CHAPTER 21
After coming out of the building, Stephen kicked an object on the side of the pavement to vent his frustration.“Can’t you tell your dad and get the diamond card blocked first?” Diane asked him.“The diamond card was given to my dad by someone,” Stephen made up a lie on the spot. “So, I can’t just recklessly tell him that it was stolen.”Diane frowned. “Then we have to get the card back somehow. If we have such a card with us, we can buy Pinkness back and do a lot more things.”“Of course. That’s my intention, too,” Stephen’s eyes were full of motivation. Denver appeared like a golden goose before his eyes. He wanted to cut open the goose and take all the eggs for himself, as many as he could.Meanwhile, inside the building.Denver still stood sternly, his hands in his pockets, staring seriously toward the exit. More than the fact that he managed to kick Diane out of the company, her betrayal still far outweighed. A rage continued to seethe within him, and a ball of hurt that twisted

CHAPTER 22
Stephen said he had some work to do and left on his own, so Diane was forced to take the bus, which she obviously didn’t like.“He couldn’t even drop me at home,” Diane was hissing under her breath. “He’s not reliable at all. Once I get the company into my hands, I’ll slowly get away from Stephen, too.”Just then, her mobile received a notification.She checked the message and was shocked by it. She received a credit of 320 dollars from the company for the current month, with a note saying, ‘Don’t Cheat.’Diane’s face swelled with anger. “How dare you do this to me, Denver… You think you can drag me down like this? No, I will stand my ground. I will not back down. You’re not making this any easier for me, so I’ll make your life even more difficult.” She, who was planning on going home, ended up going to the police station. By the time she got there, she had bruises on her neck and arms.She told the police that her ex-boyfriend attacked her and made them file a complaint on him, usin

CHAPTER 23
As Denver was leaving the headquarters of Pinkness, the guard lowered his back and greeted him, “Forgive me for running my mouth, sir.”Denver almost forgot about the guard. “If I forgive you, will you be a loyal servant?”“I will, sir. I will,” the guard raised his body and looked at Denver expectantly.“Don’t judge people by their appearances and statuses,” Denver said and walked away.“Thank you, sir,” the guard quickly saluted. “My name is Joseph! I will do my best to not disappoint you, sir!”Seeing Denver heading to his old red Volkswagen, Joseph quickly scuttled over and tried to open the door, but it didn’t come out.Denver pressed the button on the key, and then Joseph was able to open the door.“You don’t have to do this for me,” Denver told him. “Just do the guarding job properly.”“Yes, sir.”After Denver drove away, Joseph let out a deep breath and took his cap down.“I thought I was going to lose my job. Luckily, I didn’t. I have to make up for my mistake somehow,” he th

CHAPTER 24
“What are the craters on the moon, Grandpa?” Terry Clarke, a six-year-old, asked his grandfather, Sage Clarke just as Denver entered the room.“You said it yourself. They are craters,” Sage replied.Terry twisted his little mouth in dissatisfaction which made Sage laugh.“They are caused by the bursting of gases from within,” Denver replied almost without himself being aware of it. He touched his forehead, and the vague image of a woman and her smile flashed in his mind as he and the woman were sitting on a seashore and were staring at the moon. It felt like she was the one who told him those words.“Mm?” Sage’s gaze shifted to Denver. Seeing the receptionist with him, Sage said, “Are you Denver?”“U-Uh, yeah,” Denver didn’t think too much about this sudden but vague memory that popped in his mind. Who was that woman? She definitely didn’t seem like Diane, or Catherine, or even Sheryl. Why did he suddenly remember that memory? Either way, he had to focus on the task at hand.Denver sh

CHAPTER 25
A few minutes earlier.“I cannot believe that she actually destroyed the pool facility!” Subrina felt anger just thinking about it. “I knew she was crazy, but she’s become uncontrollable ever since Richard died.”“She needs to pay for this,” Catherine said. “She took some of Dad’s savings, didn’t she? Make her give that money to me. Otherwise, I will never talk to you both, because you’re always supporting her. That’s why she does anything she wants, without any limits!”“D-Don’t talk like that. Both of you are equal to me,” Subrina quickly said.“Words are meaningless, Mom,” Catherine folded her arms and said firmly. “Prove it to me with your actions. Or else, I won’t believe you in this matter.”Subrina frowned. “But your sister… she will never give a penny of hers. You know that, right?”“That’s why you should force her.”“This house is written in her name, and we sold our old property,” Subrina said. “We have nothing on her. So, how can we force her?”“Aren’t you our mother? You ha

