The guards fell back respectfully as Henry walked with his old classmate.

Henry didn't hesitate to shake it, although he felt a bit embarrassed by the guards. Nonetheless, he was still proud that Elvis had made it in life.

As they shook hands, Henry surveyed Elvis's outfit. His wrist watch alone costs one hundred thousand dollars, and his suit was from saint Laurent, costing two hundred thousand dollars. Who would have thought he'd get this wealthy?

"You have changed a lot," Henry smiled as he chuckled.

Elvis smiled proudly. "What can I say? I have all the money to do that, my friend. But enough about me. How have you been? Haven't you secured a job yet? Why are you still like this?" He asked worriedly.

Henry shook his head. "I guess my time hasn't come yet and it will. For now, let's go inside. Or you are waiting for your friends?" Henry calmly said.

Elvis shook his head. "Of course not," he paused before continuing. "You know it's kind of surprising why you have a bad luck surroundi

    Amber scoffed, eyes rolling hard enough to strain something. Disdain crossed across her features. "I mean, just take a look at your fellow men," she said, gesturing around the room. "Are they dressed up like you are now?" She placed her hands firmly on her hips, leaning forward slightly as she scrutinized his plain clothes. "Even if you can't afford luxurious stuffs, can't you at least dress nicely? It wouldn't hurt you know."Her hands rested firmly on her hips, as she stopped to await his response. It was as if his appearance personally offended her! Ugh!Henry dragged both palms down his face, his bones tired just from her taunts. Why was he always surrounded with such negative energy?Finding the nearest empty chair, he dropped into it with a sigh. Why would he bother giving her the benefit of a reply? She wasn't why he had come there anyway. He wouldn't waste another moment on her petty jabs.Some fights simply weren't worth having. His reason for being here had nothing to do wit

    Closing the distance, the man - Quo, as Henry recognized him - opened his mouth as Henry nodded in confirmation. Quo threw his head back with a loud chuckle.Then, without warning, he reached out and hit Henry with his fists on the shoulder, his hand lingering there for some time."It's kind of surprising, Henry," Quo remarked, his lips curving into an insincere smile. "You have changed in your attitude, but definitely not your physical appearance." Henry met Quo's gaze evenly, nodding, his expression showing he was not bothered by the insult disguised as a compliment. "It wasn't what you were expecting, right?" he replied coldly. Quo's fists on his shoulder clenched tightly as he noticed Henry's indifference. Though, he tried to cover up by putting a mocking smile on his face. "Man, you shouldn't have been here, you know," Quo muttered, a derisive edge to his voice. "You're supposed to be in your boss's restroom, watching over it and making sure you keep an eye on his kids." Thi

    Henry's gaze locked onto Elvis, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief. Wait…..was this the same man? The one he could have sworn, against all odds, changed after all these years?What happened to the amiable conversation they had a while ago?A scoff, barely audible, escaped his lips, as he turned to look away for a second in disbelief. Disappointment filled his features. He was trying hard....trying so hard not to regret coming to this reunion party!But what was he expecting though? The truth was painfully clear. People like Elvis who used to bully before would definitely not change all of a sudden into a kind hearted person. Old habits clung to them like shadows, refusing to let go.It would be comical to think he just became a good guy that would stand up for him at the expense of his friendship with Quo. Henry knew better than to believe in such fairy tales.He stared hard at Elvis, who merely looked away after uttering a soft chuckle. Averting his gaze from Elvis, Henry turned ba

  • Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise    83: You'll regret it, Henry

    He saw how Quo was smiling at him, clearly pleased with his attack. But Henry's expression remained stern and silent. Quo drew back his fist to strike again but Henry was ready this time. With lightning quick reflexes, he seized Quo's wrist in an iron grip just as the punch was thrown.Since the force he used to throw it was large, Henry used it against him by rising steadily to his feet, never loosening his hold on the fist."Ahh, you really want to fight now, huh?" Quo taunted Henry, his cheeks curving into a mocking smirk. "'Let me show you how it's–" He began to say, wrenching his fists out of Henry's hands. However, to his surprise, he couldn't even twist his wrist in the grip."What the…." Quo stared at him in stunned confusion, taken aback by his strength and agility. When did Henry become so powerful?He continued trying to wriggle his arm free but couldn't break Henry's hold. No matter what he did, his fist was still firmly clasped in Henry's hands. He looked at him as he

    Glancing at the message, he furrowed his brow and his eyes darted between the lines, searching for a connection. He then realized that Sage's address matched Irene's, street for street. So all this while, even when Sage was still with her and was cheating with Beatrice, his house was just a few blocks from hers?His foot slammed down on the accelerator, the engine roaring to life as he accelerated into motion. He was going to give him an ever friendly visit.With a quick glance at his watch, he realized how late the time was. The hands on the watch was getting closer the position of midnight, ticking away.As he drove down the dimly lit streets, there was a pin drop silence that settled around him. The flickering streetlight cast long shadows, pointing out how empty and quiet the area was.He could see the cameras everywhere, and some officers patrolling the area.The residents also seemed like those that minded their businesses, engrossed in their own affairs and remained oblivious

    Henry's fingers curled around the doorknob, grasping it. He turned the handle and it creaked under his grip, swinging open easily. He realized it was already ajar. Startled, he pushed the door wide open, and with a quick scan of the room, he noticed fresh footprints on the floor.Sage had probably just returned from her place now.As he walked into the room, a derisive smile appeared on his face.Each piece of furniture was beautiful and well-made. The smooth lines and perfect joints showed that the craftsmen were very skilled and probably top-notch.The furniture had intricate patterns and delicate designs that made it look elegant, made with expensive wood and soft cushions.Henry couldn't believe Sage, honestly. He had the audacity to use his ex-girlfriend's money for all of this??Henry's anger surged, his face burning red. He couldn't fathom how someone could stoop so low. And to make matters worse, Sage had betrayed her with her best friend. Now, he went ahead and threatened h

  • Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise    86: Have you heard from you lawyer recently?

    Henry and Sage stared at each other with strong intensity, like they were in a battle room. The tension between them was similar to two wrestlers ready to fight in the middle of a ring.The room fell into a heavy silence as they kept their gazes on each other. This went on for some minutes before Sage broke the silence.His voice sliced through the air. "Get out of my house," Sage commanded, his tone icy.But under the cold surface, he was burning in fury. Sage squeezed his fists so tightly that the tendons stood out like ropes. The corners of Henry's mouth turned upward in mockery and disgust. "So now you know that you did is the real, ultimate shame to brotherhood. And if justice were to be given to this, you would have been stoned to death!" Sage lunged forward to attack but stopped himself, fighting to control his anger. He tried to block out all the thoughts in his head. No, what he did was right! Irene was foolish, and all he did was use it to his advantage!He took a shaky br

    Henry's heart sank, the color draining from his face, as he tried to understand what was going on."What do you mean by that?" Henry asked, his brow furrowing in curiosity.Sage leaned back and shook his head. "Nothing. I was just being so kind to ask about the well-being of the lawyer who is trying so hard to solve this case," He raised one eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes as the corner of his mouth curved upward in a subtle smirk.Henry couldn't believe it as his brows rode up towards his hairline. He couldn't even think of the possibility. There was no way Sage could have kidnapped Nathan, could he? The thought churned his stomach, a knot forming in his gut.But how could he have kidnapped him? Doubt flashed across his face.Nathan was no fool, Henry knew that. He was a smart and vigilant individual and was not easily taken advantage of. Unless... unless Sage was very good at manipulating.He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. Without warning, he charged

    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.

    "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?"
