Nate looked strangely at Henry. “You think that’s a lot?”
Henry was rendered speechless.
“Did you know that your father inherited the same amount as you?” Nate supplied. “That was like 20 years ago.” He added.
When Henry thought about it, he realized that his father was a lucky man because about 30 billion dollars about 20 years ago was a lot of money compared to his time now that the dollar had depreciated.
Henry sighed.
Nate moved closer to him. “You know why I say the family is stingy? The value of this inheritance should have increased over time but it didn’t. Nevertheless, your father was a generous man.”
Henry looked up at him. “Uncle Nate, what do you mean by that?”
“You must know that the wealth of the Parker family belongs to the family and as for those who died, their wealth will be used as a startup capital for the next generation,” Nate said.
Henry was paying keen attention.
“If those who inherit the wealth start their own business and succeed, they can control their money independently,” Nate revealed. He then moved closer to Henry and immersed him in a hug.
Nate leaned and began to whisper into Henry’s left ear. “Your father left you 20 billion dollars.”
“20 billion?” whispered a star-struck Henry.
Henry remembered that his father was a business mogul and the man had always mentioned how so many people had supported him to become the head of the family. Henry had never thought that his father had saved so much money for him, especially with the way his late father was spending on charity.
“20 billion!” Henry muttered in disbelief. The highest amount the other heirs received from their late fathers was 1 billion dollars.
Nate continued speaking. “I decided to become the President of City Bank because I promised your father that I’ll do my best to ensure you get the best in life. That was the amount I used as capital to start up the banking business and as we speak right now, the amount has doubled over the years to 40 billion.
Henry was taken aback.
Nate raised a finger from his left hand. “Lest I forget, I set up a foundation in your name and rendered charity on several occasions. Meanwhile, these funds we are talking about are accessible and you can have it anytime you want.”
Henry folded his arms across his chest and began to study Nate like it was the first time he was setting eyes on him. He concluded that no wonder his uncle Nate never bothered to start over. The man has been working day and night to help him grow his inheritance.
Henry had a deep conviction that his father left some money for him but not even in his wildest imagination did he think the money could be up to 20 billion dollars. Now, he was looking at over 50 billion dollars’ worth of cash not to mention the assets.
“Does this mean I have a fortune of about 100 billion? That’s too much?” Henry said after regaining from the shock.
Nate flashed a smile.
Henry couldn’t hide his excitement. 68 billion dollars combined was what the two other heirs before him got as their inheritance and there he was, having almost 100 billion dollars alone. All this while, he had thought that the mercenary lord and the business lord were supreme but now, his father had just made him financially powerful over them.
Henry turned to Nate and tried to regain his composure. He had been smiling so brightly that color was beginning to radiate from every corner of his face and it gladdened Nate’s heart.
“I will need some cash first then I can look at the assets and other things in the document later but for now, I would like you to keep a part of the profit you made for yourself,” Henry told Nate.
Nate swung his head from left to right in filial objection. “Henry, your father has already paid me in advance.”
Henry was taken aback.
Nate smiled. “I’ve been sorted. Everything here is yours. This is the rule.”
Henry insisted. “Uncle Nate, I know you don’t lack money at the moment but if you don’t take your share of the profits, it means I’m not loyal.”
Again, Nate shook his head in disagreement.
“How about 10 percent? You have to take 10 percent no matter what,” said Henry. “Except you don’t want me to feel bad.” He added with a serious face.
Nate sighed. “Alright, but consider it as a loan I’m obtaining from you. I will invest it.”
Henry chuckled. “Whatever, Uncle Nate.”
“Now, come with me, we need to transfer cash into your account and give you a debit card,” Nate said. They stepped out.

Two hours later, Nate led Henry to the bank entrance after he was able to complete the transaction he needed.
Henry was able to obtain a credit card and had some funds wired into his account. However, the transfer of assets was not a matter that could be tackled in a day, especially with the large amount of money Henry was now possessing so he had simply filled out the necessary forms and signed the contract for the transfer of assets.
Meanwhile, Henry withdrew a large amount of money and had it enclosed in a briefcase.
As he stood at the entrance with Nate, a thought hit Henry. He hadn’t seen Nate in more than 10 years and he was considering having lunch with him. They had a lot of catching up to do.
However, he noticed that Nate was exhausted and since they had another meeting to continue the transfer of assets, Henry concluded that he would bring up lunch that time.
Nate placed a hand on Henry’s left shoulder. “It was so good to see you Henry after all these years. I’ve been looking forward to this day.”
Henry smiled. “Thank you, Uncle Nate. I just can’t thank you enough.”
“We will keep in touch,” Nate said and moved into the bank.
Henry clutched his briefcase and gazed up to the sky. He heaved a sigh of relief and when he looked down, Stacey was standing before him.

