303 Chapter 303: The Sky-High Price of Three Hundred Million Dollars Yigol Mamet could hardly sit still by the side. O Didn't Xaviera Evans just say she wasn’t interested? Now she’s raised the price to 200 million dollars.
Zara Woods curled her lip, convinced that Xaviera had lost her mind. In her eyes, money was just a number, and she would get this violin at any cost! In that case, she would raise the price one last time, pushing Xaviera to the brink and then withdraw.
If Xaviera said she didn’t want it later, she would be disrespecting charity and would be laughed at by the entire upper class in Libanan, unable to hold her head high.
If Xaviera was smart, she would have to swallow her pride and pay the huge sum obediently.

Dead silence filled the hall, while the voice of the three hundred million dollars bid still echoed from within.
The competition between Zara Woods and Xaviera commanded everyone's stunned attention. Although both families were wealthy, raising the price to three hundred million dollars for a violin was simply terrifying.
Most people believed that three hundred million dollars wasn’t the end, Xaviera would continue to raise the price and so did Zara Woods.
Even the auctioneer had forgotten to end the bidding, staring at Xaviera, waiting for her to raise her card.
But she remained silent, sitting quietly, ignoring the burning gaze of the people.
Everyone grew restless. Why didn’t Miss Evans raise her card? Zara Woods’ heart sank, feeling like she was falling into an icy abyss.
She observed Xaviera’s carefree demeanor, her heart filled with anxiety.
After a while, Xaviera still didn’t speak up.
Suki Woods immediately reacted and asked loudly: “Xaviera, you're not bidding anymore?” Everyone's eyes were once again drawn to the Woods family. Zara's face turned white, and her heart pounded violently.

But Xaviera’s next words made the hairs on her neck stand on end! “But the price is too high. I... I'm out of money.” Xaviera seemed regretful and sighed: “I've already spent a lot of money, and I've only brought this amount withtoday. | can’t bring out more than three hundred million dollars. | thought I'd try to take it at 200 million dollars, but who knew Miss Woods would go straight to three hundred million dollars!” “I can see that Miss Woods really wants this violin, so I'll just let Miss Woods have it.” Zara Woods felt her head go blank in an instant.
She kept echoing one sentence in her brain: She’s not bidding anymore? If Xaviera really stopped bidding, Zara would have to spend three hundred million dollars on this violin! That's three hundred million dollars! The Woods family was already on the verge of collapse, unable to afford three hundred million dollars. Even if they could pay, the family would be severely impacted.
Zara Woods’ body uncontrollably trembled, her eyes hollow.
Xaviera smiled faintly. Zara was still too green to play games with her.
Did she really think Xaviera was so naive as to not see through Zara's little charade? This three hundred million would hit the Woods family hard enough to keep Zara quiet for stime.
Everyone's gaze focused on the Woods family, and Mrs. Woods realized the severity of the situation.
No! They can’t take this three hundred million dollars out! Mrs. Woods stood up abruptly: “No! | can’t...” Before she could finish her sentence, Xaviera stood up and applauded loudly: “Miss Woods is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, spending a sky-high price of three hundred million dollars on a violin for the sake of donating to the children, deeply touching! | simply cannot match the breadth of Miss Woods‘ mind. Miss Woods is the role model among wealthy family’s daughters! | hope everyone could be as selfless as Miss Woods!” She even kicked Yigol, telling him to “Quickly clap!” Yigol immediately stood up and shouted loudly: “That's right! The Woods family is truly a model of wealthy families!” With the Mamet family taking the lead, the others also stood up and applauded one after another.