CHAPTER 26
Subrina was utterly stunned to see what happened.Diane felt a stinging pain in her gut, but what shocked her even more was how her younger sister kicked her in her abdomen with no sense of care or concern. She was finding it hard to believe that this actually happened, but the reality was that she was now lying on the floor, grabbing her belly in escalating pain and frustration.“Catherine! How could you kick your sister?!” Subrina howled as she helped Diane get up to her feet.Catherine looked a bit guilty of what she did. Nevertheless, she still was angry. “Why don’t you also tell her that she shouldn’t talk without restraint? Denver is no longer her fiance,” she grabbed Denver’s hand. “He’s my man. I will not condone it if you keep disrespecting him.”Subrina was astonished to hear Catherine’s words. “Are you really taking his side over your family? He’s a stranger, Catherine!”“My family?” Catherine’s eyes turned teary, the hurt in her voice breaking through her usually calm faca

CHAPTER 27
As Denver was driving, he looked at Catherine’s elbow injury. “Should we go to a clinic?”“No, I hate the smell of the hospital,” she said. “I don’t want to go there anytime soon. I’ll just buy some ointment, and it should dry up overnight.”Denver smiled but not for long. “Are you really planning on distancing yourself from not just your sister but also your mom?”“She always takes Diane’s side,” Catherine’s voice contained anger as well as pain. “It’s like she’s in love with her or something. Why do some parents treat their children differently? My dad treated us both equally. In fact, I should say that you become his first priority more than me. Logically, I should be jealous of you…”“Haha, were you?”“No. Maybe, if Dad brought you when I was little, then I would have been angry, but I finished college by the time he brought you into the house,” Catherine said. “I think that’s the best thing he’s done in his life. He was proud of himself, too, that he managed to steal a good man a

CHAPTER 28
At Sage Clarke’s mansion.He put his grandson to sleep by reading a story, and then came to his room. There were a few missed calls from his assistant, so he called her mobile. “Why did you call so many times?”“Boss, I did research on Denver and Cat Pools as you wanted,” the assistant replied. “Denver worked in our company for the past three years as he said. But it seems that Stephen Creamer is involved in the destruction of the pool property.”“Who’s that?” Wait, Creamer? Is he related to Edward?”“He’s Edward’s son, sir.”“Oh… I guess he didn’t have a good reason to destroy the pool property?”“I couldn’t get much information, but there’s something interesting I found out about.”“And that is?”“Denver is a diamond-card holder of the Den bank.”“Diamond card?” Sage’s expression changed. “Isn’t that an extremely rare card?”“Yes, Boss. I was shocked, too. Maybe he found it on the street out of luck?”“Haha,” Sage laughed loudly. “You think such a card can be randomly found on the s

CHAPTER 29
“You may own a pool, but your apartment is very small. No guys will be willing to move in together.”“Yeah, you should at least buy a bigger couch and bed. Also, wear some colorful clothes. Put some makeup on. Don’t you want guys to look at you?”“These days, situations are reversing. Guys are not approaching girls anymore, so it’s us girls who have to do the work to obtain good men.”“How long are you going to wait for the right man, Catherine? You’re wasting the prime years of your youth! You will regret it all later.”Their words suddenly woke her up. She was even huffing and sweating a little. “These damn hyenas… they are disturbing me even in my sleep.” She thought about her friends who had always tried to demoralize her one way or another. “They said nobody will sleep in my apartment, but the biggest guy I know is sleeping in my room, on my bed, bitches. What do you say about that, huh? Mm?”Just then, she realized that she wasn’t sleeping on the couch, but her bed.“Wait, why a

CHAPTER 30
Catherine told Denver that she’s going to find a job for herself and left the apartment after giving him the spare key.Denver cleaned the place first and was about to leave, but Catherine’s friends just happened to visit.They were all surprised to see Denver coming out of her flat. Two of them knew him, but the other two didn’t.“Is that a thief?” one of the girls quickly said.“No, he’s Catherine’s sister’s fiance,” another girl said, “though I don’t remember his name.”“Look how big he is. Are those real muscles, or is he wearing a fake body within?”All four of the girls were in sports outwear as they were athletes trying to win medals for the state and the country. They all looked fit and healthy just like Catherine, though one of them was as tall as Denver.“Hi,” the tallest girl introduced herself first, “I’m Sia. Diane’s friend.”“She’s not inside. She went out for an interview,” Denver said.“Interview? Is he looking for a job?” Sia and others were shocked. “Did she give up
