Seeing that Henry was not ready to pay any attention to them, the two girls resigned from their flirting and made their way back to their seats. Berry and the rest were still immersed in the party. “Sir!” someone called out to Henry. He quickly turned around. It was Miss Rose. She walked up to him. “Do you want me to assign someone to investigate Lanster?”Henry shook his head. “I don’t think he’s a threat. Lanster is just a playboy with no control.”“If you say so.” Miss Rose replied after a sigh. “Is there no news from Benedict?” Henry asked. Miss Rose shook her head. “There’s no news on him yet,”Henry sighed. “It’s all my fault. It’s my lack of competence. I’m sorry. Troy is also looking for Benedict and he hasn’t found anything on him yet. Do you think that Benedict is out of the city?” Miss Rose said. Henry sneered. “This kid is quite capable of escaping things.”“Do you want to pressure the Red family and force them to bring Benedict out?” Miss Rose asked. Henry thought f

Henry was not interested in the entertainment industry but Berry was keen. “I’m interested in becoming a celebrity. Why don’t you take me under your wings and nurture my talent then you treat me as you wish as long as I’ll get to be famous.” Said Berry. Henry sighed. “I’m damn serious Henry. We could open an entertainment company and then I’ll be the CEO since I don’t have any talents but I can manage others. All you have to do is fund the company and I guarantee that Aida and Courtney will become the most popular celebrities in Marylyn.”Dalton smacked Berry on the left shoulder. “Forget it. How can someone like you make another person famous?”“How about we open a gaming industry then?” asked Berry with a wide grin. Dalton smacked him again. “Shut up with your weird ideas. What if you end up losing Henry’s money? Aida and Courtney’s eyes lit up after hearing what Berry said. If they might not be able to handle it then they might be able to get it done through Berry since his re

Even though he was going to be sharing power with Dalton, Berry was not bothered. He walked up to Dalton with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. “I know you’re wondering how this is going to work but don’t worry, we’ll figure this out when the time comes, and don’t forget, you’ve got me to deal with,” Berry said.Dalton smiled. Henry looked at everyone and then asked. “Are there any questions?”No one spoke. They all seemed excited and couldn’t stop blabbering about their new roles. Currently, the company has been mentally organized by Henry from top to bottom. The leader of operations was Chelsea. Jean will handle image design and directing while Berry and Dalton will be executive directors. Henry also had two prospective artists which were Aida and Courtney. Even though the company was made up of a few people who were mostly leaders rather than employees, Henry believed that this was just the beginning and that things were going to be different in the future. Henry also be

Henry’s phone began to ring. He moved to a corner, away from the voice, and responded to the call. Henry was surprised when he saw the number. “Hello, Kelvin.”“Henry, Mr. Potter is dying.” The caller supplied in a troubled tone. “What happened? Mr. Potter has always been healthy.” Henry replied. The caller sighed. “Mr. Potter is suffering from a heart attack. The location of his building was chosen by a developer who wanted to tear down the area and rebuild a factory. Mr. Potter disagreed but the developer used other means to achieve his aim and that was what led to Mr. Potter’s attack.”“How is he feeling now? What are the doctors saying?” Henry asked with concern in his voice. “I don’t know how to explain. You know I’m not educated so it’s difficult for me to communicate with the doctors. I just wanted to ask when you’ll be able to come.” Kelvin said. He wanted to say other things but he hesitated. Henry sighed. “I understand. I’ll go there as soon as possible.” He said and hu

“Yes.” June nodded and quickly pulled out her phone to reach Mr. Cross. Betty and the others were surprised about the fact that Greenville had no landing space. Even though it was a small town, it had a vast area that could be developed but that was a question only the government could respond to. “I want the highway cleared and a landing space created before we arrive,” Henry told June. She nodded again and relayed the information to Mr. Cross. After that, Henry and the others boarded the plane. A private plane was set aside for them immediately after Mr. Cross contacted the airport. The planes that were supposed to take off remained still for Henry’s private plane to take off. The managing director of the airport had no idea who Henry was and why Mr. Cross wanted an emergency plane set for him but he could tell that Henry was a very powerful person. After Henry’s plane took off, the pilots on standby were set to take off. They couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot. “Sir,

Henry sighed and turned to Kelvin. “What did the doctor say?”Kelvin was about to respond when Mr. Potter’s weak voice was heard. “Henry, is that you?”Henry and Kelvin immediately turned around. Mr. Potter had opened his eyes and was now struggling to sit up. Henry rushed to his aid.“I’m fine.” Mr. Potter said with a weak smile after seeing the concerned look on Henry’s face.Henry watched Mr. Potter closely. The man had aged rapidly in the last three years. His eyes had developed bags underneath. His lips looked dried and he had lost a lost of weight. Also, his hair was as white as snow. Henry could tell that Mr. Potter was trying to pretend that he was fit when it was clear that he was struggling.Soon, tears began to well up in Henry’s eyes. He clung to Mr. Potter’s arm. “I’m back.”“Yes.” Kelvin acknowledged with a nod.&nbs

After the door closed, Dr. Rita narrowed her gaze to the bundle of stacked cash placed inside the suitcase. She roughly counted the money and realized the total sum of 2 million dollars.Dr. Rita was so stunned that she was already gasping for breath. In a small town like Greenville, two million was enough to secure a big house. She immediately slammed the suitcase shut and yanked it from the table.As far as Dr.Rita was concerned, Mr. Potter was just a poor and helpless old man who relied on collecting trash and selling scraps his entire life so where did such a rich child come from?Dr. Rita was restless. She placed her hands on his hips and pressed her lips into a thin line. The imposing manners Henry had just displayed in her office was not something an ordinary person could have. She was now looking at the suitcase with her eyes feel of fear. Her heart was pounding very hard in her chest. She felt that she had already done her duty so she couldn

It was evident that Mr. Potter was awakened by the commotion outside the door. The old man had a worried expression on his face and Henry knew that the look was borne out of concern. Mr. Potter was worried over the fact that Henry might get into trouble.Henry reached Mr. Potter and sat beside him on the bed. He then looked down at him with a warm smile. “Mr. Potter, I am successful so it’s time to repay you. Your illness can not be treated here but that’s nothing to worry about. I’ve already contacted the best hospital and made arrangements. You’ll stay there until you’re treated.”Mr. Potter sighed. “Henry. You don’t have to make the matter look simple. I already know that I have stomach cancer and it’s in the late stage so don’t waste your little money on me.”“Mr. Potter. Money is not important to me now. I just want you to be alive and remember, I haven’t fulfilled my

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
