2024-11-08 09:11:35After Denver sat back on the couch, the manager poured wine to Denver.
“Guigal wine. Twenty years old, and worth 12,000 dollars a bottle. This is only served to those who sit in the VIP lounge. I don’t dare drink it unless the guest tells me to.”
Denver understood what the manager was implying, so he said,
“You can drink it, too.”
“Haha,” the manager happily smiled.
“Indeed, sir. Drinks taste better when you share them.”
He poured wine for himself and happily sipped on the precious alcohol.
The manager took a look at the account details and was expecting to see a lot of money.
But he was a little disappointed to see only a billion dollars in the account.
“You have a billion dollars, sir.”
“Pfft,” Denver spilled out the wine.
“Mm? Is everything okay, sir?” the manager asked. “Was the wine not to your liking? Do you want a different wine? Cote Rotie? Or Rostaing?”
“No, a fly entered my nose, that’s all,” Denver replied.
“This wine is pretty good. But, sir… Did you say there are b-billion dollars in the account?”
Denver’s question was understood differently by the manager.
“Sir, the balance on the card is important, for sure, but as long as you have this diamond card, you could access ample funds within the bank. That’s why I think only five or maybe six people in the world own this diamond card."
"And their information is kept confidential even from the likes of myself. Unless I get permission from the headquarters, I won’t be able to know more details about your account.”
Denver’s eyes enlarged very much.
He kept thinking about the stylish woman who gave him the bank card.
Just who was she?
How could she give him such a valuable card?
He really felt like meeting her again.
“I thought she was a mental case, but it turned out I was the one who doesn’t remember her. I should have gotten her number at least… Dammit.”
And the manager continued to discuss some things with Denver for the next few minutes.
Eventually, Denver came out of the VIP lounge, as personally escorted down the stairs by the manager himself.
Denver’s gaze just happened to look toward the entrance of the bank, where he saw not just Subrina but also Diane and Stephen.
Denver’s heart felt stung when he saw Diane.
All the harsh things she would say straight to his face kept coming back to his mind like a flood.
Sandpaper hands.
Cement Head.
Brick Brain.
All these little insults of hers made Denver unhappy back then, but now, even more so, as all his efforts to be how she wanted turned out to be utterly fruitless.
Meanwhile, Subrina was talking to Stephen in a low voice,
“Mister, there’s an issue with the check. It wasn’t processed.”
“That’s not possible,” Stephen confidently stated. “Get it checked once more.”
“W-Why don’t you do it?” Subrina hesitantly asked.
Stephen coldly stared at her.
“I’ll do it,” Diana took the check from her mother and entered the building.
Just then, she saw Denver coming down the stairs.
For a second, she was startled, but she quickly recovered and snorted,
“What’s a loser like you doing here?”
The manager was stepping forward, but Denver brought his hand in the way and stopped him.
Diana snorted and snickered some more.
“And who’s the clown behind you? Your lackey? You two look like you’re made for each other.”
Subrina saw the manager controlling himself, and lots of calculations ran through her mind because the manager listened to Denver’s words.
She quickly came to her daughter and whispered in her ear,
“Denver was in possession of an ultra-rare diamond card. That’s why the manager is standing behind him.”
(He’s the manager?) Diana’s heart trembled for a second.
(If the manager is acting subservient to Denver, does that mean the card he has is really a valuable card?)
Stephen who was standing right behind them just barely heard Subrina’s words.
He immediately raised his hand and pointed his finger toward Denver.
“You thief! Did you steal my diamond card and then come here?”
Everyone present there, including the security guard, the staff, the assistant manager, and the manager were all shocked to hear that accusation.
Subrina’s eyes widened as she put the pieces together.
“So that’s how it is… He stole your card and then came here to show off in front of me. Quite a cynical plot he brew!”
Her eyes brimmed with raving anger.
Diane believed her mother’s version very easily.
“How could you do such a thing, Denver? You are trash among trash! Give us the card back! Now!”
“Diane… your breath smells like cum,” Denver shut his nose. “Will you please stop shouting?”
Diane’s eyes bulged out of her sockets, and Subrina’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
Both of them couldn’t believe what Denver just said.
Denver never even frowned no matter how badly or unfairly they had treated him.
Not even once.
So, hearing such a ruthless comment from him incapacitated both the mother and the daughter for the nonce.
“Manager, didn’t you hear what I said?”
Stephen stood his ground, keeping his hands in his pockets and standing tall and confident.
“Make him hand over my card. You know very well who I am, don’t you?”

