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
After 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-billio
“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
