Mathew smiled. “Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that these two won’t have a good time today.” He turned to the model. “By the way, what idea do you have?”The model leaned closely and began to whisper inside his left ear. After listening for a while, the corners of Mathew’s mouth revealed the trace of a smile. He nodded repeatedly. “This is so good. I think I should leave this matter to you to handle then.”“I won’t disappoint you.” She promised with a determined smile. ****Henry had no idea what kind of trick Mathew was going to pull. Even if he knew, he wasn’t ready to take it to heart. It was a memorable day for Jean and Henry was determined to make it count. After Jean had written down her details in the registration book, a room was assigned to her. Henry led her there and she crashed on the edge of the bed after heaving a deep sigh. Henry decided to give her a few moments to calm down before they could start preparing for the competition. “What’s wrong with you?” He a

The model was already fuming. Looking at the guards with authority burning in her eyes, she lifted her index finger and said. “If you guys don’t do as you’re told, I assure you that I’ll speak to your boss and have you fired.”Henry smiled. He turned to the model. “Those who don’t know better will think that you’re the boss of the hotel.”She folded her slender arms across her chest and looked at Henry intensely. “You have no right to speak to me that way. How can you be so arrogant? What right do you have to talk to me” she went on screaming on top of her voice.Before the hotel guards could blink, Mathew’s guards had pushed them away and were hurrying toward Henry and Jean in their bit to arrest them. The hotel chief guard roared. “How dare you touch him?”The model was dumbfounded.Henry pulled Jean away from the commotion. They stood beside the hotel security guards. He looked at the stunned model and shook his head. “Davina, your tricks are so childish.”The model was stunned t

Immediately after Thomas stepped out, he wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead with a handkerchief. He had not expected to meet the direct heir of the Parker family so unexpectedly. Thomas was not just any fashion legend. He directly worked for the Parker family. He had been designing their branded clothing for over twenty years.If Henry got angry, Thomas knew that his grand career might die instantly. ***The defeated Davina made her way into Mathew’s suite like a chicken that was struck by lightning. When the other model and Mathew noticed her expression, they knew that there was a fire on the mountain.Davina then poured out her heart to them and by the time she was done, Mathew’s eyes were widened in horror. “What? Henry is the owner of this hotel and Thomas is helping him?” Mathew asked in disbelief. Henry had not stopped blowing his mind with different surprises.“Mathew, Thomas is the chief judge.” The other model turned to Mathew. She was looking worried.Mathe

While Davina and her colleagues climbed the stage, they put their game face on and began walking down the stage like pros. A round of applause accompanied every step they took. Scores of models reappeared and as they made their way to the stage, one by one, the applause intensified. Below the stage, Henry was standing at a distance, ensuring he caught a glimpse of the display of every contestant. When Davina turned left, she saw Henry looking at her group’s display. She held her head higher and gave him a proud look that says Did you see that?Henry sighed. He’ll just let her be proud for a while. Davina smirked and turned to the judges with a smile. After that, the models were led down the stage by the fashion head of the Coral group who stood in as the designer. Then, it was contestant number two’s turn. Jean and Henry were already dressed so immediately they were called, they held hands and aimed for the stage confidently. When they climbed the stage, they looked at each othe

Then, two other judges who did not agree with Thomas suddenly stood up in solidarity with Mitchell. “I do not agree with Mr. Thomas’s decision.” Said the young woman who was the first to stand up. She was speaking calmly and gracefully in such a way that one would think she wasn’t making a counter. The audience went into an uproar. Mathew had a group of his hostile audience in the group so immediately after the woman stood up, they swung into action. The scene instantly turned chaotic and Henry wasn’t surprised.To Thomas’s surprise, two more judges sprung up, displaying their lack of agreement with his decision to crown Jean as sensational fashion designer of the year. Now, five out of ten of the judges were standing against Thomas. This kind of thing had never happened before. Usually, judges will have a deliberation and once a consensus is reached, the chief judge will speak on their behalf which was exactly what Thomas did.Now that the woman had the attention of everyone and

Jean didn’t know whether she was overreacting or not but for a moment, she sensed some form of regret in the eyes of some of the judges as they took their seats. “Ladies and gentlemen, join me as we welcome Davina on behalf of the Coral group to give a winning speech.” The host said and turned to Davina with his right hand stretched out. Davina felt on top of the world. This was her kind of moment. Such moments made her the star of the show. She made her way to the host with a proud smile. So far, Davina has won three international competitions as a model. To the fashion industry, this represented endless glory and status. She held her head high with the notion that in the future, she would be the queen of the modeling industry. As for Jean and Henry, the host had completely forgotten about them. No directive was given to them and Jean was already contemplating leaving the stage. The winning model was about to make a speech after all. Suddenly, a man came running toward Mathew at

Mathew was waiting for Henry to grab Jean and get off the stage so that everybody could see that they had been defeated by him. He wanted Henry to feel like a loser and leave with a dejected look on his face. However, to Mathew’s surprise, after Henry was scolded by him, Henry still looked at him with a calm expression and Mathew was irked. None of the audience seated in front laughed at Henry as Mathew wanted. “You cheated. You know right?” Henry said. “And so fucking what?” Mathew boasted and hit his chest. “If you have the guts then go and cheat as well.” He then broke into a dry laugh. “What? You don’t have enough money to bribe the judges? I thought you were some rich heir.”Henry chuckled and shook his head. “Busted!”Mathew arched a brow. Henry was the only one who heard him so what was he blabbering about? When Mathew looked around, he saw that everyone’s gaze was fixated on him. “What? Was Davina’s PowerPoint presentation so catching?” He asked no one in particular and t

Davina looked at the screen and had only one thought in her heart. She was finished. Right next to her was the so-called chief designer of the Coral Group fashion company. He lowered his head in shame. Now, the world will know that they buy their designs from the local market and sell them at exorbitant prices in the company’s shop. The coral fashion company since its operation began in the past few months had been exploiting local designers and sometimes applied threats when the designers refused to comply. “Get the hell out of here. You don’t deserve to stand on that stage. You’re a fraud!” Someone shouted at Davina. The audience went hostile again. At this point, the evidence was conclusive and Mathew could not deny it. When, where, and how the videos were made were things he had no idea of. Everyone below the stage was looking at Mathew and he was instantly covered in cold sweat. He couldn’t bear to look at the faces of the audience because he knew that he’d be greeted with a

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
