A quick, vicious punch to Denver’s face.
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 had enough experience 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.
He thought would secure him a sure victory.
Because back kicks were so powerful.
However, Denver caught Stephen’s left foot thrusting toward him.
Instantly, he twisted it with such force.
Stephen’s whole body twisted!
He spun once, before he pathetically crashed on the floor.
Stephen cringed in pain because his ankle hurt.
He was very good at implementing his back kick, but it was countered so easily.
He lost a big chunk of his confidence.
“Stephen!”
Diane stooped down and checked his condition.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Denver, on the other hand, seemed surprised with himself.
He was surprised that he able to react the way he did.
He didn’t remember having such fighting skill.
Did Stephen’s punch set his muscle memory straight?
Seeing her precious Stephen in pain, Diane glared up at Denver, further slicing his heart with her needle-like gaze.
“How could you do this to him?”
“Diane, do you even realize what you’re saying now? What am I to you?”
Denver felt like crying from the swelling pain in his chest, but he controlled himself.
He was bleeding from the corner of his lip, but she didn’t show any concern about his well being;
However, she was visibly worried about Stephen’s sprained ankle.
“And who the hell is he? Is he more important to you than me—your fiance?”
Denver’s voice cracked in his throat.
“You…”
Stephen bore the pain and glared at Denver as he got up.
He could still fight if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to take that risk now.
“You’re going to pay dearly for this. Do you even know who I am? I’m the great—”
Denver angrily stepped toward Stephen.
Stephen didn’t have the confidence in fighting Denver anymore.
He kept stepping backward.
“W-Wait…”
Denver walked past Diane, keeping his focus solely on Stephen.
“I don’t care who you are. You ruined my marriage,”
The sound of his fist tightening was loud enough to send a shiver down Stephen’s spine.
“I won’t be satisfied even if I break all the bones in your body."
"Don’t think you’ll leave this house without paying for messing with my woman!”
BAM~~!!
Just then, Denver felt a sharp, stinging pain in the back of his head.
He slowly turned back, only to see Diane standing there, holding a broken table lamp.
It turned out that she had viciously smashed it on him.
The table lamp was custom-made by a designer.
It was far more expensive than what he could afford, but he still bought it for her
Because she liked it.
She told him, all the people who come into their house would be awed by seeing this table lamp first.
Now, as Denver felt blood leaking on the back of his head, he felt his breath turning heavy.
“D-Diane…”
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still couldn’t believe she would hit him like that.
He just didn’t know what to say.
His heart hurt just as much as his head did if not more.
The fact that she was still holding the table lamp raised wasn’t bad enough.
What hurt Denver even more was that he did not see the Diane he knew before.
There was no warmth or care in her face now.
Denver’s eyes teared up once again as his heart shook and felt squeezed from every angle.
He was hoping to spend the rest of his life with this woman.
But now, she cracked his skull and broke his heart to boot.
“Diane… put that thing down…”
Denver’s voice grew thicker, his eyes a placard of many emotions.
Diane, meanwhile, muttered under her breath.
“Why is he still standing?”
The sound of the lamp breaking made her think that he would definitely faint.
But he was still very much awake.
Denver took a step toward her and raised his hand to grab the lamp.
“L-Leave my house, Denver!”
Diane blurted and waved the lamp once again.
Denver’s hand froze in midair.
The broken lamp pierced his arm and made him bleed, but he stood there like a statue.
“Your… house?”
“Y-Yeah. Leave right now, or I’ll call the police for trespassing my property,”
Diane barked.
Denver’s face was filled with such pain his nose twitched.
Trespassing? In his own house?
He saved the money so they could buy this house.
Now, she was telling him to get out of his own house.
“Diane… didn’t you say you love me?”
Denver’s heart swelled with pain.
“You said I was the best thing that happened in your life.”
“Huh, you wish,”
Diane raised her voice some more, bringing out all the frustration.
All the frustration she had been keeping down in the depths of her heart.
“My dad’s the one who arranged the engagement without knowing my true intentions.”
“True intentions?”
“You can’t give me what I want,”
Diane coldly blurted.
“That’s a fact. You somehow managed to buy this house, but I’m sure you took loans here and there to buy this building.”
He didn’t buy the house with a loan, as he had sold his own ring away for it.
It was a ring with a special totem on it.
It had been worn on him since he was found.
“I bought this house FOR BOTH OF US, Diane,”
The veins in Denver’s throat stretched thin.
“So what? Just buying this one house already drained you.
"I want a nice car AND luxury clothes and many more.
"Can you buy me those?
"Do you have any penny left in your pockets?”
Her words cut through Denver’s heart, but she wasn’t done just yet.
“I hate living a poor life, and Stephen is someone who will make me experience that richness!"
"The richness you never could, nor you ever can,”
She spoke confidently.
“I don’t need someone like you in my life!”
“If I’m with you, a mediocre man, I’d get the mediocre disease as well."
"I’m calling our engagement off.”
Denver’s eyes broadened.
"By the way, this is not OUR damn house, it's MINE."
Diane dropped the table lamp, then removed her pre-engagement ring.
And threw it in Denver’s face.
"I don't want a nutjob like you in my house. Get the hell out of here, loser."

