“Exactly. Coming here once a year is virtuous enough. Who would be willing to drop 600 million in one go?”

Everyone was talking, but not a single person raised their paddle.

Axel looked at Venus sitting motionless and sneered inwardly.

He knew she was all talk and no action.

Something worth 600 million!

She couldn’t even afford the 300,000-dollar item, let alone

Darcy wiped his brow and said softly to Venus, “Ms. Oracle, if you don’t want to move back home, no one can force you. I’ve got your back.”

Venus smiled, her gaze fixed on the display case.

Ordinary people couldn’t see it, but she could.

A faint white glow surrounded the ancient silver artifact and she could sense how much spiritual energy it

contained!

If she bought this and carved a spiritual inscription into it, it would be far more powerful than any crystal ball or bundle of sage.

Perfect for Drake!

She’d be spending his money to buy something for him Perfect.

The host announced loudly, “The mysterious ancient silver artifact has a fixed price of 600 million. Do we have any guests who wish to bid on it?”

Axel stood up as if he’d found ammunition, saying loudly, “Mr. Weston, didn’t Ms. Burn you brought say she was going to bid?

Axel scoffed. “She’s the one who said she’d contribute to charity using her own abilities. What’s wrong?

Others began talking among themselves.

“Who would be foolish enough to donate 600 million?”

“Exactly. These days money doesn’t grow on trees. If charity donations didn’t come with tax write-offs, I wouldn’t be happy about having to donate a large sum every year. It hurts!”

“I heard this girl is Axel’s adopted sister. The Burns took her in as a foster child a year ago.”

“An adopted girl who came from the countryside getting to attend an event like this is already the blessing of a lifetime.”

“Six hundred million? Even if Julian were here, he wouldn’t be willing to fork over that over.”

“Axel told her to leave from the start. She’s the one who insisted on staying. How embarrassing.”

“She’s just a foster kid, not the real Burn heiress. Of course she’s embarrassing herself-who else would it be?”

Hearing the others gossip about Venus, Darcy’s expression darkened. He opened his mouth to speak, but…