“You know very well who I am don’t you?”Stephen’s words made the manager frown. Seeing the manager conflicted, Stephen hiddenly smirked. In truth, he was no longer as rich as he used to be. His father lost a lot of money lately, but he was still a well-known and feared-figure locally.The manager knew Stephen’s father, which was also why he didn’t think Stephen’s father was capable of having a diamond card. But then again, the card might have been temporarily given to Stephen’s father by the real owner.The manager briefly glanced at Denver who had already entered the correct password. He wished he was able to see the account details, but because of the confidentiality, he was not capable of doing so. It would take too long to get permission from the headquarters, but the problem before him needed to be resolved as fast as possible.Because all the staff in the bank had stopped working due to this incident. The other customers were also looking and probably even recording the i

“Boss, will you give me permission to dispose of this garbage?” Sheryl asked.“Dispose?” Denver didn’t like that word.“Yeah,” Sheryl was still smiling. “Just give me a nod, and they’ll be gone from your sight.”Denver reluctantly nodded,“Just make them leave.”“Okay.” Sheryl then turned to face Stephen, Diane, and Subrina. And she briefly looked at the manager.“You haven’t answered my question yet, bitch,” Diane blurted.“Where did you rent the car! How much Denver is paying you for this act?!”“Shut up,” the manager raised his voice, startling Diane and others. “Madam Sheryl helped me once in the past. She’s someone who can buy dozens of lamborghinis if she wants, and you bastards dare to badmouth her?!” He glared at them. “Security, chase these dogs out!”The security guard, wanting to redeem himself, immediately activated his baton and jumped at them like a gorilla. They had to run out of the bank’s premisesStephen showed some resistance, but the guard did not spare Stephen

Sheryl stopped her car in front of the house and said, “I need to call someone, so you take care of your business here. I’ll be waiting outside. "We’ll go to a doctor to get your head wound checked after that.”“Okay,” Denver stepped out of the car with effort because he was a big man. He didn’t think he’d enter this house again so soon. But because he knew that Diane was not in the house, he believed that this was the right time for him to take the items he wanted.“Denver, who broke the table lamp?” a voice reached his ears.He stopped and looked to his right.A slender but sinewy woman with pretty bangs was standing at the kitchen door, eating a fruit-nut pudding. It was Diane’s sister.“You are silent, so it was you who broke it, huh,” Catherine’s gaze turned a bit cold. “Yesterday, you bumped into a flower vase and broke it. Today, it’s a table lamp. "You’re a big dude, so you should walk carefully. "If you keep destroying things every day, we will run out of things to de

Even after Denver lost memories, he got into some fights when they broke out during work. However, he never fought eight people.Naturally, he felt intimidated by the number of people that surrounded him. He may be the tallest guy among them, but he was still alone.Still and all, he spoke his mind, “Sheryl gave the bank card to me. If you want it, why don’t you ask her?”Stephen snickered. “Do you take me for a fool? Why would I ask her to get my card back?” He grabbed Denver’s shirt. “You are going to experience hell now for what you did at the bank. And then I’ll take this car and the green-eyed cutie, too.”Stephen tried to put his hand in Denver’s pocket, but Denver pushed Stephen back with both hands. It was such a strong push that Stephen was forced back five steps. In that process, Denver’s uniform buttons also came loose and fell, exposing his chest and part of his abs.“Beat him down!” Stephen yelled.All the eight men attacked Denver with their bare hands.

“Catherine!” Diane shouted at her sister from the jeep. “What the hell are you doing? Get away from that cheater! I’m going to call the police and get him arrested!”“Cheater?” Catherine was startled. “What are you talking about?”“He cheated on me, which is why I canceled the wedding and picked this great man Stephen,” Diane blurted angrily, lying very easily as if it was a natural thing for her. “So, get away from that ungrateful bastard! Even after our father saved his life, he doesn’t have any gratitude toward us. "This is why you should never raise snakes, as they come and bite us in the back eventually!”Catherine was stunned to hear her sister’s words. She looked at Denver. “Is what she’s saying true?”Denver’s face had a hardened look.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Catherine asked again. “That’s because he doesn’t have anything to say!” Diane growled. “That cheater must be kicked out of our lives. No, he must be put in jail, or he won’t let us live peacefully!” Sh

After Denver and Catherine left, Diane came to pick her mobile, and she found the ring box which Denver had thrown away.She opened the box and found the two pre-engagement rings, which were worth about 500 dollars each. She put the box in her pocket and then called for an ambulance, because Stephen was still unconscious.The brown rottweiler, Payne, came running toward her. Diane picked up a stick, causing the dog to run the other way.“This damn dog… why does it not like me but like Catherine and Denver?”“Catherine…” Just thinking about her sister made Diane’s blood boil. “How could you go with him? How could you do this to your family? "You are confident because you have a pool, but what if that pool gets destroyed? "Then you will come crawling to my feet!”Along with Catherine, she believed that Denver would also come crawling back to her and beg for her forgiveness.Danie’s plan was to have a simple, trusting husband like Denver, and then enjoy her life outside, sleeping wi

