Henry looked at Jacob. Guilt was hovering all over him and he couldn’t even look Henry in the eyes. “Is there something we should know?” Henry asked. After betraying his roommates, Henry was not expecting Jacob to just show up at the hotel with the rest. Jacob heaved a deep sigh. “I burned down the hotel.” He muttered under his breath but everyone heard him. “What?” Dalton screamed in disbelief.“Also, there was no 30 million dollars ransom. I lied.” Jacob confessed with his head lowered in shame.When Jacob summoned the courage to look up, everyone was staring at him with shock spread across their faces. “I didn’t intend to do all of it. It was Troy who made me do it. He caught Aida and threatened me. You can ask her. He kept her at his mansion in Springwood and then released her at the same time with Chelsea and the others.”Before Henry could say anything, Berry was already blabbering. “You betrayed Henry for your girlfriend? How dare you? You’re a son of a bitch.”Chelsea was

“You guys can make whatever arrangements that suit you. We leave in five minutes.” Henry said indifferently.***About twenty minutes later, Henry and his crew pulled up in front of the venue. He brought Miss Rose, June, Betty, and Tiny Tim with him to meet Troy. Miss Rose had already contacted her people so by the time she arrived with Henry and the rest, her guards from the Eye of Dark Knight had already taken control of the building both inside and outside. The door to the building was pushed open by several bodyguards and Troy walked in. One of the guards leaned toward Troy and whispered. “Sir, the area is surrounded by guards from the Eye of Dark Knight.”Troy sighed. “As expected. She didn’t even waste any time to join Henry’s side. This means that she had the intention of working with him all this while and was just playing games with me.”At that point, Troy was glad that he had stopped attacking Henry, otherwise, he’d have suffered losses in the end because If Miss Rose cho

“Mr. Parker, I would have wanted us to become friends but considering my actions, I’ll settle as an acquaintance. I hope our families can form a sort of bond. I don’t intend to cause any harm and I hope that my past transgressions are written off. I look forward to a bright future.” Troy said respectfully with a hopeful smile. Troy was being calculative. After suffering such a huge loss, it’ll be unreasonable if he doesn’t get to form a relationship with Henry so he wants to turn their conflict into some sort of agreement. “No problem. I’ve never been stingy with my people. We’ll see whether the Smith family can become one of us or not.” Henry said politely. Regarding Troy’s statement, Henry was being careful. Although the two of them had reconciled, it was far from the extent that they could work together. Henry does not trust Troy now but if Troy performs well in the future, it is not impossible to get him on his side. “Don’t worry Mr. Parker. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do

The style of performance Aida and Courtney were showcasing was different from Jessica’s. When Jessica sings, she quietly hugs the guitar and sits on an elevated stool on stage. Also, her genre was mostly soul and country music. Aida and Courtney on the other hand were not gentle singers. They were dancing and hyping the crowd like how hip-hop artists do. They had chosen a familiar song so the crowd was singing and dancing along. The two girls were of the same height and even though they had no professional training, they seemed well-proportioned on stage. By the time they started displaying robotic moves while singing, the audience went crazy. They were performing a duet and their voice was going smoothly. It was as if the original singers were performing. Soon, the crowd stood up and began to cheer loudly. When Aida and Courtney saw the atmosphere that was brought up to them, they were delighted in their hearts. The more they jumped and danced, the more excited they were. Their p

Seeing that Henry was not ready to pay any attention to them, the two girls resigned from their flirting and made their way back to their seats. Berry and the rest were still immersed in the party. “Sir!” someone called out to Henry. He quickly turned around. It was Miss Rose. She walked up to him. “Do you want me to assign someone to investigate Lanster?”Henry shook his head. “I don’t think he’s a threat. Lanster is just a playboy with no control.”“If you say so.” Miss Rose replied after a sigh. “Is there no news from Benedict?” Henry asked. Miss Rose shook her head. “There’s no news on him yet,”Henry sighed. “It’s all my fault. It’s my lack of competence. I’m sorry. Troy is also looking for Benedict and he hasn’t found anything on him yet. Do you think that Benedict is out of the city?” Miss Rose said. Henry sneered. “This kid is quite capable of escaping things.”“Do you want to pressure the Red family and force them to bring Benedict out?” Miss Rose asked. Henry thought f
