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
