“Ah!” Mrs. Woods’ back suddenly hurt, “Who, who poked me?”
Everyone rolled their eyes. Was Mrs. Woods still pretending?
No one was around her, how could anyone poke her? Did she not bother to think up a better lie?
The person-in-charge quickly asked staff to close the door to prevent the Woods family from disrupting the auction.
Xaviera retracted the silver needle into her sleeve, a smile forming on her lips.
Xavier Hamer glanced down, “Xaviera, be careful when there are so many people around.”
Xaviera was full of confidence, “No one saw it, don’t worry!”
From the stage, Caleb Mamet’s deep eyes fixed on her cuff.
Xavier Hamer: “…”
He hadn’t escaped his gaze after all.
After the Woods family left, the entire auction was immediately restored to its quiet state.
Xaviera returned to her seat, “Caleb, what’s the last auction item? I’m very curious.”
Everyone was also curious about the last item, because there was no information about it on the auction manual.
But Xaviera was sure that Caleb knew what it was, and since he hadn’t made a peep in the auction, had he come just for the mysterious item? Caleb hooked his finger, “Come closer, I’ll tell you.”
Xaviera immediately leaned in, her head almost resting on his chest.
Caleb’s voice was low, “Xaviera.”
“Hm?”
“Don’t use hidden weapons indiscriminately in public places.” Caleb gently rubbed her hair, “If someone sees, it will cause trouble.”
Xaviera suddenly recalled Xavier’s strange expression just now, it turned out Caleb had discovered her.
She had practiced hidden weapons since childhood and was confident she wouldn’t be caught, but Caleb saw through her in an instant.
Xaviera was unwilling to accept this, the man must have just happened to notice.
So she stealthily took out another silver needle, just as it was about to fly out
“Caleb!”
Caleb held her wrist, pulling her into his arms in one move.
His other hand swiftly circled around her palm, in the blink of an eye, the silver needle fell into his hand.
Xaviera leaned against his chest, his burning breath lingering above her, “Little girl? Want to use a hidden weapon on me?”
She struggled hard, but Caleb didn’t budge. She felt the gap between them for the first time.
Caleb easily controlled her, but to outsiders, it just looked like he was supporting her.
But she knew very well that her life was in Caleb’s hands.
Caleb hugged her waist, and gently held her onto the chair, ‘Want to know what the mysterious item is?”
Xaviera: ‘
What a cunning man! He enjoyed playing, huh?
Caleb looked unfazed, his mouth twitching, “I think you’ll like it.”
Hearing him say that, Xaviera became even more curious.
—’Is he going to give me the last item as a gift?’
—’Hmph! Don’t think you can buy me off with a gift. He just insulted my skills, and now he’s sending me a gift to get my forgiveness? Impossible!’ Xaviera thought arrogantly, she wouldn’t back down that easily.
Caleb turned his head, amusement in his eyes.
At this moment, the auction house door opened again, and a man walked in surrounded by a group of people.
Yigol Mamet gasped.
Someone exclaimed, “Boyd Drew! He’s here too, I thought the Drew family wasn’t coming!”
“Mr. Caleb Mamet didn’t raise any placards earlier, it’s probably for the last item. And now Boyd Drew has arrived, he’s probably here for that item too. If they start bidding, it’ll really be a battle between wealthy families!”
Another person asked uncertainly, “I heard that Boyd Drew is recognizing his ancestry and returning to the family, so he wouldn’t represent the Drew family, but… the Mamet family.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Caleb Mamet’s cold face.
In the upper class circle, most people knew the identity of Boyd Drew. He was the true Mr. Caleb Mamet, while Caleb was just the illegitimate child Mrs. Mamet had brought with her when she married.
Will Mamet’s original wife was Winni Drew from the Drew family.
Winni had given birth to a son, who had gone missing. A month later, Boyd Drew was left on the doorstep of the Drew family.
So everyone believed that Boyd Drew was Winni’s child. However, since the Drew family had severed ties with the Mamet family, Boyd Drew had never returned to the Mamet family..
