CHAPTER 160Michelle was bitter and angry. So far their shares have tanked almost seventy percent. Their company was losing investors and the government was at their doorstep, slamming them with lawsuits after lawsuits and fines.She was losing this battle she was fighting against the Boltons too quickly and she knew she needed to do something about it.“Are you really just going to remain in hiding and let me handle this myself? Everything is going to shambles,” She said to her brother, Micheal.She had travelled to the faraway country where he was to meet him. She underestimated Jack Bolton and his family and overestimated her prowess but she was brutally dealt with.Micheal chuckled coldly. “You forced me to sign everything over to you when I got into trouble with the Boltons. Now they poke your eyes and you need my help?” Micheal was bitter. He did not expect his sister who had been his partner for the longest time to get greedy and decide to take everything from him. Back then, h
CHAPTER 161A Bentley truck rolled up to the city's hospital morgue and two people stepped out of the bank of the Bentley. It was Micheal Carter and his sister Michelle.They visited the morgue at the unholy hour of 3 AM. Micheal was about to reveal the first phase of his vicious master plan to his sister.The single guard who accompanied them pushed the door open and they entered the morgue, welcomed by the morgue's attendant.“Welcome Sir, Ma,” The man bowed and greeted his guests. He was about to become a multi millionaire overnight with what he was about to do for them.“Has it arrived yet?” Micheal asked in a curt tone. His voice domineering and cold and the need for vengeance against Jack Bolton shining brightly in his eyes.“Not yet Boss, they ran into a bit of hiccup along the way but they will be here soon. I apologise,” The man humbly replied.Michelle frowned observing the place, thinking what kind of plan her brother had that involved a dead body?Micheal had refused to tel
CHAPTER 162“So that will be all for today guys, let's all get to work and make Bolton Tech proud. Remember, we will not stop until every individual in every home in the world has our AI assistant personalised to them, even the unborn babies,” Scott Lennon said as he dismissed his team after a long day at work.Scott Lennon was the general manager of Bolton Tech. He has been working with Jack for a while and Jack trusted him fo handle the corporate side of the business effectively and he was.Infact he was doing such a superb job leading the company and driving insane sales number in. Even though, Alicia was the CEO, Scott was the engine that ran the Bolton Tech Machine.This gave Alicia the needed time to continually improve the product, focusing her power and attention on the tech side of the business while Scott, as general manager, handled the day to day running of the business, allowing things to run smoothly.Jack trusted him wholly and Scott was a vital member of Jack's inner c
It was at an ungodly hour that Jack woke Alicia up from sleep. When he knocked, there was no response and he knew she was asleep. He slowly pushed the door open.He looked at the goddess on the bed and he smiled. She was a goddess in the body of a diva. Jack really admired Alicia's beauty.He slowly tapped her shoulders. “Hey…..” Alicia stirred awake, wiping her drowsy eyes with the back of her hands. Jack kissed her lips. “Come with me.”He slowly pulled her up and helped her down from the bed. “Where are we going?” Alicia asked.“Remember that time I promised you that after all this madness it'll be just me and you, for a while. Away from all the troubles and maybe we can make something work between us.”Alicia cupped Jack's face as her cheeks turned beet red. She stared into his eyes with passion as her heart raced with joy.“It is already working baby,” She locked lips with him before she pulled away and Jack carried her outside bridal style.He was finally accepting it. That de
CHAPTER 164“The palace sir,” The receptionist answered with a warm smile. Laurent was even further impressed by Alicia's status. Even though she looked and smelled like someone who had a lot of money, the palace was reserved for the most elite of the elite.It was a separate suite located at the back of the main hotel building, assigned its own butler, chauffeur, chef and domestic staff.It was a magnificent building, built to reminisce the old French palaces and that was why it was given the name, The Palace.Asides from costing five hundred thousand dollars a night, the occupants need to be staying for at least a week for them to be able to book it.Laurent was even more thrilled by Alicia now and wanted to impress her even more.“The palace eh?,” He said with a cocky smile. “It's really befitting for an angel like her. How long is she staying there for?” Since Alicia was already at the palace, the exquisite suite where he wanted her to stay for one day to impress her, he decided
CHAPTER 165Laurent misunderstood Alicia's sullen look for the fact that her man was not treating her right, he had no idea it was the opposite and that it was uncertainty that put that look on Alicia's face.She slapped his hand away from her. She didn't walk away earlier because she didn't want to come off as disrespectful especially since he introduced himself as the owner of the hotel but trying to impress her with money and touching her were two different things entirely.“That's enough Mr. Laurent. My private life is none of your business. I'm a guest at your hotel and right now, I feel like you are embarrassing me.”“My bad,” Laurent replied, raising his hand in surrender. “Forgive me but it just really hurt me to see you look sad and I wanted to comfort you.”“Thanks but I don't need it,” Alicia said with a scowl on her face. “Is everything alright babe?” Jack said as he walked up to them, noticing the look on Alicia's face.He was carrying a heavy crossbody bag and a tripod a
CHAPTER 166“What was that about?” Jack asked Alicia as they stepped into the tour car that was going to take them around the city, giving them a tour of the city.Jack had contacted the best tour company and requested for their best tour guide, even paying double what they asked for to make sure that the guy did a good job. He wanted this trip to be a very memorable one for Alicia. It was all about her, he just wanted her to be comfortable and happy as that filled his heart with the most joy.“Don't mind that loser, he's just jealous,” Alicia said with a smile. “I think he likes me and he's been trying to show off with his money but I turned him down, telling him I already had someone. I guess when he saw you, he couldn't help himself.”Jack shrugged, feeling completely unaffected by Laurent's behaviour earlier.“Well that's too bad for him, I was hoping we could talk over drinks sometimes as two business men when you introduced him.”Alicia chuckled and slapped his chest lighty. “Yo
CHAPTER 167Jack quietly followed the men and found himself in a private bar inside the hotel and sure enough, it was Laurent Jean waiting for him.Laurent was dressed in usual three piece suit, smoking a cuban cigar, with an expensive bottle of whiskey and a half full glass in front of him while Jack who was just taking a casual evening stroll was wearing just a pair of joggers and a sleeveless shirt.When Laurent saw Jack and his men approaching, he was very confident his offer was going to sway Jack but he didn't want to be hostile and decided to play nice.“Please have a seat Jack,” Laurent said, pointing at the seat opposite him. Their eyes met and for a moment, Laurent almost had a change of heart. There was something about Jack's eyes that put him off but he quickly pushed the thought away.Jack smirked as he took the seat. “To what do I owe the pleasure?” Jack said in a smug tone. He was certain that whatever Laurent wanted to see him for had something to do with Alicia and be
