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
Although Berry was saved by Henry, he was still confused. As far as he was concerned, Mathew’s men had captured him and were ready to cripple Henry until things took an unexpected turn. “It’s very simple.” Henry began. “Mathew paid some goons to catch Berry so that they could lure me in. I was the one that they wanted so I paid them more than Mathew did so that I wouldn’t be harmed.” He added with a smile.Berry and Dalton were silent. They knew that Mathew must have paid the thugs a lot of money and now, Henry had bribed them with a higher amount. How much did that cost him?Meanwhile, Berry was slightly shaking. He had not yet recovered from the fear of being kidnapped. He moved to the edge of his bed and sat on it. The way Henry had treated Mathew’s subordinate also scared him. The more he thought about it, the more confused he was about Henry’s identity. Was he a garbage collector or a billionaire playing pretend? Henry turned to Berry. “I’m so sorry that you went through this