Denver was driving an old red Volkswagen. It was Richard’s car, but Diane and Subrina wanted to sell it away after Richard died. However, Catherine bought the car from them and had been using it.The car was well-maintained. More importantly, Denver could see the family photo in the front. Even Denver was present in the photo, and it made him feel a little emotional.Denver thought about what Catherine had said in the hospital.“Stephen Creamer is a dangerous guy. "Diane seems to think she can handle him, but she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with. "I’m afraid she and mom will be abused by him.”Thinking back on those words, Denver could only shake his head in frustration.“Diane and her mother don’t care about me,” He was looking at Richard’s face in the photo. “I don’t want anything to do with them, but…”A few minutes later.Denver arrived at the construction site, only to hear the supervisor cursing Jeremy for not completing the cement unloading on time.“You take twice as lo

Henry received a call from David of the Clarke family. He was the brother of Sage Clarke who owned the company.Denver turned to face Henry. (That was fast.)Henry quickly answered the call, “S-Sir David. How are you doing?”“Henry Burner,” David’s voice was heavy and icy,“You don’t have to be in charge of the construction project anymore. And you’re going to be prosecuted for cutting corners in previous projects, too.”“W-What?” Henry’s heart sank into his stomach. “Sir, I thought we were close?”“You fool! You shouldn’t have offended someone who’s out of your league. "Now, there’s nothing I can do for you. If you want to keep your place, then beg that person you pissed off.”The call ended.Henry looked quite confused. Who did he offend? He couldn’t help but look in the direction of Jeremy and Denver. Was it one of those two? No, how could it be them?!Denver raised his mobile and continued talking with Bianca.“It’s done, Mr. Denver,” Bianca said. “He lost his job, and he will

The auction hall was a spectacle of opulence, whether it be the silk clothes of the bidders, or the stupidly rich watches and the priceless jewels adorning their bodies.The bidding price escalated with dizzying speed.Tonight’s crown jewel was the Millennium Herb, a mere single, gnarled root, pulsing with an ethereal inner light. Its rumored properties—immortality, boundless vitality, the ability to unlock untold secrets of the universe—were the stuff of legends.Everybody sitting in the hall wanted to get their hands on this herb, believing that they could rewrite history with it.Catherine felt a jolt of pure adrenaline as the bidding price went from 300 million dollars to 700 million dollars.What’s even more shocking was that the number kept soaring, fueled by desperation and the sheer force of ego.The bidding eventually climbed into the billions.A tense silence settled over nearly half of the hall as some contenders had secretly given up on the item while others still went for

Sheryl radiated a quiet, sophisticated grace on one side of Denver, whereas Catherine was a whirlwind of nervous energy.Denver’s eyes darted from one person to another, all of whom were wearing masks, except for the staff members.Nobody was yelling or shouting.Most of them talked as if they were almost whispering.The quietness only thickened the atmosphere with tension, and the air crackled with anticipation.There were eighteen halls in total.The items being auctioned were listed at the entrance of every hall on a digital screen with images, making it easy for people to see.There were rare paintings being sold in one hall, and even rarer sculptures being bidded in another hall.But tonight, Denver was here to bid for something far more esoteric—the millennium herb.“Denver, look, they are selling 100 year old wine in this hall,” Catherine pointed out. “Shall we go and buy it?”“But you don’t drink, right? I don’t drink, either.”“Yeah, but… we can sell it for a greater price to

The Falcon Fortress was built on hills and occupied an area of nine square kilometers.The outer fort alone spanned nearly three and half square kilometers, and this was where all the humdrum happened.In the inner fort was where the exciting trade happened.The central fort was off-limits to outsiders, unless they were invited.Currently, the air around the inner fort region was thick with ambition, a heady mix of expensive perfume and even more expensive ambition.Many private jets were landing on the runways one after another, and the helicopters also had special helipads built for landing.“It is 2:32 AM,” Sheryl checked her mobile and smiled. “You did a great job bringing us here on time. We might even have enough time to change into better clothes.”“I didn’t want to lose my hair, or my wife would divorce me, so I tried my best, and the winds also helped us,” the pilot replied.“Would your wife really divorce you if you lose your hair?” Denver asked him rather innocently.“I don

“Are you okay with parting like this?” Denver asked Catherine. “We might never return.”“I’m fine,” Catherine said with her face down. “I just need some time to sort my thoughts.”“With her voice gone, every time she tries to speak a word and fails, she’s going to think of Boss Denver,” Sheryl said. “That’s the punishment she deserves for cheating on my boss.”Her words were also like a warning to the other girl sitting in the chopper.On top of that, Sheryl was looking at Catherine.“Don’t push it,” Denver glanced at her.Sheryl’s heart fluttered for a second because she saw the calm yet serious appearance of his boss’ face after a long time, though it didn’t last for long.Just then she received a phone call with the name Bald Falcon.She quickly answered, “What’s up, Baldie? If you are calling at this hour, it means…”“Yes, there’s an auction at 3 AM,” Bald Falcon replied from the other side. “There are many precious items being sold this time, but the most important item of all is

