Edward’s hand instinctively reached out for his gun, but then he realized that his gun was actually empty.Still, he pointed the empty gun at Lark without hesitation. “Who the fuck are you? How did you get into my house?”“He’s a shareholder of Pinkness company,” Stephen remembered him. “Since you’re here, it means you want to cooperate with me in getting the company into my hands.”Lark didn’t reply to Stephen or to Edward.He came down the stairs at his own pace and then kissed the maid’s hand gently. “You can go now, dear.”The maid nervously smiled and then scuttled away into the kitchen.Stephen was grinding his teeth in frustration already, but it caused him more pain because he lost a few teeth due to Denver.It made him feel all the more sour.Lark sipped on wine and approached them with confidence and charisma as a gun was still pointed at him.“Don’t point such a scary thing at me, Mr. Edward,” Lark smiled gently. “I didn’t come here to have a fight with you. If I did, I wou

Sia’s bright demeanor turned into a faint glimmer that morning. She didn’t look like she was after Denver anymore, but there was no obvious sign of defeat in her eyes, either.Sia didn’t talk much with Catherine, which made Catherine think that Sia was feeling the sting of defeat.Sia left the flat with a half-hearted smile.As she trudged out the door, her presence feeling lighter and less invasive, Catherine’s heart also felt lighter.She turned toward Denver and said, “We should get ourselves a new house.”“Do you want me to buy one?” Denver said.“No, not with that bank card,” Catherine quickly said. “I want us to buy a house together with our own income.”Denver sighed. “It’s going to take at least two years, and even then, we’ll need to take a loan if we want to buy a decent house.”“I know, but we have to buy a new house,” Catherine resolutely said, her eyes sparkling with resolve. “We can’t stay in an apartment like this forever.”“Sure, but I should tell you about one thing.”

“I-I wanted to surprise you, Catherine,” Denver didn’t expect that she’d get upset over something like this.He thought he was reversing all the harm her sister had done to her.He thought he was making things much better for her.He thought she’d be happy and excited.Catherine put her hand on her forehead. She was clearly not liking this.Just then, a man in sixties, the neighboring meat shop owner from across the street, arrived there and asked her, “Girl, you seem to be building something big. I was shocked when the old property got razed to the ground, but who knew you were planning to build something like this?“Where did you get that much money? And why are you adding the dumpyard’s landing into your land? You asked permission for it, right? Otherwise, you’ll get into trouble later.”Catherine didn’t quite know how to respond.This neighbor used to look down on her because Catherine refused the love proposal of his son.When she was barely keeping herself above the poverty line

Subrina and Catherine left in the car.Denver talked with the site manager and told him that he got the clearance for the dumpyard.He wrote a check of 100,000 dollars and gave it to the manager. “Bring only the quality material. I will be overseeing things, so if I feel that you’re playing tricks, I’ll make you regret it.”The manager knew that Denver used to be a construction worker. “I would not dare play tricks with you, Mr. Denver.”“If I’m satisfied with the end product, I’ll give you a fat bonus,” Denver told him, making him feel excited.“I will work extra hard and make sure you’ll be thoroughly satisfied, sir.”Denver noticed that the manager gave him a promotion from ‘mister’ to ‘sir.’ “Just call me, Denver,” he said. “And you’re going to create the three pools just like it shows in the pictures, and also a special villa where four to five people can comfortably live.”“Of course, sir, I mean, Mr. Denver.”Denver had already seen the plans. There was a pool which looked like

Denver left the pool property and looked for a taxi, so he had to come to the market. He saw a friend, Samson, who owned a goods taxi, currently unloading items into the shop.Denver went there and helped him with the goods. After quickly finishing the job, they both slapped each other’s hands and tried to arm-wrestle at the same time.Samson was a big guy, but Denver still managed to beat him.Nevertheless, Samson laughed. “You are as strong as ever. What are you doing these days?”“Not much. I need to go to a wedding hall,” Denver said. “Will you give me a ride?”“You don’t have to ask, bro,” Samson punched Denver’s shoulder. “Get inside.”It was a twenty minute ride to the wedding hall.“Thanks for the ride, buddy,” Denver took his purse out to pay the money.“No, dude. I can’t take money for such a small ride,” Samson quickly drove away. “See ya later.”Denver could only shake his head initially but he smiled.Samson was a hard-working man, so seeing him made Denver feel motivated
