Henry made him into the bus while George and his brother watched with astonishing eyes. After getting inside, Henry slammed the door and traced his way to the upper level of the car. Jean was lying on the bed with a worried expression on her face. Henry had taken a lot of time since the car came to a halt and she was starting to panic. When Henry walked into the bedroom, Jean smiled and sat up.Henry dropped the shopping bag beside her on the bed. “I bought the sanitary pad and also got some traditional tea condiments for you.”The corners of Jean’s mouth stretched with a smile.“Why don’t you take a hot shower? I’ll go downstairs and fix the tea for you.” Said Henry. He grabbed the shopping bag containing the tea mixtures and stepped out. Jean took the sanitary pad out of the shopping bag and pressed it to her chest with a smile. She also saw the bag containing the heat pad. She had been touched by Henry’s consideration. Her stomach was on fire a while ago but when she remembered
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
As the heir of the Parker family, Henry had been tricked by Benedict time and time again. Right now, Henry feels that leaving Benedict to live a second longer is an insult to him. 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? He’s gone?” Mr. Cross yelled in disbelief. “Wh
Henry knew that the Parker family was very strict with the children of the family. However, he still held onto a personal grudge because he was mad at the family tradition that exiled him for six years to pick up trash at Marylyn. 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. He was certain that if he used the family’s power at this point, their evaluation of him would be placed at a lower scale which would affect his fight for the family’s inheritance in the future.There were moments when Henry felt like giving up on the inheritance of the family to live an ordinary life but there were some things that he could not control.The branches of Henry’s family were waiting for him to gain power and bring them benefits. If He
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. She shoved the money toward Henry who ended up pushing it over to Miss Rose. Miss Rose grabbed the bundles with a smile. “How long do you need?” Henry asked. “It depends on where he’s hiding.” Miss Rose repli
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. You must not let him go afte
Steven had never seen such a big scene like the Star Moon Hotel where beautiful girls were everywhere. Henry smiled and shook his head.Henry then pointed to a desktop on the table. “Look over there. I secured a computer. I want you to look at it and see whether the configuration is okay.”It was the first time since he walked into the room that Steven was seeing the computer. He dropped his bag next to Henry on the bed and when he saw the huge monitor on the table, the beauties he had seen faded from his mind.Steven took a gracious step toward the computer and when he got to the table, he turned to Henry with stars in his eyes.“Where did you get this from?”Henry said noting.Steven switched on the CPU with astonishment and began to survey the computer. He turned to Henry. “The parts of this computer are not things you can get in any local market.”Henry nodded. The Comput
Less than twenty minutes later, Steven let out a breath. Henry and Mr. Cross moved closer and towered above him.“I’m in. Now I can check the surveillance footage of the entire city of Marilyn.” Steven supplied.They watched Steven adjust the time and location of the surveillance footage. The screen changed and was now a replay of the video captured by the surveillance camera in Benedict’s house.Henry focused his attention on the screen. He saw Benedict step out of the house and then walk up to a car.“This is it. This was how he left. You need to slow down the video.” Henry cried out to Steven.Steven slowed the video.Henry knew that if he could see the plate number of the vehicle that picked up Benedict from the house, then they could easily track it.Steven zoomed the plate number and Mr. Cross quickly copied it.“I’ll look for it online on the plate number registration website,” Mr. Cross said and quickly punched the plate number into his phone. About a minute later, he sighed i
Micheal flipped the card and turned to Henry and Kelvin with disbelief in his eyes. He felt as if he was living in a dreamland.How did Henry, a trash collector buy a car worth a million dollars? Wondered Micheal. He looked intensely at Henry again and concluded that he had underestimated the value of Henry’s clothes and cologne. If he had imagined that Henry’s life turned better, it was now evident that it changed for the better.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stretched his hand toward Micheal. “My card, please.”Micheal passed the card to Henry with a trembling hand. He was tempted to ask Henry where he got so much money from. Throughout his years of working at the car shop, Micheal had barely saved 50,000 dollars so he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of job Henry had in Marylyn.Originally, Micheal felt a sense of superiority before Henry but now that the transaction was complete, the sense of superiority instantly became that of inferiority.Micheal’s heart was instantly f
Greenville was a small town and the occupants knew each other so news about the demolition was now an agenda in the town.Henry nodded and said nothing.Micheal concluded that Henry was very worried about the matter that’s why he couldn’t even comment on it.“Don’t be anxious.” Micheal started the comfort Henry. “Didn’t people on the old street go to confront the developers? Be positive. I’m sure that there’ll be changes.”Henry nodded again. “It’s just about time. Everything will be fixed once the ownership of the Holiday real estate company changes hands.”Micheal looked at Henry with a quirked brow. His confusion was growing. Were the developers planning to sell their company? Micheal could not imagine that. Everyone knew Ryan Holiday as a big sky that could cover the entire town with his glory and the company was his fortress.Henry saw Micheal looking at him with a blank expression so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Why don’t we look at the cars first?”“Right!” Michea
