The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 126
Lifting his head, Arthur took his glass of water and had a sip before turning to his grandma who had been stealing glances at him while eating her food.Arthur cleared his throat and said to her, “I-I used to have a girlfriend but she ended the relationship when she overheard my conversation over the phone.”Grandma Vanessa dropped her cutleries.“What did say over the phone that she overheard and ended your relationship with her?”Grandpa Carl also paused eating and listened with rapt attention.“I lied to her about my identity and she found out when I was on a call. I had earlier excused myself and didn't know when she came to the place where I was answering the call.”The old couple exchanged glances but didn't say anything.Grandma Vanessa thought that her chances of having great grandchildren were now slim because of Arthur's revelation. She didn't know how it happened so she decided to ask Arthur.“So, um do you love her so much?”Arthur nodded his head in response.The old lady

“That’s a great idea. I miss my baby so much and the least I can do now is to visit her graveside. At least, that will make her happy wherever she is.”Arthur nodded his head. “She'll be so delighted to learn that we've all reconciled.” He replied back with a smile.Grandma Vanessa patted him on the shoulder and stood up from the chair. “I'll be going to my room now. When you're ready, just tell the maid to show you to your room. Or you can choose to sleep in any room of your choice, it's your house after all.” With that, grandma Vanessa left Arthur alone.Indeed, the house was big enough and contained a whole lot of rooms which were all furnished. Arthur could choose to sleep anywhere. And about changing his clothes, that was not a problem. There were a lot of spare clothes which were all new and untouched.“Good night Nana.” With a satisfied smile on his face, Arthur spoke to the receding figure of his grandmother. Indeed, he made the right decision to come and spend some time with

Arthur was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the information which his father had just revealed to him.Should he be sad or angry?For a moment, the place was dead silent as none of the men breathed a word. What could Arthur say at that moment because he was confused.When Gregg saw that Arthur was quiet and he was also unable to read his expression, he broke the awkward silence with a deep sigh before continuing.“Um, Arthur. I know that you're not happy with this decision of mine especially after what they did to you. I'm also not happy with them but I have to do the right thing.”“Rosaline is still my wife and I adopted Bryan as my son so they still have rights in my house. Yeah, it is me who called for it so I have to finish what I started.”Arthur only nodded his head. There was no way he could go against his father. The mother and son could be scumbags but they were still the McCains. They were all still related.Gregg saw Arthur nod but was not convinced that he had ac

As usual, Arthur returned to work the next morning and was approached by Nick. The latter wanted to find out about his relationship with Jesse. “How's it going with you and Jesse? I hope she's been able to forgive you?”Nick had once approached Jesse on behalf of Arthur. Although Arthur didn't send him to intercede on his behalf, the latter felt it was the right thing to do. He was only trying to help someone he considered a friend.What would happen when Nick finally realized the truth about Arthur? When the man learns of Arthur's real identity, his approach towards him would definitely change.Unlike Jesse, Nick might not be angry at Arthur. Instead, he'd be happy he treated Arthur well. At least, that would cause Arthur to consider him for a better job. Indeed, Arthur had it in his mind to reward the good man.He was a true friend indeed.“Um, it's still the same as there hasn't been any improvement. Jesse looks like she's made up her mind to end everything with me but I won't let

With a broad smile on his face, Nick turned to Arthur. “Alright, let's go have some fun later.”Arthur's face lit up with a smile. “That's more like it. All work and no play makes us dull.”With that, the two men went back to work.Meanwhile, Rosaline and her son were at home still trying to figure out their next line of action. Their plan to get the company through Oscar failed woefully. They decided to think of something else but none of them were coming up with an idea.Someone knocked on the door and they both became alarmed.“Are you expecting anyone?” Rosaline asked her son who shook his head.“No. What if it's Arthur at the door? Did he come back again to cause another problem?”Rosaline glared at his son and shook her head. She was beginning to regret pampering him so much. She had doted on him so much that he was now too dependent on her. He was acting like a coward. One who can't stand up for himself.“Won't you go over and find out who's at the door?”The knocking came aga

The seriousness on the man's face made Rosaline believe that he was saying the truth. Gregg had actually called for them to come back.What made him change his mind about them? He already had Arthur by his side. Why did he suddenly want them to come back home even after all that they did?There must be something.Rosaline was really curious but didn't dwell on the matter. She had wanted to ask Kimora what happened and why Gregg suddenly changed his mind but on a second thought, she decided against it.The point was that they were going back home and that was all that mattered.With a stern face, Rosaline snorted at the man. “Ok, we've heard your message. You may leave now since we can find our way home.”Kimora wanted to retort but got a glare that sent him on his heels.“Alright then, I'll be waiting for you guys outside.”With the man out of their house, the mother and son hurried to their bags and began to pack them. There was not much property at the place because it was a tempora

Rosaline was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, she rolled her eyes. “Whatever. You can miss us or not. All I know is that I'm back at home.”She went and sat down beside him. Bryan, who had been standing at a spot, was discouraged from going to hug Gregg after seeing his cold reception. However, he managed to say a greeting.“Hi, Dad.”Gregg stopped reading his book, turned around and stared intently at Bryan.“Welcome back home.”The duo became confused. What was wrong with Gregg? A moment ago, he was cold and distant but now he's become a little warm.“Are you ok, Gregg?” Rosaline could not help but ask and the man nodded his head. “I'm fine, I just hope you guys have changed for the better?”None of them replied to his question. Ofcourse, Gregg already knew them well. They can never change.His only wish was for them to be family again. Since Arthur was no longer a pushover, they won't be able to do anything to him. In fact, they were still ignorant of how powerful A

Arthur, who had wanted to take Nick to the Probity hotel, decided against it. The man was not a kid so he'd surely throw questions at him.He'd want to find out how Arthur was able to afford the food and drinks in such an expensive hotel. He decided to take the man to a less expensive place where they ate and drank and also made jokes together.Nick was in a high spirit and kept appreciating Arthur for giving him such a treat. It was indeed a privilege because the man had not had fun in a long time.“Thank you for treating me to dinner, Arthur.”“It's nothing. You're always welcome.”They had just finished eating and were busy with the drinks when Nick said to Arthur. “You just opened my eyes to something I've been missing, Arthur. I think I'll begin to make out some time and have fun. It's not all the time that I have to keep working.”Arthur agreed with the man. “That's more like it. We're going to do this again or more often.”“Often is too much, Arthur.” Nick replied while Arthur

“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

They were her ex boyfriend and ex friend, Anderson and Michael. The duo came to shop at the mall when they saw the media hovering around some people. The couple decided to find out what was going on. It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny. As they made their way into the mall, the journalists wanted to follow after them but were stopped by the bodyguards and the other security guards.Anderson and Michael could not get themselves to go into the mall as they stood back outside

“But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

“Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope

“Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about
