The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 172
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

Mrs Vivienne was jumpy, which was why the keys fell from her hands. She was feeling guilty for no reason.Behind her was Mr. Hans giving her a stern look.“What the heck do you think you're doing?”Mrs Vivienne nervously turned to him and swallowed hard. The man, on the other hand, noticed her discomfort and inquired. “What is wrong with you? Why do you look like you've just seen a ghost?” The man's look was cold and distant, making the woman more uncomfortable that she began to stutter.“Nothing, I um… I came… I mean, I'm about to clean your office.”Hans lifted his wrist and checked his time. “Now? What have you been doing since?” He asked her, his voice raised.It was just a few minutes to 7 am. However, Hans also came early. If he had come earlier than that, he would have caught Jesse in his office.Jesse was indeed very lucky. What if Mr. Hans had met her inside his office?Mrs Vivienne didn't want to think of the possibility. Well, the two colleagues were senior staff. However,

It took Hans only a few seconds and he was back with three pen. “Here you go.”Jesse cheerfully collected them and thanked him before starting towards her office. Once she got into her office, she put a call through and got Mrs Vivienne on the line.She quickly found her file and called her immediately.“Come back to my office now. Make sure Hans does not see you entering my office. It's important we speak and I promise that he won't be able to fire you.”The woman was stunned when she heard Jesse's last statement. How did she know what Hans said to her?“Ok, ma'am.”Mrs Vivienne turned around and made her way to Jesse's office. Luckily, she didn't bump into Hans.“Come in, the door is open.” Jesse said to her as soon as she heard her knock on the door.Mrs Vivienne walked into the office with a straight face. She was not happy about the incident at Hans' office. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do about it.“Please, have a seat.”“Yes ma'am.”Once she was seated, the woman

Jesse swiftly ran after him, stopping before his face and blocking his path. “It's not the right time. We still need some evidence against him. You know that the cameras are still in there and we have to get justice for all his victims.”Arthur was still fuming but remained silent.“You need to calm down now. This is not the right way to face him.”Gradually, Arthur began to calm down.“I can no longer wait to put him in his place. He's done enough.”“I know. However, we need to be tactical about it.”Arthur nodded in agreement. “Alright, I'll just go and change for work. We'll talk about this later.”“Good. Go on then”Gradually, Arthur began to walk away to the dressing room to get ready for work. He came earlier that morning than usual.Once he was out of Jesse's sight, Hans replaced him. She had turned around to start towards her office when she heard someone call out to her.With furrowed brows, she turned around to face the man who she detested so much. She felt like spitting on

While in the dressing room, Arthur decided to call Benita.Ring Ring Ring.The phone rang twice before the lady picked up. She was in a taxi which was bringing her to work.“Good morning Sir.” Benita still insisted on formally addressing Arthur. She won't be comfortable calling his name after learning about his identity. “Hi, Benita. How are you doing?”“I'm doing great, Sir. Thank you so much for your help.”“You don't have to thank me when I've not even done anything yet. However, you should not forget what we discussed. I can't wait to throw that man out of my company and I need your help to do it.”Benita swallowed hard. “Ok, Sir. I'll let you know. I can't wait to be free from his shackles as well.”“I assure you that you'll be free. Remember to pretend like you don't know me when we bump into each other.”“Alright Sir.”Arthur ended the call just when Nick came into the dressing room. He had forgotten to lock the door and was indeed fortunate to have ended the call before Nick

Arthur let out a dry chuckle. “Really? So he's the one who has something to offer.”“Well, Ma'am Jesse did not spare him a bit. She vehemently told him off.”“She even told him to go and check himself for STDs.”“Really? She said that to him” Arthur asked with furrowed brows.“Yeah, she said that.” Nick replied. He was wondering why Arthur was not impressed with the news he just gave to him.“You don't look good. You should be happy that Jesse was able to confront him and put him in his place.”“Yeah. I'm impressed with Jesse. However, I can't be happy until I get justice for all his victims. Who knows if he hasn't infected any of them with STDs.”Arthur's phone soon began to ring and he said to Nick. “See you later.”It was Benita calling and he didn't want to answer the call before Nick. Swiftly, he hurried out of the place, leaving Nick confused.“Hello, did he call you this morning?” Arthur asked the lady at the other end of the line.“Sir, I just got off a call with him. He said

“I hope you did not call anyone here?” Hans shot her a glare before lifting himself from her body.“Stay here.” Without another word, Hans went ahead and opened the door slightly to behold two policemen standing outside the door. He was startled at first but decided to compose himself. While standing at the door and blocking the men from having access to his office, Hans asked them.“Yes, officers. Is there anything I can do for you?”One of the men wanted to say something when he saw Benita standing behind Hans. She looked distressed and like someone who fought with someone or something.“Who's she and why is she like that?”Hans turned around and saw Benita. “Oh, she's a staff member who I asked to buy some things for me. She was about to leave when you guys knocked on the door.”“That's not true officer.” Benita added and the two men exchanged looks.“Miss, what did you say?”“He tried to force himself on me.”Hans turned around and glared at her.“What are you talking about?

“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

“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 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