Kelvin and Henry finally settled for a business car which was spacious enough to accommodate twenty passengers. “Let’s go and get it,” Henry said and stood up. Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you mean right now?”“Don’t worry about the urgency,” Henry replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen and instructed Hailey to look after the children then he went to meet Kelvin by the door. There was only one car shop in the entire city. So instead of going in his car, Henry requested that they walk to the spot. “It’s a way of exercising.” He had said. As they made their way toward the car store, Henry looked at the old street carefully. The more he studied the area, the more he realized that it was tearing into pieces and the environment felt odd for him. He had three years’ worth of memory there and he couldn’t help but imagine how the neighbors who were forced out of the area felt despite being attached to the place all their lives. “You bought all the houses. What are you going to
Chapter 192The other men opened their eyes and when they saw Betty and Tiny Tim in the room, they began to tremble with fear. They were so scared that they wet themselves on the bed. Henry had already explained to Betty and Tiny Tim their role at the hospital. Kyiv was so scared that his whole body was trembling. The sight of Betty and Tiny Tim in the room instantly gave him post-traumatic stress disorder. It was barely two days after their last encounter. Betty giggled and moved closer to Kyiv. “I’m not here to teach you a lesson. Our employer ordered us to come here because he had something to tell you.”After hearing that they weren’t there to finish him off as he expected, Kyiv heaved several sighs of relief. “Go ahead!” He said. Betty folded her arms across her chest and began. “My employer sends his sympathy. We heard that Ryan Holiday abandoned you guys. Although you guys offended my employer’s family in the past, he had always been clear about his intentions. Your boss ha
In the future, Henry was going to return to his biological family and by that time, he’d be further away from his Greenville family so he needed to empower them as soon as he could. As long as he could support Kelvin to take charge of the family, Henry knew that he could be anywhere and his mind would be at ease. The Holiday Real Estate Company was considered a top company in Greenville. If Kelvin controls such a company, ordinary people would not be able to offend him hence the Potter family would remain safe so that’s why Henry wanted to secure the spot. After Kelvin agreed, Henry turned to Betty. “You know what to do.”Betty stood up and cleaned her hands with a napkin. “Yes sir.” She nodded and left. ***The entire Holiday real estate company was in a mess. Even though the people at the old street were gone, Ryan had stationed guards around the company because the people might return at any time. All the employees were forced to sleep over at work that night. Even though it wa
When Henry woke up the next day, he was greeted by the events that took place at the Holiday real estate site. According to Kelvin, the neighbors on the old street who protested had an intense conflict with the employers of the company. Although Ryan had threatened the photographers and reporters from taking multimedia clips of the situation, the people did their job and as it stands, everything that was captured had been uploaded on the internet. “Look!” Kelvin said and passed his phone to Henry.When Henry watched the video, he broke into an intense laughter. There was no denying that the conflict was a heated one. These were the same people who had hidden in the past but now, every one of them was as powerful as a mad tiger; all thanks to the 2 million dollars Henry had promised each of them. In the video, Henry saw how the people roared and shook the gates violently. The employees of the company could not stop them at all. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the protesters pushed t
After the people were gone, Kelvin turned to Henry. “I agree with what you’ve done. It will be difficult for them to reverse the agreement but they can go ahead and try. These people are very hateful. Where were they when we were fighting the developers? Now they finally dare to fight back because of the 2 million they could get?” Kelvin spat and shook his head with contempt. Henry smiled and turned to the children. “Come, let’s get inside.”Kelvin and Hailey led everyone into the house. Although Mr. Potter’s house was in a bad state, the area of the house was not small. There were cracks on the wall and the paintings had faded but there was enough space for the children to sleep and play around. Kelvin took the children to their rooms to make their beds and do their morning chores which they couldn’t do earlier due to the excitement of having breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Hailey noticed the way Henry was surveying the living room. She walked up to him. “The place is old and sma
Kyiv was the most disappointed among the group. He had served Ryan Holiday for so many years and he had been working extra hard to prove himself. It was the demolition; a project handed over to him by Ryan himself that made him crippled but Ryan didn’t just refuse to pay for his treatment. He also dumped him. Kyiv shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Ryan, I curse you and all your generations to come.” He screamed out of despair.***Henry and the children were done having breakfast. They were now on their way back to their home on the old street. When the cars pulled toward the house, Henry and the others saw a large group of people blocking the entrance. As they drove closer to the house, June turned to Henry. “I don’t know what these people are looking for so we should avoid them.”Henry pulled down the reflectors and looked closely at the group. He turned to June with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. They are all neighbors of the old street.”The cars finally came to a halt an
After getting his teeth extracted, Ryan had an artificial one placed back there and immediately after he walked out of the clinic, he reached out for his phone and placed a call to his favorite subordinate.“Kyiv, where are you now!” Ryan yelled over the phone after his call was responded to. Kyiv was Ryan’s most loyal and capable subordinate. With the help of Kyiv, Ryan was able to achieve a lot of operations not worthy of mentioning. Kyiv sighed over the phone. “I need you to get your ass over here!” Ryan went on yelling. “I have a job for you.” As far as Ryan was concerned, only a man like Kyiv could handle Henry. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s voice was calm. “I’m in an emergency room at the hospital right now.” He replied and groaned afterward. Ryan was surprised when he heard Kyiv moaning over the phone in pain. “Which hospital is that and why are you in an emergency room in the first place ?” Ryan asked. “The community dispensary on Barett Street,” Kyiv responded. Ryan immediately h
