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

“What I mean is that you better not interfere with my matters in the future. Just pretend that you never said anything or else, you might be fired.” Henry said. He was staring at Bulldog straight in the face and his voice was etched with confidence. Bulldog was completely amused by Henry’s words. He took off his glasses and dumped it on the table. Henry could see the shock in his eyes. “You’re joking. Young man, how dare you threaten me?”Henry said nothing. With his vicious eyes piercing through Henry’s green eyes, the furious Bulldog continued. “Don’t you know what’s good for you? You know what? You only have today to send me the money otherwise I’ll not only ensure you fail my course but I’ll directly expel you from the department.”In Bulldog’s opinion, not only was Henry poor, but he was also very stupid. He had threatened Henry with an expulsion because it was the worst-case scenario any student could face. “I’ve told you not to threaten me but if you continue to be so pers

After donating 300 million dollars, Henry was on the verge of becoming the chief board of directors of Marylyn University. Suddenly, one of the Vice chancellor’s secretaries walked in.“Smith? Where the hell were you? Hurry up. Go get this student some tea.” The V.C. told the Secretary Smith was about to dash out when the V.C. spoke. “Don’t serve him the conventional tea we serve our guests. Get him something more classy. He’s the director.”Henry noticed how V.C. Fella’s attitude toward him had quickly changed.“Please, director. Take a seat.” V.C. Fella pointed at the sofa beside his table.Henry settled there.C Fella hummed. “I don’t know how to address you. Pardon my manners. What’s your name?” he was smiling so brightly that Henry thought his cheeks would hurt.The Vice-Chancellor began to study Henry. Irrespective of what he wore, he was the son of a rich family because not any random student could give out 300 million dollars so easily.“My name is Henry Parker.”“Good name!”

Henry was moved by Berry’s act of kindness. As for Dalton and Jacob, he wouldn’t blame them. After all, they had no idea about his real identity.Besides, it was unfortunate for the heir of the Parker family to receive help from outside so it was a good thing that they weren’t willing to help Henry.“It’s okay Berry. I don’t plan to give Bulldog any money.” Henry replied. “He dared to say that he was going to expel me. I can’t wait to get him dismissed.” Henry added with a smirk.“What? Do you think you can have Bulldog fired? Are you crazy?” said Jacob.“You don’t even sound realistic Henry.” Berry chipped in. “Bulldog is the head of a department. The man has so much power and influence otherwise, none of us will be so afraid of him.”“I also learned that he’s related to one of the school officials. A higher one.” Dalton told them.“You see!” Jacob opened his palms before Henry in his bid to prove his point. “We are not talking about some random stuff here and besides, you’re not the

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, Sir. I did none of these things.” Robert denied it with a straight face. “You don’t have to defend yourself, Robert.” V.C. Fella replied. “Why don’t you save your statements for the authorities? You’ll be facing the law.”Bulldog felt his heart constricting. V. C Fella waved his hand and immediately after that, the security officials behind him appeared. The security officers surrounded Bulldog like he was a criminal. Some of the students had secretly taken out their phones and were recording the incident.When V.C. Fella looked back, his eyes met with Henry’s. Henry smiled and gave him a satisfactory nod. Henry was moved by the V.C.’s swift line of action. On his part, V.C. Fella was determined to keep Henry’s identity a secret. He then turned to the security guards. “Take him away.”Bulldog was already sweating profusely. His forehead was covered with a bead of sweat. While the security guards were dragging him toward the door, Bulldog ke

Henry left the lecture hall together with Berry and Dalton. Jacob had taken his girlfriend to one of the school canteens. “Why don’t we go and have lunch at Frankie’s canteen?” asked Dalton who was still over the moon about Bulldog’s dismissal. Berry cleared his throat loudly. “I thought you said that you had no money and that’s why you can’t help Henry.”Dalton waved his hand down. “Oh please, Berry. Stop talking about that and besides, the matter has been sorted. Bulldog is out of our lives and I’m in such a good mood.”Berry sighed and shook his head.Dalton stood before Henry with a grin. “Why don’t I make it up to you? You and Berry can come and have lunch with me. It’s all on me.”“Why don’t I treat you guys to lunch instead?” Henry blurted.Dalton and Berry exchanged glances.“The last time we all went out, Jacob treated us to a nice meal so today, I’ll treat you guys.” Maintained Henry.“No.” Berry countered. “You don’t have to take us out. We know how hard you work to earn

“A poor scavenger just sat with Jean? My heart hurts.” The crowd exploded with laughter. Some of the boys beat their chests and stamped their feet. If they had gotten over their fear of meeting Jean earlier, trash Prince wouldn’t have had the chance to sit next to her. As for Jean, she cared less about the boys or the drama. She had long gotten used to it. She ignored Henry and continued to eat with an indifferent expression. She wasn’t nervous. Berry and Dalton overcame their fears and went to the table. They sat next to Henry in a carefree manner. All of them were now facing Jean. Meanwhile, Henry was the one sitting directly opposite Jean. Usually, only couples or pals will sit together like in the open arena outside. The seats facing each other were so close that people’s legs could glide easily under the table. Henry wanted to sit up then his leg drifted against Jean’s. She lifted her head and tossed her plate of pasta to the side. Who the hell was this guy that dared to

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
