The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 32
In Diane’s house.“You’re kidding, right?” Diane was also taken aback. “What do you mean I’m pregnant?”What sort of news is this right after she woke up after having a tough day twice in a row?“There’s no way this can be true…” Diane was lost in thought. It was evident from the shock on her face that she was not at all planning on getting pregnant. Who would even plan for such a thing before marriage unless they were utterly foolish or had some bad intentions?Subrina looked even more upset and horrified right now. If others were to learn that Diane was pregnant, what would happen to her family image?“Mom, do you really think I’m pregnant?” Diane’s forehead was growing in stress marks. Her voice contained nervousness.Subrina just kept staring at her daughter in shock.“Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re making me nervous,” Diane said. She had a relatively decent image in society, so the fact that she got pregnant before marriage will ruin her life. “What should I do now? Should
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 33
Denver quickly took the child to the hospital, and the doctors told Denver that the kid was poisoned with a powerful toxin, for which they weren’t confident in treating the kid.Denver was sure that he breathed the toxins, but he was fine.So he told the doctor, “My blood is AB negative. Transfer my platelets and plasma to him. That should help him.”“How will that help him?” The doctor refused him without hesitation. “It won’t.”“Just do it,” Denver glared at the doctor. “If the child dies because you were late, I don’t know what I’ll do to you!”The doctor nearly shit in his pants. “I-I’ll do it!”He speedily arranged the process and transferred Denver’s plasma and platelets to the kid, and then to the doctor’s astonishment, the kid’s condition was improving fast. He opened his eyes within a few minutes.Denver told everyone to go outside and then asked the kid, “Who gave you the soft drink bottle?”“One uncle gave it to me,” the kid replied in a weak voice. “I couldn’t open it. I as

“That fucker acted like a sheep, but he’s a fucking wolf,” Subrina growled as she got up to her feet. “As soon as your dad died, he started his plan. He made your sister pregnant, and now, he’s after you.” She poked her finger into her daughter’s chest. “Don’t fall for his tricks!”“M-Mom, what the hell are you saying?” Catherine raised her voice. She was loud, so she controlled herself and opened the door.Both the mother and the daughter entered the flat. Catherine shut the door and tossed her bag aside.“Let’s assume that Diane is pregnant,” Catherine said, putting her hands on her waist. “She’s fucking Stephen, and who knows how many other men? So how the hell did you come to the conclusion that Denver is the dad?”“Because Denver is also among those men, and she gave me his name,” Subrina said calmly but firmly as if she didn’t doubt it at all. “You should know how much Diane looks down on Denver. There’s no strong reason for her to say that Denver is the dad.”“Maybe she wants t
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 35
The sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon as Denver was driving the old Volkswagen down the bustling city street.He had taken the injured kid to his home. The parents blamed Denver after he explained the incident. Denver asked for an apology and then left some money at their door without them knowing.Now, he called Sheryl’s mobile. This time, it rang, but she didn’t pick it up.Moments later, he received a text message: My mission got extended. I’ll be there soon, so please wait patiently. Love you, Boss.“What mission is it?” Denver sent a text message back.“Can’t tell you. Sorry,” she replied.“Huh, am I not your boss?”“Haha. Good try. But please don’t disturb me. I’m on a jet that’s on a ship right now. That’s all I can tell you. Bye.”“A plane on a ship?” Denver was confused. “Is she on some kind of a war ship or something? What exactly is her job?“Someone tried to poison me,” Denver sent a message.“Poisons shouldn’t work on you, so why are you worried?” she asked b
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 36
The birthday party of the six-year-old Terry Clarke was being celebrated grandly at the Stellar Convention, where they would charge anywhere from 250,000 dollars to 2 million dollars depending on the number of guests and the event.Because this was a prestigious birthday party where big guests from all around the city would be visiting, Sage Clarke paid a million dollars for the event.Bianca was waiting outside the convention, standing next to her luxury blue Audi sedan. Many guests who were arriving there couldn’t help but notice this tall woman dressed in red clothing. She looked like an angel.The women had to remind their men to not look at her. She was such a stunning beauty with her golden brown hair and a polished white look of someone who doesn’t spend much time under the sun.“He’s late,” Bianca looked at her platinum watch worth 150 grand. “He better not make a fool out of me by skipping this party. After what I’ve done for him… Mm?” Just then, she noticed an old red car in

