How to remove "Read More" from this theme ?

Hi everyone,

I’m using “the box” theme in wordpres, the free version. When I make a post it shows a bit of text and adds a “Read More” link. I have to click on the link to read the entire article. I don’t want “Read More” link and I want to display the entire article on the front page. I’ve tried a lot but nothing worked. I found the text “Read More” in my functions.php

Here is the code.

function thebox_excerpt($num) {
global $post;
$limit = $num+1;
$excerpt = explode(‘ ‘, get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
array_pop($excerpt);
$excerpt = implode(” “,$excerpt).”…
ID) .” ‘>”.__(‘Read more’, ‘thebox’).” »“;
echo $excerpt;
}

and this is the entire functions.php
