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
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
