“There’s a small town a few miles away from here. I saw the place on our way this morning. We can go there and see if we can get sanitary pads from some of their stores.” Henry replied.
“It’s barely 4 am boss. I’m not sure if those stores are open right now.” June hesitated.
Henry smiled. “When coming to a new location, ensure you know something about it. I’ve checked up on most of the towns around here before we embarked on this trip Luckily, the nearest one has a supermarket that operates 24 hours.”
“Okay,” June said.
Henry walked to the driver’s cabinet and discovered that the driver was fast asleep. He was snoring very loudly.
“I’ll do it,” June said.
Henry shook his head in disagreement. “Don’t worry. I’ll drive. I need you to head

It was not easy to come by a supermarket that was open at this time of the night especially when most of the things sold at the local market around was food.Henry moved closer to the counter and began to address the saleswoman who had ordered him out. “Are you the boss? What right do you have to stop me from buying something here?” He asked with an angry expression spread across his face. “You’re just a salesperson. Why are you being so arrogant?” Henry scolded her. “You freak!” The woman tightened her jaw. “Why should I let you buy something here?” She was now raising her voice. “You came to buy a sanitary pad in the middle of the night and you don’t want me to consider you a pervert?”Henry sighed. “How did I become a pervert?”The golden-haired wanted to respond but Henry shut her up with two fingers on his lips. He turned to face her. “What? Are you going to call me a pervert too? Well, I don’t blame you. No one has ever bought a sanitary pad for you. Not eve

You guys are just a bunch of migrant workers so there’s no point in pretending to be rich.”The older man’s face turned red because of what the saleswoman said.

Benedict had provoked Mathew’s hatred for Henry and had used him to carry out the task. This will prevent him from being directly involved in case there is a flaw in the plan. However, Benedict was positive that no one would suspect him or Mathew if the plan succeeded because Henry was deep in the mountains where there were no guards or security cameras. He looked at the Rolex on his left wrist and began searching for his phone. By now, Mathew ought to have carried out the plan and should have contacted him to report his success. Benedict reached his phone and tried to contact Mathew but the number wasn’t going through. He then decided to sleep for a while with the hope that Mathew’s phone call might wake him up. A few hours later, Benedict was awakened by several Knocks on his door. He pressed his eyes against each other and got out of bed. “Who is it?” he asked while rubbing his eyes with the back of his palms repeatedly. “It’s Sandy. Breakfast is getting cold.” She said from

He turned to Mr. Cross. “I don’t want to use the power of my family for the time being. After all, this is my grudge.” He looked through the window and smacked his lips. “Benedict isn’t worth wasting too much power on.”Mr. Cross nodded repeatedly. “I understand. I’ll have Benedict arrested right now and leave you to deal with him.”Henry was about to speak when Mr. Cross’s phone began to ring. “I’m sorry.” Mr. Criss mumbled and was about to reject the call when he realized that it wasn’t a call that should wait. “I need to pick this.”Henry acknowledged with a nod. The call was from the person he had assigned to monitor Benedict. Mr. Cross quickly responded to the call. “Hello, what’s wrong?”“President Cross, Benedict is gone.” The caller supplied. “What?

Nevertheless, if he wanted to use the family power to handle such a problem, they wouldn’t hesitate to help.Henry had a deep conviction that the family was aware of his plight and was behind the scenes, observing how he was going to handle the situation.

Miss Rose pushed the glass of wine toward Henry. “How can I accept your money? It is my honor to help you.”Henry drank a mouthful of wine and dropped the glass. “I can’t let you work for free. Otherwise, I can’t look for you in case I need your help in the future.”After hearing that Henry was going to look for her in the future, Miss Ross’s eyes lit up. She had always wanted to get to know Henry but she could not find an excuse. She looked away for a while and darted her gaze back to Henry. “Two hundred thousand then. That will be enough to pay my staff.” Miss Rose said and flipped her hair. Henry nodded and quickly turned toward June with a gesture. June slipped her hand inside her bag and pulled out two stacks of cash. She had separated them into a hundred dollars each.

