DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 53
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

Henry drove the car outside the school perimeter and took the straight path ahead. Apart from Jean, the other girls were also analyzing the situation, wondering whether the car was Henry’s since he was behind the wheel.“Whose car is this?” Courtney asked.“It’s Henry’s car,” Berry replied proudly.“What?” the girls exclaimed except Jean.Jacob was feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart. His family had not bought him a car yet and even if they do, it won’t be a luxurious car like Henry’s. He felt more uncomfortable when he realized that Aida seemed elated.“Henry!” Aida called out. “Did you win a lottery?”Henry gave a half smile, said nothing, and took a sharp turn.Berry turned to Aida. “You think that this is lottery money? That won’t be enough. Let me tell you, Henry has tens of millions.”Henry wished he could get Berry to shut up. Perhaps, sharing the information about his identity with Berry was a bad idea.The girls looked stunned.When Aida looked at Henry from the back, sh

Micheal flipped the card and turned to Henry and Kelvin with disbelief in his eyes. He felt as if he was living in a dreamland.How did Henry, a trash collector buy a car worth a million dollars? Wondered Micheal. He looked intensely at Henry again and concluded that he had underestimated the value of Henry’s clothes and cologne. If he had imagined that Henry’s life turned better, it was now evident that it changed for the better.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stretched his hand toward Micheal. “My card, please.”Micheal passed the card to Henry with a trembling hand. He was tempted to ask Henry where he got so much money from. Throughout his years of working at the car shop, Micheal had barely saved 50,000 dollars so he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of job Henry had in Marylyn.Originally, Micheal felt a sense of superiority before Henry but now that the transaction was complete, the sense of superiority instantly became that of inferiority.Micheal’s heart was instantly f

Greenville was a small town and the occupants knew each other so news about the demolition was now an agenda in the town.Henry nodded and said nothing.Micheal concluded that Henry was very worried about the matter that’s why he couldn’t even comment on it.“Don’t be anxious.” Micheal started the comfort Henry. “Didn’t people on the old street go to confront the developers? Be positive. I’m sure that there’ll be changes.”Henry nodded again. “It’s just about time. Everything will be fixed once the ownership of the Holiday real estate company changes hands.”Micheal looked at Henry with a quirked brow. His confusion was growing. Were the developers planning to sell their company? Micheal could not imagine that. Everyone knew Ryan Holiday as a big sky that could cover the entire town with his glory and the company was his fortress.Henry saw Micheal looking at him with a blank expression so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Why don’t we look at the cars first?”“Right!” Michea

Kelvin and Henry finally settled for a business car which was spacious enough to accommodate twenty passengers. “Let’s go and get it,” Henry said and stood up. Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you mean right now?”“Don’t worry about the urgency,” Henry replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen and instructed Hailey to look after the children then he went to meet Kelvin by the door. There was only one car shop in the entire city. So instead of going in his car, Henry requested that they walk to the spot. “It’s a way of exercising.” He had said. As they made their way toward the car store, Henry looked at the old street carefully. The more he studied the area, the more he realized that it was tearing into pieces and the environment felt odd for him. He had three years’ worth of memory there and he couldn’t help but imagine how the neighbors who were forced out of the area felt despite being attached to the place all their lives. “You bought all the houses. What are you going to

Chapter 192The other men opened their eyes and when they saw Betty and Tiny Tim in the room, they began to tremble with fear. They were so scared that they wet themselves on the bed. Henry had already explained to Betty and Tiny Tim their role at the hospital. Kyiv was so scared that his whole body was trembling. The sight of Betty and Tiny Tim in the room instantly gave him post-traumatic stress disorder. It was barely two days after their last encounter. Betty giggled and moved closer to Kyiv. “I’m not here to teach you a lesson. Our employer ordered us to come here because he had something to tell you.”After hearing that they weren’t there to finish him off as he expected, Kyiv heaved several sighs of relief. “Go ahead!” He said. Betty folded her arms across her chest and began. “My employer sends his sympathy. We heard that Ryan Holiday abandoned you guys. Although you guys offended my employer’s family in the past, he had always been clear about his intentions. Your boss ha

