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

Micheal flipped the card and turned to Henry and Kelvin with disbelief in his eyes. He felt as if he was living in a dreamland.How did Henry, a trash collector buy a car worth a million dollars? Wondered Micheal. He looked intensely at Henry again and concluded that he had underestimated the value of Henry’s clothes and cologne. If he had imagined that Henry’s life turned better, it was now evident that it changed for the better.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stretched his hand toward Micheal. “My card, please.”Micheal passed the card to Henry with a trembling hand. He was tempted to ask Henry where he got so much money from. Throughout his years of working at the car shop, Micheal had barely saved 50,000 dollars so he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of job Henry had in Marylyn.Originally, Micheal felt a sense of superiority before Henry but now that the transaction was complete, the sense of superiority instantly became that of inferiority.Micheal’s heart was instantly f

Greenville was a small town and the occupants knew each other so news about the demolition was now an agenda in the town.Henry nodded and said nothing.Micheal concluded that Henry was very worried about the matter that’s why he couldn’t even comment on it.“Don’t be anxious.” Micheal started the comfort Henry. “Didn’t people on the old street go to confront the developers? Be positive. I’m sure that there’ll be changes.”Henry nodded again. “It’s just about time. Everything will be fixed once the ownership of the Holiday real estate company changes hands.”Micheal looked at Henry with a quirked brow. His confusion was growing. Were the developers planning to sell their company? Micheal could not imagine that. Everyone knew Ryan Holiday as a big sky that could cover the entire town with his glory and the company was his fortress.Henry saw Micheal looking at him with a blank expression so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Why don’t we look at the cars first?”“Right!” Michea

Kelvin and Henry finally settled for a business car which was spacious enough to accommodate twenty passengers. “Let’s go and get it,” Henry said and stood up. Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you mean right now?”“Don’t worry about the urgency,” Henry replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen and instructed Hailey to look after the children then he went to meet Kelvin by the door. There was only one car shop in the entire city. So instead of going in his car, Henry requested that they walk to the spot. “It’s a way of exercising.” He had said. As they made their way toward the car store, Henry looked at the old street carefully. The more he studied the area, the more he realized that it was tearing into pieces and the environment felt odd for him. He had three years’ worth of memory there and he couldn’t help but imagine how the neighbors who were forced out of the area felt despite being attached to the place all their lives. “You bought all the houses. What are you going to

Chapter 192The other men opened their eyes and when they saw Betty and Tiny Tim in the room, they began to tremble with fear. They were so scared that they wet themselves on the bed. Henry had already explained to Betty and Tiny Tim their role at the hospital. Kyiv was so scared that his whole body was trembling. The sight of Betty and Tiny Tim in the room instantly gave him post-traumatic stress disorder. It was barely two days after their last encounter. Betty giggled and moved closer to Kyiv. “I’m not here to teach you a lesson. Our employer ordered us to come here because he had something to tell you.”After hearing that they weren’t there to finish him off as he expected, Kyiv heaved several sighs of relief. “Go ahead!” He said. Betty folded her arms across her chest and began. “My employer sends his sympathy. We heard that Ryan Holiday abandoned you guys. Although you guys offended my employer’s family in the past, he had always been clear about his intentions. Your boss ha

In the future, Henry was going to return to his biological family and by that time, he’d be further away from his Greenville family so he needed to empower them as soon as he could. As long as he could support Kelvin to take charge of the family, Henry knew that he could be anywhere and his mind would be at ease. The Holiday Real Estate Company was considered a top company in Greenville. If Kelvin controls such a company, ordinary people would not be able to offend him hence the Potter family would remain safe so that’s why Henry wanted to secure the spot. After Kelvin agreed, Henry turned to Betty. “You know what to do.”Betty stood up and cleaned her hands with a napkin. “Yes sir.” She nodded and left. ***The entire Holiday real estate company was in a mess. Even though the people at the old street were gone, Ryan had stationed guards around the company because the people might return at any time. All the employees were forced to sleep over at work that night. Even though it wa

When Henry woke up the next day, he was greeted by the events that took place at the Holiday real estate site. According to Kelvin, the neighbors on the old street who protested had an intense conflict with the employers of the company. Although Ryan had threatened the photographers and reporters from taking multimedia clips of the situation, the people did their job and as it stands, everything that was captured had been uploaded on the internet. “Look!” Kelvin said and passed his phone to Henry.When Henry watched the video, he broke into an intense laughter. There was no denying that the conflict was a heated one. These were the same people who had hidden in the past but now, every one of them was as powerful as a mad tiger; all thanks to the 2 million dollars Henry had promised each of them. In the video, Henry saw how the people roared and shook the gates violently. The employees of the company could not stop them at all. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the protesters pushed t

After the people were gone, Kelvin turned to Henry. “I agree with what you’ve done. It will be difficult for them to reverse the agreement but they can go ahead and try. These people are very hateful. Where were they when we were fighting the developers? Now they finally dare to fight back because of the 2 million they could get?” Kelvin spat and shook his head with contempt. Henry smiled and turned to the children. “Come, let’s get inside.”Kelvin and Hailey led everyone into the house. Although Mr. Potter’s house was in a bad state, the area of the house was not small. There were cracks on the wall and the paintings had faded but there was enough space for the children to sleep and play around. Kelvin took the children to their rooms to make their beds and do their morning chores which they couldn’t do earlier due to the excitement of having breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Hailey noticed the way Henry was surveying the living room. She walked up to him. “The place is old and sma

Kyiv was the most disappointed among the group. He had served Ryan Holiday for so many years and he had been working extra hard to prove himself. It was the demolition; a project handed over to him by Ryan himself that made him crippled but Ryan didn’t just refuse to pay for his treatment. He also dumped him. Kyiv shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Ryan, I curse you and all your generations to come.” He screamed out of despair.***Henry and the children were done having breakfast. They were now on their way back to their home on the old street. When the cars pulled toward the house, Henry and the others saw a large group of people blocking the entrance. As they drove closer to the house, June turned to Henry. “I don’t know what these people are looking for so we should avoid them.”Henry pulled down the reflectors and looked closely at the group. He turned to June with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. They are all neighbors of the old street.”The cars finally came to a halt an

After getting his teeth extracted, Ryan had an artificial one placed back there and immediately after he walked out of the clinic, he reached out for his phone and placed a call to his favorite subordinate.“Kyiv, where are you now!” Ryan yelled over the phone after his call was responded to. Kyiv was Ryan’s most loyal and capable subordinate. With the help of Kyiv, Ryan was able to achieve a lot of operations not worthy of mentioning. Kyiv sighed over the phone. “I need you to get your ass over here!” Ryan went on yelling. “I have a job for you.” As far as Ryan was concerned, only a man like Kyiv could handle Henry. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s voice was calm. “I’m in an emergency room at the hospital right now.” He replied and groaned afterward. Ryan was surprised when he heard Kyiv moaning over the phone in pain. “Which hospital is that and why are you in an emergency room in the first place ?” Ryan asked. “The community dispensary on Barett Street,” Kyiv responded. Ryan immediately h
