Chapter 691 - 691: The Young Master's Name is Yigol Mamet!
Chapter 691: Chapter 691: The Young Master’s Name is Yigol Mamet!
Tobey Swift’s face was gloomy, her fists clenched tightly, her fingertips almost embedded in her palm, but she stubbornly gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound, maintaining her last bit of dignity.
Xaviera Evans smiled lightly: “I dare to ask the shopkeeper, am I considered the winner now?”
The shopkeeper stood still for a few seconds, he did not expect Mr. Heninger to really show up, the legendary creator of the hollow jade ring porcelain vases.
Upon hearing Xaviera’s words, he hurriedly nodded: “Indeed! You have won, Miss.”
Tobey Swift lowered her head, her face twisted in anger. After a moment of silence, she slowly looked up and revealed a relieved smile, “I didn’t realize this Miss was from the Heninger family. I was blind, and I lost.”
Yigol Mamet snorted coldly: “Since you’ve lost, bring out the ancient painting!”
This was the original bet agreed upon by both parties. Earlier, Tracy Swift forced Xaviera to hand over the “Heart of the Rose” necklace and even tried to snatch it. Now that Tobey had lost, she should hand over the 30 million dollar ancient painting.
Tobey clenched her teeth, suppressing the tumultuous emotions in her heart. The ancient painting, worth 30 million dollars, was her father’s treasure. She had gambled it away, and the price was too high.
She took a deep breath, still wearing a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, without any sign of anger. “Since I’ve lost, I will naturally offer up the painting. May I ask where Miss lives? I will send someone to deliver the painting there.”
Xaviera: “Brother, since you have won this bet for me, I will give you this painting.”
Quine Heninger did not refuse, directly instructing his subordinates to leave an address.
Tobey frowned. The Heninger family was a wealthy and powerful family, possessing all sorts of treasures. They wouldn’t care about her ancient painting. She originally thought Quine wouldn’t accept it, but to her surprise, he took it!
Tracy was so angry that she stomped her foot, “You…how could you accept…”
“Why can’t I accept?” Yigol Mamet interrupted her, taunting, “When you thought we had lost earlier, you directly tried to snatch the necklace. Besides, Miss Swift already said that the loser should graciously accept the outcome. You better send the painting to the Swift family promptly, or else others may think the Swift family is being dishonest!”
Now that the bet was settled, the crowd gradually dispersed, losing interest in the spectacle. Tobey had no face to stay any longer and was about to leave when she suddenly paused, turning around to ask, “May I know your honorable family name, Miss?”
Before Xaviera could speak, Yigol stepped forward, arrogantly saying, “What? Do you want to seek revenge?”
Tobey suppressed the anger in her heart, forcing a light smile, “Of course not. It’s just that I’ve never heard of a Miss in the Heninger family, so…”
The crowd instantly understood Tobey’s meaning; she doubted Xaviera’s identity and didn’t believe she was a member of the Heninger family.
Yigol snorted disdainfully, “Whether she’s part of the Heninger family or not doesn’t concern you. All you need to know is that you lost, and it was Quine who helped her. From the start, the person who wanted to buy the famille rose porcelain vase was me; she just came with me. If you want revenge, come find me! My name is Yigol Mamet!”
Upon hearing the name, even the always composed Tobey couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, shocked. “Yigol Mamet? You… Are you part of the Mamet family?”
Tobey saw Yigol’s luxurious clothes and looked at Caleb Mamet nearby. There was some resemblance between the two, so she gently smiled, “Are you the head of the Mamet family, Caleb Mamet?”
Yigol: “?” What was this woman smiling at? Did she want to flirt with Caleb in front of his rightful wife?
Caleb remained indifferent, not giving a response. Tobey seemed unaware of his coldness and continued to speak, “Mister Mamet, we have met when we were younger, but it has been more than a decade. You must not remember me. Today, I came to the porcelain store because I knew that Madam Mamet liked the famille rose hollowed porcelain vases. I wanted to buy one as a gift for her, but who knew I would run into Mr. Yigol Mamet and cause a misunderstanding.”
As her words fell, Caleb still did not react, but Tobey smiled calmly: “Initially, I blamed myself for not being able to buy the porcelain vase that Mrs. Mamet liked. Now that I know Yigol also wanted to gift it to her, I feel relieved.”
There was another moment of silence, with Caleb remaining quiet and others not chiming in. Tobey stood awkwardly for a while, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly, “Teacher, Tracy, let’s go.”
The three left with their entourage, and the crowded store quieted down considerably, as if the air had suddenly become fresher.
