Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1366 - Chapter 1366 Chapter 1366 Unwilling to Spend Even This Little

Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Unwilling to Spend Even This Little Money Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Unwilling to Spend Even This Little Money Pride and vanity filled Penny Kalafatis’s eyes. After so many years, she could finally hold her head high in front of Xaviera Evans. She wanted to snatch away what Xaviera cherished, and she didn’t care if it cost 10 million dollars or even a hundred million dollars!

The next second, Caleb Mamet casually said, “20 million dollars.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this man crazy enough to increase the bid by 10 million dollars straight away?

Willie Novak was not to be outdone: “30 million dollars.”

Everyone’s eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets as they held their breath. To be honest, the violin was indeed exquisite, but no matter how beautiful, it was just a violin after all. It was already extravagant to buy a violin for 500,000 dollars; no one expected the two wealthiest and most influential men in the room to get into such a bidding war.

Mr. Caleb Mamet wanted to give the violin to Mrs. Mamet, and Mr. Novak wanted to give it to Miss Kalafatis. Both were trying to win the favor of beautiful women with the violin. This was understandable, but no one had expected it to go as high as 30 million dollars.

Given Caleb Mamet’s power, he would likely continue to increase the bid. It seemed that neither of them was going to give up easily, and today they might witness the most incredible price in history.

Everyone held their breath and fixed their eyes on Caleb Mamet. As time ticked away, he showed no intention of raising the bid.

The auctioneer hesitated for a few seconds, and seeing Caleb Mamet not increasing the bid, he began to shout loudly, “30 million dollars for the first time”, “30 million dollars for the second time”, but Caleb Mamet still did not react.

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief, had Mr. Caleb Mamet given up so easily?

Actually, on second thought, spending 30 million dollars on a violin was a rip-off. Even if they were rich, they couldn’t be so whimsical!

Seeing the situation, Willie Novak’s eyes were filled with mockery. Just a mere 30 million dollars, and Caleb Mamet had given up, it seemed he wasn’t really sincere about Xaviera, as he wasn’t even willing to spend this much money.

Bang!

The auctioneer’s gavel fell, and he announced loudly, “Sold for 30 million dollars! Congratulations to Mr. Novak on winning this violin!”

It was only then that everyone realized the auction had ended. They all clapped and followed suit. Willie Novak was able to spend 30 million dollars on a violin, which showed everyone that he was not short of money, and his position in the Brooke family was unshakable. Otherwise, how could he spend 30 million dollars on a violin without even blinking an eye?

Caleb Mamet glanced at Willie Novak and then lowered his eyes, chuckling to the person beside him, “As I said, I would raise the price, but I never said I would buy it.”

Xaviera: “…” She thought to herself: 30 million dollars for just a violin?

“If Willie Novak had given up earlier, would you have spent so much money on this violin?” Xaviera asked, staring at him with wide eyes.

“It’s just tens of millions of dollars. It doesn’t really matter if I spend it. At least it makes Mr. Novak unhappy. Besides, I controlled the situation well. Now the violin belongs to Mr. Novak.” Caleb Mamet said casually.

He genuinely didn’t care about the money. Moreover, the 30 million dollars was his estimate for the final price. Willie Novak bought the violin not to give it to Penny Kalafatis, but to give it to Xaviera. Otherwise, Willie Novak wouldn’t have come up with such a high price.

Although Willie Novak had great power in the Brooke family, it was achieved by being cautious and calculating over the years. He had to weigh every decision carefully, whether it was worth it or not. This time he had already decided his bottom line price, which was around 30 million dollars.

Willie Novak would never make a loss on any deal. He wanted to present the violin to Xaviera in front of everyone. If Xaviera were to accept the violin, it would mean she had forgiven Willie Novak, and all grudges would be wiped clean. If Xaviera didn’t accept, he wouldn’t lose face; the 30 million-dollar investment would show off his power and influence in front of everyone.

Therefore, Willie Novak’s bottom line was 30 million dollars. Once the price exceeded this, he would cut his losses immediately.

Caleb Mamet had seen through his intentions, so he gave up the auction when Willie Novak proposed 30 million dollars.

At this point, the auction had ended. Penny Kalafatis stood up excitedly, and soon many noble ladies and noblewomen surrounded her. “Oh! Miss Kalafatis, Mr. Novak really spoils you!”

“That’s 30 million dollars, and he didn’t even blink!”

“Mr. Novak has the strength, of course, he won’t care about a little money. As long as Miss Kalafatis is happy, the 30 million that Mr. Novak has spent is worth it!”

Everyone complimented her, making Penny flush with embarrassment, and she completely forgot about her previous displeasure.

Penny Kalafatis shyly replied, “I told him not to bid for it, but he still insisted on buying it. It’s indeed a bit wasteful to spend 30 million dollars on a violin.”