Chapter 245
As the plane touched down in York City, Henry took a deep breath, ready to take on whatever came next. A few hours after landing, Henry called Tammy.He had been thinking about the life they had together, and the thought of leaving her behind weighed heavily on his heart.He dialed her number, the ringing tone filling the quiet of his private office. “Hey, Tammy,” Henry said as soon as she picked up. “Henry! You finally got through. I’ve been trying to reach you for days,” Tammy replied, her voice filled with relief. “I know, I’m sorry. Things have been a bit chaotic since I arrived in York City,” Henry explained.“But I wanted to ask you something. I’d love for you to come here with me. You’ve been such an important part of my life, and I can’t imagine doing all this without you. What do you think?” There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Henry could almost feel her hesitating. “I… I don’t know, Henry,” Tammy finally said.“I’ve just started with the Dream Angel gr
Chapter 244
One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Henry sat across from Tammy in his private study.The soft hum of the city outside the windows was the only sound that accompanied their silence. “Tammy,” Henry said, breaking the silence.“I know our lives are... complicated. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, I’m here. With you. Always.” Tammy’s heart fluttered at his words, her eyes softening as she gazed at him.“I know, Henry. And I’m here too. We’ll find a way to make this work. No matter how busy life gets, we’ll make time for each other. I promise.” Henry smiled, the tension in his shoulders easing. “I’m counting on you, Tammy.”The morning sun had just begun to rise over Marian City, casting a warm glow on the vast Parker empire.For years, Henry had poured his heart and soul into building his businesses, carefully cultivating them from the ground up.His family name had become synonymous with success, wealth, and influence, stretching across countless secto

He thought he had already lost his life.Henry chuckled a bit.“She never misses a target but because you are family, she was being merciful. Think about that before you dare to double cross me in the future, cousin.” Henry said in sinister.June smirked as she looked at his face.“All talk but you are not even brave? Huh? Control the business? In your dreams, Daniel.”Later that evening, as the dust settled and the formalities of the day came to an end,Henry sat alone in his study, reflecting on the day’s events.The battle for the Parker legacy had been won, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something more had shifted, something deeper. His phone buzzed, and Tammy’s name appeared on the screen.His heart skipped a beat as he answered. “Hey, Tammy,” he said, his voice soft, the exhaustion of the day lacing his words. “I heard the news,” Tammy said with a smile in her voice.“I mean, I saw it in the news. You did it. I knew you would.” Henry smiled, his fingers drumming on h
Chapter 242
This time, he knew that Tammy wasn’t just offering her support because it was the right thing to do.She genuinely cared for him, and in that moment, Henry realized how much he had come to rely on her.She was more than a friend now.She was something… more.Something he wasn’t ready to put into words, but that he felt every time they spoke. “I really appreciate you, Tammy,” Henry said quietly, his voice thick with emotion. “You’ve become more important to me than I ever expected.” There was a pause, and then Tammy responded, her voice teasing yet soft.“You know, Henry, I’ve always been here, right? You just had to notice.” Henry chuckled, the sound surprisingly light despite the tension in the air.“I’m starting to notice.” As the day of the family meeting drew closer, Henry couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to make a move.One that would solidify his position not only as the rightful heir to the Parker empire but also as the leader of his own destiny.He knew that Danie

A long pause followed, and Henry found himself staring out of the window, the weight of the world still heavy on his shoulders.But Tammy’s words had lifted him, even if just a little.He hadn’t realized how much he needed to hear them, how much he needed someone to remind him that it wasn’t all on him. “I just feel like I’m stuck between two worlds,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.“The responsibilities of the empire, the family, and then… I don’t even know how to mourn properly. My grandfather meant so much to me.” Tammy’s voice was gentle, but there was a strength in it.“It’s okay to grieve, Henry. You don’t have to be strong all the time. It’s okay to take a moment for yourself, to feel everything that’s happening. It’s part of being human.” “I know,” Henry said, his voice thick with emotion.“But the pressure is constant. Daniel’s been… well, he’s been trying to undermine me, trying to take what’s mine. It feels like a battle on every front.” Tammy’s tone was
Chapter 240
Unlike Henry, who had dedicated his life to running the family businesses,Daniel had focused on the socialite life, parties, charity galas, and public appearances.He had the charm and charisma that many people admired, but Henry had always suspected that his cousin was more interested in the title of heir than the responsibilities that came with it. “Henry,” Daniel said, his voice smooth,“I’m glad you’re here. It’s a tough time for all of us, but we must think about the future. Your grandfather always said that the Parker legacy should be passed on to someone with the right vision.”His eyes gleamed as he spoke, his hand casually resting on the back of a chair, as if he were already preparing to sit at the head of the table. Henry didn’t respond immediately.His gaze swept over the room.His uncle, clearly shaken, was trying to hold it together.While his father, though stoic, seemed to be lost in his thoughts.The family lawyer, Mr. Grant, was seated at the end of the table, wai
