I really didn't know, if it was Thomas Buck or Greg, or really who it was. But I just thought it was strange that the old man set up Travis's inheritance different than Taylor's or Trevor's. If he had known Travis was the son of some other guy than his son I think he would have cut Travis completely out of his will, not set up separately to protect him. It may have been mentioned in earlier chapters that Travis suspected he wasn't Curtis' son and his inheritance was set up differently than his brother and sister's. I was really hoping Travis would have been Greg's son. I think if he had been proved to have been, Stef would have shared at least half of the vast wealth that Greg had left him. That would have been a lot more than he was getting from his Buck inheritance.

“Jake,” Miranda Buck said, to get his attention. My eyes rocketed to her at the same time Jake’s did. She was crying now, with tears flowing out of her eyes and making her mascara run, making her look like some deformed clown. “I am so very sorry that I did that.” That was a classy thing to do, but it seemed like too little, too late. Jake nodded to her, more to acknowledge her apology than to accept it. I think she did own up to her actions to Jake. Raping him that is.

Back in Chapter 80 I said Curtis; own father may be Travis' real dad. And have thought all along that either old man Buck or Greg was his dad. If anyone was recording what was said so far at the party. I think Curtis could be arrested for the kidnapping of Travis and conspiracy to have him killed. And Taylor could be implemented in the conspiracy too.

I am sure George's Mom has kept her father informed on what has been going on with his grandson's and great grandkids. A lot of that was going on before George had returned from Russia. George has only been back about 3-1/2 weeks, but I bet his Mom knew that George was probably going to inherit all of Lady Kendall's estate. I don't think that correspondence back and forth between England and the Caribbean could happen in that amount of time. One way would probably be at least a month.

It wouldn't surprise me if George didn't put Dr. Jackson on the next fastest ship heading to the Caribbean Islands to insure Calvert's best and quickest recovery help make his return back to England the quickest. And to also be his trusted courier of his letters both to Calvert and his grandfather. If George didn't have so much going on at the time, he probably would make the trip too. Can't wait for Book 9: Thank you so much Mark for all the pleasure you bring to your loyal followers. You are the best! The Bridgemont Series is my favorite.

Because of the will, I believe the father is old man Buck. But Gregg because of his business dealing at the time could still be in the running. Stef would be out of the running as Jake's father. I guess we will all find out at tomorrow nights big gathering. Thanks Mark!

I would rather Jake and Travis being brother more than father and son. But they would half brothers. The odd's are already extremely high that Will's dad is married to Will's boyfriend's father that neither one of them knew the other. But odds that Jake and Travis are brothers would be a lot greater than someone winning the Power Ball. Miranda Buck would have had to be extremely young to have had Jake and put him up for adoption then 16 years later fucking a cabana boy and 3 or 4 times and not getting pregnant by him, not knowing he was her son she had given away, to get pregnant again about that same period of time by the same person that had gotten her pregnant 17 years before. Wow! Probably like a person winning the Powerball and Mega ball both! Jake could very well have been adopted because of the way he was treated by his parents. But still that is very far fetched him and Travis could have the same Mom an Dad. But less odds would be them being half brothers and Jake's Mom having an affair or one night stand with the same person that got Miranda pregnant. If so it might have been old man Buck. That might explain the attitudes Jake's parents had between each other and toward Jake. I guess we will just have to see where Mark's mind works. LOL!!!

Somewhere in the past chapters I must have missed something about the trailer court. This was the first time I have heard of it. Great Chapter. Thank you so much @CLJobekeep up the great work!

Armand said him and Roger had been friend for over 25 years. If him and Colin have been together for 40 years. Roger and him should have been friends a lot longer than 25 years. He was his teacher and friend before he ever did that painting for Colin's Dad.

I pictured Escorial as having more of a Spanish style look similar to some of the building on Stanford University's campus.

Yes!!! Mouse was the one I was trying to remember.

I don't remember it having a second floor either. I it had the basement or sub level and the tunnel over to the workout center. And when they added the art studio up in the attic and I can't remember the young guys name the studio was for. He may have been one the guys that died with AIDS a number of years back. I wish we had a character key, or Cast of characters, or dramatis personae from the beginning of both CAP and Bridgemont series.

Wow! I didn't see that one coming. I thought it might have been Stef or Gregg, but Jake no. Really didn't know that he might even know Travis' Mom or any of the Buck's. Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks Mark.

I live in Metro Atlanta (about 6 million people) and might be 25 miles away from my house on the other side and run into someone I know in a Restuarant, bar or shopping center. Happens quite often. I was at a festival downtown last year with over 100,000 estimated people at it and ran into 5 people I knew. 2 of them were together but the others were not. They may not be in the same classes together but may very well run into each other often on campus.

Interesting chapter. Would be great if there was some kind of paper trail or recording to prove all that Zach has heard about Curtis and Guy Fellowes. Curtis would make someone a good squealing bitch in prison. Thanks Mark. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Andre excellent chapter. Like everyone else, I get hungry from reading you stories. I looked up Newburg style sauces found it with made with sherry but not Cognac. I did find some Cognac sauce recipes that I like.

Thank you for the latest chapter Mark. Hoping you will release another Nothern Exposure chapter real soon too!

I was beginning to think I was caught inside some kind of time warp there for a little while. I was reading then got a phone call and thought I might have scrolled up while I was on the phone. Then I keep reading what I thought I had already read. Then read it again. Wow! Beginning to think I was crazy!

I hope JJ does have a stable good life in in NY and Mark keeps him there and only a small update about him once in a blue moon. Maybe someday in Book 50 of this series. I'm 65 years old and won't be around then by the rate this story is going in time. Another Great Chapter Mark. Keep up the great work!

But with Tavis's money he would not be broke. Easiest way to try to get his company back or start another endeavor!

I will take sloppy thirds!!! Another Great Chapter! I would think with all of Stef's and Brad's money they could bring up doubts in Buck's warrant for Travis. Just questioning it publicly should put a doubt in the system. With their connections they should be able to have a injunction delaying until after Travi's 18th birthday. Great Chapter! Can't wait for the next one!

Andre I have finally caught up to you. Loving this story. Can't wait for more. Keep up the Great work. You authors are very much appreciated!

Great story Andre. Looking at Google Maps it looks like there are some docks over at Le Port that are big enough big enough to accommodate Amira. Bassin Jules Caillet, its the middle bottom Bassin of Bassin Avenue Barbot. There boat parked at the bottom about 200' long and on the left side looks like it's 500 or 600' long. If I remember correctly Amira is about 160'. Might be a reason they can't use it. Looks like the upper Bassin is part military and part private for smaller yachts.

@Andre DelportAs I commented on @stlstagecomment. I do follow along on Google maps and was easy following your story. Except when they got to Arniston. "They sailed into Arniston just as the sun touched the horizon, and found the berth that they had reserved in a peaceful corner of the small harbour with three other monohulls, all but one deserted. Andrew and Darren had to leap ashore to tie them up, side on with inflatable rubber buffers to protect the hull from chafing on the quayside" On Google Maps, I never could find port or dock at Arniston. Was there one there that may have gotten destroyed by a storm. Or am I just overlooking it. It looks like an area for launching small boats or jet ski's but no dock that I see.
