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?”

    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

    When Rufus pushed open the door that led into the suite he had reserved for the group, everyone felt like they had entered the Garden of Eden. The entire surrounding gave the feeling of a natural forest and the plants stood tall like a bamboo forest. Cute white rabbits were running on the grass and right in front of everyone was a lake.None of them had ever thought that there was a suite like an island in Star Moon. There was a huge table in the center of the room carved out of the finest Amazon wood. The room was surrounded by a transparent glass wall. From the lake, one could see the city because the suite was at the top of the skyscraper.It was a typical paradise on earth and everyone was shocked. After a long time, they began to cry out, exclaiming over the beauty of the suite. Rufus was pleased by the looks on their faces.

    “What are you guys talking about?” Aida asked after taking an aggressive bite from her red apple.Jean took a sip from her warm milk. “Ancient clothes.” She crossed her legs.Courtney sat by the edge of the enormous bouncy bed. “What’s so good about ancient clothes anyway?”Jean wanted to reply but Aida was already speaking.“Since there’s a lake here, I was wondering if you could come with us to have fun.” She turned in the direction of the boys and darted her gaze back to Henry with a smile. “Your friends seem to enjoying breakfast so maybe we should have fun in the lake.”Courtney took over. “Yes. Since it’s easy to get anything here, you can just have the servants bring us some bikinis.”Jean grabbed a plate of berries.Meanwhile, Dalton could hear the girls and he was irked by the fact that Aida and Courtney wanted Henry to see them in bikinis.“There’s no need. I no longer have time for the lake.” Henry smiled.Dalton let out a chuckle.Henry fixated his gaze on Jean. “I think y

    “Are you crazy? Can’t you watch you’re going?”When Henry lifted his head, he saw a middle-aged man gawking at him. It was the man he had bumped into. The man’s ferocious eyes felt like sharp knives on Henry’s body.As far as Henry was concerned, the man was at fault because he left the door to the restroom open. The man began to hurl insults at Henry and when Henry tried to ignore him and walk past, the man wouldn’t move away.The middle-aged man was drunk.“Shut the fuck up. Your mouth stinks.” Henry fired back.“Fuck!” the man yelled. His eyes were bloodshot and they looked as if he had been drinking all year round.The man clenched his fist and threw a punch at Henry but unfortunately, he had been drinking so his stamina was in no way compared to Henry’s. Henry moved away and the helpless punch landed in thin air.Before the man could reinforce another punch, Henry bent his upper body and kicked the man on the tummy with his knee. The man bent over like a shrimp and tried to stret

    As far as Bella knew, Coral Group is worth about 30 billion dollars. How could Henry get the CEO of such a huge company in such a cruel situation?Henry turned to the chief guard. “Seize that man and break his legs and as for that woman.” He looked at Bella with a malicious stare. She instantly fell to her knees and began to beg. “Henry, I’m so sorry. I swear to God if you let me go, I would never provoke you.”While the guards grabbed Bella’s godfather, he wouldn’t shut up. “You dared to arrest the CEO of Coral Group? Who are you?” the man was shocked and angry. The man went on shouting but the security guards did not care. Since Henry had given the orders, they swung into action. The man and his bodyguards were bundled and forced to the ground.Henry towered before the man. “You don’t deserve to know who I am. You just have to know that I’m someone you can’t mess with.” He was about to leave when he turned around with his index finger raised. “Also, tell Mathew to enjoy the last

He rolled his eyes and thought of an idea.“Matt! I have an idea.”****As one of the school core officials, Jean had an independent room that she dedicated to storing her designs. Henry followed her into the quiet room.Jean moved to the closet and pulled out a batch of clothes. She presented them to Henry. “These are the female clothes I designed a long time ago. I designed them according to the four seasons. It’s not a complete replica but it has elements of modern fashion from experts.” She said.Henry took the clothes with grace and proceeded to look

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

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.

    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

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!

    “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.
