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
“200,000 thousand? Is that all?” Henry said with a bright smile. As far as he was concerned, that was very cheap. He put his hand inside his bag and pulled out the exact amount. He placed it on the counter and tossed it towards her after a wink. The beautiful young woman took the cash and jumped down from her stool with a smile. “Boy, wait for me for a minute.” She then walked away. Henry reached for his glass of wine and took a sip as he waited on the beauty. He wasn’t the kind of person that would want to cause suffering to anyone but since Mathew had stepped on his toes, he was ready to prove to him that he was someone that couldn’t be trifled with. Meanwhile, Henry was skeptical about being the first to exert revenge on Mathew maybe until he had initiated another move. Coming to the Eye of Dark Knight center was his first move in counter-attacking. Mathew was an arrogant heir who relied on his family’s prominence and wealth to survive. If his family name was put aside, he was
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
