Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: The Finale with Special Significance Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: The Finale with Special Significance Seeing that Xaviera Evans remained silent, Director Linstad knew she had suspicions, and so he confessed in a low voice, “Mrs. Evans, the CEO is worried about you. This is not Libanan, and there are unknown risks here. If I can stay close at hand to protect you, he will feel more at ease.”

“Does Caleb Mamet have enemies here?” Evans asked.

Director Linstad paused a moment before explaining, “It’s not so much enemies, primarily it’s the disordered power dynamics in Yittaland with too many interests entangled. Our current location happens to be the Brooke family’s territory. The Brooke family’s power has become stronger and stronger, so many of the nobles dare not provoke them. Therefore, we need to be on our guard.”

Evans had known long ago that we were on the Brooke family’s territory. So didn’t anyone know about Caleb Mamet storming the Brooke family villa yesterday and giving Wesley Taylor a thrashing?

“Mrs. Evans, the CEO has told you to see if there is anything you like.” As he spoke, Director Linstad passed her an exquisitely crafted brochure.

Evans glanced through it nonchalantly with little interest. There was nothing really special in the auction, but when she turned to the last page, her eyes suddenly lit up. In the photograph was a beautifully-made violin. It wasn’t that the item was particularly valuable, it was just that it seemed familiar to Evans.

Seeing her staring at the violin, Director Linstad was also somewhat confused: “This violin is indeed beautiful, but it doesn’t have any collection value, there’s nothing special about it.”

She observed it in detail and really didn’t understand why the CEO wanted to feature such an item as the grand finale of the auction.

“I don’t really understand musical instruments, but maybe this violin has some special significance. If you like it, I’ll inquire about it.” Having said this, Director Linstad quickly left.

Evans’ eyes were fixed on the photo. Actually, there was nothing particularly unusual about this violin, except it was made by Xavier himself.

Xavier had fallen in love with music and the instruments he made were nearly perfect. Some of them had been auctioned before, but none had been presented as the closing item.

The auction held by the Mamet Corporation was naturally extraordinary, attracting successful persons worth billions. What caught their eye were collectible calligraphy and paintings. They wouldn’t be interested in an apparently ordinary violin, so why did Caleb Mamet feature it as the last item?

Director Linstad quickly returned, explaining, “Mrs. Evans, this violin was donated by the Brooke family. They had only one condition – to have this violin as the last item. They also said that someone would definitely buy it.”

“It was rumored that this violin was made by Xavier Hamer a few years ago with exquisite materials and craftsmanship. However, since he made several identical ones, it should not be priced high. I was surprised when the starting price turned out to be two million dollars. Moreover, it was the closing item. I really don’t know what the Brooke family was thinking. How can they be confident that someone would definitely buy it?”

Evans agreed with Director Linstad’s words. Actually, among all Xavier’s works, this violin could be considered quite ordinary with a market valuation of just over 200,000 dollars. Now its price has nearly increased tenfold, stating that someone would buy it definitely. Did they think everyone else was foolish?

“Mrs. Evans, I also heard something else.” Director Linstad happened to have overheard this and told Evans, “Rumor has it that this violin was played by someone many years ago, so it has special significance.”

Evans paused, and her eyes narrowed, “Where did you hear that from?”

“Everyone says so. I just happened to hear it. They said that the person who played this violin was…”

Before Director Linstad could finish his sentence, there was a sudden commotion nearby.

“Mr. Novak, is also attending the auction! He usually avoids public appearances and rarely attends such events. Why is he here today? Mrs. Novak, do you know why?”

Evans followed the sound to see Penny Kalafatis in a high-low light blue princess dress with happiness in her eyes, surrounded by a crowd.

Everyone had heard that the controller of the Brooke family and CEO of the Novak Corporation, Willie Novak, would attend the auction, but they did not see him so they tried to please Penny, the future Mrs. Novak.

Ms. Kalafatis replied softly, “Willie came with me today. He has some business to discuss, so he hasn’t shown up yet. I usually don’t question his business affairs, so I don’t really know.”

“Mrs. Novak, we heard that you came to this auction for a certain item.” Someone curious asked.
