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

Mathew wanted to use the international fashion competition as the stepping stone of his family’s growth into the clothing industry. Henry’s first step of counterattack was to make him unable to win the championship.Henry recalled Jean saying that she was going to participate in the competition. The corners of his mouth twitched with excitement when he thought about Jean. As the car sped down to East Street, Henry hugged himself and went back to thinking about Mathew. He was going to allow Mathew to relax for a few days then he won’t give him any chance to be proud in the future.The car stopped moving. The driver turned to Henry. “We have arrived at East Street.”Henry sat up and looked at both sides of the street. It was surrounded by lights and filled with people. East Street was a relatively crowded place in Marylyn City. It was a high-class market without boundaries. It operated 24 hours a day. The reason Henry went there was to buy a car. After Henry sorted the driver, he step

Cindy turned to her colleague and then pointed at Henry. “Look at this scavenger. He wants to buy a car from BTR.”They broke out laughing including the customers. Even though Henry was trying to keep his anger in check, he felt a surge of heat rising inside him. “Are you hard of hearing or is there something wrong with your brain? I said that I’m here to buy a car so introduce me to the collections.” Henry said with his brows furrowing with rage. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Cindy fired back. She palmed her forehead and then shook her head. “You know what? You don’t have to waste my time so just go away.”Henry frowned. “You think that I want to stay here and waste my time with you too?”Cindy gasped. “Excuse me?”Henry sighed. “You’re just a scavenger. What right do you have to be so arrogant?” Cindy went on ranting. Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in a well-tailored suit walked in. One gaze at him and Cindy could tell that he was a rich man. In that instant, Henr

The rich customer who was worthy of Cindy’s attention said nothing. He kept staring at the car keenly. “Would you like to look at other models?” Cindy implied with a determined smile that was willing to please her client at all costs. Cindy’s client plunged his hands inside his pocket and went on staring at the car intensely. She noticed that it was the first time he was taking his time to look at a vehicle. Cindy turned around and saw Regina and Henry beside her. She cleared her throat loudly and faced them. “As you can see, my client seemed to have developed a fondness for this car so I’d appreciate it if you guys excuse me,” Cindy said and shooed them with her hands. Henry frowned. Before he could open his mouth, Regina spoke first. “Mr. Parker, let me show you another car over here.”As a new employee, Regina would not dare to provoke Cindy so her way of salvaging the situation was taking Henry away. She turned around and expected Henry to follow her but he remained transfix

“And why are you still sitting in that car?” Cindy yelled at Henry. Henry quickly got out of the car the moment the manager fired Regina. He hurried toward her and held her before she could collapse on the floor and break into a torrential overflow of tears. The manager turned to Henry. “Do you know how much it costs to get a car like that thoroughly cleaned up? I’m sure you must have smeared the car with your filth. You must pay 200$ to compensate for the cleaning.”The manager was a small man but his voice rang of authority. “It’s either you pay and we get this car cleaned up or I’ll call the security and ensure that you are handed over to the police.” He told Henry. Cindy’s client moved closer to the manager. “Cleaning the car won’t be enough. No matter how you clean this car, I’ll still be disgusted by it. We need to change the exterior.”“I’m not even sure if he can afford that.” The manager said while looking at Henry. “To get this car cleaned up and thoroughly disinfected, i

While the manager resolved to work on Henry’s transaction papers, Regina was at a corner, too shocked to speak. A few moments later, Cindy came hurrying toward Henry with a rag. She had tied an apron that Henry had seen with one of the janitors. Cindy stood before Henry with a nervous smile. “I’ve cleaned up all the stains and I can guarantee that there are no more stains.”Henry nodded and threw something at her. Cindy caught it. It was a hundred dollars. “Just a tip.” He said. “Thank you for your hard work.”Cindy couldn’t utter a word. She was completely embarrassed by Henry’s tip and when she lifted her head, she saw the way her coworkers were gawking at her. She presented the money back to Henry. “I don’t want this.”“Everyone, get back to work,” Cindy instructed the senior staff. The staff went about their duties while Regina lingered around the staircase, waiting for the manager. Henry didn’t take the money. He leaned on the counter and asked. “Then what do you want?”To

Henry mounted the driver’s seat of his new car and threw his bag pack in the back seat. He started the car and drove straight to school then he swerved down to the dormitory. When Henry drove to the front of his dormitory, the area was almost empty. Only a few people were walking around. It was past 10 pm. Henry grabbed his back, locked the car, and went to his dorm room after parking it. When Henry stepped into the room, all his roommates were asleep, he dumped his bag on the bed, took a hot bath, and retired for the night. ****Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. His eyes caught the ray of sunlight penetrating the room through the open window but it was not what awakened him. He was woken up by a loud noise. Berry was beside Henry’s bed. He began to use all his strength to force Henry to wake up. “Get up. You have to see something.”“Don’t push me too hard, Berry. You’re making me dizzy.” Henry cried out. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with the back

The boys made their way into the dormitory with arms around each other’s shoulders. They took their baths in a hurry, got dressed up, and came running out.“I’m sitting right next to Henry in front,” Berry said, going ahead of the group. He quickly pulled out his phone and threw it at Dalton. “I need you to take pictures of me.”Henry’s phone began to ring. He moved to a corner to respond to the call and two minutes after he left, some group of boys showed up and were hovering like flies around his car.“Why are you guys surrounding my car?” Berry cried out rudely.Some of the students who were just acquainted with the car quickly moved away on the assumption that Berry was the owner of the car while the ones who knew him were quick to mock him.“Berry, I never knew that you could act so pretentiously.” Someone said.The others laughed.“Get away from my car. I don’t want losers around my property.” Berry maintained while trying to shoo them with his hands.Jacob and Dalton exchanged

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

The Zenith Gala was nothing short of spectacular.The grand ballroom of the city's most prestigious venue was adorned with opulent chandeliers and elegant floral arrangements.Guests from all walks of high society mingled, sipping champagne and discussing the latest trends.It was the kind of event that showcased power and influence, and tonight, Dream Angel was about to perform in front of the city’s elite. 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. Tan joined them, his usual calm demeanor laced with excitement.“Alright, girls. This is it. The spotlight is yours. Remember everything you’ve practiced, and you’ll be unforgettable.” Jessica gave a confident nod, her leadership naturally shined through.“We’ve got this, Tan. Right, girls?” “Yes!” they chorused,Though Tammy’s voice was softer than the others. The lights dimm

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.
