Chapter 105 Read the Name

Axel’s face was cold. “I’m not like Rayne who indulges you. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll show you what a belt feels like.”

The corners of Venus’s mouth lifted in a contemptuous smile. “I’m not going to hit you. No need to get so worked up, Mr. Axel.”

She reached out and took the pen from his suit pocket, then pulled out a check.

Darcy’s sharp eyes immediately caught Drake’s name of the blank check.

Seeing that name, his anxious heart settled down.

Axel only saw the check but not the name. His stern face was full of mockery.

“At least you had the sense to get a fake check. Venus, you’ve never been to this kind of event before. I bet you didn’t know there are bank representatives here specifically to verify assets, did you?

“You think you can fool everyone with a fake check?

“You’re so naive it’s actually stupid!”

Venus ignored him and quickly wrote down the amount on the blank check, then handed it to the professional bank verifier.

The mockery on Axel’s face deepened. “I’m embarrassed for you…

Before he could finish, the bank representative said, “As et verification successful for 600 million. Ms. Burn’s check is authentic.”

The entire auction hall fell completely silent.

“Impossible. This is impossible!”

Axel’s shocked voice was the first to break the eerie silence.

He was so flustered he even forgot about his image, rushing up to the bank representative and questioning, “You work for the Westons, right?”

The bank representative simply pulled out his credentials.

question my character, but you cannot question my work!”

nded.

present was stunned.

Six hundred million! Where did you get 600 million?” Axel suddenly thought of something, his expression turning dark. “Venus! You stole from the family again, didn’t you? This check, you stole it from home-”

Slap!

A loud slap echoed through the auction hall.

Everyone was stunned, staring at Venus in shock.

She… she’s an adopted daughter, yet she slapped the Burns’ eldest son in public?

Had she lost her mind!

Axel’s

eyes

widened, full of disbelief. “You actually dared to hit me?”

It was one thing to hit Rayne, but he was the eldest!

With so many people here, didn’t he have a reputation to maintain?

What did she think she was doing to his dignity as the eldest brother?

Axel came to his senses and raised his hand to strike bak.

Venus grabbed his wrist, her face ice cold. “What do you mean ‘stole from your family again’?

“Last time the police already cleared my name. Now you’re falsely accusing me of stealing from your family. What, does Mr. Axel want to get sued for defamation?”

“You-“Axel struggled hard several times but couldn’t break free from her grip.

He was shocked to his core.

Venus was such a thin, small girl. Where did she get such strength?

He was a grown man and couldn’t even break free from her grasp.

Axel looked up and his gaze locked with her clear, bright eyes.

Calm and deep, filled with a chilling authority that sent shivers down his spine.

It was the first time he’d seen such a look in her eyes, one that didn’t match her

age.

It actually made him feel a hint of fear.

Fear?

He was actually afraid of someone like Venus?

What a joke!

“Let go!”

Axel barked.

Venus released him. Axel staggered several steps and nearly fell.

Humiliated and furious, he said, “If you didn’t steal it, where did you get the check?