Diane went for Catherine’s face without a shred of hesitation.Catherine rolled to the side in the last fraction of a second.Diane’s knee still hit part of her head, making Catherine hiss in pain.“You dodged that?” Diane smirked with amusement as he put her foot on the diamond card. “You are lucky.”Denver’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Diane…” his hand started to shiver with rage. Just how low is Diane going to stoop?Catherine couldn’t get the card in time, so she appeared annoyed. “I know you better than anyone else, so I’m not just lucky.”“Is that so?” Diane picked up the card. “This card is useless now, isn’t it? You came all the way here because you want to take this card from Denver, right? In the end, you’re also after his money, but he can’t see through your facade because Denver is innocent.”Catherine frowned in anger and disgust. “You’re right about one thing. Denver is innocent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put so much effort into pleasing you for the past two years, eve

Though Catherine didn’t believe the DNA report, the words ‘99 percent match’ took her thoughts for a mind-numbing loop.She felt her head spinning and ended up fainting.“Catherine!” Denver jumped out of the chopper so fast he ended up slipping on falling on his hands, but he quickly picked himself up and rushed toward her.Subrina immediately blocked Denver’s path. “Don’t even dare come near my youngest daughter!”“MOVE!” Denver roared, and Subrina’s heart nearly stopped.She froze completely from that lion-like roar.Denver pushed her aside and got to Catherine. He picked her upper body up. She didn’t suffer any physical injuries, but she wasn’t conscious, either. He tapped her cheeks. “Catherine, hey, wake up.”Diane didn’t like what she was seeing. “You are such a scum, Denver. You are the father to the baby in my belly, and yet you act like you care for my sister. You think she’ll keep believing your lies even after knowing that you cheated on her and lied to her all this while?”

Diane’s face turned ghostly pale. “N-No. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What diamond card? What money?”“We didn’t come here to argue with you, Diane,” Catherine didn’t even want to call this woman her sister anymore. “Whether you like it or not, we’ll take back what you have taken from Denver.”Catherine glanced at Denver.“Do it,” she said.Denver then made a phone call to Bianca. “You can transfer the money back to my account now.”“Give me a few seconds,” Bianca, the vice president of the Den bank, said, sounding as though she was thrilled to do it. “I’m going to make her cry tears of blood!”A few moments later, Bianca gave him the green signal. “It’s done.”“Thanks. I’ll talk to you later,” Denver said and ended the call.“You can check your account balance now, Diane,” Catherine said.Diane reluctantly took her mobile out and checked the balance. She was so shocked she dropped the mobile and moved back a few steps. “No! This isn’t real! It must be a dream! This can’t b

After twelve in the night.Diane tried to transfer money from Denver’s diamond card once more, but it didn’t work out.“It keeps saying the same thing that the card is temporarily blocked. Dammit. When is it going to get unblocked? I want to transfer more money so that I can become richer than Hollywood singers and movie stars! I can then even live with the celebrities.”Just then, she heard footsteps outside.She looked to her right.Subrina came home, but she wasn’t alone. Peter Mason was with her.“M-Mom, why is he…” Diane was visibly surprised. “Are you two…”Subrina held Peter’s hand and smiled, “We’ve decided to get married.”Diane’s eyes enlarged. “Whoa, what?”While Peter might be rich, he was known to not spend a penny on a cat or a dog, so why would Subrina want to marry such a man?Diane grabbed Peter’s hand and took him to the side and talked with her.“Are you okay in the head?” Diane hissed in a low voice. “How can you marry such a dangerous man? If you get sick in the f

A helicopter came down and landed in front of the motel, with more underlings of Denver getting out.Sheryl personally escorted both Denver and Catherine into the vehicle.“What about the innocent people that were killed?” Denver asked Sheryl.“We will compensate them with some money,” Sheryl was quick to reply as she swiftly removed the bullet from his palm. “However, your style is to make our enemies reap rewards for their deeds. Good or bad. But the problem is that we don’t know who the culprit behind these assassins is. They belong to your sixth brother Tyron, but Tyron could easily say that a few of his men acted on their own.”“I noticed that they had the gun and ax symbol,” Denver pointed out, staring at his bloody palm, frowning a little. “That’s what the officer also had when he tried to shoot me a few days back.”“An officer tried to shoot you?” Catherine was shocked. She was wrapping a bandage around his palm. “When?”“It was taken care of, Cat. Don’t worry.”Despite what D
