Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 125
Two days after their last hangout at the Bolton's Mansion, Chris, Monica, Rose and Sarah had decided to meet up again at Sarah's house to report back on their individual findings from their stake out on Mabel Sanders and Arthur McDoyle. They had just decided that Sarah's house would be the best place to meet so they wouldn't attract Mr. Michael Bolton's attention or pique his interest with their hushed conversation, because Chris didn't want him to find out he was considering meeting up with Mabel Sanders for any reason whatsoever, because he would without a doubt try to stop him and Chris did so badly want to know what Mabel wanted to discuss with him. He would just let him know after he had met up with her and heard whatever it was she had to say.Chris had his bath and then rang for his breakfast to be brought up to him in his room, then he lay on his bed with his towel strapped around his waist and scrolled through his phone as he waited for his maid to arrive with his breakfast
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 126
Following the directions from the vehicle's Google map, Chris pulled into the driveway of what could very well be called a mansion and brought the car to a stop in front of the door but didn't kill the engine. He brought out his phone and dialed Sarah's number and she picked on the first ring."Are you guys here?" she asked as soon as she accepted the call."Uhm, I think so?" Chris replied feeling somewhat confused. "If your house is one that has very well earned its right to be called a mansion, then yes, we are here" Chris responded as he remained staring at the magnificent structure before them."Yep, sounds like me, you are here" she said on a soft chuckle and added "I'll be right out."As they watched, the front door opened and Sarah walked out wearing a pair of rugged bum shorts and a white tank top. She waved at them with a smile before shoving her hands in the front pockets of her bum shorts and began rocking back and forth on her heels.Chris, Rose and Monica alighted th

It was already well past 8pm and getting on for 9pm before Chris, Rose and Monica got to their feet and got ready to head back to the Bolton's Mansion. After they had individually given the reports of their separate stake outs and investigations on Mabel Sanders for the previous two days, they had also agreed to come to the conclusion that Mabel Sanders was actually clean and probably meant well and so Chris could go ahead and schedule a meet up with her and actually show up for it. For all they knew, she probably actually had useful information which could prove really useful to them and could come in handy in the future. They got up and walked out of the cottage and back the across the lawn the same way they had come. They walked into the house and back across the same long hallway and across the living room to the front door and they walked out and descended the steps to meet the same cheery chauffeur from earlier, Elvis, who handed the keys to Sarah with a "here you go Ms. Sarah
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 128
Mabel Sanders woke up to the her notification sound alerting her to the entry of a new message. She woke up and noticed that she had neither taken a shower nor changed into her night wear before she had slept off, matter of fact, she was still fully dressed; clothes, shoes, jewelry and all. She hadn't even placed her phone on charge. She looked at the phone screen and had barely registered that it was well past 11pm and getting on for 12am, before her beeping red battery caught her attention and she realized her phone was at 1%. Suddenly alert, she shot up and off the bed and scrambled to the other side of her bed where her phone charger was. In her rush, she briefly forgot about the fact that she still had on her shoes which were a pair of five inches high stiletto heels and she came crashing to the ground immediately she got off the bed and to her feet. She cussed and got on her knees and began to crawl to get to her charger. She got to her phone charger and tried to connect her cha

Mabel Sanders was up and out of her bed as early as 6:30am. She would just quickly brush her teeth and freshen up then head to the shop to get her dress tried on and fitted. She walked into her bathroom and brushed her teeth then quickly splashed some water onto her face before she walked out of her bathroom and into her closet. She walked out few minutes later wearing a pair of purple sweatpants with a matching purple sweatshirt and an inner black t-shirt. She picked up her car keys from the top of her dresser, went to her bedside table to pick up her phone and her purse then she headed out of her room and out of the house. She got into her car, pulled up the name of the shop and entered it into her GPS and set out. Along the way, she stopped briefly to get herself a much needed cup of coffee and few minutes later, she pulled into the parking lot of the shop, got out of her car and headed into the shop. She received a warm welcome from the receptionist and pulled up the details of he

"So, care to share what this meeting is about Ms. Sanders?" he asked and leaned forward "I mean, given our history you definitely couldn't have asked to see me for a catch up chat." he finished and raised his right brow mockingly.Mabel stiffled the urge to respond with the sudden anger and irritation she felt. This Chris was definitely a handful. Why, the boldness and arrogance of the obnoxiously pompous brat!!!"No sir," she said with a bright blinding smile which Chris barely noticed or acknowledged. "I requested for this meeting to discuss something really important and of great concern to me," she paused then gave him a thoughtful look before adding "And I imagine it will be of great concern to you too, Mr. Chris," she finished."Oh?" Chris responded and raised his right brow again "Interesting," he said with a nod "Alright then, let's have it," he said and leaned back into his chair "The floor is yours and you have my full attention, so, shoot." he finished and stared at her
