313 Chapter 313: 930 Million Dollars is Enough Xaviera Evans frowned instantly. O What did he mean by that? Was he saying those billions would all be his later? Was he deliberately trying to provoke Caleb Mamet? Just as Xaviera was about to speak, Caleb casually said, “Mr. Drew seems a little too narrow-minded.” Xaviera: She felt dizzy with anger, but Caleb was known to have a sharp tongue, so how could he be bullied? Boyd Drew's expression was calm as he raised his bid to 80 billion dollars, “It seems Mr. Caleb Mamet is determined to win this island?” Caleb snickered as he held up his sign again.
It was about to reach 10 billion dollars, as expected.
However...
Caleb: “930 million dollars.” Everyone: “727?” What was going on? What was the deal with the extra 3 billion dollars? This didn’t seem like Caleb's style at all? Boyd Drew's face darkened in an instant.

Xaviera was also somewhat puzzled. She had thought that Caleb would directly bid 10 billion dollars. What was the deal with the 930 million? But seeing Boyd Drew’s gloomy face, Xaviera knew that Caleb had won.
No need to add to 10 billion dollars, just 930 million dollars would suffice.
Boyd Drew suppressed his emotions and sighed helplessly, “Since Mr. Caleb Mamet likes this island so much, Drew will not compete.” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as this battle finally came to an end.
“You're not giving up, you just can’t compete,” Caleb suddenly spoke up. “You just can’t beat me.” Boyd Drew couldn't compete? Caleb's eyes flashed a trace of mockery, fleeting in an instant.
Boyd Drew was simply no match for him, that was a fact.
“You only have 920 million dollars in assets under your name, so 930 million is enough to make you admit defeat.” Caleb's expression was indifferent as he leisurely said, “You still want to give her gifts?” Boyd Drew appeared composed, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, “Boyd Drew has a calculated net worth of only 920 million dollars, but Mr. Caleb Mamet...” That person paused for a moment before continuing, “This 930 million dollars doesn’t mean much to Mr. Caleb Mamet.” Indeed, it didn’t mean much.
Just by looking at Caleb's indifferent expression, it was clear that this money was nothing more than a number to him.
Boyd Drew forcibly suppressed his anger. He took out all his assets but still couldn't compare to even half of Caleb's.

This disparity made Boyd Drew feel powerless, his eyes full of gloom.
After Caleb won the auction for the island, Steve Price went directly to make the payment.
Steve Price suddenly said, “Miss Evans’ over 100 million dollars will also be paid by our president. He said that the name of the foundation could be called ‘Chasing Caleb’ or ‘Captain Caleb! Anyway, it has to be chosen from these two names.” Everyone: “...” Chasing Caleb? This was clearly a combination of Caleb and Xaviera’s names! So what was their relationship? At that moment, Xavier Hamer just happened to walk by. A few people whispered, “Do you know the relationship between Xaviera Evans and Albert Sullivan?” “No idea.” “1 heard that after Xaviera was driven out of her family when she was young, she was adopted by the Sullvian family and called Albert her brother. Since Albert and Xavier Hamer are sworn brothers, it’s only natural for Xavier to treat Albert's sister like his own sister.” Everyone suddenly realized.
That person continued, “So Mr. Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans are so close because of Albert?” The others chimed in, “Yeah! Albert is Xaviera’s older brother, so he’s been protecting her all along. Xavier Hamer also takes good care of Xaviera as if he’s her brother, so Mr. Caleb Mamet must be!” After Steve Price made the payment, he returned to the auction hall, “President, it's done.” Caleb nodded and showed Xaviera some photos of the island on his phone, introducing her to the surrounding scenery.
Suddenly, a few people came over with ingratiating smiles on their faces, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, we didn’t know about Miss Evans’ relationship with you before. We may have offended you, please don’t take it to heart.” Caleb raised his eyes, and several people spoke up in succession, “Miss Evans, we were deceived by Zara Woods before and had some misunderstandings about you. If we knew you had this kind of relationship with Mr. Caleb Mamet, we wouldn’t have thought too much about it.” Xaviera’s eyes widened.
It's over! Did people find out about their marriage? Seeing the hypocritical faces of these people, Xaviera felt her heart turn cold.
