An heir like Mathew had enjoyed the most luxurious life ever since he was young. Henry was sure that once his money ran out, Mathew would be lost about any hope of recovering. If Henry makes his family bankrupt by denying them the loan, Mathew could be transferred from the high and mighty man to a beggar. This kind of change in status was like sending him to hell. Henry folded the paper the way he had pulled it. He placed it back in the envelope and slipped it inside his bag. Then, he stood up. “I need to leave. I’m sure I’ll come back here in the future.”The woman pouted her lips like a child’s and blinked repeatedly. “You’re leaving now? Don’t you want to sit a little longer? I’ll be quite all lonely by myself if you go.” She said. Henry sighed and crashed on the stool. She was smiling very brightly now and the more she smiled, the warmer he felt. Since he had nothing to do in school, Henry felt there was no harm if he sat back and chatted with the beautiful woman.“How should I
“Please, chief!” Chelsa said with tears welling up in her eyes. “You better fall on your face and apologize to my guest else I’ll let your entire school know the kind of work you do.” Said the Chief with a determined look. “No! I’m very sorry. You must not do this.” Chelsea cried out. Her makeup was getting smeared by sweat dripping from her forehead. She was so frightened. As President of the Students Union, she was bound to be an example for all the students. If the whole school knew that she was a bar girl, her reputation would be tarnished and she would be expelled from school. “Chief, I’ll go back now,” Chelsea said with tears in her eyes. She was about to take a step toward the bearded man when Henry grabbed her hand and pulled her backward. “Wait a minute!” he then turned to the chief. “I’m also a guest here so now, I want her to be my bar girl.”The chief sneered. “Who are you? You better get lost.”Chief had already heard from their conversation that Henry was Chelsea’s
“You can’t do this anymore. Are you even listening to me?” Henry said.Chelsea turned to him and instantly broke out crying. “Do you think I’m willing? You think I do this for fun?”Henry sighed. It wasn’t his intention to offend her.She stood up. “You’re a rich person. You know nothing about the despair of poor people. Have you ever been in a position where you needed money urgently but couldn’t get it?” she was crying profusely now and Henry was touched.“If the normal jobs you mentioned paid a good income, did you think I’d still be here doing such a degrading job?” she covered her face and continued crying bitterly.Chelsea’s heart was bearing a burden that no one knew about. She had to throw away her dignity and become a bar girl so that she could earn money. On the other hand, she was a respected president of the Students Union. The identity conflict always made her feel extremely tormented.Seeing her break down made Henry feel bad. “I’m sorry.” He said. His tone was apologeti
In Henry’s eyes, the Eye of Dark Knight was just a small powerhouse that he could use as a tool occasionally. If Eye of Dark Knight wouldn't let go of the people Henry wanted, then destruction awaited them.“Don’t worry Chelsea. I say that you can leave. No one would dare to stop you.” he said. He then smiled confidently.To Chelsea, the Eye of the Dark Knight was a huge net that made her fall deeper into it. Henry thought he could take her out with just a single word. She sighed and concluded that he didn’t know about the place that’s why he didn’t take it seriously.Henry was certain that Chelsea was free from tonight. There was no need to explain to her because she couldn’t imagine the kind of huge power that the Parker family could yield.Chelsea stood up and Henry sighed in relief. He grabbed his phone and headed to the door. When Henry opened the door, he saw the Chief standing by the door.When the chief saw Henry, he lowered his head respectfully. “Respected guest, are you sat
At this point, Henry was displaying all the attributes of a proud heir. His smile was confident and his eyes were filled with determination. Chelsea was intoxicated by his display of dominance and she began to feel some inexplicable sense of security.Less than ten minutes later, the door was pushed inside and Miss Rose walked in. Chelsea went back to her seat.Chelsea suddenly noticed that Miss Rose had loosened up and there was a mixed look of frustration and hopelessness in her eyes.Miss Rose walked up to Henry.“Mr. Parker!” She began. Her hands were placed behind her and she was standing while addressing Henry, an act of respect.“Yes,” Henry replied and sat up. “Did you figure out anything?”He looked at Miss Rose and studied her countenance. She was displaying fear and shock.She took a deep breath. “To be honest, I didn’t expect you to be the direct heir of the Parker family. My attitude towards you just now was too rude. Please forgive me, I’m sorry.”Chelsea’s eyeballs almo
Mathew wanted to use the international fashion competition as the stepping stone of his family’s growth into the clothing industry. Henry’s first step of counterattack was to make him unable to win the championship.Henry recalled Jean saying that she was going to participate in the competition. The corners of his mouth twitched with excitement when he thought about Jean. As the car sped down to East Street, Henry hugged himself and went back to thinking about Mathew. He was going to allow Mathew to relax for a few days then he won’t give him any chance to be proud in the future.The car stopped moving. The driver turned to Henry. “We have arrived at East Street.”Henry sat up and looked at both sides of the street. It was surrounded by lights and filled with people. East Street was a relatively crowded place in Marylyn City. It was a high-class market without boundaries. It operated 24 hours a day. The reason Henry went there was to buy a car. After Henry sorted the driver, he step
Cindy turned to her colleague and then pointed at Henry. “Look at this scavenger. He wants to buy a car from BTR.”They broke out laughing including the customers. Even though Henry was trying to keep his anger in check, he felt a surge of heat rising inside him. “Are you hard of hearing or is there something wrong with your brain? I said that I’m here to buy a car so introduce me to the collections.” Henry said with his brows furrowing with rage. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Cindy fired back. She palmed her forehead and then shook her head. “You know what? You don’t have to waste my time so just go away.”Henry frowned. “You think that I want to stay here and waste my time with you too?”Cindy gasped. “Excuse me?”Henry sighed. “You’re just a scavenger. What right do you have to be so arrogant?” Cindy went on ranting. Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in a well-tailored suit walked in. One gaze at him and Cindy could tell that he was a rich man. In that instant, Henr
The rich customer who was worthy of Cindy’s attention said nothing. He kept staring at the car keenly. “Would you like to look at other models?” Cindy implied with a determined smile that was willing to please her client at all costs. Cindy’s client plunged his hands inside his pocket and went on staring at the car intensely. She noticed that it was the first time he was taking his time to look at a vehicle. Cindy turned around and saw Regina and Henry beside her. She cleared her throat loudly and faced them. “As you can see, my client seemed to have developed a fondness for this car so I’d appreciate it if you guys excuse me,” Cindy said and shooed them with her hands. Henry frowned. Before he could open his mouth, Regina spoke first. “Mr. Parker, let me show you another car over here.”As a new employee, Regina would not dare to provoke Cindy so her way of salvaging the situation was taking Henry away. She turned around and expected Henry to follow her but he remained transfix
