Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 153
Mabel stared at Arthur surprised. He had to be joking, right? He really couldn't be serious. What did he mean by "we don't have the money yet, do we?" Surely he couldn't still be considering coming up with underhanded ways of getting the money from the Bolton's after the massive fail of the kidnap plan, could he? She looked at him and took in his straight face. Was the man mad??!"I'm sorry what?" Mabel finally spoke up and Arthur leaned forward and clasped his hands before responding."Well, we teamed up for a reason and that reason was to achieve the common goal of making some good amount of money from the Bolton's and well, seeing how our first plan failed, we need to come up with a new plan to achieve our goal." he said and gave a shrug before he leaned back in his chair again."Arthur, is this some freaking joke??!" Mabel asked with her voice a notch higher than it had been. The man had to be freaking kidding her!!"No, Mabel, it's not "some freaking joke." I meant every sing
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 154
Mabel stared at Arthur but somehow felt like she wasn't looking at Arthur. She recognized his face to be Arthur's but she had never seen him wear a facial expression like the one he wore at the moment and she had also never seen him with the look in his eyes. He looked borderline deranged. He held her gaze in an intense glare and his mouth held a sinister grin. The man before her looked maniacal and she felt deeply unsettled and scared. He looked like he could harm her greatly if she made the wrong move and she knew he could sense her fear because as he stared at her his grin widened and she felt like he would make a good job of giving a maniacal laugh if he tried to at that moment. She wanted nothing more but to have this man as far away from her as possible and she wanted it really soon. She felt like she could panic if he was still so in her space in the next few seconds. If she was just a girl in a book or a movie then the doorbell would go off at that instant and he would have t
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 155
It had been almost a week since the last meeting between Mabel Sanders and Arthur McDoyle and the latter was in his house preparing to head out to execute the first step in their plan; the shooting of Richard Bolton. Two days back, he had illegally obtained a Sako TRG 22/42 gun to use for the mission and it was at that moment well packed and ready to go in a bag on his couch. He had chosen to go with an all brown outfit for the mission just for the sake of going against the norms. He was dressed in a pair of brown cargo pants, a brown t-shirt and a brown leather jacket. He was putting his gloves in his pocket when his phone rang and he turned to look at it. It was Mabel Sanders. He rolled his eyes. What did she want? She had better not be calling to try to convince him to change his mind again. They were going to go forward and execute his plan and that was final! He reached out to grab his phone and accept the call then he took the phone to his ear."Yeah?" he said gruffly."Hi Art
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 156
On the roof of the building from which he has just shot Richard Bolton a few seconds ago, Arthur McDoyle brought out a small paper envelope from the pocket of his brown cargo pants, opened it and smiled at the content; what better way was there to seal the deal than planting direct evidence against Chris Bolton at the scene?? He could almost laugh at his brilliance. He was a freaking genius. He looked back to where there was still a commotion around Richard Bolton. The bastard had lost consciousness and his guards were in the process of getting him back into the vehicle. Wait. Why was no one looking around to know where the bullet had been fired from?? That was not right. He needed to get their attention so they would head to where he was at that moment to retrieve the gun. Quickly, he took another shot at the vehicle but missed and that finally had one of the guards turning around as he tried to identify where the shots were being fired from. The plan had been for him to fire one sho
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 157
Haven just been informed that Richard was in a critical position condition as the bullet had barely missed his heart, Thomas Bolton balled his hands into really tight fists which shook with rage as he seethed in anger. "The doctors are still trying to get him to a stable state and they're sure they can help him," Ralph said when he saw Thomas Bolton's reaction. He knew his words were wasted though. Thomas Bolton would chase me whoever had done this right down to hell once he discovered their identity. No one ever went after Thomas Bolton without getting badly burnt in return. Whoever had done this to the young sir Richard had just made the biggest misstep of their entire life and the chances that they would live for much longer to tell their story, were very slim. Whoever it was had a 99.999% chance of dying once Thomas Bolton discovered it to their identity. Ralph had huge doubts that his boss actually loved the young sir Richard but he did know for a fact that his boss hated to fe
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 158
Chris Bolton bolted up in the hammock and stared at the headline which had popped up on his notification bar few seconds ago. "Thomas Bolton: Back to Being Without an Heir?" What the hell was that about?? Had something happened to Richard?? He quickly tapped on the notification and was directed to the news site where he quickly ran his eye through the story. Shit. Richard had been shot and was apparently in critical condition because the bullet had barely missed his heart. That wasn't good at all. Yes, Richard had betrayed him but he didn't want him dead. Not satisfied with just reading the story, Chris got out of the hammock hurried into his room where he grabbed the remote controller and powered his TV then scrolled through the channels to find any news channel that was covering the story. He found one eventually and stood rooted to the spot and watched as Richard stepped out of the car, only to be shot straight in the chest few seconds later. As he watched, the Richard on screen cl

Thomas Bolton hurriedly changed out of his indoor joggers and t-shirt and into a black flannel shirt and a pair of black jean trousers. When he was done with all his preparations, he took a quick look out the mirror before heading out of his room and heading back to the lounge where the prudent guards whose name he just realized he didn't know, was still waiting for him. He walked into the lounge and the guard immediately bolted out of his chair and remained standing even as Thomas walked up to him. This guard just kept displaying more and more fine levels of prudence. Thomas walked up to where he had left his phone on the chair and grabbed it then turned to face the guard who was still standing."You can go on and take your sit," Thomas said and the guard responded with a "yes sir" and proceeded to retake his sit. Thomas was going to explain to him again about how he had to head to the hospital and how the guard had to watch the gun until the cop came and even then, oversee the cop
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 160
As Thomas Bolton's convoy pulled up into the parking lot of the hospital, Thomas' phone rang on his leg and he looked at it - it was the cop he had called to go pick up the hair strand. "Have you picked it up now?" He asked as soon as he took the phone to his ear. "Yes," the cop replied gruffly."Good." Thomas said then asked "How long is it going to take before the results are ready?" "At least 4-5 days," the cop responded nonchalantly and Thomas almost snapped at him. The hell he would wait for '4-5 days'!!!! He wanted those results as soon as possible. "That's too far. I want them sooner," Thomas said. "Well, I'll try my best to get them for you in three days, but you're going to have to double my fee." the cop said with the same nonchalance. "I''ll triple it if you get me the damned results in two days," Thomas said and hung up without waiting for a reply. He knew the cop would get him the results soon because that was what dirty cops like himself did; they sang for t

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
