Chapter 601: [Bonus - ] Changed man
Days and weeks had passed since that dinner with Heaven. To be truthfully honest, Axel could barely understand his sister-in-law. Yet, despite his bafflement, he diligently went to the acting lessons, finished his work, trained in the racetrack, and then gambled in the night with Moose.
At first, Axel was surprised at the amount of money Grandma Zhu had given him to gamble away. Axel already learned his lesson, and as much as possible, he didn’t want to gamble. He learned it through Silas as that man used to gamble so much money to the point he used Dominic’s name and forged his signature to get loans from different people.
The only time Axel had the courage to gamble was when he was suspended from the racetrack. But after that incident, he learned that gambling was truly not for him. Therefore, he already forgot about anything like that. Even a simple bet, he wouldn’t participate. But now, he had to, according to Heaven.
He didn’t know why, but eventually, Axel understood the need for gambling. Specifically, poker. Moose taught him. To test Axel’s newfound skill, Heaven wanted to see if he truly improved through gambling. After all, playing poker required bluffing. If he could bluff veteran poker players, then Axel could bluff Silas.
It was Heaven’s little project. After all, lying was a skill. He didn’t need Axel to learn self-defense for now, but rather a skill that Silas wouldn’t expect someone like Axel to hone.
Mrs. Deng was Axel’s test subject.
"Is that all?" Axel unbuttoned his inner blouse in front of the full-length mirror while Mrs. Deng, the head maid, was standing several steps behind him.
"Ye — yes, second young master." Mrs. Deng lowered her eyes, afraid that once she raised her head to him while he was undressing, Axel would snap at her once again. She could still remember Axel dragging her when he found out about her sick fantasies.
Axel stopped from unbuttoning his shirt, letting his chest and upper abdomen be exposed. He slowly turned around to where Mrs. Deng stood.
