DESTINED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 80
Henry arched a brow. “I have offended you before so working for you will grant me the opportunity to earn your dignity and make atonements for my past crimes,” Tucker said. Henry realized that Tucker was very smart. He must have figured out that working for the Parker family was better than the money and status he was being offered. Since the Coral group was heading for the rocks, Tucker was bent on securing employment in another renowned place to keep up with his luxurious life. Sooner or later, he knew that the Coral group was going to lay off staff and even though he was president of the company, Tucker knew that he wasn’t an exception. Now, Tucker wouldn’t mind being just a subordinate of the Parker family compared to his previous position as President of the coral group. As long as Henry had a high status, ditching the ten million meant nothing to him. Henry responded with repeated nods. “Tucker, I think that you’re a smart person. Unfortunately, you’re not smart enough.”T

Mathew was about to give a response when the butler in his oversized coat came hurrying towards them. “What’s the matter, Nicholas? Didn’t I make it clear that I wanted privacy with my son?” Walter asked the butler with his brows furrowing in anger. “Some people are here. It’s an emergency.” Nicholas replied. Suddenly, a group of men formally dressed in black suits made their way into the room. Two of them stood behind their boss whose pronounced feature was his curly golden hair. The man with the golden hair took out an ID and flashed it. “My name is Warren. We are from the Internal Revenue Service. The coral group has been reported for tax evasion.”Walter dismissed the butler with his hand. Mathew and his father exchanged glances and the same magnitude of fear crossed their hearts. When Nicholas closed the doors leading into the living room, Mathew’s heart rattled with fear. It was barely 8 am and dealing with another huge business problem was not what he envisioned. Math

Walter gave Mathew a stern look. “This is the second time you’re mentioning the name Henry. Did you just say, Henry Parker? I hope you haven’t offended anyone, Mathew.”Mathew flared up. “That boy has been ruining my plans time and time again. I hate him so much and wanted to teach him a lesson.”Walter sighed. It was evident that Mathew was the cause of his misfortune but that was not a discussion they’d have in front of everyone. He turned to Warren. “If you think 10 million is not enough, then how about twenty million.” His voice was no longer low. He had wanted all the officers to hear so that they might convince Warren. He then faced the officers. “Twenty million dollars will leave each of you with about 2 million each. Think of it. No one is going to throw such money at you guys on a regular day.”Warren broke into a dry laugh and Walter was puzzled.Warren then moved closer to Walter and bridged the space between them. He was now standing so close to Walter that air could bare

The man reached his hand in his bid to grab Chelsea again but Henry quickly slapped the man’s hand away from Chelsea. “Can’t you see that she doesn’t want you to touch her? Let go of her.” Said Henry.“Who are you?” The man thundered. “Why do you think you can meddle in my affairs? Get lost this minute!” he shooed Henry. The man hadn’t noticed Henry at all until he was countered by him.While the man was speaking, Henry noticed his cigarette-infested teeth.The man stood in front of Chelsea and began to scream. “Do you think 200,000 is easy to come by? Fine. I’ll give you 300,000. Use a hundred thousand as sponsorship for the school project and keep the rest to yourself.”“I’m not interested,” Chelsea replied.The man burned with rage. He wasn’t used to getting turned down.“How much are you worth anyway? Do you know that with 300,000 dollars I can get tons of models at my disposal?” he yelled at Chelsea.Unwilling to give up, the man stretched out his hand toward Chelsea.Henry was s

The revelation came as a shock to Chelsea. She had recently found out that Henry was rich but she didn’t expect that he would turn out to be the owner of the only five-star hotel in Marylyn. Henry smiled. He noticed that she was holding a document which he assumed was the proposal for the event. He stretched his hand to retrieve the proposal. When Chelsea handed it over to him, Henry began to flip through the pages. “This 3-day camping on the mountain top is not just for sightseeing.” Chelsea began. “It’s a campaign to protect the natural environment. With the help of tour guides, we will explore the mountains and their environs.”Henry nodded. “Sounds great. I’d like to be a part of it. Do inform me when the time comes.”Chelsea smiled. “Of course.”“As part of our sponsorship, we shall provide food from the hotel, medicine, emergency health workers, and transportation,” Henry told Chelsea. “That’s too much.” She cried out. “The sponsorship money you guys are willing to provide w

A few moments later, Henry stepped out of the bathroom and met Berry and Dalton right where he left them. He walked to his closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a coffee tee shirt. “During the competition that day, I saw Mathew win the championship and I was so furious,” Berry said. Henry slipped his shirt on and turned around. “It was a dramatic event.” He replied. Dalton nodded in agreement. “Dramatic indeed and we weren’t surprised when that video of Mathew was played. In the end, what matters is that you and Jean turned out victorious.”Berry stood up and laughed. “You should have seen the look on Mathew’s face when the host snatched the trophy from that model and handed it over to Jean. I felt like appearing in the scene at that moment.”Henry smiled. “He thought he was going to win but he didn’t know that I had my way around the whole situation. Dealing with someone like Mathew was a piece of cake.”Dalton grabbed his bag and began to slip his books inside. He turned to H

Even though June’s countenance was cold, the whole class created applause because she was such a beautiful girl. “Stop staring at her.” Berry hit Henry on the left shoulder playfully. “You already have Jean already.”Henry smiled and shook his head. Dalton couldn’t take his eyes off June. “She’s such a beautiful goddess. She’s so perfect. I want to pursue her.”“Careful. Your eyes might roll out.” Berry cautioned Dalton with a smile. Dan cleared his throat loudly. It was an act he was very fond of. “Guys, June just recently got transferred so we must take care of her.” He then turned to June. “Why don’t you go and find a seat?” As June made her way toward the first row, some group of boys couldn’t stop calling out to her. “Come and sit right next to me. It’s empty.”“You should sit on my side. I smell so nice.” Another boy said. June stooped between the two boys calling out to her. When they saw that she was about to sit next to one of them, they began to argue. “Didn’t you

Henry went back to the canteen and ordered some food. A few moments later, he returned to June and handed over a pack to her. “Come and sit with me. Let’s eat. You don’t have to worry over anything.”June followed Henry to one of the empty booths and sat facing him. After placing the pack of pasta and liver sauce in front of her, June began eating without lifting her head for a second. Some group of boys who followed June to the canteen wanted to approach her but when she lifted her head and looked at them coldly, they backed down. With lowered heads, the boys began to whisper to each other as they moved away. “Such a beautiful girl. I’ve never seen her around here before.”One of the boys who was wearing a red shirt turned to look at Henry and June’s table. “That boy she’s sitting with. His name is Henry. I learned that he’s a super rich heir.”“The luxury car belongs to him.” Said the other boy. Soon, the boys were talking about Henry’s relationship with Jean. They talked abou

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
