DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 121
Back at the Star-Moon Hotel, June poured some wine into a glass and passed it to Henry. Henry was about to take the drink when his phone began to ring. June retreated the drink. Henry responded to the call. “Hello, Miss Rose.”Miss Rose’s voice on the phone sounded a bit hesitant. “Mr. Parker.” She called out. “Did you find Benedict?”Miss Rose was silent and Henry wondered why she seemed to be in a dilemma. On her part, Miss Rose didn’t know how to tell Henry what she had on her mind.”“Are you there?” Henry asked. Miss Rose cleared her throat loudly. “I’m here Mr. Parker. Do you want to catch Benedict?”Henry frowned. “This is not something you should ask.” He almost yelled at her. “Mr. Parker. You misunderstood me. I did not mean that.” Miss Rose said quickly. “Then what do you mean?” Henry retorted. “I’ve already confirmed Benedict’s exact location but I suggest that you let him go.” She replied. Henry flared up and his voice echoed with anger. “You what?”Was Miss Rose ask

Henry darted his gaze from June to Mr. Cross and said. “That’s our way of doing things in the Parker family.”Mr. Cross’s eyes lit up. Henry was on point. When he defeated the McDonald family, he didn’t use the strength of the family but instead, he used all the weaknesses of the McDonald family against them. That was what Henry meant by using the smallest strength to gain the greatest benefit. “Mr. Parker. I think I understand what you mean.” Mr. Cross said. Henry nodded with satisfaction. “Since Troy’s family dared to protect Benedict, then they must be prepared to take my blow.” Stated Henry. “And as for Benedict, I’ll let him live for a few more days.” He added. “Mr. Parker. Is there anything else I can do?” asked Mr. Cross. Henry hummed. “As the saying goes, know your enemy and know about your enemy. If we want to give Troy’s family a fatal blow then we need a lot of information. The eye of Dark Knight is no longer reliable so I’m going to establish my intelligence departmen

At this moment, Henry approached the pool with a smile. He stood before Steven with his hand stroking his jaw. “How is it going? Are you satisfied with our services?”The girls had taken a plate of shrimp from Steven’s tray and were devouring it on the camp bed they were sharing.The waitress who had been on standby made her way to Steven when she saw Henry. “Hello, chairman!” she greeted Henry with a bow.Henry waved his hand and signaled to her that she could go. She left.“We will get back to the water.” One of the girls said while making their way into the pool with one of Steven’s dishes. They also took his dessert. “I’ll join you guys shortly,” Steven said with a sheepish grin.“Seems like you’re having a lot of fun,” Henry said. He sat next to Steven. Steven turned around. “Where is Dala? I think I nee

The next morning when Henry woke up, the first thing he did after taking a shower was to go to Jean’s room. Jean was dressed and was having breakfast when he walked in.Since the school was on break and Benedict was no longer a big threat, Jean decided to leave the hotel. Henry personally drove her down to campus where she’d collect her stuff and go home for the break.After dropping Jean off, Henry decided to use the day to buy a house. Henry could stay in whichever part of the Star Moon hotel he wanted but he still felt that it was suitable if he had his own house.Meanwhile, June was seated in the back seat of the car and was engrossed with her phone.“June, which area do you think is suitable for me to get a house in this city?” Henry asked.As a professional guard, June’s suggestion would be the most appropriate.“Give me a second,” June said and began to punc

William saw Henry walking in with a beautiful woman. He assumed that they were the kind of customers who dropped into the clubhouse once in a while to have fun.He walked up to them and before Henry could open his mouth, William spoke.“If you’re here to play, you can check another clubhouse around the area.”Henry looked around and shook his head. “I’m not here to play.” He replied. He then faced William. “Are you the boss here? I heard that this place is up for sale so I came here to have a look.”William smiled. What he needed was more people who would look at the place and offer him a fair price compared to the 3 million dollars Mario was proposing.However, William never thought that such a young man like Henry would want to buy his clubhouse. One should not judge a book by its cover he thought.William cleared his throat loudly. “Yeah. I want to sell this pla

Mario saw that William was tempted and he immediately became furious. He had his eyes on the clubhouse for so long. This was a golden opportunity he wouldn’t want to let go of. The interior area was very large and all he needed was a little funds to gain profits from the clubhouse. Mario had William under his control. He never imagined that someone would intercept him, a young man for that matter. He had no plans of raising the price above the 3 million he was going to offer William and as far as Mario was concerned, Wiiam had no choice but to take it. “You don’t know the difference between life and death. You think 30 million is worth your life?” Mario yelled. He pointed a finger at William’s face. “Today, I’ll show you that money is not everything and sometimes, all you need are subordinates.”Mario was very angry that Henry had snatched the clubhouse from him. He turned to his brother who had been standing beside him like a rock all this while.“Where are my dogs?”Mario’s brothe

“William, how dare you?” Mario snapped. William turned around and shouted at Mario for the first time in his life. “Why wouldn’t I dare?”“Do you know the consequences of offending me?” Mario fired back even though his men lay helplessly at Henry’s feet. William laughed. He was no longer afraid of Mario. After he pays his debt, he’ll have 10 million dollars left and that will be his ticket to move to another city and start afresh. Mario could only bully him in Marylyn. Once he was out of the city, Mario was nothing. Henry was very annoyed with Mario for causing a scene. He shook his head and said. “Too noisy.”June slipped behind Henry and began to take steps toward Mario.Mario’s brother was just a man in a suit with no combat training. He ran out. Mario raised a shaky index finger in June’s direction. “What are you doing? I’m warning you not to dare come close to me.”June smiled coldly and continued walking toward Mario. He couldn’t help but panic. If June had beaten up his men

After Henry and June stepped out of the Hermes clubhouse, they took a taxi to Marylyn University.As he made his way toward his dormitory, Henry noticed a group of students hovering around his car. He was not surprised because that has been the norm since the day he drove the car to school. He wouldn’t blame the students. The vehicle was eye-catching. Some of them even go as far as leaning on the car to take pictures. Even though it was a holiday, the school was still filled with students who didn’t go home. Henry didn’t expect to meet such a lot of people in the dorm. As he made his way toward his room, several students stepped out of their rooms with eyes filled with enthusiasm. Others followed him to the door. Henry grabbed the doorknob and was about to get inside when someone called out to him. “Mr. Parker. I heard that Steven now works for you. Can I do the same?”It was Macros, one of Steven’s roommates. Henry sighed. “Mr. Parker!” another student shouted and started walk

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

Henry had no deep understanding of music or performances, but he recognized the value of shows for upcoming celebrities.Their popularity was growing rapidly.he decided to hold a show for them in his grand five-star hotelInviting important guests all around the cityHe did it before for the gala night.He could do it again. “They’ll have what they need. 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. Did you even know that he is also the owner of the Cloud Haven building and all the mining stations in Marian city?” Lena one of the trainers asked.The shoo
