DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 24
Henry stepped out and was about to follow the boys into the busy bar when he noticed a famous black Benz parked on the other side of the street. “You guys should go in first. I’ll join you later.” Henry said and turned away. He was about to head toward the vehicle. “Hey, you don’t have to run away.” Berry cried out. “Are you sure you’re not running away from Bella?” During his short meetings with Nate in the past few days, Henry had come to recognize Nate’s car. Henry smiled. “Trust me guys. This has nothing to do with me running away. I just need a moment.”Jacob was already standing by the door. “What are you guys still doing outside? All the cool spots are going to be taken.”Dalton and Berry reluctantly followed Jacob into the bar. When Jacob stepped in, he was greeted by Aida, and standing beside her were two members of the Fantastic Four group. Molly had stepped out. The girls exchanged pleasantries with Jacon and blushed when he complimented their outfits. Aida grabbed

“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

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
