The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 166
“Sure.”Without another word, Benita took Arthur's phone from him and inputted her number. At that instant, Arthur dialed the number and it began to ring in her trousers pocket.Quickly, she took it out and showed it to Arthur. “That's your number, right?”“Yeah, that's it. I'll call you later in the evening.”Arthur tilted over and whispered something into her ears. “Remember what we discussed. No one should know that I'm in disguise here.”Benita nodded and began to laugh after which she replied. “Sure, your secret is safe with me.”“I have to go back to work now.”With that, Benita got into the elevator.That evening after he got off from work, Arthur made his way to ‘Probity hotel’ where he waited for Benita. He was waiting at the exclusive suite of the hotel.Once Benita arrived, Morris led her to the place. As soon as the young lady got into the suite, her jaws dropped. She could not comprehend what was going on.“Here she is, Sir.” Morris said to Arthur and also turned to Benit

It was Morris who came in. “Sir, I'd like to inform you that Miss Jesse is now around. Shall I bring her in?”“Sure, let her in. I've been expecting her.”Arthur's intention was for Jesse to wait for him while he and Benita concluded on their discussion. However, at that moment, Benita became more uncomfortable. She was afraid that they'd be misunderstood.Morris soon left the place and Benita turned to Arthur.“Are you, um… Maybe it's best I leave now so you can attend to your guest. Let's just meet next time.”Benita felt that Arthur's guest must be more important so she suggested that they have the discussion next time.She was about to stand up when Arthur stopped her. “You don't have to worry about my guest, she won't have any problem waiting for us.”“Ok, Sir.”Arthur glared at her and she forced a smile out after realizing the reason for the look. However, she didn't say anything else.Just then Jesse came in. At first, she was confused and kept wondering what was going on. Who

Benita was at a loss for words. Tilting her head, she began to sob.Arthur reached out and patted her arm. “You don't have to cry. It's over now.”“That's the reason I'm crying. You don't know me, yet you've taken it upon yourself to help me even though I was rude to you several times.”Benita lifted her face and wiped her tears.“If you hadn't been patient with me, I would have lost this chance. Something I've been praying for came to me and I couldn't even realize it because I was busy getting angry at the wrong person who was coming to help me.”“It's ok.” Arthur helped her with her glass of drink. “Come on, take a sip. I'm sure it'll help you calm down.”With a nod, the girl took the glass from Arthur's hand and had a few sips before placing it back on the table.“Thank you Sir.”Arthur ignored her words and continued. “You said something about not having a father. Do you mind telling me what happened?”“Sure, I will tell you everything.”“Ok, I'm listening.”Benita lifted her fac

“Well, I'm not sure Jenny will wait for us to bring dinner for her. If she gets hungry, she can get some food for herself.” Jesse replied to him with a bright smile on her face. Since she had served the dishes, she went ahead and started eating.After the couple were through with their meals, Morris came back and cleared the dishes. Again, Arthur scolded him for not sending someone else over to do the job but Morris didn't think it was a big deal.Arthur had changed his life for good. The least he could do was to serve him. There was no use calling someone else to do the job.Once Morris was out of the place, Jesse rested her head on Arthur's shoulder before asking.“So tell me, what happened to Frank then. He's no longer the manager. Did you fire him?”Jesse knew the answer to her question but still went ahead to ask. However, Arthur didn't mind and replied to her with a question.“What do you think?”“Well, we both know that he has been fired by you.” Jesse replied. “I can only imag

Jesse was stunned.She quickly pulled out of his arms when she heard his words. She was already blushing but turned her face away.Arthur, who understood her reaction, smiled sheepishly. “What do you think? Remember, whatever you say is what will happen. I'm not going to force it on you if you're not ready.”Arthur's words did not make Jesse turn. She still had her face turned to a direction where Arthur could not see it. Opening her mouth, she began to stutter.“I, um… Actually Arthur, I'm not ready to have that conversation or act on those words. Maybe we should wait till after our marriage.”Jesse was not a virgin. In fact, she's had sex a few times with her exes which was one of things she regretted after they broke her heart.She was not willing to go down that lane again. If Arthur really loved her, he'd have to wait till they got married.Arthur understood her and gave her a reassuring nod before pulling her closer again.“Like I already told you, if you're not ready. I'm not g

Jesse was speechless. She could not see that Arthur could no longer wait for them to get married. Before she could retort, the call went through and his grandfather picked up.Arthur greeted his grandparents and went ahead to state the reason for his call.Although he decided to convey the message to his grandmother.“Nana, I'll be coming to visit you guys over the weekend. And I won't be alone.”His Nana's face lit with delight when she heard Arthur's last statement.“Did you say you'll come with someone? Is it your girlfriend? Tell me her favorite dishes so I can ask the chef to prepare them.” She asked excitedly and waited in anticipation for a positive response.“Yes, that's correct.” Arthur replied and went ahead to inform his Nana about Jesse's favorite dishes against her wishes.Jesse didn't want any special preparations because she was visiting the Ramons’ mansion with Arthur for the first time. In fact, she'd eat anything they gave to her as long as it was good food.The Ramo

Jesse's response was a glare. “You ungrateful young lady. Is that the thank you I get for bringing some food to you?”Jenny turned and blew kisses in the air for her sister. “You're the best sis.” She continued towards the kitchen and helped herself with the dishes. By the time she came out, Jesse had gone to her room. Jenny quickly ate her food and ran to Jesse's room.The latter had just finished freshening up and was dressing up for bed.“I hope you enjoyed your meal?” Jesse asked nonchalantly as she went to the dressing table to apply her skin care products for the night.“Hmm, it was so delicious. I enjoyed every bit of it. Although it's too much and I had to keep the remainder in the refrigerator for tomorrow since I couldn't finish it.”Jesse didn't say anything.After a long pause, Jenny went ahead and sat on the table before her sister. There was a little space at the place so she sat and stared intently at the busy Jesse.“What do you want?”Jesse knew her sister well enoug

Jesse quickly laid on her bed before replying. “I got home safely. I've just finished conversing with my sister and she's excited about visiting your grandparents' mansion. It seems I'm the only one who's nervous.”Arthur let out a chuckle before replying. “You see, even Jenny is already looking forward to the visit.”“You know why I'm anxious. I don't know what they'll think about me as your girlfriend.”Arthur let out a deep sigh and scratched his forehead before replying to her. “I already told you to relax. They're going to love you. They're my grandparents and will be fine with whoever I chose to be with, provided I'm happy with the relationship.”Jesse remained silent. “Don't let it bother you, you're already my choice lady and no one can come in between us, not even my grandparents.” Arthur added.“Well, let's not hope for the latter to be the case. I can't contend with your grandparents if they refuse our union.”“It won't.”The duo stayed silent for a while before Jesse brok

“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
