DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 159
“How could this be?” Troy wondered. The hacker began to swing his head from left to right. “No, I can’t get rid of it. This is very bad.”“You just need to remove the internet connection and turn off the computer right?” Said Benedict. Simon turned to Benedict with his eyes filled with disdain. “This will only allow me to be delayed from being tracked. If I don’t hurry up and hide my ID, the other party is going to track me here.” Immediately after Simon finished speaking, the entire computer screen turned white. While they all watched in astonishment, a few black words appeared on the screen. “FOUND YOU. ITS OVER” was the word smeared on the computer screen. Simon’s heart turned cold. *****Henry was seated in his car, drinking from a bottle of soda when his phone began to ring. He quickly picked up the phone because he had been waiting for a call from the Eye of Dark Knight but when he looked at his screen, he saw that they weren’t the ones calling him. “Hello, Uncle Nate.”“

Benedict knew that if he was one step late, Troy might sell him out. “Troy, I think I need to head to the bathroom,” Benedict said with his voice slightly shivering. “Okay.” Troy nodded. After Benedict walked out of the room, Troy plunged his hands into his pocket and turned to the door. He motioned to his bodyguards who had been standing by the door to come forward. The men made their way toward Troy. “Yes, sir.” They chorused after standing before him. “Go and keep an eye on Benedict,” Troy ordered. The men nodded in understanding and slipped out. A few minutes later, Simon was packing up and Jacob was wondering what to do with himself when the two bodyguards ran into the living room in a panic. “Sir, Benedict ran away.” One of them revealed. Troy was stunned for a moment. “Trash!” he groaned with veins popping on his forehead. He moved closer to the guards and began to vent. “How can you let him run away?”The other bodyguard who was trembling managed to speak. “It turns

Henry looked at Jacob. Guilt was hovering all over him and he couldn’t even look Henry in the eyes. “Is there something we should know?” Henry asked. After betraying his roommates, Henry was not expecting Jacob to just show up at the hotel with the rest. Jacob heaved a deep sigh. “I burned down the hotel.” He muttered under his breath but everyone heard him. “What?” Dalton screamed in disbelief.“Also, there was no 30 million dollars ransom. I lied.” Jacob confessed with his head lowered in shame.When Jacob summoned the courage to look up, everyone was staring at him with shock spread across their faces. “I didn’t intend to do all of it. It was Troy who made me do it. He caught Aida and threatened me. You can ask her. He kept her at his mansion in Springwood and then released her at the same time with Chelsea and the others.”Before Henry could say anything, Berry was already blabbering. “You betrayed Henry for your girlfriend? How dare you? You’re a son of a bitch.”Chelsea was

Henry turned to Jacob. “Just forget about it. You can leave.”Berry quickly turned around and shouted. “Wait, are you going to let him go just like that?”Jacob raised his head and looked at Henry with a shocked expression. He had not expected Henry to stop pursuing the matter. “Sir, think about it. You can’t let him go. What if he betrays you in the future?” Betty fired. “No. He won’t have the chance to betray me in the future.” Henry stated confidently. He then moved closer to Jacob and looked down at him. “Jacob, from today, our friendship has been dissolved. From today onwards, if you do anything that wrongs me, my friends or family then I will not let you off slightly.”Jacob sighed for the first time in relief. He was happy that Henry had chosen to spare him but he was also disappointed because he was going to be strangers with Henry in the future. “Thank you,” Jacob said repeatedly and stood up. “Since Henry does not want to pursue this matter then you shouldn’t be here.

“You guys can make whatever arrangements that suit you. We leave in five minutes.” Henry said indifferently.***About twenty minutes later, Henry and his crew pulled up in front of the venue. He brought Miss Rose, June, Betty, and Tiny Tim with him to meet Troy. Miss Rose had already contacted her people so by the time she arrived with Henry and the rest, her guards from the Eye of Dark Knight had already taken control of the building both inside and outside. The door to the building was pushed open by several bodyguards and Troy walked in. One of the guards leaned toward Troy and whispered. “Sir, the area is surrounded by guards from the Eye of Dark Knight.”Troy sighed. “As expected. She didn’t even waste any time to join Henry’s side. This means that she had the intention of working with him all this while and was just playing games with me.”At that point, Troy was glad that he had stopped attacking Henry, otherwise, he’d have suffered losses in the end because If Miss Rose cho

Henry sat up. “Benedict is such a small figure. How can he ask you to attack me?” He asked. Troy sighed. “To tell you the truth, the McDonald family has something to do with this. The McDonald family and I are acquaintances and after you ruined them, I was provoked. Benedict ran to my place to seek refuge when you were after him then he began to instigate me against you.”Henry waved his hand. “Benedict is very familiar with these kinds of things. However, you used my classmate to betray me and then you burned down my hotel. I must settle this matter with you properly.”Henry was not ready to reconcile with Troy. Troy had caused so much trouble for himself and could only be spared if he managed to get on Henry’s good side. “I’ll pay. I’ll pay for all the losses as far as Mr. Parker would let me go.” Troy stammered. “How much are you going to pay?” Henry fired back. “500 million. Do you think that can cover up for the losses?” Troy asked anxiously. “Do you take me for a fool?” Hen

“Mr. Parker, I would have wanted us to become friends but considering my actions, I’ll settle as an acquaintance. I hope our families can form a sort of bond. I don’t intend to cause any harm and I hope that my past transgressions are written off. I look forward to a bright future.” Troy said respectfully with a hopeful smile. Troy was being calculative. After suffering such a huge loss, it’ll be unreasonable if he doesn’t get to form a relationship with Henry so he wants to turn their conflict into some sort of agreement. “No problem. I’ve never been stingy with my people. We’ll see whether the Smith family can become one of us or not.” Henry said politely. Regarding Troy’s statement, Henry was being careful. Although the two of them had reconciled, it was far from the extent that they could work together. Henry does not trust Troy now but if Troy performs well in the future, it is not impossible to get him on his side. “Don’t worry Mr. Parker. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do

Henry gulped his third glass of wine and began to feel dizzy.Meanwhile, Aida and Courtney were at the party. They were invited by Dalton even though Berry didn’t want Aida to attend because of what Jacob did. The girls were speaking to some of their classmates at a corner when Aida looked at the counter. She saw the way Henry pressed his eyes against each other and was rubbing his forehead vigorously. She quickly tapped Courtney on the shoulder and Courtney immediately darted her attention to Henry. “He’s drunk!” Aida pointed out. “Our chance,” Courtney replied. The girls giggled and dashed toward Henry. “Can we sit?” Aida asked. Henry sighed. “I think I need a moment but you guys can sit.”The girls rushed toward the barstools Henry’s subordinates had earlier occupied and sat on them. Although Henry didn’t like them in the past, he had come to appreciate the two of them after spending some time with them. Apart from being slutty, Henry had come to realize that Courtney and Ai

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
Chapter 240
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
