“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

    “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

    As the days passed, Dream Angel threw themselves into intense rehearsals.Tan pushed them harder than ever, fine-tuning every detail of their performance. Tammy found herself growing closer to Henry during this time.He often visited their rehearsals, offering encouragement and advice—even though he admitted he had no knowledge of music. One evening, after a particularly grueling session, Tammy lingered in the rehearsal room, practicing a solo piece Tan had suggested. “You’re still here,” Henry’s voice startled her. Tammy turned, surprised to see him leaning against the doorway.“I wanted to get this part right.” Henry stepped closer, his presence commanding yet oddly comforting.“You’ve already done well. Don’t be too hard on yourself.” Tammy hesitated before asking,“Why do you believe in us so much? In me?” Henry’s gaze softened.“Because I see potential in you, Tammy. You remind me of… someone I once knew. Someone who never gave up, no matter how hard things got.” Tammy fe

    “Let them come, Lester,” he murmured to himself.“You’ll find out soon enough that I’m not someone you can defeat.”Just then, a call came in.It was the governor.Henry smirked as he picked the call.“Governor Ramirez, long time.” Henry said politely.“Mr… Mr. Parker, I was surprised when your assistant placed a call last nigh. Is there something you need?” Ramirez cautiously said.Not everyone in Marian city knew who this young master was but he knew.He is the direct heir to the Parker family group.No one must dare to offend him unless they want to die.He broke a sweat when he thought about this and waited patiently for Henry’s request.“Mr. Ramirez, I want all the Mine stations in Marian. Now, don’t get me wrong… It’s not for free, of course I’ll pay as much as you want.” Henry said casually.For Henry, money was never a problem.The governor gasped, those were sold to Lester years back.His hands began to shiver.Lester would definitely kill him.But if he should offend this bo

    “Sir, you have a call from home.”Home? Henry wondered.Then he quickly collected the phone.“Mr. Sam?” Henry said as he addressed the man on the phone.The man hesitantly said,“Your grandfather is in the hospital. He needs to you.” the man said briskly.Mr. Sam was the Parker family’s butler.He had worked with them for years, long before Henry was even born.Henry sighed deeply“I’ll make time for it.” henry said as he hung up the phone.“Sir? Should I make arrangements?” June asked carefully.Henry’s expression now was not so good.“First thing tomorrow. Cancel the meetings I have and inform Tiny Tim, Betty and the others.”Dream Angel’s performance at the Zenith Gala became the talk of the city overnight.Videos of their stunning performance flooded social media, garnering thousands of views and glowing comments.Tammy, Jessica, Sasha, and Elena basked in the success, but they knew this was just the start of a long journey.Sasha, Elena, and Tammy all grinned ear to ear as they r

Backstage, Tammy stood with Jessica, Sasha, and Elena.The weight of the moment settled heavily on her shoulders,But she reminded herself of Henry’s words: Challenges are meant to be faced, not feared.

    Henry entered the rehearsal room with June.Lenard and the trainers were also rushing around to prepare things and make sure everything goes smoothly.Everyone was tensed.Chelsea had also been on call since daybreak trying to make sure everything goes well.When they all saw henry, they stopped in their tracks.Chelsea sighed tiredly.“Henry… It’s good to see you.” she said playfully.The others also quickly bowed to him before they quickly went back to what they were doing.Henry smiled at Chelsea and the others“Good to see you and the progress you are making here.” Henry said with a smile.Ever since they bought the Cloud haven building and Star-moon entertainment officially became a company, his employees even Chelsea and the others responded to him differently.He was now the chairman of their entertainment company and should be accorded with respect and seriousness He scanned the group, his sharp eyes landing on Tammy, who quickly sat up straighter.“This is an important oppor

    Henry’s lips twitched in amusement.His gaze shifted to Tammy, and he felt his breath cease for just a momentTammy could swear that she saw tenderness and care in his eyes for a momentBut Henry quickly composed himself,“And Tammy? How are you finding things so far?” Tammy’s cheeks flushed under his direct gaze.“I’m... learning a lot, sir. It’s been challenging, but I’m grateful for the opportunity.” Henry nodded, his sharp eyes assessing her.“Good. Challenges are meant to be faced, not feared. I believe you have what it takes, don’t doubt yourself.”Henry glanced at her pretty big innocent eyesThey looked tired.He then nodded at everyone else and asked June to bring a cup of coffee.His words however, settled over Tammy like a warm blanket.Across the city, in a lavish penthouse apartment, Lester was back from his trip to the West house and felt agitated.Seeing Kiss Holiday, he grabbed her chin and kissed her roughly.Kiss sighed in her heart.This monster is back again.But

    “Is the owner of the Eden house called Henry?” he asked.Kiss Holiday said, “Yes! That’s him. How did you know?”“How could I not know? He has offended me once or twice. I want to settle old score with him.” Lester said coldly.Kiss Holiday was secretly delighted in her heart.This man was in big trouble now.“I have to go the West house first. It’s not too late to wait until I come back.” then he added.Kiss Holiday’s face was filled with sadness.She thought Lester would avenge her immediately.“Lester, how long will you be gone for? Can I not come?” she said as she tried to rub his belly.Lester shook her hands off,“Know your place, woman. As for Henry, let him enjoy himself for now. When I get back, I’ll deal with him.”In Lester’s eyes, Kiss Holiday was just a play thing and could not interfere with his matters.Kiss also clearly knew about her position in her heart.When she saw that Lester was angry, her heart skipped a bit.She understood that she had said the wrong thing acc

    When Tan saw that their voices was all warmed up, he gave them the three original songs. Then he faced Henry,“Mr. Parker, let them sing the complete version on the stage. I will carefully consider it.” Tan said.“Alright. You guys go.” Henry said to the four girls.Jessica and the others had just seen these songs and were not familiar with them yet. However, they did not need to stress since this wasn’t a formal performance.After all, the reason Tan asked them to go on the stage was to give detailed guidance.The four of them took the music score and walked to the stage.They first talked to the band to let them practice their accompaniment.When everything was ready, they started singing.The pleasant melody and song shocked everyone.“Is this Mr. henry’s new song? It’s good to hear.”“This is a golden song!”“Jessica sings really well. The others also cooperated really well.”“I know! When the song is released, it will be a hit.”Henry seemed infatuated as he stared at Tammy from

    “I’ll send the songs to you once I get the money and will quickly go abroad to hide. Otherwise, if Lester makes a move, I won’t be able to take it.” Tan said in a low voice.Henry waved his hand and said,“Why are you afraid of mere Lester? Today’s matter is also because of me. I can’t just watch you get bullied. Don’t worry, Lester is not a big figure in my eyes. I’ll deal with him.”This was the first time Tan had encountered Henry Parker and he still didn’t know about Henry’s background so he didn’t dare to believe all his words.“I don’t dare to trouble you. I think it’s just best that I go out to hide for a while.” Tan said.“You don’t believe me, do you?” Henry asked with a faint smile.“I….” Tan tried to say something.“I have a suggestion. Since you are so afraid of Lester, why don’t you come to my company for good? I’ll hire you as the company’s chief composer. your annual salary will be five million and the songs will be calculated separately.”Tan looked Henry in surprise.
