Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 299: 299: The Highest Bidder Wins the Auction

The auctioneer hurriedly nodded, “Eight, eight million, that’s enough, that’s enough! Miss Evans bids eight million, is there a higher bid?”

A few onlookers who had mocked Xaviera for not spending money suddenly lowered their heads, their faces full of embarrassment.

Wasn’t Miss Woods saying that Xaviera didn’t have any money? Why would she spend eight million on a necklace?

Although the necklace is valuable, it should only be worth three million at most. Eight million is a sky-high price.

Has Xaviera gone crazy? Spending so much unnecessary money?

Zara Woods’ face turned green, her nails digging into her palm.

Suki Woods blurted out in anger, “Xaviera! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? My sister already bid five million! Why are you still competing?”

“I’m also doing this for the sick children?” Xaviera replied with an indifferent smile, continuing, “Actually, the money doesn’t matter. What’s the matter with spending some money to help cure the children? Whoever bids the highest wins in an auction. Does that mean I can’t bid just because your sister wants

“You…” Suki Woods suddenly choked, her face turning red.

Xaviera’s words left her speechless, yet Xaviera was clearly pretending, and still talking about helping the sick children.

Zara’s eyes were cold and bitter, but when she looked up again, she showed a gentle smile. “It’s alright, Xaviera. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.” The auctioneer’s hammer fell, and everyone couldn’t help but look at Xaviera.

Most of them brought only five million dollars to the auction, thinking about winning a few small items. But Xaviera spent eight million dollars on a single necklace!

That’s all money!

Considering this, Xaviera didn’t seem as selfish as Mr. Mamet said, did she?

“Miss Evans is quite generous too. Just now Mr. Mamet said she wouldn’t donate. That must have been a misunderstanding.”

“Someone who bids eight million dollars like that must not be a greedy or selfish woman, this time we’ve seen it incorrectly.”

“It’s all because of Zara Woods acting with Jake Lindsey to ruin Xaviera’s reputation. Xaviera clearly has money, not everyone can afford eight million dollars!”

Hearing the surrounding comments, Suki Woods stomped her foot angrily.

“Sis, don’t be mad. Xaviera can only win this one item, and it’s not even certain if she can come up with the eight million dollars!”

Zara Woods managed to force a smile, “Xaviera is doing this for the poor children. Xaviera, thank you for being sincere in helping them.” The next second, the auctioneer brought out the next item.

Suki Woods immediately beamed with joy, “Sis, you can bid on this one. Xaviera will definitely not have any money left.”

The auctioneer: “This is a 10-carat diamond necklace from South Africa. It is said to be a masterpiece by the jewelry master Eila, representing steadfast love.

I believe all the ladies present must love it.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and a few noblewomen immediately asked their men to raise their paddles.

Although a 10-carat diamond is not very rare, the necklace is also inlaid with many valuable gemstones, dazzling under the light, and bursting with colorful brilliance.

It was said that someone once estimated the selling price of this diamond necklace to be around 10 million dollars.

But for such an item with collection value, even 15 million dollars would be worth it.

Zara Woods didn’t raise her paddle immediately, waiting until the end to start raising the price. The price soon skyrocketed to 15 million dollars.

She couldn’t help but glance at Xaviera, who was hanging her head, seemingly uninterested in the item.

Zara’s face softened a bit, relieved that she didn’t continue to compete.

“Sis, I told you she could only afford the eight million. She doesn’t have any money left to buy anything else. She didn’t raise her paddle for this necklace.

She must be broke now!”

Suki Woods’ voice carried to everyone’s ears, sounding very arrogant.

However, Zara tried to gently persuade her sister, “Suki, you can’t say that,

Xaviera probably doesn’t like diamonds.”

Suki retorted, “Which woman doesn’t like diamonds? I think she’s just broke!

She said she wanted to donate, right? Let her keep bidding if she can!” “Some people are just talkers. She’s spent eight million dollars and that’s it..”
