DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 18
Dr. Derrick took his head into his hands, acting like he was feeling dizzy. “Did you say 10 million?”Over the years as a doctor, Derrick had met various patient relatives. Some people sold their properties to raise the needed hospital bills and some had to take loans and ended up bankrupt but no one could give out 10 million at once. After concluding that Henry was playing games with him, Dr. Derrick fell back on his chair. He looked up at Henry. “You got so much nerve. You think 10 million is a piece of cake and even if you bring 100 million, it will change nothing. He still can’t stay here.”Henry faced Dr. Derrick. “What are you talking about? Is the hospital full or what?”“And what if I say it’s full.” Retorted Dr. Derrick. He seemed irritated. “Well, he’s already here so there has to be some space,” Henry replied. Stacey palmed her head. It was all too much for her. “The hospital is full. All the wards are taken that’s why he was transferred to the treatment room, the only

“You know what? You should be an actor. You’re very good at this.” Dr. Derrick said after having a good laugh. “You want to buy the best hospital in Marylyn City. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much this hospital is worth?”“Give me half an hour,” Henry said confidently. “Oh really?” Dr. Derrick fired back. “You want to buy the hospital in half an hour now?” he laughed and threw his hands around his head. “Unbelievable!”Henry looked down at Dr. Derrick who was gawking at him. He swallowed the lump that had developed in his throat and promised himself that in about 30 minutes, Power would change hands. Stacey had grown cold. While the men were going back and forth, she was just staring blankly at the grey wall.Dr. Derrick turned to her. “Miss, Stacey. I think your friend has a mental problem. Save yourself the stress and all the trouble. Just think of my suggestion.” He then began to create imaginary circles on the table. “As long as you pledge to serve me well, getting your

The massive hospital with all its staff had just been handed over to someone else at a hat-throw. Dr. Derrick caught himself staring at Henry like a ghost. Who was this guy? He kept wondering. Dr. Derrick couldn’t hold it together anymore. He marched to the scene and faced President Gale. “Are you sure he bought this place? Isn’t this kid a fraud or something?”President Gale gasped and turned to his two assistants who had been silent all along. “Who hired this guy?” he was referring to Dr. Derrick. “How dare he talk to Mr. Parker that way?”“We are sorry, sir.” One of the board members responded and glared at Dr. Derrick. Henry realized that it was time to let the cat out of the bag. He faced President Gale. “Do you know that Dr. Derrick wanted to kick out a patient who was admitted here without any solid reason?”“What?” President Gale was shocked. “Not only that.” Henry continued. “He also tried to force my friend to sleep with him.” Henry was now pointing at Stacey whose hea

Nate continued. “The Gale family has been running this hospital pretty well so I have a suggestion.”Henry folded his arms across his chest and faced Nate. “What’s the suggestion?”President Gale was paying keen attention. “While you take over the shares and ownership rights, I’d like the same management to continue running the hospital,” Nate said. Henry hummed. If he was going to go by Nate’s assertion that the Gale family was most fit to run the hospital then Dr. Derrick had to be an exception. Henry had no intention of ripping them off their management. He knew how important the hospital was to them but he’d appreciate it if the like of Dr. Derrick were fished out.“That’s a wonderful idea. I’m cool with it.” Henry replied. President Gale smiled. “Mr. Parker, on behalf of the Gale family, thank you for your trust.” He bowed. The Gale family had been running Lifeline Hospital for several generations. Normally, if someone offered to buy it, they wouldn’t accept it because lots o

Berry moved closer and winked at Henry. “Hey, I also learned that Benedict was humiliated by you. Is it true?”Henry was speechless. He looked at Berry who seemed eager to get more details about Benedict’s humiliation from him. Henry felt that ever since he got his inheritance, he had been acting quite irrationally. Did he just exercise his power over the hotel and buy the hospital so that people could respect him?He just wanted to prove a point and now, he wondered what made him different from the likes of Benedict and other pompous rich men out there. Could it be that this was the real him? Had he been suppressing his arrogant emotions for the past 6 years that he was collecting trash? Henry kept wondering. Could money make people act differently?Nevertheless, Henry does not like arrogance. He prefers an ordinary and super life. He concluded that his terrible experience with pain, poverty, and ridicule shaped his actions in the last few days. The more he thought about it, the

Jacob was the kind of guy that always loved to steal the show. Berry knew that the only company he might have tonight was Henry and if he refuses to show up, he’ll be forced to hang around Jacob and his girlfriend who always wanted to be the center of attention. When Henry turned around, Jacob’s phone began to ring. He lifted a hand to Henry to give him a moment. He quickly responded. It was a video call from his girlfriend. “Hi, babe!”She flipped her hair and began to throw a tantrum. “You know what babe, you better watch out for your dorm guys and ensure they look good. I don’t want you showing up with them wearing cheap clothes around you and also looking very ordinary. You know I’m hosting tonight’s social gathering, right? Everything has to be perfect.”Henry and the boys exchanged glances. She continued. “And for that Henry, he better not show up if he’s going to come here smelling like trash. We heard that he’s suddenly rich but some of us are so sure it was a prank.”Jaco

