculed by everyone and lose her reputation in the upper class.
No! She couldn’t let people hate her!
Three hundred million dollars was indeed very important, but the reputation and face of the Woods family were also important.
Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, Zara still had to squeeze out a smile and speak with difficulty: “I’m glad I can help the sick children.”
But deep down, she regretted it. The violin was only worth at most 20 million dollars, but she spent three hundred million dollars on it, as if she had thrown away over two hundred million dollars!
Zara Woods never expected Xaviera Evans to turn the tables on her.
Only now did she belatedly realize that this was all Xaviera Evans’s plot!
Zara was frantic, thinking that she must find someone to pay for part of the bill, so that not all of the huge sum would have to be shouldered by the Woods family.
At that moment. there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
Everyone looked towards the noise, and the door was pushed open. A group of bodyguards rushed in first, followed by a man in a suit walking in slowly.
“It’s Xavier Hamer!” Someone exclaimed.
“Painter Hamer! I heard he really wanted that violin! It’s a pity it’s already been auctioned off by Miss Woods.”
Everyone spoke with regret, while Yigol shouted, “There’s nothing to be pitied. Zara bought that violin just to give it to Xavier Hamer. Didn’t Suki Woods just say that?”
Suki Woods had indeed said that the violin was for Xavier Hamer, but would she really spend three hundred million dollars on a violin just to give it away?
Zara Woods’ expression was rigid, and her face was extremely ugly.
However, Yigol persisted with the trouble: “Zara said she admires Mr. Hamer and likes his paintings very much. She knew that he liked this violin, so she auctioned it off at any cost just to give it to Mr. Hamer.”
Yigol approached Xavier Hamer and greeted him, “Mr. Hamer, you’ve arrived just in time.”
Zara gritted her teeth, her face twisted with anger.
Once words were spoken, they were like water spilled that could not be taken back. If she simply reneged on her word now, wouldn’t she become a laughingstock?
How could she marry Caleb Mamet and be laughed at by the upper class? She was the future Mrs. Mamet and had to be careful of her image, or else the Mamet family and Caleb would not accept her.
Zara suppressed her anger and approached Xavier Hamer with a mild smile, “Mr. Hamer, hello.”
Xavier Hamer glanced at her and remained silent.
At this point, Zara Woods had no choice but to use the three hundred million dollars to buy herself a good reputation, letting everyone in Libanan know she is kind-hearted and well-mannered.
So she smiled slightly, “Mr. Hamer, our family has offended you in the past. When I heard that you liked this violin, I decided to auction it off and present it to you…
Xavier Hamer indifferently responded, “Miss Woods, I cannot accept this three-hundred-million-dollar violin. If this gets out, people will think there is some special relationship between the Hamer and Woods families.”
Zara glanced around, determined to give away the violin at any cost. In doing so, she could win a good reputation and also make Xavier Hamer a powerful ally for the Woods family.
Only in this way could she recover the Woods family’s losses.
With clenched teeth, Zara said, ‘Mr. Hamer, please accept it as a token of our family’s regard. It was wrong for my sister to have offended your family.”
“Moreover, I spent three hundred million dollars on the donation, not just for you. So please don’t feel any pressure, Mr. Hamer. Accept this violin as our family’s way of making amends.”
Xavier Hamer smiled, “Miss Woods is truly kind-hearted!”
