Chapter 1364 - Chapter 1364 Chapter 1364 Mysterious Gift
Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Mysterious Gift Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Mysterious Gift Xaviera Evans suddenly looked up and asked, “Caleb, what gift are you going to give me?”
“You guess.” Caleb Mamet’s tone was a bit teasing.
Xaviera propped her chin in thought for a few seconds, “There is nothing special about the things at this auction, except for the finale violin which is a bit different. But I don’t understand why this violin is the finale as it is not that precious.”
Caleb smiled at her but did not answer.
Xaviera continued, “Actually, this violin was made by Xavier. It used to be kept at Grandpa’s place, and I would play it when I had nothing else to do.”
“I heard in the restroom today that Penny Kalafatis wants this violin, and Willie Novak will probably buy it for her. After all, Willie is the head of the Brooke family, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to give his future wife a 200,000-dollar violin. So they specifically arranged for the violin to be the finale to show off his noble status and position, right?”
At this thought, Xaviera suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, “Caleb, is the gift you’re giving me also this violin?”
Caleb glanced at her meaningfully and was about to speak when Xaviera excitedly pulled at him, “Caleb, I don’t really like this violin either. I just played it a few times when I was bored. If I really liked it, Xavier would have given me a similar one long ago, so you don’t have to spend money on this for me.”
“Xaviera.” Caleb’s smile deepened, “Do you think I would give you such an ordinary gift? If I’m going to give something, it will naturally be something that will satisfy you.”
Caleb had long known that this violin was made by Xavier Hamer. Since it belonged to Xavier, there was nothing unusual about it for Xaviera. Although Caleb had plenty of money, there was no need to spend it on this.
Xaviera, with a curious face, asked, “What are you giving me then?”
“You’ll find out when the time comes.” Caleb said mysteriously, certain that Xaviera would love this gift.
The more secretive Caleb was, the more curious Xaviera became. Other than the violin, there was nothing special about the items at the auction. Could it be that the gift Caleb was giving her was not something from the auction?
On the other side, Willie Novak and Penny Kalafatis had also taken their seats. As soon as Willie entered, he saw Xaviera sitting in the center and his gaze fell on her from time to time.
“Willie…” Penny’s voice carried a hint of grievance, and her eyes were full of resentment. Her man was constantly looking at other women, which she could not tolerate. But she was afraid of angering Willie, so she could only find an excuse to break his fiery gaze.
“What do you think of that porcelain decoration? Why don’t we bid on it and put it in the living room?”
Willie withdrew his gaze, immediately seeing through Penny’s thoughts and furrowing his brows in displeasure, “Don’t forget my warning. Remember your place.”
Penny’s body trembled and she sadly lowered her eyes, her heart filled with boundless hatred.
She had painstakingly driven Xaviera away and had been by Willie’s side for so many years that even a dog should have had some affection. She didn’t understand why Willie only had Xaviera in his heart and didn’t care about her feelings at all?
Bang!
The auction hammer fell, and the porcelain decoration was sold.
Xaviera lost interest as these items were nothing special. Considering it was an auction organized by the Mamet Corporation, Sean Price casually raised his placard a few times and bought three items before not raising it again.
Penny, on the other hand, took a liking to several pieces of jewelry. She looked at the man beside her with pleading eyes, hoping that Willie would bid on them for her, but he didn’t pay her any attention.
