The man was about to speak, but Susan quickly raised her hand to stop him."You imbecile," Susan said, her voice filled with anger. "This is my son, the heir to the White Group. I won't allow any disrespect towards him. Please leave right now. I can't stand being around you anymore."The man suddenly understood what was going on, and his attitude shifted from being arrogant to surprised.He glanced at Henry and noticed the anger on his face. It finally dawned on him what he said. Without saying anything, the man pulled out a chair, feeling defeated, and sat down. His confidence was replaced by a feeling of acceptance."But Susan, I never knew..." the man attempted to explain, rising from his seat, his voice tinged with regret.Susan swiftly interrupted him, her tone firm and uncompromising. "Just leave. We will discuss this when I'm in the mood."He opened his mouth to speak once more, but Susan held up a hand, silencing him. The man found himself at a loss for words. Closing his mout
As Henry followed Priscilla down the hallway, a flash of color ahead caught his eye. He paused, doing a double take. Surely it couldn't be...Even from a distance, there was no mistaking Clara's vivid purple jacket and crimson hair. She sat across from a young woman who could only be her cousin Martha. Their cart was piled high with cosmetics and tools in this high-class section. Henry frowned at it. When did she have such money to afford products at Starry Cosmetics? Of course, Henry knew that Clara was rich, but definitely not to this extent....especially now that her family business keeps perishing. Or did she use up her life savings?Curious, Henry turned to Susan. "What brings Clara and her cousin sister here today? I thought you would have shown the security guards their pictures not to let them into your store. That is what you should have done, mum."She averted her eyes from his gaze, knowing she made that mistake, and had to correct it. With a sigh, she walked past him towar
"Nothing," Henry scoffed, shaking his head dismissively. He could feel her gaze on him, but he refused to acknowledge it."I understand what you're trying to say," she said calmly, "but you're mistaken. He had a wife, and he loved her dearly. Sadly, she passed away in a tragic car crash."His eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Woah, why does it seem like everyone these days is dying in car crashes?" Susan shrugged, her eyes scanning the room anxiously. She couldn't help but feel on edge. "I don't know," she replied. "And speaking of which, where is Priscilla?" Her gaze shifted to the space behind him, searching for any sign of her presence.She spotted her outside the door. Henry didn't even realize she was there all the while.Susan extended an inviting smile. "Don't tell me you've been standing there, love. Please, come in," she said warmly, gesturing for Priscilla to enter. Priscilla lowered her head in a humble bow and stepped inside. "I didn't want to interrupt your conversation wit
Henry pushed open the heavy glass doors, as a blast of chilled air that greeted him and Priscilla as they stepped into ReLock Plaza. It was a luxury boutique that held high-class, designer outfits and were patronized by prestigious women.Bright, shining displays and mannequins dressed in the latest fashions stretched as far as the eye could see down the long hallway. Priscilla tugged at Henry. "Come on, let's check out that accessories boutique first." She pulled him past glass boxes filled with lots of expensive jewelry like diamonds, sapphires, and gold.Henry glanced at them, feeling uncertain. Susan had a vault full of jewelry that she never wore. She would appreciate something more special and meaningful.Inside the accessories store, there were lines of handbags, scarves, and sunglasses calling out to Henry.Priscilla ran her hands over the smooth leather and silk, picking out a few things to show Henry. He gazed at all the clothes but couldn't see a suitable one to select. T
Immediately he then put on a Straight face, as he placed the heels back but she stopped him."Hey, I can pay for this and you will lose your job how about that?" Henry muttered as the sales man smirked."Is this how to dress to a well respected jewelry store? Like someone who's gonna run a bank for real? And I think your girlfriend whatsoever should have some manners or else" "Or else what dude?" She frowned her face and began coming closer to him, she was about to punch him on the face when Henry stopped her from further going closer to him.He could clearly see how the sales person looked surprised, he shook his head looking at her. "Take up this heels Mr Man and package it, then follow us to the counter, how about that?" Henry folded his hands on his chest as he said then waited for him to respond then he nodded his head.Henry really didn't know what was in his mind that he agreed, he was thinking that maybe, he would ignore them.After he was done packaging it, he began to foll
"I think we should come down and check what's wrong" Priscilla muttered as Henry can down from the car, he walked towards his fuel tank to check if it's truly finished as soon as he opened he sighed. He opened his car boot and brought a keg of fuel then began it into the fuel tank, when he was done he emptied the keg and threw it inside the car boot, he wondered why she didn't come down with him when she literally said that they should go check the what's wrong. He was about going to the front when he noticed something really suspicious, he turned his back as he heard little noises coming from her side and unfortunately someone pointed a gun at him.He jerked immediately, he looked furious, putting on a scary face as he gave Henry a signal to enter the backseat of the car. Henry slowly was opening the door when he then heard a huge blow sound, it was coming from his back as he turns back as saw Priscilla holding a large stone in her hand. "Henry we need to leave I can smell them c
Henry scoffed at the question, he wondered why she will even ask that kind of question."I don't have one, why asking?" She smiled within her as she shook her head, she then took the plates back to the kitchen as she washes them one by one. The main reason she was brought here was to make sure that he wasn't lonely at home and also to train which she was doing. She felt that he was a nice person who got hurt by the people he loved. When she was done she left the kitchen and didn't meet him at the dinning again, she then went upstairs as she peeped in his room, he saw him on his computer but doesn't know what he was doing so she concluded that he was working.She went straight to her room as she take a shower and lay on the bed, she has nothing to do again again than to sleep. The next day, she was already dressed for the Gym, she woke early around 6am , when she left her room and went downstairs she saw Henry already sitting down on the couch like he was waiting for her. She gaze
"what is it?" He asked as he was really curious why she was smiling this much."He decided to give back the money, so I re draw the case...see" She said as she showed me the check, I opened my eyes wide as clapped my hands not too loud.Finally her dreams came to pass, he never really thought that he was going to give her back the money, so it was so surprising of him.He could understand how happy she looked because she never expected it to be too soon, because Sage was ready to fight with the case with his life. "I can see that you are really happy" He muttered with a grin as she nods her head. "I mean no one knew he was going to give me back this sudden" She said as the both of them began to walk to the hallway of their department."But how did you get all this?" He asked."Oh, yesterday I was called by the lawyer, and when I reached there he handed over the cheque to me and he also apologized to me, he told me to be careful next time" She explained to him as Henry nods his hea
Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some
"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will
Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed. "You can throw a
"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec
He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat
Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew
Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve
"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?" As Henry
