2024-11-08 09:12:01“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 incident in secret.
“Mr. Denver knows the password of the diamond card,” the manager openly stated. “If he stole it, how would he know the password?”
Stephen just grinned in return.
“That punk stole my entire purse. The password was also in the purse.”
The manager still looked hesitant.
“If you’re not going to make him hand over the card…” Stephen took his mobile out and smugly stated, “I’ll just call my men.”
He was planning on using his gang members to extract the password from Denver.
In response, the branch manager said he’d call the police.
Stephen continued to act arrogant.
“Do what you want,” he blurted.
He was confident in bribing the local authorities.
Stephen looked at Denver.
“Once my guys are here, they will beat you to a pulp, so just wait.”
Hearing those words, Diane wrapped her arm around Stephen’s arm.
Denver grimaced.
Diane never held his arm like that in public before.
She only did it in front of her dad, but now, she was holding Stephen’s arm in public.
Naturally, it hurt Denver’s soul.
“Denver, you should fall to Stephen’s feet and lick his boots!” Diane said aloud. “Then he might forgive you for stealing his card!”
Just then, a loud engine noise came from outside, startling everyone.
It was the noise of a bonafide sports car.
The manager quickly scuttled out to see who was causing such a blatant noise in front of the bank.
Many others followed him out, purely out of curiosity.
A thunder blue lamborghini aventador skidded and stopped near the entrance.
The manager as well as Denver simultaneously recognized the woman in the driver’s seat.
When Stephen saw the woman sitting in the car, his eyes were immediately filled with lust.
The dark-haired brunette looked so stunning and beautiful, she would easily pass for his dream girl.
He wanted to make her his woman!
“Aventador…”
Diane muttered under her breath, amazed by seeing a roofless car, a kind she had always dreamt to drive in one day.
“It’s gotta be worth over half a million.”
Her eyes eventually shifted to the brunette wearing goggles. Her red-lipstick went well with her shiny red dress. Her long dark hair resembled a silky waterfall.
While chewing gum, the brunette jumped out of the car instead of opening the door.
“Madam Sheryl…” the manager hurried over to greet her with a bright smile on his face.
But she pushed him aside and then went past Stephen, Diane, and Subrina and stopped in front of Denver.
She took her glasses off, revealing her dazzling green eyes.
There was a jungle glow in her eyes, which would naturally attract attention and positivity from others.
“I came here to talk with the manager about the diamond card, but I wasn’t expecting to see you here, Boss.”
She raised her hand and showed the seven-carat red rosy diamond ring on her left thumb.
Denver was surprised because it was his ring.
It was only after selling this ring for over a hundred thousand dollars, he was able to buy the house.
“That’s… H-How did it find it?”
“Just had our men search every store in the city,” she replied, taking out the ring and putting it on Denver’s finger, which widened Diane’s eyes.
“It seems the shopkeeper tricked you and bought it for a cheap price. This ring is worth millions.”
Diane’s eyes widened some more and popped out of her sockets.
After all, Diane had thrown her wedding ring in Denver’s face.
But now, a tall, rich woman who looked like a top model, put a ring on Denver’s finger in public.
This was quite hard for her to digest.
Subrina, on the other hand, couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
(That red diamond ring is worth millions? He always wore it, so I thought it was cheap!)
Her stomach turned sour.
As if all this wasn’t enough, Sheryl bent her head and kissed Denver’s hand, shocking many people that were there.
Gnashing her teeth, Diane immediately barked,
“Bitch, who the fuck are you? Did Denver hire you to pretend to be a rich woman by making entrance in a rented luxury car?”
Stephen, with his experience, felt like the chances of a stunner like Sheryl being a hooker was very low.
But he hoped that Diane’s words were true so he could have Sheryl for himself.
After all, if Sheryl was from a rich background, then how come he had never seen her before?
Still and all, he said, “I can give you a lot more than what he’s offered, so why don’t you come over to my side, cutie?”
Sheryl could hear them, but she didn’t even turn toward them.
Instead, she smiled at Denver.
“Boss, will you give me permission to dispose of this garbage?”

“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?

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

“If she wants, she will come visit you tomorrow,” Denver told her and then ended the call.Subrina couldn’t believe it. “D-Did he just hung up on me? How dare he… I must teach him a lesson.”“Don’t worry, Mom,” Diane, who was in the background, smiled. “I already took care of it. Both of them will be shocked when they see it.”“What did you do?”“You will know soon.”Subrina started to shake her head as she sat next to her daughter. “I don’t get it no matter how much I think about it. How can Catherine like that loser?”“She’s naive, that’s why.”“Haah,” Subrina could only sigh deeply. “We have to get her to change her mind.”Diane didn’t say anything but was just smiling.Meanwhile, Denver reached the hospital and paid the bill for both his and Catherine’s treatment using the card. He received a twenty percent discount because the Den bank was one of the shareholders of the Spring hospital.As they were going home, Catherine was watching him and smiling.“What?” Denver cluelessly as

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
