DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 38
“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

Even though Henry had proven to be ahead of him with his car the other night, Mathew was not going to be polite. In the city, Mathew was a man of his word and was never afraid of people no matter how powerful they were so to him, Henry was not an exception. “Listen Jean.” Mathew continued speaking. He was completely ignoring Henry and everyone there. “I’m being sincere to you. Don’t reject my kindness.”Jean went on drinking her milkshake hurriedly. In his eyes, Mathew had a strong desire to possess Jean. Henry saw that Jean did not speak. He then reached for a napkin and dapped his lips.Henry faced Mathew. “Mathew, looks like the lesson I taught you last time was not big enough.”Berry and Dalton stared at each other blankly. What lesson was Henry blabbering about?Mathew became furious. “If you know what’s good for you then you’ll stay away from me. Last time, I didn’t argue with you because I wasn’t in the mood so stay in your lane.”Jean sighed in irritation. “Can’t you see th

The scene stunned everyone. Everyone was talking about Henry who had dared to make a move at Mathew. Mathew’s boys pulled out handkerchiefs and resolved to help him. Even though they had gotten rid of the hot soup, the stains were everywhere on Mathew and he was recking of condiments from the soup.Dalton turned to Berry. “Did you see that?”“Yeah. I just watched Henry splash vegetable soup on Mathew.” Berry replied.“Seems like Henry doesn’t want to live anymore.”In the eyes of everyone, Henry was a poor kid while Mathew was a high and mighty young master from a rich family. The difference in status for the two of them was like heaven and earth so some of the students were already feeling sorry for Henry.For some of them, it was normal to be bullied by Mathew. Unexpectedly, not only did Henry not tolerate Mathew’s humiliation, he even dared to fight back.Mathew was so embarrassed. A look of disbelief was covering his face. What gave the trash Prince the audacity to pour vegetable

“Yes. We need to stop the bleeding.” Said Chelsea who didn’t move an inch away from the scene. Jean noticed that the more Henry wiped away the blood with napkins, the more it flowed. She gritted her teeth and reached for the end of her dress. She tore it and swung into action.Jean began to tie up Henry’s wound with her torn dress. After ensuring that she had stopped the bleeding, she looked up to Henry. “You need to get to the school clinic very quickly.”Henry nodded and began to feel helpless. The wound was not as minor as he portrayed it. Looking at it, it needed to be stitched. “This is too much!” Berry cried out. “Henry has to take revenge on Mathew.”Chelsea and Jean cleared the way for Henry to pass. While Chelsea ensured that the students made way for Henry, Jean was helping him regain his balance because Henry was starting to feel dizzy.Soon, the canteen path was cleared and Henry was on his way to the school clinic. While Chelsea and Jean were on his sides, Berry and D

Henry’s heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition suddenly hit him. It was very likely that Chelsea had been caught by Mathew. Henry turned to Dalton with a clenched fist. “If Mathew dares hurt Chelsea then he’ll get the miserable death I promised him.”Dalton was anxious. “Did Chelsea get kidnapped? We need to reach Berry. Maybe he was able to find her.”Henry pulled out his phone. “I’ll call Berry.” He then dialed Berry’s number and placed it on speaker. The phone kept ringing but there was no response. Dalton’s fear heightened. Henry frowned and dialed the number again but this time, he was informed that Berry’s phone was switched off. Henry had no choice but to imagine the worst-case scenario. Not only Chelsea was caught but Berry too. When Dalton learned that Berry’s line was no longer accessible, he began to tremble in fear. He dared not imagine what kind of harm Berry and Chelsea would suffer at the hands of Mathew. “What should we do, Henry?”Henry’s expression was mixed

Steven dares not offend Henry not after causally receiving 30,000 dollars. He was already having doubts about Henry’s identity and the last thing he wanted to do was cause himself any trouble. He quickly stood up and waved his hand. “It’s not like I don’t want to help you with the investigation.” Steven then shook his head. “The problem is that my computer model is too old so the configuration does not allow the service you need. Henry felt helpless. “Why don’t you send the location you just picked to my phone number.” He said and passed his phone to Steven. Steven took Henry’s phone and after a few swipes and punching, he handed it back to Henry. “I’ve linked your device with the computer tracker.” Henry took his phone and dashed out with Dalton. When they stepped out, Henry turned to Dalton. “Why don’t you stay in the dormitory? I’ll go find Berry and Chelsea. “What?” Dalton flared up. “There’s no way I’m allowing you to go there all by yourself.”“Look.” Henry moved closer. “

“Mathew was right. The boy has nerves just because he’s worth a hundred thousand dollars” One of the boys who was still holding onto Henry said. A hundred thousand dollars? Henry wondered. What the hell was Mathew driving at? He felt that Mathew had underestimated him. As the dignified heir of the Parker family, it would be a joke to tell anyone that he was worth a hundred thousand dollars. “What if I give you ten times the money?” Henry blurted. Silence swept through every corner of the room. “Let go of my classmates and then you’ll have the money,” Henry added. One of the boys slowly released Henry’s arm. “10 times the money? That will be a million dollars.” He gasped. “You think that we are stupid?” the leader barked. The guard who had earlier let go of Henry quickly tightened his grip around him. “How can a poor student like you boast of so much money?” the boss screamed at Henry’s face. “That’s right.” The other boy who said nothing spoke. “We’ve already accepted Math

“What?” screamed a shocked Henry. He was now worried that Scott had lied to him. Before he transferred the 3 million dollars, he had categorically explained that both of his classmates were in custody. “I swear to God. I’m not lying.” Scott quickly replied as if he just read Henry’s mind. “We are only in the custody of one of them,” Scott said. “Why would I lie to you after accepting to betray Mathew?”Henry was lost. Could it be that Mathew had sent two groups of people to capture Chelsea and Berry individually?Berry, who was standing by the side kept staring at Henry helplessly. It occurred to Henry that the seal tape was preventing Berry from saying what he knew. He quickly walked up to Berry and tore the tape. Berry swallowed and began to speak. “Chelsea should be fine. These people took me right after I showed up. They brought me straight here. They didn’t go to look for Chelsea.”“We didn’t come in contact with the girl you mentioned. The orders were to capture him.” Scott m

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
