Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Emotion Cannot Be Forced Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Emotion Cannot Be Forced What qualifications did Penny Kalafatis have to decide the destiny of the violin that Willie Novak had auctioned?

This question from Xaviera Evans silenced Penny Kalafatis immediately. Her lips moved, and she opened her mouth with a seemingly wronged look. “Xaviera, so many years have passed, why are you still so hostile toward me? I have always wanted to ask for your forgiveness. Knowing how much you like this violin, I thought to lend it to you. I had no malicious intention, yet you are doubtful of my intentions each time.”

“When Willie took me away, I knew you hated me, but affection cannot be forced. I am not good enough for Willie. You also look down on my background, so you can’t accept me being by Willie’s side. I understand all this,” she said.

Everyone looked towards Xaviera with varying expressions. After Miss Kalafatis’s statement, everyone understood the situation. Miss Kalafatis knew that Mrs. Mamet hated her, so she’s always been trying to curry favor with Mrs. Mamet. However, Mrs. Mamet refused to appreciate these efforts, even maintained an arrogant demeanor, which had caused Miss Kalafatis to feel heartbroken.

Even though Mrs. Mamet once truly loved Mr. Novak, it was all in the past. Now, Mrs. Mamet is married to Caleb Mamet, and Mr. Novak is about to marry Miss Kalafatis. It was inappropriate for her to still hold grudges.

Moreover, Mr. Novak had bid for this violin to give it to Miss Kalafatis. She naturally had the right to decide its destiny. Mrs. Mamet’s words seemed as if she was being jealous.

At that moment, someone comforted her in a low voice, “Miss Kalafatis, don’t be sad. This violin was gifted to you by Mr. Novak. You definitely have the right to decide who to give it to. However, if she doesn’t want to accept it, do not force it upon her.”

“Xaviera, I… I meant well. I just wanted you to forgive me, can’t we be friends like before? Why must you be so relentless?”

As the words fell, a stir of footsteps echoed, and everyone separated a path. Willie Novak, with his upright stature, walked slowly toward here.

“Willie…” Penny Kalafatis quickly stepped forward to greet him.

All eyes were on the two of them, but Willie Novak didn’t stop at all. He passed Penny Kalafatis and moved on.

The smile on Penny Kalafatis’s face froze in an instant. Looking at the startled crowd, she awkwardly explained, “Sorry, Willie must have urgent matters to attend. Please don’t mind…”

Before Penny Kalafatis could finish speaking, everyone had followed Willie Novak’s shadow and looked over. They saw him stop in front of Xaviera Evans.

“Xaviera.”

The gentle voice made a buzzing sound in Penny Kalafatis’s ears, and her face was instantly drained of all color.

Xaviera was bowing her head to reply to Xavier Hamer’s message. Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light. When she looked up and saw the man in front of her, her joy disappeared instantly, and she frowned displeased.

She tried to sidestep and leave from his side, but the man was too shameless. Wherever she went, Willie Novak blocked her way, preventing her from leaving.

Xaviera: “…”

She retreated a few steps, creating distance between them, and said coldly, “Mr. Novak, please step aside!”

When Willie looked at her stunning face, he was momentarily stunned. Then he spoke in a gentle voice, “Xaviera, there seem to be some misunderstandings between us. Can I talk to you?”

Xaviera’s fists clenched instantly. She constantly reminded herself that she was a weak woman and should not hit anyone in front of so many people. She must keep her cool.

Suppressing the impulse to strike, she sneered coldly, “Mr. Novak…”

But before she could finish speaking, Willie passed her a piece of paper. Glancing down, she saw it was a receipt for 30 million dollars, signed Willie Novak. His handwriting was powerful and distinctive.

When Xaviera saw the figure on it, she chuckled lightly without thinking.

Willie Novak’s eyes were downcast, his deep gaze focused on her, his tone was full of unprecedented patience and indulgence. “Xaviera, I owe you a lot in the past. Consider this violin as my apology gift and I hope you will accept it.”

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the spectacle.

What? The violin was meant for Mrs. Mamet?

Mr. Novak spent 30 million dollars to buy this violin for Miss Kalafatis, didn’t he? How come he suddenly gave it to Mrs. Mamet?

A casual comment had rendered the whole hall silent, as if the air had frozen.

Those noble ladies and noblewomen who had been flattering Penny Kalafatis looked shocked. Their gazes shifted between Xaviera and Penny Kalafatis.

Penny Kalafatis felt her head become dizzy and numb, as if she would pass out at any moment.

Did Willie Novak buy this violin to give to Xaviera Evans? Not for her?