Henry stepped out and was about to follow the boys into the busy bar when he noticed a famous black Benz parked on the other side of the street. “You guys should go in first. I’ll join you later.” Henry said and turned away. He was about to head toward the vehicle. “Hey, you don’t have to run away.” Berry cried out. “Are you sure you’re not running away from Bella?” During his short meetings with Nate in the past few days, Henry had come to recognize Nate’s car. Henry smiled. “Trust me guys. This has nothing to do with me running away. I just need a moment.”Jacob was already standing by the door. “What are you guys still doing outside? All the cool spots are going to be taken.”Dalton and Berry reluctantly followed Jacob into the bar. When Jacob stepped in, he was greeted by Aida, and standing beside her were two members of the Fantastic Four group. Molly had stepped out. The girls exchanged pleasantries with Jacon and blushed when he complimented their outfits. Aida grabbed

“Yes,” Henry said, admitting the fact that he stole Jean’s drink.“What?” everyone at the table screamed in disbelief. Henry turned away with a bitter smile. It was weird to actually meet the owner of the sprite he had devoured two days back at such an auspicious gathering. Did he make a mistake by stepping out tonight with the boys? He wondered. Courtney leaned toward Jean and began to whisper. “Are you he’s the disgusting guy? This person is handsome.”Aida shook her head in frustration. She wondered whether Courtney hadn’t met the famous scavenger on campus. Courtney might have never crossed paths with Henry because she stayed off campus. “How can such a handsome man do a thing like that?” said Courtney. She shook her head and turned to Henry. “Forget it. He looks cheap anyway.”Henry was now the center of attention in the small gathering. The ladies were harboring disgust on their faces. Berry secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was now free from their judgmental gazes. Jaco

Henry looked around and saw that everyone was interested.He said, “Those who are willing to join the Star-moon entertainment now, I will give you double your salary.”everyone screamed.Double the salary!?This man must be freaking rich!The scene immediately became noisy.Those that didn’t raise their hands well before raised it well now.“Me! Mr. Parker!” one shouted.“Me! Me!’ another one said.Wales looked at his employees with bitterness.How could they betray him like this?Even some of the artists that had just been signed jumped ship.It was indeed over for Light entertainment.Henry looked at Wales and said coldly“What are you still doing here!? Pack your things quickly and get out of here. This is no longer your territory.”Everyone shouted at wales hoping to please Henry.Wales felt like crying.He used to be respected but these people, but now they chased him out like a dog.He wished it was a bad dream he could wake up from.Except for a few artists that were bound beca

Immediately, the security guards brought Lenard out.When they brought him out, his face was full of bruises and he was in a lot of pain.Ben had used the excuse of him stealing the company’s confidential documents to beat him up.Ben and the others that brought Henry out did not know what had happened.Ben did not know that his superior almost jumped off the building.He said to Lenard with a sinister smile, “It seems that your boss is here. he’s really got some nerve. Wales will deal with you both today.”After saying that he dragged Lenard to the floor in front of Henry.henry saw Lenard with his swollen face and several footprints on his clothes.He couldn’t help but frown.He didn’t think Wales would do such a thing.He stared at him coldly.Lenard shouted with a crying voice, “Mr. Parker, you are finally here!”Ben did not see clearly that the situation had changed.He said proudly, “Mr. Parker, how dare you offend our boss, Mr. Wales? Don’t even think about walking out today. O

Wales thought the security guards were all putting on an act so he kicked the hard“Get up, you fools! You can’t even take care of one person!?” He screamed angrily.The security chief held his chest and gasped.He had just been hit by the tiny Tim with his elbow but it was as if he had been hit by a car.He still felt that his head was out of oxygen.“Boss! This person is not easy to deal with. He is too strong!” the poor guy could hardly finish his statement before he slumped to the ground again.Wales sighed inwardly.He was doomed.If these guys can’t beat just one person out of all the guards Henry brought, how would he survive?What they didn’t know was if Tiny Tim actually dealt with them ruthlessly, they’d be all dead.“Trash! You all can’t even handle one tiny guy!? Why have I been paying you all these years then? You all can’t even take care of these ruffians!” Wales barked at them.The security guys felt so wrong. They felt like crying.They wished they could fight back but

