“She finally figured it out.” Liam sneered. He moved closer to Jessica. “Of course, I won’t spare you today but I won’t also let go of these security guards for defying me.”“You’re so arrogant!” George yelled and rushed toward Liam in the blink of an eye. He grabbed Liam’s shoulders and shoved him against the wall. Blood started gushing out of Liam’s nose trills. Suddenly, Liam’s men rushed to attack George. Liam covered his nose with the back of his palm and staggered away from the wall. “You can forget about living today. Kill this man.” He yelled at his thugs. Some of the men moved to their truck and returned a few moments later with baseball bats. “Stop!” Someone shouted. Everyone turned around to look. It was Henry. “Mr. Smith. You are so strong.” Henry walked in front of Liam and said with a sneer. “It’s you!” Three people exclaimed at the same time. The statement was made by Liam, Julian, and George simultaneously.Neither of them had expected to meet Henry there. Seein

The bar manager had seen the way Liam trembled before Henry a while ago. He knew that he had met a more powerful man today. He walked up to Henry with a flattering smile.The bar manager then stretched out his hand to be acquainted with Henry but before he could even open his mouth to speak, June stepped in front of Henry and blocked him. She stared at the manager with contempt and folded her arms across her chest.“You’re not qualified to talk to Henry,” June said.The bar manager was stunned. He began to wonder whether June’s decision had to do with his actions. He had scolded George and the other security guards in front of Henry so Henry felt offended by him.The bar manager slowly withdrew his hand which had been lingering in the air. He quickly turned toward George and flashed a smile.“George. You know I care about you and the others but you can’t blame me for my actions. I was so a

Jessica was very beautiful and her singing was the more reason people troop into the bar. In fact, most of that bar’s turnover was brought by Jessica and now that she was out, the bar manager felt like he’d been beaten in a game.As the others turned around to leave, the bar manager rushed to Jessica and grabbed her hand. “All this was my fault. I apologize to you, Jessica. Please forgive me and come back. You’ve been here for so long. The bar is your home.”Jessica yanked her hand away from the grasp of the manager. “I’m just a singer. You can find another singer anywhere. And this is not my home. If it was, you would have had a second thought before sending me away with that man.”The bar manager’s heart skipped a beat. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his bare hands and looked at Jessica pleasingly. “Jessica, how about I double your salary?”The only way the bar manager coul

Henry wondered whether it was Betty’s dressing or temperament that made him assume she didn’t look like a soldier.The information showed that Betty had a resounding Nick name in the past. Betty’s Nick name was Goddess of death. It was said that which ever target she wanted to kill would die undoubtedly. She had never failed before. Other than the ferocious scar around her left eye, her entire personality depicted that of an ordinary housewife.Betty saw that Henry did not say anything for a while. She cleared her throat loudly and asked again. “Sir, do you want to buy any flowers?”“Betty, you’re a former member of the revolutionary force. Your nickname is Goddess of death. Later, you guys were betrayed by your employer and the revolutionary force was wiped out and you’re the only one who survived. Then, you quit your career and returned to Marylyn to run this flower shop.” Henry disclosed while

“You don’t have money right? Then I’ll smash your shop.” Mr. White shouted.Mr. White and his subordinates were the ones who gave loans to locals in that community. When a debtor exceeds his payday, Mr. White and his subordinates resolve to violence.“You want to destroy the shop? Trust me. If you hurt her, you can’t afford it.” Henry spat.Mr. White turned around and looked closely at Henry for the first time since he walked into the shop.Henry did not want to interfere with the matter in the first place but from the look of things, Mr. White and his subordinates were about to smash things around and he couldn’t bear to watch from the sidelines.“What did you say?” Mr. White asked Henry with an angry expression.Mr. White then studied Henry and darted his gaze to the stunning beauty beside Henry. He quickly realized that the car outside belonged to this customer

“The Parker family came to recruit someone with a low status as her?” Mr. White sneered. He pointed at Betty. “Let me tell you. I’m not letting you go so easily.” He said boldly. Mr. White felt that Henry’s instigation was the reason why Betty beat him and his men up. June walked up to Mr. White and kicked him on the leg barely after he had gotten up from the floor. “How dare you insult the Parker family? You deserve to die.” She said with an angry expression.When Mr. White looked at June, he was stunned by the cold expression on her face. Betty might have disfigured his fingers but the kick from June felt as if his leg was crushed. June reached her hand toward the metal shelf on her right. The metal shelf shook when she clenched it and it became distorted. June pulled out a straight pole from one of the cabinets of the distorted shelf. Everyone was stunned by what they saw. June flipped the iron bar and casually twisted it into a spiral form. She then stood before Mr. White and

To Henry, the loyalty of his subordinates was the most important thing. “Well, now that it’s settled, I’ll have your commander transferred to my hospital,” Henry said to Betty. Betty did not expect Henry to do things very quickly. Before she made any contributions or resumed work, Henry had already started to help her. “Thank you, sir,” Betty replied. She had now changed the way she addressed Henry, indicating that she had already become one of his subordinates.****In one of the wards of a local clinic, the former leader of the revolutionary force was confined to a room. He did not need any treatment now that he was in a vegetative state. What the old man needed was 24-hour care however, he was alone in the room.“This way,” Betty said and led Henry into the ward. When they got inside, Henry looked at the man and felt sorry for him. The man was in a corner, draped in blue sheets. He could not open his eyes and if not for the movement on his chest, one would assume that he was de

“May I know why they won’t pay you guys?” Henry asked.The young man shook his head. “These people think that we’re kids. They’ve been playing games with us. The construction company said that it’s the fault of the development company and the development company is saying that the construction company would be the one to settle us.” He began to yell at the top of his voice. “I’ve not gotten a single cent. Do they think it’s easy for workers to come across money like them? All they do is drive luxury cars into hotels and party all day long. Even if they spend tens of thousands of dollars, they won’t feel it. “Why are you guys blocking the door? Do you want to work or cause more trouble? You guys should all get lost. Don’t even think of getting a penny.” An arrogant voice thundered from the gate. When Henry turned around, he was stunned by the person he saw. The statement was made by Troy who was smartly dressed in a black tuxedo and was standing at the gate. The Lions residence was

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