CHAPTER 385
Sheryl brought Jewel King Kelton and left him with Alex. “Take him to the basement of Rose Tower.”“You won’t get away with doing this,” Kelton spoke in a painful voice. His face was all swollen because of the thrashing he had received. “Mickey will surely make you regret harming me!”Sheryl punched him in the face again, expecting to knock him out.But Kelton was still conscious. “I will kill you with my own hands.”Alex quickly took Kelton away.“This pig sure has ridiculous durability,” Sheryl thought. “Why did Mickey send him here tonight? Was he planning on using Kelton as bait? Well, we’re going to make full use of Kelton.”Sheryl then went to talk to other guests.“If you want me to support you, you just have to do one thing, Mr. Denver,” Leander of the Shadow Consortium was talking with Denver in a polite tone, “give me your assistant.”“You mean Sheryl?” Denver frowned. “I won’t force her.”“You won’t force her? What kind of a boss are you?” Leander expressed unconcern toward
CHAPTER 384
Darrell and his daughter Bianca Gozard who worked for the Den bank were both looking at each other after Denver gave a brief speech about the main reason for calling everyone wasn’t just to celebrate the opening of the port but to join Denver’s family.“Dad, did he really say he’ll bring a two trillion dollar investment for our bank?” Bianca asked him. “Look at the people’s reactions, there’s not much positivity floating around here.”Darrell didn’t look happy, either. He had always maintained his distance from all the secret factions as he didn’t want to be targeted by any specific group. This was why the public didn’t even know much about him.So, Darrell didn’t like the idea of becoming a part of whatever family Denver was talking about building.Denver did not give a long speech, unlike how many expected. He did not even elaborate himself on the idea of the ‘family’ he talked about.After coming down from the stage, Catherine could see the people talking nonstop.“Are you giving t
CHAPTER 383
“Not a faction but a family?” Leander looked confused.“What exactly are you talking about?” Brian, a big billionaire who owned a famous toothpaste company, asked.“Are we all going to get intermarried or something?” Borg asked.“Hahaha!”Borg’s words made many people laugh.“In a faction, everybody works for the boss,” Denver replied calmly and confidently. “But in a family, everybody works for each other, with the head of the family guiding everyone in the right path.”“So, you are saying only you know what’s right or not?” Borg snorted. “Do we look like monkeys to you?”“I didn’t invite you, but you still came here,” Denver uttered. “However, if you keep talking nonsense, I will MAKE you leave.”“Hmph,” Borg smiled but said nothing afterward. He wanted to stay here and observe what exactly would happen.“Of all things, he’s talking about forming a family,” Leo let out hot air through his nose. “Isn’t everyone in Hawk Park his family? If he can’t even embrace his own family, how can
CHAPTER 382
Diane came and sat at the same table as Leo. Seeing him staring at his left hand, she asked, “Is everything okay?”“Yeah,” Leo replied and looked at Denver. (Why did he put his left hand forward? Is he left-handed?)He put aura into his eyes and soon realized that the aura around Denver’s right arm didn’t seem normal.“It seems his right arm is injured,” Leo muttered under his breath. “Holding an event like this with his condition is risky in itself. Is he that pressed for time?”“Tell me more about Denver,” Diane said.“Why?” Leo asked. “Are you interested in him?”“I just want to know about the one hosting this event,” Diane said. “He looks like he’s ex-military. Is he?”“I went to the military, but I don’t think he did,” Leo said. “If you want to join the military, I can get you in.”“W-What? I’m not 18.”“With my recommendation, even 50 year olds can get in,” Leo replied.“Huh!” Diane could only smile. “I think your dad can train me much better than the military can.”Even though
CHAPTER 381
Denver was talking with Madam Anatolia.“I see too many trees in this zone,” Anatolia warned him. “In case a fire breaks out, people will die from suffocation before they can even escape.”“Thanks for your advice, but they don’t easily burn,” Denver told her. “They are created by Green Fang.”“Oh,” Anatolia was pleasantly surprised. “I see.” She tapped the wooden stage underneath. “So, everything here was also…”Denver nodded. “Please sit wherever you are comfortable.”“Can I get some of your time after this event?” Anatolia quickly asked while grabbing his hands.He could feel that she was in a bit of desperation, so he reluctantly nodded. “I can’t guarantee it, but whenever I can make time, I will talk to you.”Anatolia put her visiting card in his hand and then went down the stage and sat at a nearby table.Just then, Denver saw a helicopter landing. He saw the symbol of an eagle on its tail. “He’s here, huh…”Denver stepped down from the stage, wanting to personally greet the curr
CHAPTER 380
A couple of hours earlier.Diane and Leo were in the chopper.It’s been a few minutes since she boarded, but he didn’t speak a word to her.“I heard you got cheated on by your lover,” Diane said. “Is that why you’re not talking to me?”Leo didn’t say anything and just played a zombie-shooting game on his tablet.“I got cheated on by my ex-fiance and my biological sister,” Diane added.Leo’s fingers stopped tapping the tablet, and he glanced at her, not minding that his character in the game was getting killed.“I thought he was my own, but I didn’t see the betrayal coming,” Diane smiled sadly. “My only wish was to find a good man and have kids, but it remained a wish. I no longer have the intention of loving or marrying anymore. I just want to earn some money and live a lavish life. Money helps buy most of the things in this world, after all.”“...What did you do to your ex-fiance and sister?” Leo asked.Diane’s mouth turned down. “What can I do? One is my lover, and the other is my s