It was why he could dare to say that he would jump from the building if henry could buy the whole building.One should note that the Light company was located at the twenty-first floor.If he really jumped, his neck would snap into a meat paste.“Ha! You really dared to say that. I hope you won’t back out later.” Henry said as he smiled widely.He didn’t think that Wales would make such a bet with him.June went out to make a few phone calls and found out who the owner of the building was.she walked back to report to Henry.‘Sir, the owner of this building is Troy.”Henry was stunned. But he smiled, thinking it was a good coincidence.The purchase of Cloud Haven would even be smoother.Troy had lost to him in the past.Wales thought Henry was afraid when he heard Troy’s name.Therefore, he said with a sinister smile‘Now you know! This is Mr. smith’s property. Can you afford it? I’m sure you can’t even find him.”“How do you know I can’t find Troy? Maybe he wants me to buy it.” Henry

This matter was finally going to relieve their boredom.They couldn’t wait to see how everything would turn out.Even the trainers had snuck out to see the so-called boss Lenard called powerful and rich.When they saw Henry, they were not that impressed.Most of his guards were women.While Wales on the other hand, had hefty-looking security guards behind him.It was obvious they were prepared to teach Henry a lesson.Such an explosive scene was not something to be missed.When Wales heard Henry’s words, he let out a laugh.“Ha! You want me to let him go? Do you think that this has never happened? Who the fuck do you think you are? This is Starlight entertainment! How dare you try to scout my people?” he screamed angrily.“Lenard is my person now. I have the right to ask for him.” Henry said calmly.“Uh! You really think you and I are equal? My Light entertainment company is the biggest and the most successful. Just the staff alone is not less than a thousand people and there are over

After all, approaching people in this manner was not something to be done in the open.But since Henry had done, he wasn’t afraid of Starlight entertainment.When he heard Wales’s question, Henry was indifferent.He said faintly, “Who are you? Do you have the right to talk to me?”“Fuck! I am the CEO of Starlight entertainment company. Do you think I’m qualified?” Wales said angrily.“I don’t care if you are the president or whatever. Lenard is my subordinate now. You better don’t touch him or else you’ll not be able to bear the consequences.” Henry warned.“Who do you think you are!? Today, I’m going to teach you and Lenard a lesson. Come and take him away if you dare.”“Alright. I’ll come over now. I hope you won’t regret it.” Henry hung up the phone after saying that.Although Lenard wasn’t able to resolve the matter properly, he had also gotten into trouble.And Henry isn’t the type to watch his people suffer.Since Lenard was already his subordinate, he could not just leave him t

Lenard felt that everyone did not believe him and felt a little anxious in his heart.After all, bringing one person will attract a reward of twenty thousand.he was hoping to get eight or ten people for Henry but he did not except these people not to be moved by his words.“Teachers, I really did not lie to you. My new boss is very wealthy. There will not be a situation that he would stop working and close down. He is….”Before Lenard could talk about Henry’s background, Lena interrupted him.“There’s no need. I won’t consider jumping ship anyway.” she said slyly.“If you want us to go to the top entertainment company in the industry, then it’s possible. Not some small broken company.” Anna said seriously.“Lenard! Are you trying to frame us!?” Katherine screamed at him.“C’mon, teachers! I’m not. He is…”They didn’t allow him to finish before cut him off.“Enough! You don’t have to say anything. Since we are all colleagues, we won’t report her. You can leave now.” Lena waved her han

They were choosing girls according to June, Chelsea, Jen and the rest standards.But these standards were just too high. How could ordinary girls be compared to June or Jen?At least, they were among the top ten most beautiful girls in the Marian university.This was not for ordinary beauties.They felt even June’s beauty was just too high that no one could compare to her.When Benny and Jordan went back to the entertainment company, they got to meet Tammy and Lenard.When the two boys saw Tammy, their jaws dropped and they couldn’t stop drooling about how pretty she was.Her skin looked smooth and white like snow.Her proportions could make any man go crazy.Even her voice was enchanting.Although, she couldn’t be compared to June’s ethereal beauty, she was close.They all gave Henry a round of applause for scouting such a rare beauty.After getting acquainted with the new faces, they discussed matters on the opening of the entertainment company.“Henry, I should have registered the

As the only five-star hotel in Marian, it was the hotel most wealthy people visited.The daily turn-up was over one million dollars.If they should postpone the reopening for a whole year, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the hotel.Although, Henry did not care about the profits he would get from the hotel, it was still his property and it would be unreasonable to loose money.Henry instructed his driver to take them to the Eden house.That was also the location of the entertainment company.When they arrived, Lenard could not believe his eyes.“This was where the entertainment company was located?” Lenard said to himself.He thought this place looked sloppy and looked like a club house.In his heart, he began to regret that he had accepted henry’s offer to work for his entertainment company.Even though Henry was indeed a very rich young man, this entertainment company was just too shabby.He was even thinking of going back to his former company.“Boss, ehrm… is your ente