Troy continued to stroke his ring. “I think Henry is such a smart guy but I believe that the city bank is the major culprit in the fall of the McDonald family. If they had given them that loan, Coral Group would have invested in other stocks.” He said. “The cause of everything is still Henry.” Benedict insisted. “If it wasn’t for Henry, the city bank wouldn’t have had the chance to figure out the financial state of the coral group and end up withdrawing the loan.”Benedict is bent on ensuring that Troy sees Henry as the culprit all through. The McDonald family had a close connection with Troy and Benedict was certain that by making Troy hate Henry, his revenge would be served because when Troy hates a person, he puts everything at his disposal to eliminate him. Troy nodded in agreement and said. “Indeed, the big fall of the McDonald family was due to Henry.”Benedict smiled. He was secretly delighted so he continued. “That’s right. Henry is very lawless.

As the plane touched down in York City, Henry took a deep breath, ready to take on whatever came next. A few hours after landing, Henry called Tammy.He had been thinking about the life they had together, and the thought of leaving her behind weighed heavily on his heart.He dialed her number, the ringing tone filling the quiet of his private office. “Hey, Tammy,” Henry said as soon as she picked up. “Henry! You finally got through. I’ve been trying to reach you for days,” Tammy replied, her voice filled with relief. “I know, I’m sorry. Things have been a bit chaotic since I arrived in York City,” Henry explained.“But I wanted to ask you something. I’d love for you to come here with me. You’ve been such an important part of my life, and I can’t imagine doing all this without you. What do you think?” There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Henry could almost feel her hesitating. “I… I don’t know, Henry,” Tammy finally said.“I’ve just started with the Dream Angel gr

One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Henry sat across from Tammy in his private study.The soft hum of the city outside the windows was the only sound that accompanied their silence. “Tammy,” Henry said, breaking the silence.“I know our lives are... complicated. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, I’m here. With you. Always.” Tammy’s heart fluttered at his words, her eyes softening as she gazed at him.“I know, Henry. And I’m here too. We’ll find a way to make this work. No matter how busy life gets, we’ll make time for each other. I promise.” Henry smiled, the tension in his shoulders easing. “I’m counting on you, Tammy.”The morning sun had just begun to rise over Marian City, casting a warm glow on the vast Parker empire.For years, Henry had poured his heart and soul into building his businesses, carefully cultivating them from the ground up.His family name had become synonymous with success, wealth, and influence, stretching across countless secto

He thought he had already lost his life.Henry chuckled a bit.“She never misses a target but because you are family, she was being merciful. Think about that before you dare to double cross me in the future, cousin.” Henry said in sinister.June smirked as she looked at his face.“All talk but you are not even brave? Huh? Control the business? In your dreams, Daniel.”Later that evening, as the dust settled and the formalities of the day came to an end,Henry sat alone in his study, reflecting on the day’s events.The battle for the Parker legacy had been won, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something more had shifted, something deeper. His phone buzzed, and Tammy’s name appeared on the screen.His heart skipped a beat as he answered. “Hey, Tammy,” he said, his voice soft, the exhaustion of the day lacing his words. “I heard the news,” Tammy said with a smile in her voice.“I mean, I saw it in the news. You did it. I knew you would.” Henry smiled, his fingers drumming on h

This time, he knew that Tammy wasn’t just offering her support because it was the right thing to do.She genuinely cared for him, and in that moment, Henry realized how much he had come to rely on her.She was more than a friend now.She was something… more.Something he wasn’t ready to put into words, but that he felt every time they spoke. “I really appreciate you, Tammy,” Henry said quietly, his voice thick with emotion. “You’ve become more important to me than I ever expected.” There was a pause, and then Tammy responded, her voice teasing yet soft.“You know, Henry, I’ve always been here, right? You just had to notice.” Henry chuckled, the sound surprisingly light despite the tension in the air.“I’m starting to notice.” As the day of the family meeting drew closer, Henry couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to make a move.One that would solidify his position not only as the rightful heir to the Parker empire but also as the leader of his own destiny.He knew that Danie

