CHAPTER 131
“Why don’t you make Denver your PA?” asked Kyra.“Huh?” Russell couldn’t believe what he just heard. “You’re joking, right?”“Not really,” Kyra just finished the ice cream.“He abused you, remember?”“I know. I’ll never forgive him for that. Putting that guy near us is dangerous for us, but if it’ll annoy Natasha, it’s worth doing it,” Kyra said. “Besides, don’t they say you should keep your friends close and enemies closer? If Denver becomes your PA, then Roddick will definitely try to buy him and use him to know what we’re doing, so we can feed Denver exactly what we want.”Russell didn’t know what to say. “I get what you’re saying, but you make it sound so simple when it’s so complicated.”“There’s no need to rush. Just think about it. If we ask Denver’s dad, he will not refuse it, unless he’s more stupid than his son.”“O-Okay.”And then they spent a few hours there. Russell spent most of his time taking pictures and videos on the beach. Time passed very quickly in his perspective

CHAPTER 132
Kyra and Russell spent the next few days roaming different countries, and Kyra didn’t test him after leaving Maldives. She told him about the businesses owned by the Lynn family in numerous countries, as many as 200 countries and territories over the world.To put it simply, Lynn company’s products were everywhere.At the same time, she also told him about the rival businesses such as the Conreid family, Creed family, Blake family and so on.When Russell heard that the Conreid family was richer than the Lynn family, he was shocked. At first, he thought she was joking, but then she began telling all the companies the Conreid family owned and the influence they had. Moreover, she told him that the Conreid family was the richest family in the country, and that surpassing their family was one of Liam’s goals.Even though Kyra didn’t tell Russell explicitly, he understood the reason why she always bought and sold things at a higher price and thus increased the family wealth. She was doing

CHAPTER 133
Russell and Kyra returned to the Lynn estate in the morning in this country.Liam wasn’t home, and Charlotte was also about to leave somewhere. She saw her daughter and then hugged her. “How did the trip go?”“It was okay,” Kyra calmly replied without giving away any sort of positive or negative emotions.“You look tired, so go and get some sleep,” Charlotte said, and then Wendy the Head Maid took Kyra and the luggage to her room.Charlotte then told Russell, “This is great timing.” She put a 5000-dollar check in his hand. “I’m going out and will come in the evening. By then, get the floors of the whole estate cleaned. Not walls but just the floor.”“C-Cleaned?” Russell looked confused. “Don’t the maids regularly clean the floor?”“I wasn’t talking about cleaning it with the broom,” Charlotte said. “Hire professionals. Make the floor shine.” Saying that she left.Russell looked at the floor. The white marble floor looked pretty new and clean, so why did she want to waste 5000 dollars

CHAPTER 134
After telling the old worker to clean the marble floor and to take the maids’ help if necessary, Russell went to his room and only came out to check on the old worker every now and then. He spent the rest of the time on the couch, doing something on his laptop.Kyra, who had been considering sending him to another room, felt all the more driven to get that done as soon as possible. Wanting to find a reason to send him to a different room, she came and sat next to him and observed what he was doing.Russell was sending replies to all the comments he received on his most recent video, which had crossed 800,000 views within 9 days after release. There were more than 12,000 comments, and so Russell had a big task to do.“Are you really thinking of sending replies to everyone?” she asked.“As many as I can,” he replied softly with a hint of happiness in his voice. “It’s going to take a few days, but I think interaction in the comments will also boost the video even more.”“What’s this vide

CHAPTER 135
Kyra was the one driving the all-electric Alfa Wolfe sports car.“Can you put it in self-driving mode?” Russell asked. “I want to see how it works.”“Oh, it’s actually pretty good,” Kyra switched the self-driving mode on. “The car can see what’s miles ahead of us. Not just that. It can even lay a 3D map and figure out the vehicles that were in other streets even when they’re out of view.”“It must be sending a lot of invisible rays to get that info,” Russell opined.“Indeed, though I don’t know how exactly that works,” Kyra let go of the steering wheel. The car drove on its own, heading toward the destination. “I bought some other electric cars in the past, but they were faulty one way or another. The self-driving mode wasn’t up to the mark in any of those, but this car is different. Do you know that there are only three cars like this one in the entire world?”Russell was shocked. “What’s the price?”“100 million.”Russell stopped blinking. “You are joking, right?”“No. This thing ha