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 131
Mabel Sanders and Chris Bolton walked out of the Pink Flame Jazz Bar by exactly 1:30pm and with a brief and nonchalant nod to each other, they went their separate ways. Mabel Sanders got into her car, brought the engine to life and pulled out of the parking lot and gently steered her way back into the stream of vehicles on the main road.Chris Bolton headed to his own car where Rose was waiting for him in the driver's sit. He opened the door to the front passenger sit and got in. Whenever he stepped out for a casual social meet up with Rose and didn't take his usual escorts, he preferred to ride up front with Rose. Matter of fact, even with the other vehicle of escorts present, he still still in the preferred to ride up front with her. He only refrained from doing that in extremely formal settings and social gatherings where he knew eyes would be on him. He had barely even had to get in properly and shut the door before she spoke."So, how did that go?" she asked "What did our littl
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 132
The rest of the ride to the Bolton's Mansion was filled with small absentminded banter between the group of four who were each distracted with their racing thoughts. Soon enough Rose pulled into the driveway of the Bolton's Mansion and came to a stop in front of the door, but no one made a move to get down from the car. They were all well aware of the presence of the proverbial elephant in the room but none of them wanted to be the first to bring it up so they sat in silence for almost two minutes until Sarah, being the most impatient one of the four, eventually decided she had just about had enough of the heavy silence and pulled the plug on the silence by clearing her throat to speak up."Look, Chris, we all know the right thing to do is to tell Mr. Michael Bolton" she started and Chris let out a breath "But then again, we are your friends and I believe our loyalty is first to you, at least I know mine is." she paused briefly then continued. "While we all know what the right thing

CHAPTER 182
Thomas Bolton grabbed a dagger and lunged at Richard with a scream and just as he was about to drive it straight through his heart, Richard quickly sidestepped and the dagger grazed his arm slightly and Thomas fell to the ground. As he struggled to get to his feet, he heard a gunshot and felt a pain sear through his left foot. Bloody bastards!! Getting shot in the foot again!! He felt two pair of arms grab him and place him firmly back on his sit. As he sat, Chris grabbed a pistol from the weapons strap on the waist of one of the guards and pointed it at Thomas' head and cocked it and Thomas smiled at him."I don't think your pretty woman's going to like you very much if you kill me now." Thomas said with a smirk. "I mean, I haven't gotten around to telling her about her lost sibling and believe me, she'd really like to know that," he finished and Chris lowered the gun. "What? You know my siblings whereabouts?" Sarah asked and looked at him with teary eyes. "Of course I do. I kep
CHAPTER 181
Thomas Bolton stared at Richard then looked at the gun in his hand. He felt betrayed. Just when he had shown a little trust in him, he had taken advantage of that trust and stabbed him in the freaking back. He had sold him to his enemies and for how much, he wondered. He looked back up at Richard and could see that his eyes were emotionless, almost like he had sold his soul or something. Thomas wondered if that change had been present in him all week and he had just been too oblivious to notice it or if Richard had actually done a very good job of masking it. What had turned him that way? He turned to look at Chris Bolton and his company. He recognized both ladies well enough. He had held one hostage amd the other, he had killed her father. Well, Chris Bolton had certainly picked his crew right. Between all three of them who seemed to be head of the group, he had certainly caused them a lot of pain and hurt. He tore his eyes away from the three of them and looked at Victor. Now that o
CHAPTER 180
Chris Bolton was sitted in Michael Bolton's study with his laptop open in front of him but his mind was occupied. He is was in love with Sarah but couldn't confess it and he knew it wasn't because he was scared of being rejected by her or because he was worried about his father not accepting it. The reason he was worried about expressing his feelings for Sarah was because of Monica. He couldn't deny the fact that they had both had some tension between them when they had initially met. He had most certainly had something for her and he felt like she she had also had a thing for him, but he wasn't sure if she still had it. He has tried not to acknowledge his feelings for Sarah for a long time because he had felt like they made him disloyal to Monica, especially if she still had those feelings. What was he going to do? Was he supposed to just ask her? Wasn't that___? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door and just as he opened his mouth to call for whoever it w
CHAPTER 179