In the future, Henry was going to return to his biological family and by that time, he’d be further away from his Greenville family so he needed to empower them as soon as he could. As long as he could support Kelvin to take charge of the family, Henry knew that he could be anywhere and his mind would be at ease. The Holiday Real Estate Company was considered a top company in Greenville. If Kelvin controls such a company, ordinary people would not be able to offend him hence the Potter family would remain safe so that’s why Henry wanted to secure the spot. After Kelvin agreed, Henry turned to Betty. “You know what to do.”Betty stood up and cleaned her hands with a napkin. “Yes sir.” She nodded and left. ***The entire Holiday real estate company was in a mess. Even though the people at the old street were gone, Ryan had stationed guards around the company because the people might return at any time. All the employees were forced to sleep over at work that night. Even though it wa

When Henry woke up the next day, he was greeted by the events that took place at the Holiday real estate site. According to Kelvin, the neighbors on the old street who protested had an intense conflict with the employers of the company. Although Ryan had threatened the photographers and reporters from taking multimedia clips of the situation, the people did their job and as it stands, everything that was captured had been uploaded on the internet. “Look!” Kelvin said and passed his phone to Henry.When Henry watched the video, he broke into an intense laughter. There was no denying that the conflict was a heated one. These were the same people who had hidden in the past but now, every one of them was as powerful as a mad tiger; all thanks to the 2 million dollars Henry had promised each of them. In the video, Henry saw how the people roared and shook the gates violently. The employees of the company could not stop them at all. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the protesters pushed t

After the people were gone, Kelvin turned to Henry. “I agree with what you’ve done. It will be difficult for them to reverse the agreement but they can go ahead and try. These people are very hateful. Where were they when we were fighting the developers? Now they finally dare to fight back because of the 2 million they could get?” Kelvin spat and shook his head with contempt. Henry smiled and turned to the children. “Come, let’s get inside.”Kelvin and Hailey led everyone into the house. Although Mr. Potter’s house was in a bad state, the area of the house was not small. There were cracks on the wall and the paintings had faded but there was enough space for the children to sleep and play around. Kelvin took the children to their rooms to make their beds and do their morning chores which they couldn’t do earlier due to the excitement of having breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Hailey noticed the way Henry was surveying the living room. She walked up to him. “The place is old and sma

Kyiv was the most disappointed among the group. He had served Ryan Holiday for so many years and he had been working extra hard to prove himself. It was the demolition; a project handed over to him by Ryan himself that made him crippled but Ryan didn’t just refuse to pay for his treatment. He also dumped him. Kyiv shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Ryan, I curse you and all your generations to come.” He screamed out of despair.***Henry and the children were done having breakfast. They were now on their way back to their home on the old street. When the cars pulled toward the house, Henry and the others saw a large group of people blocking the entrance. As they drove closer to the house, June turned to Henry. “I don’t know what these people are looking for so we should avoid them.”Henry pulled down the reflectors and looked closely at the group. He turned to June with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. They are all neighbors of the old street.”The cars finally came to a halt an

After getting his teeth extracted, Ryan had an artificial one placed back there and immediately after he walked out of the clinic, he reached out for his phone and placed a call to his favorite subordinate.“Kyiv, where are you now!” Ryan yelled over the phone after his call was responded to. Kyiv was Ryan’s most loyal and capable subordinate. With the help of Kyiv, Ryan was able to achieve a lot of operations not worthy of mentioning. Kyiv sighed over the phone. “I need you to get your ass over here!” Ryan went on yelling. “I have a job for you.” As far as Ryan was concerned, only a man like Kyiv could handle Henry. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s voice was calm. “I’m in an emergency room at the hospital right now.” He replied and groaned afterward. Ryan was surprised when he heard Kyiv moaning over the phone in pain. “Which hospital is that and why are you in an emergency room in the first place ?” Ryan asked. “The community dispensary on Barett Street,” Kyiv responded. Ryan immediately h