CHAPTER 136
The sports car stopped outside the farm house, attracting the attention of the neighbors, who kept peering from over the walls.“How was the ride?” Kyra asked a bit proudly.“It was smooth, but I think the car just ran over dog poop,” replied Russell.Kyra’s face scrunched. “T-That’s not possible.” She quickly got out of the car and looked at the front tires. What Russell said was right. The wheels had indeed run over dog poop. And Kyra looked shocked as well as angry.“Don’t be too disappointed,” Russell almost touched her shoulder but stopped himself. “There’s no such thing as a perfect thing in this world. Whether it’s a person or a car, imperfections are part and parcel of them.”Kyra glanced at him a bit madly. “I’m not that angry about the car. I’m more angry about the damn dog that pooped on the street.”“They are street dogs,” he casually stated. “We can’t expect manners from them.”“A dog pooped in front of your house, and you are taking it casually?”“I didn’t say that,” Rus

CHAPTER 137
Russell woke up later than he usually would. “I feel strangely lethargic today.” When he walked out of his room, the maid was cleaning the dishes from last night.She smiled at him. “Did you sleep well?”“Not really, but I’m alright.” It just didn’t feel right when this selfish maid suddenly started caring. (Did she know that I got married to the Lynn family as well?)“One of the boys that snuck into your garden about a week ago was the son of my relatives,” she said. “I apologize in his place.”“Oh, so he must have dared to jump over the wall because he knew you were working here?”“Maybe.”“Still climbing over the walls and stealing fruits isn’t a good thing,” Russell said as he brushed his teeth. (Come to think of it, I captured the dog fight and fought four dogs last night. That’s why I slept late. No wonder I feel drained now.)“Mm?” The maid could see that Russell was almost falling forward.“Whoa, are you alright?” She grabbed him.“I’m fine.”“Are you sure you’re not sick?” If

CHAPTER 138
Skarlett’s expression darkened immediately after seeing Kyra. “Why are you here? To see how we are suffering?”Kyra smiled pleasantly. “The rich man has his ice in the summer, and the poor man has his in the winter. Now, you can’t blame the rich man for the poor man’s inability, can you? Your parents couldn’t raise your sister well, which is why she’s denying you and your family any opportunities. I’m sure you must be thinking that Natasha has gotten a job, but her job is no different than a poor man getting ice in the winter. Roddick Heller will perfectly fit the definition of a man that deserves hell. Liar, adulterer, murderer, and the list goes on… He’s the embodiment of trash. The longer your sister stays under that guy, the more dangerous it is for her and for your entire family.”Skarlett found herself grinding her teeth as Kyra sounded like she cared for the Penneell family. “What did you come here for? That’s the main question.”“Are you going to make me talk without even invi

CHAPTER 139
Kyra had thought about asking Skarlett to become her PA, but then, she didn’t want to keep her too close because she was pregnant. What if Skarlett were to find out that she didn’t become pregnant because of Russell? Kyra didn’t want that to happen. No outsider should ever doubt that the child in her belly wasn’t Russell’s.This was why she didn’t continue to persuade Russell to make Denver his PA, either, because she realized that it wasn’t a good idea. She would have much more to lose by keeping enemies closer during this time.As Kyra returned home, she touched her belly. “Pretty soon, I won't be able to go outside. The belly will grow in size and people will start noticing. I want to make Roddick pay for what he’s done, but….” she ground her teeth. “Is there nothing I can do until the baby is born?”After some thinking, she decided on something.“It seems I have no choice but to pit Russell against him. I will make it seem like Russell is more than enough to take care of him. This

CHAPTER 140
Charlotte swiftly slapped him, utterly shocking both Russell and Kyra as it was completely unexpected. Moreover, she had put quite some strength into the slap, so it hurt quite a bit for Russell.“M-Mom! Why did you hit him?” Kyra demanded an answer.“You shut up,” Charlotte pointed her finger at Kyra, almost spitting venom from her mouth. Kyra’s heart skipped a beat because she had never seen Charlotte so angry before. “Look at the floor,” Charlotte growled at Russell, almost throwing herself at him.He looked down and noticed that the white marble floor had a shade of dark color to it. “What’s this layer of black thing on these tiles?”“That’s because the worker you hired probably used acid to clean the floor!” Charlotte grabbed Russell’s shirt firmly and twisted it, making a button pop out. “Do you have any idea how much each of these marbles mean to me? I fire the maids if they even forget to clean the floor for one day. These tiles collectively serve as a memento of my mother, an