Richard aimed his gun at Luke Freeman and cocked it. Like his client Thomas Bolton, the bastard didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and Richard without a doubt had absolutely no issue in giving him what he deserved. Besides, Thomas Bolton had betrayed him and there was no saying that the smart lawyer wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was just that afternoon that Thomas Bolton had reminded him about the possibility and risks of conversations being recorded. There was no saying that the sneaky smart ass hadn't recorded their conversation with plans to have him reported and arrested. Who knew? He really couldn't trust anyone. There was no saying that Luke Freeman wouldn't betray him because when all was said and done, Richard didn't actually have a single soul in the universe he could rely on to look out for him. He thought he had totally gotten rid of his little hopes and expectations of good from Thomas Bolton but apparently he hadn't because he could feel a tear trickle do
CHAPTER 178
Luke Freeman wordlessly took the sit Richard had motioned him into with the gun in his hand. Wasn't he the adopted son of Thomas Bolton? What did he want with him? Had they had an issue earlier in the day? Why was he in his house at such a time of the night and with a freaking handgun in his damned hand? What could he do? Should he try to set off an alarm or something? What warning signal could he send his neighbours that would alert them that he was in danger? His neighbourhood was actually quite a quiet one full of people who minded their business so the chances of anyone actually noticing whatever signal he gave was a pretty slim one and the chances of anyone noticing that signal and actually acting on it was next to non-existent. He was certainly toasted. The young man with handgun which he was freely brandishing at him, could kill him and no one would know. Why on Earth had he given in to his tiredness and not listened to the voice that had told him to stay back at the office and
CHAPTER 177
Richard remained sitted in his position as he replayed the conversation he had just listened to in his head. Well. Well. Well. It seemed like sneakily getting a voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation had most certainly paid off. So Thomas Bolton wanted to make some changes and adjustments to his will now, did he? That had without a doubt been the most - if not the only - important and interesting part of their conversation for Richard. He had to give it to his sixth senses for making him listen to that voice recording till the end of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. What were the present contents of Thomas Bolton's will? What "changes and adjustments" could he possibly want to make? As far as Richard could tell he was the only heir of the old and insufferable bastard. Yes he was adopted but he was quite sure he was the only heir of Thomas Bolton. Didn't that naturally mean he was supposed to be the sole inheritor to all of the annoying geezer's
CHAPTER 176
It had been almost three hours since that annoying brat, Luke Freeman had appeared after being sent straight from hell to disturb Richard's peaceful afternoon and after haven restlessly and absent-mindedly seen a movie, Richard was itching to go get his phone and listen to the voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. He had instructed a maid to immediately inform him about Luke Freeman's departure but she still hadn't shown up. What on Earth could the two men be talking about for so long anyways? As his mind raced with the endless possibilities about the contents of their conversation, he heard a faint knock on his door and he bolted out of his bed and rushed at the door. He opened the door and as soon as he saw the maid standing there he rushed past her without waiting for her to say a word. He headed straight for Thomas Bolton's lounge and he tried his best not to run and only appear like someone who had urgent and important matters to deal with. He soon go
CHAPTER 175
Chris Bolton stood at the entrance of Sarah's room as the realization that he was in love with her hit him. He had tried to ignore these feelings because they had been trying to get attention at a wrong time, but he couldn't ignore them anymore, not after seeing her sitted on her bed with her hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun and her upper body covered in a big sweater and that innocently welcoming smile on her face. He couldn't say for sure how long he had felt that way but he could say for sure that his feelings were very much there and alive. They actually explained a lot. They explained why he had recently began to feel so drawn to Sarah. He had tried to ignore and not acknowledge them but that hadn't sent them away. If anything, it seemed like ignoring and not acknowledging them had probably only helped them quietly grow stronger. He stood at the door and stared at her even as his discovery opened up a dam of thoughts in his head. Why had he been doing his best to igno
CHAPTER 174
In Thomas Bolton's lounge, Richard continued to take in the stranger who had walked into the lounge a little under a minute ago. From his rectangular rimless glasses to his suit pants and shirt and down to the black attorneys bag he was carrying, he certainly wasn't their usual type of company and Richard wasn't sure how he felt about him. While he didn't seem to spell danger, Richard also didn't care for his presence in the lounge as he had never really been a fan of strangers, especially when they did what he considered to be an invasion of his comfort space and invade his comfort space, this stranger was. Technically it was Thomas Bolton's but who cared? Thomas had come to accept Richard's constant presence in the lounge and Richard had definitely been enjoying it but at that moment, the stranger was taking away his comfort and Richard didn't like it one bit. He looked at him with his left eyebrow raised but the stranger just kept smiling at him. What was he? A robot? A raised eyeb
