Thank you for reading.❤️
CHAPTER 170Laurent was curious as he made his way to the so-called emergency meeting that his shareholders had called.Emergency meeting were only called when serious fucking shit was going on and no matter how hard he tried to think of it, he couldn't figure out anything that was actually going on.When he got go the hotel, he was surprised to see a motorcade of specially design Rolls Royce's parked in the car park. It wasn't unsual for such cars to be in the hotel car park butt it was only when an important dignitary was visiting and if that was happening, be would be informed.“What's with all the cars at the car park? Did we receive an prominent figure as guest?” He asked the receptionist when he got go the front desk.“Not at all sir, those are guests of Mr. Jack,” the receptionist answered politely.“What Jack?” Laurent asked frowning. He didn't want to believe it was the same Jack that came to his mind.“Jack Bolton sir. The one who lives in the palace with his woman.”Laurent
CHAPTER 171Laurent ran out of the Palace suite cursing himself. He should never have gone there in the first place. Now he needed a change of clothes and to make things worse, his own staff saw how he ran out with his pants soiled and smelling of his own urine.He quickly sent one of his staff members to get him a change of clothes from the hotel boutique. It was after he changed his cloth that he recalled what Eagle had said, that Alicia was his boss' woman.Does that mean Jack is that intimidating Man's boss? The truth was staring Laurent right in the face but he refused to see it. He was determined to keep his perception of Jack to his own detriment.“You're late,” One of the shareholders said coldly when Laurent walked into the meeting a few minutes later.That shareholder was Martin Dubious. The second largest shareholder after Laurent. When Laurent's father handed over the leadership of the hotel to Laurent before he passed, the Dubious family protested but there was nothing th
CHAPTER 172 Laurent called in his lawyers and accountants they moved to a bigger conference room before their guests arrived. The more he mulled over what he stood to make from the sale of the hotel, the more his smile grew. The price of not having the Blue Diamond Hotel linked to his name anymore suddenly became a very small price to pay.The door opened and five people stepped in but when Laurel saw them, he froze. He wanted to hide his head in shame. Infact, he wished the ground would just open up and swallow him.These were the same men who he had peed his pants in front of earlier this morning. Though not all of them were present, especially the one who hung him up against the wall, he could recognize the five men that entered.They also did not pretend not to know him. In fact, they snickered and murmured at him as they laid eyes upon him one after the other.These men were Alicia's guests. So she wasn't just rich and successful, she must also be very influential to know men l
Eagle slammed Laurent back into one of the empty seats as Jack walked straight to the head of the table, asserting his dominance.Eagle stood right behind Laurent who didn't dare to stand up. He knew better than to piss off the intimidating man behind him.Laurent's eyes fell on Jack who was sitting at the head of the table and even the other shareholders were wondering who the ma was.His aura was so confident and dominant even he was just wearing a casual jean and shirt compared to the expensive suits that they all wore. Laurent couldn't believe what his eyes saw, the men who had come in before all stood and bowed the moment Jack took this seat and it wasn't until Jack waved his hand that they sat back down.He felt a tremor in his spine. Was Jack really their boss? He was just a gigolo right? Why were they showing him so much respect, is it because of Alicia?He let this thoughts stay in his mind and didn't voice them. He peed his pants last time when Eagle had him strung up again
Laurent's cheek were swollen as he reclined in his couch at home, massaging it with an ice pack. His entire face hurt and Eagle had only gotten to slap number ten when Laurent collapsed and passed out.He woke up four hours later at the hotel's infirmary. He winced in pain as he massaged his face. The image of Jack's smile crossed his face as he winced in pain. Jack was smiling from ear to ear as Eagle landed slap after slap on him.Jack turned out to be powerful after all. He picked up his iPad and decided to Google the name ‘’Jack Bolton'. He was shocked at what he saw. Jack was a trillioniare? Not just any trillioniare but a multi trillioniare?He saw all the numerous achievements Jack had made and he frowned. From how he almost single handedly turned Coral city into the biggest economy and invest hub in the United States to how his new company was making rounds with their latest tech innovation.He frowned deeply. Multi trillioniare or not, he hated Jack. Jack was not the one res
CHAPTER 175“My allegiance was to your father, not to you,” Evan King, the leader of a notorious french mob said as he blew the smoke from his cigarette on Laurent's face.A few years back, Evan had gotten into some real trouble with the authorities and was on the run for his life. It was Laurent's father who did not even know who he was at the time that gave him shelter from them.And when he found out who Evan really was, instead of ratting him out like Evan expected, he helped Evan fake his death and he got off the most wanted list of criminals in the country with everyone believing he was dead.It was after this incident that Evan swore his allegiance to Laurent's father to always protect him and his family.After Laurent called him yesterday, he asked that they meet in his lair and Laurent came, ready to say anything to indict Jack for Evan to go after him and kill him.“Your allegiance was to my father, yes. But you promised to protect his family and now I'm in trouble, someone
CHAPTER 176Jack and Alicia had just escorted Eagle, Austin and the rest of their lawyers to the airport as they returned back to Coral city.The deal for the hotel had been finalised. In three months, the payments will be completed and the hotel which has been known as the blue diamond hotel for over ten decades will now be called the Plan Royal Hotel.Jack already had the plan launched in his head. This hotel was going to be his first major break into the international scene in the hospitality business.Jack had looked into the profile of all the board members to find who he would select as the person to run the hotel on his behalf here in Paris like Austin Miller did back in Coral city.David Dupont was the man he selected. Asides from David's impeccable career profile, he showed great character and cunning, taking advantage of Laurent's misdeed and using it against him and that was a trait that Jack himself had which impressed him. He also spoke up on behalf of the others like a tr
CHAPTER 177Jack was first blindfolded and then a bag was put over his head before he was handcuffed and thrown in a van. After a drive that lasted for about thirty minutes, he was brought out of the van and from the loud music he could hear from the place he was led into, he knew it was some kind of club.It was Evan King's nightclub, one of the most successful nightclubs in the city, even dubbed king of the night life because of how much it attracted all kinds of night crawlers and big money spenders.In the open it was a nightclub but behind the scenes, it was just a front for Evan King's lair. Jack was thrown into a seat and his blindfold was taken off but his handcuffs were still on. He squinted his eyes open because of the bright lights that welcomed his eyes.When he opened them fully, he was welcomed with two big eyes staring back at him, belonging to a grumpy looking man that looked like he was in his early fifties.The man had several scars along his face, a sign that he h