“A cheap man will only know how to give cheap gifts,” Diane snorted, flaunting her dazzling yellow dress that caught people’s attention. “Let me show you what a real gift looks like.”She handed a gift box which was bigger than Denver’s.Terry didn’t care about Diane’s insults toward Denver. He only cared about the gift box, so he hurriedly opened it.However, he found a small box inside. He opened the small box, and there was a key inside.“What’s this key for?” Terry asked her.Diane looked at Stephen who snapped his fingers. Two workers brought a mini car into the hall.“It can go up to 25 kilometers per hour, and it runs on battery, so you can just recharge it,” Diane said. “It cost just 20,000 dollars.”Sage was clearly impressed by the gift. He looked at Stephen. “Did your dad send this?”Stephen glanced at Diane. “She picked this gift.”“Oh…” Sage’s gaze shifted to Diane. “May I know your name, Miss?”“Diane Palmer,” she replied and shook Sage’s hand. “My father used to work in
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 38
Diane didn’t give any extra details or explanation about what exactly led to Richard’s death, and she walked away with Stephen.Sage couldn’t help but wonder, “Is he not a trustworthy person then?” he was beginning to wonder if he shouldn’t have actively started working on Denver’s project. “Moving forward, I should be more careful with him.”“What did he do to your father?” Stephen asked Diane.“I’d rather not talk about it right now,” Diane replied.Stephen could see anger in her face. (There’s something that happened between them which I didn’t know of. No wonder she cheated on him, huh. I guess she’s not like the other bitches I hang around with. She’s smart and worth hanging around.)Diane, on the other hand, took her mobile out. She started sending text messages to her sister.“What are you doing, Catty?” Diane asked, but there was no reply. “Do you want to know what your man is doing right now? He came to a party. A rich man’s party, so why didn’t he bring you along?”Catherine
The Return of Don Denver CHAPTER 39
Denver came to the side to talk with Catherine privately. “What do you mean she’s pregnant?”“It means what I said,” Catherine replied fast. “And she’s claiming that you’re the dad.”Denver felt a chill crawling throughout his body. “Whoa, whoa, that’s crazy. Did she really say that?”“My mom even came to my flat, and she fumed over the issue,” Catherine said. “If you were here at that time, she would have hit you.”Denver’s heart started racing. “C-Catherine, you don’t believe Diane’s words, do you?”“I didn’t believe her, but after seeing these pictures, I’m feeling doubtful!” Catherine didn’t hesitate to speak these words. “Instead of taking me to the party, why did you go with some other lady? And you’re even holding hands. That makes no sense to me.”“I will explain everything to you once I get home,” Denver said.“Are you the father or not?” Catherine asked bluntly.“Of course, I’m not the father,” Denver quickly responded. “I didn’t even kiss her once, so how can I be the father

“W~H~A~T?!” Catherine was shocked she shrieked before she knew it.The man sitting in the front row was one of Denver’s brothers?As the attention of some bidders shifted to Catherine, Denver responded quickly by raising his number tag. “10 billion 1 million dollars.”“Number tag 63 bids 10 billion 1 million dollars,” Bald Falcon looked decently surprised because he didn’t expect the person next to Sheryl to challenge Tyron.It was one thing if Sheryl challenged him, but for some random guy sitting next to her to do it, this was quite surprising and thrilling.As a result, the attention of many people shifted to Denver.“Who is he?”“He has two girls sitting beside him. He must be a rich guy.”“No shit. He wouldn’t have outbid that amount if he wasn’t stinking rich.”As people kept talking, Ilene glanced over her shoulder and looked at Denver. “That build…” a corner of her lips slightly curled down, “is it him? But that voice just now didn’t feel familiar.”The fact that this man with

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
CHAPTER 128
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
CHAPTER 127
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
CHAPTER 126
“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
CHAPTER 125
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
CHAPTER 124
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?”
CHAPTER 123
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
CHAPTER 122
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
