“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
Mathew sneered and looked at Henry with a threatening look. He then smirked and walked back to his table. Henry didn’t mind. He simply went back to his seat. Berry quickly stood up and sat beside Henry, the spot Jean had earlier occupied. “Look, Mathew is not someone to play with. I saw you having a verbal exchange with him. You have to be careful, Henry.” Berry warned. “He just threatened me,” Henry replied. Berry gasped. “What?” asked Henry. “Mathew threatened you? You should leave right away. I can walk you back to the dorm.”Henry had a calm expression on his face. “It’s fine. What can he do to me, anyway.”Even though he was known as a trash collector on campus, Henry knew that Mathew, no matter how rich was not up to his standard. He was a direct descendant of the Parker family after all. In the eyes of Jacob and the others, Mathew was a very wealthy and powerful young man whom they could not afford to offend. However, in front of Henry, Mathew was no different from an
Nate had ensured that all that Henry needed was at his beg and call. This was to ensure that Henry didn’t have a tough life like before and to also track him and keep him safe. There were drivers stationed around him to follow him whenever he needed help. There were also trained security guards watching. The men weren’t dressed in security outfits so one could actually know they were guards. Meanwhile, the Bentley wasn’t even Henry’s car. It was one of Nate’s vehicles which he had given to Henry to use until he decided to get his vehicle. Mathew was still stunned because, to him, Henry was some loser like Jacob and his other roommates. Jean was at a corner, trying to get a hail a cab. Henry walked past Mathew and got into the car. He mounted the driver’s seat and pulled up right in front of Jean. “Can I please give you a ride?” Henry demanded with his head stuck out of the car. Jean sighed. Henry gave her a pleading look. “Please.”She sighed and walked up to the car. She then
Back in his room, Benedict was very pleased with himself. He noticed the way Jean’s smile broadened on his screen. He had already concluded that she was a woman who could be bought with a lot of money. Ever since he broke up with Bella, Benedict had been looking for a replacement. He had seen Jean a couple of times and was infatuated by her so he followed her social media handles and discovered that she had a live podcast show. Donating the sports car gift with a value of 1 thousand dollars was one of Benedict’s mapped-out plans for wooing Jean. He wanted her to see him. He wanted to get her more gifts and eventually get her phone number. Then, he’ll give her rides in his luxury car, take her shopping and she’ll be his girlfriend. That was Benedict’s ultimate plan. Suddenly, the streamers began to drop comments and when Jean looked at it, she was stunned. Mr. Red had donated a sports car, again. The streamers couldn’t stop blabbering over Mr. Red’s generosity. Others were reques
Primary school students should not steal their parent’s money and pretend to be rich. Benedict wrote. It was a mocking statement directed at Free Bird. Benedict thought Jean was a property he could just buy without considering her feelings. On her end, Jean felt that if she didn’t acknowledge Benedict’s generous donation, she would make a lot of people mad since he had given out the money publicly. While she was still in her dilemma, she saw her comment section bursting with reactions and comments. The donation section had just received a new entry. When Jean saw the donation, she froze. Someone had just donated 10 yatch. Everyone was stunned. Jean wondered whether she was hallucinating. 10 yachts meant 100,000 thousand dollars. This is way too much she thought.More girls began to bombard Free Bird’s timeline, begging for his phone number. While everyone was still basking in the outstanding donation of Free Bird, he dropped 10 more yachts in the comment section. “No way!” Jean
“Okay.” Jean nodded after reading Free Bird’s comment. She then played music. Her red lips parted and she began to hum according to the melody. Jean began to sing. She was singing a love song. The atmosphere of the live podcast was stirred. Everyone was generous with their rewards and all kinds of small gifts filled the screen. Jean looked down at her screen and saw the bursting virtual reactions and donations flying around. She was moved by their generosity and sang with much intensity from her heart.Meanwhile, Jean’s live podcast had accumulated thousands of streamers and donations, causing it to top the charts for podcast of the week. All thanks to Henry and Benedict of cause. At the end of the podcast, Jean thanked her streamers as usual. She was curious about what kind of person Free Bird was so she messaged him through his handle and dropped her phone number. She was looking forward to having the chance to contact him in the future. Henry got the message. It read: I just
Back in his dormitory, Henry lay on his back on the bed. He was about to fall into a snooze when the door was pushed open. Berry walked in. Berry rushed toward Henry and settled by the edge of his bed. “Are you alright Henry? I hope Mathew didn’t do anything to you?”When Mathew followed Jean and Henry outside, the boys were restless and when he returned, he just grabbed his things and left after asking his boys to keep an eye on Jacob’s team. Jacob and the others were watched by Mathew’s boys so they didn’t dare to move. It was after Mathew left the bar that the boys were free. Henry sat up. “I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.”“How did you escape? And Jean? What happened to her?”Suddenly, Jacob and Dalton walked in, bearing worried expressions. Jacob sighed in relief when he noticed that Henry was in one piece. “Jean is fine. I escorted her back to her dormitory.” Henry said. His roommates noticed that he was very relaxed so they felt at ease. Meanwhile, Mathew’s boys had threatened
As the head of the science department at Marylyn University, Robert had the power to control the lives of poor students. He had even forced lots of female students to have a relationship with him. The scandal had spread around the school like wildfire but no one did anything about it. While some girls were quiet about the ordeal, others slipped into depression while some were forced to drop out of school. Whenever Robert sees a girl with low grades, he threatens her and in exchange for getting her cleared, Bulldog demands sex. Robert was simply a beast, a scum bag as most of the students referred to him. He was a despicable person who had no moral line. If he had no personal connections with the school management, he wouldn’t have cheered the science department for such a long time. While he was trying to gather money to purchase a phone for Bella, Henry missed some of his classes. When he saw Robbert’s call, he concluded that he was going to get a query because his attendance was
