Everyone present knew that there had just been a conflict between Penny Kalafatis and Mrs. Mamet. Now that Miss Kalafatis had placed her bid, Mrs. Mamet followed with a higher bid. It was clearly intentional!

It’s just a small violin, worth at most 500,000 dollars at an auction outside. When Willie Novak quoted a price earlier, he probably thought that no one would compete with him. Who knew that Mrs. Mamet would intervene halfway through?

Whose home would this violin ultimately end up in? Everyone’s eyes were shifting between the two parties.

When Penny saw Xaviera raising her sign, her face darkened. She said unwillingly, “Willie…”

“Continue.” Willie Novak spoke, giving Penny confidence. She immediately raised her sign, and Xaviera promptly increased the bid as well.

Willie Novak frowned. Even if Xaviera wanted the violin, it had to be him who gave it to her. Why should the man beside her have to pay for it?

With that thought, he unhesitatingly instructed Penny to increase the price. Soon, the price skyrocketed to five million dollars.

Xaviera couldn’t help but sneer, “Five million? Wow, Mr. Novak is really willing to spend the money!”

Actually, she didn’t want the violin. She just heard that Penny had once played it, so Xaviera deliberately raised the price to tease Penny.

Penny should know very well who the original owner of the violin was. She only wanted to show off her status in Willie’s heart by publicly saying that she had once played the violin.

Back then, Willie’s fire had caused her grandfather to lose several priceless medical books. Now, she was only letting Willie pay a few million dollars in return, which was very kind and fair of her.

Xaviera didn’t intend to continue competing for the violin and hadn’t raised her bid anymore. Willie’s gaze fell on her, his feelings complicated.

Didn’t Xaviera like the violin anymore? If she didn’t like it, there would be no point in him buying it either.

Just as the auctioneer was about to call, a cold voice rang through the entire hall: “6,000,000 dollars!”

“Caleb!” Xaviera furrowed her brow.

Caleb Mamet’s eyes were clear, his smile gentle. “What’s the matter?”

Xaviera had only intended to raise the price as a prank and didn’t really want the violin. She thought the matter would end there, but Caleb unexpectedly continued to increase the price. She said helplessly, “I told you, I don’t want this little violin, and it’s only worth a maximum of 500,000 dollars. Why waste money on it?”

“I never said I was buying it.”

Xaviera: “…”

Caleb raised his glass and took a gentle sip of red wine. His frivolous lips were tinged with a touch of vivid red. He chuckled, “I raised the price, but that doesn’t mean I have to buy it.”

Not long after, the price of the small violin soared directly to 10 million dollars, shocking everyone present. Even though these two magnates were not short of money, they couldn’t be so extravagant!

After Caleb quoted a price of 10 million dollars, Willie Novak’s assistant looked distressed: “Mister, the auction price of this violin is only 500,000 dollars at most, and it’s already up to 10 million dollars now. Maybe we should just leave it.”

Willie Novak didn’t pay attention and instead looked at the Penny beside him, his eyes coldly amused. “Do you think we should keep bidding?”

Penny suddenly became nervous. “Willie, I think… although this small violin is not worth that much, we haven’t bought anything at this auction. People might talk if they see this, and 10 million dollars isn’t much for you anyway. Let’s continue to increase the price.”

“Wh-What do you think?” Penny asked anxiously, her eyes full of expectation. She hoped Willie would keep bidding. She didn’t care if the violin was worth the money or not. If Willie bought it and gave it to her, everyone would know that she was the woman Willie cared about, and no one would ridicule her anymore.
