“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.
Denver was a bit anxious because he feared that she might take the bank card away. He didn’t want the card to be taken away right in front of Diane and others.
Sheryl 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?)
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.“D-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, but 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, causing them to run out of the bank’s premises.Stephen showed some resistance, but the guard did not spare Steph
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.One of the neighbors who was walking their dog, an adult brown rottweiler, in the middle of the day tried to chat with him, seeing that he stepped out of a luxury car, but Denver said he was busy right now. The dog, however, came to him and began to rub its body. He gave it a couple of pats. “I don’t have any food right now, Payne. Next time.” He told the dog and then quickly entered the house and was about to go upstairs in a hurry.“Denver, who broke the table lamp?” a voice reached his ears.He stopped and looked to his
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. Denver tried thr
Carrying four cement bags weighing 440 pounds in total, Denver climbed the linked ladder to get to the second floor of a building in progress.Today’s tasks included getting all the cement and sand bags on uprights on the upper floors, then he would get sixty bucks for a half-day’s work.As he skilfully put the bags down in a dry spot, he heard the distinct footsteps of a woman walking in high heels.Wearing a stylish purple dress with three-quarter sleeves, this brunette was stunning like morning sunshine with a lustrous face and contrasting dark hair. The jaws of other workers dropped when they saw her, who looked and swayed like a model. Why did someone like her donning a resplendent dress come to a construction site where cement was always in the air?From a distance, it felt like she was staring at Denver fixedly, her eyes growing wider with a positive vibration."Boss!"He heard she said to him in spite of the distance.Denver’s eyes also widened in response.“Watch out!”Becau
BAM~!It was a super-solid punch. Denver’s head twisted more than ninety degrees.“And who did you call a clown?” Stephen snorted, cracking his knuckles. “Know your place, big guy. You’re not someone who even deserves to be around a beauty like her. Just being big isn’t enough. You need class, too.”He was experienced enough in boxing, so even though Denver had a bigger build than him, he was confident in winning this fight.Denver turned his head back toward them when Diane put her hand on Stephen’s shoulder.Denver looked angrily and disappointedly at the woman who did something unimaginable to him.“Let me show you what real class looks like!” Stephen began to shuffle his feet like a boxer and got into his hunting stance.As Denver took a step forward, Stephen swiveled and crafted a powerful back kick, which he thought would secure him a sure victory because back kicks were so powerful.However, Denver caught Stephen’s left foot that was thrusting toward him and almost instantly tw
“I’m a nutjob, huh. Yeah, I was not able to see through you, so you can call me that,” Denver sadly smiled, picking the ring off the floor. It was a heart-shaped ring. Denver also had another such ring on his ring finger now.The pre-engagement rings were worth around 500 dollars, which was not at all a small amount of money for Denver.More than the monetary value, the emotional value these pre-engagements rings had in Denver’s mind was great. They were supposed to be treasured for life, yet how could Diane toss the ring away like it’s nothing?Did she really never love him? Not even like him?“Hmph, go and find a monkey to put that ring on,” Diane snorted and looked away.Denver did not speak afterward.As he was walking away, she went out of her way to say, “Oh, I forgot. You have nothing in your name. Even a beggar wouldn’t want to marry you now.”Denver did not talk back to them but just clenched his hands and just walked toward the main door, leaving behind a trail of blood drop
Just as the card was thrown in Denver’s face, Denver’s mother-in-law, Subrina, arrived at the bank in a taxi. She saw Denver quarreling with the assistant manager and the guard. She could even hear their voices. “Denver? What’s he doing here? That thick-headed bastard… is he fighting with the bank staff?” Just after she stepped out of the car, she received a phone call from Diane. She answered it.“He found out about Stephen, Mom,” Diane said with no regret or pain in her voice.Subrina’s eyes widened. “WHAT? H-How? When?”Diane explained everything quickly because Stephen was still in the house. “In the end, I kicked him out of the house. He might cause trouble, so we should be prepared.”“A-Alright. We’ll talk about it after I come home,” Subrina said and ended the call before heading toward the bank. It was her first time coming to this big private bank, so she put on excess makeup, making her resemble an old courtesan of sorts. She came and flaunted the check that Stephen had giv
“See him out with a stun baton!” Subrina’s voice was loud to irritate every ear out there.The manager regained his haughty demeanor and cast a sharp glance toward Subrina. That gaze alone warned her not to cause a scene anymore. “Do you want to be seen out with the stun baton?”Subrina stepped back twice in bewilderment.She could only grind her teeth and watch the manager take Denver to the VIP lounge on the first floor.“This way, ma’am,” the assistant manager, on the other hand, respectfully invited Subrina to his office. She kept cursing Denver as she went to the assistant’s room.The assistant manager gave a soft drink to Subrina which she liked. She didn’t thank him because she believed that she deserved it. And the drink helped her body cool down a little.The assistant manager tried to personally process the check, but when he checked the balance of the associated account, his expression stiffened for a second. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Subrina who was enjoyin
