Chapter 107 Honor Your Bet

“The check was stolen…”

Finished

“That’s total bullshit!” Saul didn’t hold back at all. “The check was personally signed and sealed by Mr. Drake, and I personally delivered it to Ms. Burn.

“Who’s out there spreading rumors that Ms. Burn stole the check?

“Ms. Burn is being way too frugal. Tell you what, let her spend another 600 million and put it on Mr. Drake’s

tab.”

Hearing Saul’s outrageous statement, everyone who’d been waiting to watch the drama unfold was completely stunned.

The impact hit Axel the hardest. Saul’s words shut down his brain, leaving nothing but static.

“How … how is this possible…

“How could Venus possibly know Drake…

Even if she knew him, how could Drake be willing to spend so much money on her!

It took Axel a long time to recover.

Darcy mocked him without mercy. “Mr. Burn, now that the truth is out, don’t you owe Ms. Burn an apology?”

Axel’s expression darkened, but his eyes remained shar as he stared at Venus, questioning her incredulously, “Why would Drake give you so much money?

“Venus, you’re just an ugly duckling with no family background or special talents. What kind of shady deal did you make with Drake?”

His words were clearly insinuating that Venus’s massive check had suspicious origins.

Venus’s face was impassive. “How I got the check is none of your business.

“Why don’t you call Drake directly and ask him what kind of shady deal he made with me?”

Axel snapped, “Don’t think I won’t dare! Otherwise, why would he give you so much money!”

Venus scoffed. “Would you really risk being blacklisted by the elite just to offend Drake?

“Of course you don’t dare!

“You can’t figure out why Drake would give me a huge check because it’s none of your business.

“What is your business is that you’re about to pay the price for your words and actions now, Mr. Axel.”

Axel’s expression darkened. “What price?”

“Now that I’ve successfully bid on the ancient silver artifact and verified 600 million in assets, what did you say earlier, Mr. Axel?”

Darcy couldn’t hide his satisfaction at seeing Axel squirm. His eyes gleamed as he helpfully added, “Mr.

Finished

Burn said if Ms. Burn could successfully bid on the ancient silver artifact, he would publicly acknowledge you his sister!”

Axel immediately felt his dignity and authority had been challenged.

Forcing him, the older brother, to publicly acknowledge her as his sister would be a deeper humiliation than a public slap.

“This is ridiculous. I’m her brother! Since when does an older brother have to bow and scrape to his little sister?

“Venus, aren’t you afraid of tempting fate?”

Venus became even calmer. “Remember our bet earlier

“I won. What are you supposed to announce publicly?’

Axel’s stern face was dark and gloomy.

He had originally thought Venus would deliberately lose to him and then move back home.

But looking at her unwavering stance now, she clearly despised the Burns.

“So that’s why you suddenly became a different person with such a huge change.” Axel sneered sarcastically. “Turns out you got in with the Frosts from Vueburg. With someone backing you, you’ve gotten bold.

“You don’t even respect the Burns anymore, do you?”

Venus looked at him. He was still slinging mud at her, but she laughed instead of getting angry.

“Mr. Axel, have some shame.”

Axel frowned.

Venus grabbed the microphone from the host’s hand and said loudly, “Do you dare to put your hand on your heart and say that the Burns has ever treated me well, respected me, or accepted me?”

In a flash, everyone’s eyes turned to look at Axel.