A long pause followed, and Henry found himself staring out of the window, the weight of the world still heavy on his shoulders.But Tammy’s words had lifted him, even if just a little.He hadn’t realized how much he needed to hear them, how much he needed someone to remind him that it wasn’t all on him. “I just feel like I’m stuck between two worlds,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.“The responsibilities of the empire, the family, and then… I don’t even know how to mourn properly. My grandfather meant so much to me.” Tammy’s voice was gentle, but there was a strength in it.“It’s okay to grieve, Henry. You don’t have to be strong all the time. It’s okay to take a moment for yourself, to feel everything that’s happening. It’s part of being human.” “I know,” Henry said, his voice thick with emotion.“But the pressure is constant. Daniel’s been… well, he’s been trying to undermine me, trying to take what’s mine. It feels like a battle on every front.” Tammy’s tone was

Unlike Henry, who had dedicated his life to running the family businesses,Daniel had focused on the socialite life, parties, charity galas, and public appearances.He had the charm and charisma that many people admired, but Henry had always suspected that his cousin was more interested in the title of heir than the responsibilities that came with it. “Henry,” Daniel said, his voice smooth,“I’m glad you’re here. It’s a tough time for all of us, but we must think about the future. Your grandfather always said that the Parker legacy should be passed on to someone with the right vision.”His eyes gleamed as he spoke, his hand casually resting on the back of a chair, as if he were already preparing to sit at the head of the table. Henry didn’t respond immediately.His gaze swept over the room.His uncle, clearly shaken, was trying to hold it together.While his father, though stoic, seemed to be lost in his thoughts.The family lawyer, Mr. Grant, was seated at the end of the table, wai

No more delays.” Henry said, his voice firm.That evening, at the event, Tammy and the Dream Angel girls were preparing for their prime-time performance.The anticipation in the air was palpable.The stage was bathed in golden light, and the sound of the orchestra tuning their instruments echoed throughout the venue.Tammy, dressed in a stunning silver gown, was going over her lines with Jessica, Sasha, and Elena. “Tammy, you’ve got this,” Jessica reassured her, adjusting Tammy’s dress.“Just remember, you’re the star tonight. Don’t hold back.” Tammy nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.The spotlight was about to b

Backstage, the girls were elated.“We did it!” Sasha exclaimed, her voice bubbling with joy. “You were amazing,” Elena added, beaming. Tammy looked around at the smiling faces of her teammates, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude.“We all did this together.” Chelsea and Berry couldn’t help but pull the girls into a group.“Yayyyy! We did it.”They all shouted for joy.Just the, Henry also walked“You were incredible,” he said, his tone sincere. Tammy smiled, her heart racing.“Thank you, Henry. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support.”As the night wore on, Henry’s attention shifted to another matter.From across the room, he saw a familiar face.One of the small business owners who had recently tried to undermine his power.It was Gregory West, the owner of a struggling chain of luxury resorts, and someone who had attempted to make a move against his companies by poaching some of Henry’s key executives.These days he had been having too many enemies trying to s

Meanwhile, Tammy and the Dream Angel group were preparing for the Harmony Gala.Though focused on their rehearsals, Tammy couldn’t help but notice Henry’s increasingly busy schedule.She admired how he managed his vast businesses, but she also worried about the pressure he must be under.She heard some of the staffs whispering somethings amongst themselves.“Mr. Parker is really incredible! Did you know he bought all the small businesses beside his hotel and still made them the managers?” one of them said.These employees were new and didn’t know that Henry is actually the direct heir of that “Parker” family with lots of power and health.Lenard and Lena chuckled as they heard them.“you guys, our boss’s power cannot be compared to anyone. He is from a powerful family.” Lenard said.“Yeah! he is very rich and has many businesses.
