Suki Woods secretly rejoiced. Now that the Woods family had connected with Xavier Hamer, it meant they were allied with the prestigious Hamer family in the Imperial Capital, giving them newfound confidence.
“Xaviera Evans! You must be incredibly jealous, right? My sister and Xavier are friends! What about you?”
Xaviera spoke calmly, “Indeed, Xavier and I are not friends.”
Suki had a smug expression on her face, “It’s good that you’re aware of that. Remember to be more polite when you see my sister next time and to know your place!”
“Sis, later let’s go to the Mamet family and tell Mr. Mamet and Mrs. Jenny about what happened today. Everyone needs to see that you are the one who deserves to be Mrs. Mamet!”
Zara Woods scolded jokingly, “Suki, don’t talk nonsense, Xaviera may misunderstand. She might not know painter Hamer because she might not have an interest in art.”
Everyone nodded. They had heard that Xaviera had grown up in the countryside, so it was natural for her taste not to be very high. With Xavier Hamer’s support, it was really hard to say who would be Mrs. Mamet in the future.
“Mr. Hamer, please take your seat. There is still one more item for auction later.” Zara spoke gently.
“There’s no rush.” Xavier shook his head, “Since Miss Woods doesn’t mind, I’d like to give this violin to my sister right now.”
Zara suddenly froze, her face filled with disbelief.
Xavier slightly opened his thin lips, “My sister is in the auction hall, and I’d like to give her this gift now.”
He paused for a moment before asking again, “I suppose Miss Woods wouldn’t mind, right?”
The whole room was silent, all breathing seemed to stop.
Xavier’s sister is also here? They didn’t hear that Miss Hamer had come, did they?
Zara felt cold all over, her heart pounding violently, her voice trembling,
“Your… your sister… is here?”
Just now, in the auction hall, only Xaviera and her had been competing for the violin. Could it be Xaviera?
Impossible! Xaviera admitted that she and Xavier were not friends, and Xavier hadn’t refuted it. Since they had no relationship, how could Xavier give such an expensive gift to Xaviera?
That person was definitely not Xaviera!
Zara’s heart settled and her expression returned to being gentle, “Of course not, Mr. Hamer. This violin is already yours, and you can decide where it goes.”
Xavier gave a slight smile, “Thank you, Miss Woods. I’ll bring her over later to thank you.”
Zara graciously nodded, “Originally, this violin was meant as an apology gift to Mr. Hamer. As long as Mr. Hamer doesn’t hold a grudge, there’s no need to thank us.”
On the side, Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh out loud; she simply couldn’t hold it back anymore.
Zara looked hurt, and Jake Lindsey glared at Xaviera angrily, “What are you trying to imply? Zara is generous and kind-hearted, what are you laughing at? Are you saying this violin could be given to you instead?”
Mrs. Woods put on the attitude of an elder, “Miss Evans, it’s enough to have targeted my daughter several times, but making fun of her in public like this is too much. Are you laughing that my Woods family spent three hundred million dollars on a violin only to give it away? How could someone like you understand my daughter? She doesn’t care about the money at all, as long as Mr. Hamer is happy.”
Suki also yelled angrily, “What’s so funny about that? I think you’re just jealous of my sister!”
Zara, with an innocent face, said softly, “Xaviera, if you want to get to know
Mr. Hamer, I can introduce you.”
With that, she turned and said, “Mr. Hamer, this is Xaviera Evans.”
Xavier’s expression was subtle as he turned to his assistant and whispered a few words. The assistant understood and went over to the staff to explain something.
In a short while, the person in charge came over, “Miss Woods, Mr. Hamer said that giving such an expensive violin requires a ceremony. What do you think?” Zara didn’t hesitate and nodded.
Of course, she wouldn’t refuse. The more noise this matter made, the more advantageous it was for her. It let more people know how generous and kind-hearted she was and how she had connected with someone as influential as Xavier Hamer.
What made her even more proud was that after she introduced Xaviera, Xavier didn’t pay any attention to her at all, indicating that he had no regard for
Xaviera as a woman..
