The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 140
“Are you trying to label my daughter an accomplice? Look, officers, neither I nor my daughter know anything about Bryan or his whereabouts. We were as shocked as everyone else when we saw the news last night.” Stella quickly stood up for her daughter while Janet tilted her head and held back her words.She would have insulted the man for asking her such a stupid question. To Janet, the officers were deviating from what they should do and were doing something else. If they weren't police officers, Janet would have given them a piece of her mind.They would have seen her true colors. The men would have gotten themselves drenched in water if Janet had her way.“We're sorry Mrs Hudson, it's just that we can't be complacent. We have to leave no stone unturned in this investigation. Anyone could be harboring Bryan or aiding his escape.”“Well, we know nothing about Bryan or his whereabouts. I think you should go somewhere else and ask those questions. You can ask some of his friends.” Stell
The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 141
Nick remembered his last encounter with Janet. The latter had disrespected him because he was friends with Arthur. She spoke so rudely to him and the man wondered if he had unconsciously offended her in the past.“Sir, I um… I'm here to see Arthur. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. Have you seen him around?”Nick could not help but laugh at her. She must be joking. Even if Arthur was around, he wouldn't be so stupid to call him for her.After casting the lady a disgusting look, Nick shook his head. “You have some nerve coming to me to inquire about Arthur.”“Look, Miss whatever your name is, I don't care.”“It's Janet. Yeah, my name is Janet.” She said to him,“Have you gone deaf and did not hear what I just said? I don't care about who you are or what your name is. I'll advise you to get lost from here right now.”Janet was without a word. After a moment of silence, she apologized to Nick. “Sir, I'm so sorry for what happened last time. I don't know what came over me. Look, I

Speechless, Janet stood at a spot for a while and waited for the officers to drive out of the place before hurrying away. She got into her car and zoomed off afterwards.Meanwhile, Bryan could not leave the shores of Vienna because the police were on the lookout for him. He decided to leave the city and made his way to a province which was very far from the city.Since he could no longer access his bank account or that of his late mum's, he decided to make do with the little cash he had. While in disguise, he was able to evade some local policemen and finally got himself a place to stay. It was an abandoned building and a place where people rarely visit. Bryan decided to settle at the place but was stunned to learn that it was already occupied. Inside the place were people's belongings, some mattresses and kitchen equipment. It was proof that the place was inhabited by someone or some people. Bryan kept wondering the kind of people who would be staying in such a dirty and abandoned

Bryan swallowed hard and kept gaping at the men.“Did you hear what I just said?” The gang leader snapped at him and he nodded.“Y – Yes. Uh, but I don't know what you people do.”The man chuckled. “You'll find out soon enough.”“Can I refuse?”“You don't have the luxury of making a decision now. You're here already and you can't leave anymore unless you're a spy.” The gang leader said domineeringly. He was the authority at the place and whatever he said must be.“I'm not a spy. Everything I just said is the truth.” Bryan said in defense.“Then prove that you're saying the truth by joining our gang. Well, there's no way you can refuse unless you want to be dead.”Bryan didn't know what to do anymore. He had just been given two choices.It's either he joins their gang in whatever they were doing or he dies.However, what was the point of running away from the law and running into the hands of people who would end his life. He didn't want to die. At least not yet.He was left with no ot

Jesse didn't want them to make a fuss at such a place. It was inappropriate and that was why she left Janet behind and started towards the place of the funeral.Turning around, Arthur saw Jesse approaching him. Instantly, his face lit up with smiles and he waved at her. Jesse managed to smile back at him before going to meet with him.It was just the priest, Gregg and some of his staff who were in attendance. Arthur was standing beside his father when Jesse came and stood beside him.“Once again, accept my condolences.” Jesse muttered and Arthur nodded his head. She didn't know anyone else at the place except for Arthur. It was the reason she consoled him alone.Since the funeral mass was still in progress, Arthur didn't introduce Jesse to his father yet. That would be after everything was over.Jesse, on the other hand, did not ask. She didn't want to disrupt the mass and only had it in her mind to ask later.Although she suspected the man standing next to Arthur to be his father.Gr

“Jess, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I just have to tell her off.”Turning around, Arthur saw that his father was still waiting for him in the car.“Come on, Jess.”Arthur led her to her car leaving Janet staring at them without a word. She was angry and envious of Jesse and also glaring at her.“Thank you so much for coming. I really appreciate it. At first when you told you were coming, I didn't know that you meant it.” Arthur said happily.Jess smiled back. “I keep to my words and I'm not a liar like you.”Arthur swallowed hard. He didn't see that coming. Jesse was still angry at him. She was yet to forgive him just like she already said.“I'm sorry for lying to you. I didn't mean it, Jess. And I thought you've already forgiven me.”“I have forgiven you. However, to forgive is not to forget.”“Why won't you try and forget about it?.”“Well, it won't be easy to forget about the past. Although I've forgiven you.”From the corner of his eyes, Arthur saw Janet pass by and went to

Jesse and Arthur stopped conversing when they saw him. The Man walked up to them but didn't say anything. After glancing at them without a word, he walked away.“Ignore him.” Jesse uttered and Arthur nodded his head.“Alright, thank you so much once again. I'll be going back to work now.”Arthur began to walk away. He hadn't gone far when Jesse called him back.Swiftly, he ran back to meet up with the lady who was smiling warmly at him.Arthur kept wondering what must be going on in Jesse's mind. “You, um, called me back.”“Yeah, I did.” Jesse tilted her head and lifted it up again before turning to face Arthur.“I was wondering if you'll be free tonight. I'd like us to hang out together if you don't mind.”With his mouth open, Arthur gasped and gaped at Jesse. He could not believe his ears. Jesse just asked him out.He was completely dumbfounded and kept staring at the lady before him in disbelief.“What is your response then?” Jesse asked when she saw that Arthur was not saying any

Arthur sighed in relief and Nick gave him a questioning look before asking. “Why do you look so anxious?”“No, I was not anxious.” Arthur shook his head vigorously. “I thought she came to insult you. I hope she didn't really insult you.”Arthur already told Nick who Janet and Bryan were to him but not the whole truth. He was also expecting Nick to see Bryan's pictures that were all over the media. However, he didn't see the pictures. Maybe he saw the pictures but wasn't interested in looking closely at them.“No, I didn't even give her any chance. After the last time she insulted me, I kept my guards up when I saw her so she won't repeat that again.”“Ok, that's good. I would have confronted her, had she spoken rudely to you.”“No, she didn't. In fact, the look on her face wasn't a troublesome one. It looked like she came to make peace.”Arthur chuckled. “I don't want to have anything to do with her. It's a good thing you told her off.”Arthur was happy that Janet didn't have the chan

“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
