CHAPTER 621
It had been two weeks since Dream Creed released, and its results were much more groundbreaking than Regan expected. The game accumulated trillions of minutes of user time in just the last fourteen days, shattering every record ever set in gaming and entertainment history. The next one wasn't even close to this record.To celebrate the occasion, Russell gave a short interview which was released very early in the morning and received a lot of views.“More than half a billion have started playing the game,” Russell said. “This is unheard of. And it makes me happy because through playing, they are also able to earn a salary soon. I haven’t worked under someone before, but I’ve seen my dad working under someone for his entire life, so I can tell this much. If you work for someone else, you will never get rich. Work for yourself, and the riches will get to you.“That’s what this game offers to you all. A world where you can work as you want and earn at the same time. However, we do know ho

CHAPTER 622
“Russell?”Liam was not expecting him of all people to be here right now. He slowly approached him, who was standing next to his Boyen Redemption.“Were you the one who got me out?” Liam asked.Russell stepped forward, opened his arms wide and gave him a slow and big hug.Liam remained silent.“Love you… Dad,” Russell uttered emotionally.Liam’s expression froze for a second, and he began to melt down like an ice cream. He hugged his son tightly and silently shed thick tears. His wounds were hurting because Russell was hugging, but he didn’t care about that at all right now.He thought he’d never get to hug his son or call him ‘son.’He had prepared himself to live the rest of his life this way.However, now, all the pain built up in his heart was easing up. Though he wished he was there for him when he was growing up, he still felt glad that at least now, he was able to hug his little boy and feel his heart.HIs life that had been boring for many years like a dog chained to the same

Kyra and Nora were eating lunch in her home.“How is the case progressing, ma’am?” Connie, the old maid, asked them.“The judge is not responding well, but we’re trying our best,” Kyra said. “I will go to any lengths to bring him out.”“I hope he’s eating well,” Nora said in a sad voice. “He loves eating good food and then working out. But he can’t do any of those in jai.”Nora’s words made Kyra purse her lips emotionally.Just then, Jessica entered through the main door.Kyra saw her and frowned. “What are you doing here?”“I was pushed by Mr. Regan into coming here,” Jessica said, and then looked at Nora with whom she was a little acquainted with as both of them had met in Tom’s house when Russell was staying there. “Russell now knows the truth about his parents.”Nora started coughing all of a sudden.Connie quickly gave her a glass of water.“What truth?” Kyra asked. “What does it matter to me if it’s something about Russell’s parents? You should just tell me what exactly you came

CHAPTER 624
At Russell’s office.Russell was talking on his mobile. “Dad, why are you unable to talk with her? You should go and meet her before she leaves the country.”“I-I want to, but I’m not able to gather enough courage,” Liam said.Russell found it a little amusing that Liam who could beat a dozen thugs in prison was now unable to talk to Elora because he couldn’t muster enough courage.“What if she’s waiting for you, Dad?” Russell asked him back. “Don’t miss this opportunity.”“Y-You’re right,” Liam took a deep breath. “I will buy some flowers and take them to her.”“She likes jasmine.”“Oh, I’ll buy a bouquet of them then. Thanks for telling.”“No problem. I’ll meet you in the evening then,” Russell said. “Bye.”The call ended.Moments later, Jessica entered his room and showed him her mobile. “Look what Natasha is doing. She’s had someone make a face-mask of you. And she’s going for rides in her new car with the fake Russell. The people do seem to realize that it’s a fake version of you

Russell’s teacher, Tom, left his house and took nothing from the house except his wife’s photo. His dog, Max, did not stay in the house, either, and followed him.Tom did not feel any peace or satisfaction by staying in this house anymore. Now that his dog was in a position to move well enough, he set out on a journey with little to no money in his hand.“I know you will probably lose this property sooner or later, Son, but it doesn’t matter to me anymore, whether you live happily or die poorly. I’m done with you. I won’t be seeing you again,” Tom thought.As he was passing by a store, he saw pictures of Russell in the newspapers and magazines.“To think he was the grandson of Regan Creed…” Tom smiled. “I was not expecting that at all. Just don’t let money dictate your life, Russell, and I’ll be happy for you no matter what you do.”Somewhere else in the city.“Here I am, sitting next to the face only a mother could love,” Natasha was vlogging while driving her luxury electric car, Ro

“Jessica and I will get married this year,” Russell said softly, but there was a hint of certainty in it.Natasha’s heart shook, causing her arteries and veins to vibrate like spiderwebs. Yet, she sat like a stone, not at all moving an inch.“After my divorce with Kyra is settled, then we’ll look for the right time and do it,” Russell said.Natasha still couldn’t say anything, but her jaw was hardening.“It is fortunate that you are born pretty, but you should let that out of your head. Or you’ll keep making the same dumb mistakes again and again.”“Don’t tell me what to do. Shut up and get lost,” she fumed at him.“You might think you’re mad, but you don’t know Jessica. She got a degree in madness when she was very young,” Russell said as he opened the door and stepped out. “But she’s become mature and learned to control herself. You should do the same.”“Yeah, fuck off, Russell. Go and fuck that filthy bitch,” She barked at him like a dog.He shut the door and walked away, shaking h

CHAPTER 627
Elora was watching television. The news was talking about Liam’s sudden release from the jail.“So they branded him as someone having child p*rn in his computers and hard disks, and now they’re saying that his systems were hacked,” Elora snorted. “This FBI is full of shit.“Even if they say he’s innocent, a lot of damage has been done. Who can erase that mental scar that will stay in him for who knows how long? On top of that, I’m sure there will be many people who won’t believe that he’s innocent. They will think that he just paid the government and came out free. If I was in his shoes, what would I do? How would I feel?”She paused for a second as she saw Ericson, the head of the FBI, praise Liam with the same lips with which he had cursed him not long ago.“When you’re rich, even your enemies praise you, and when you’re broke, even street dogs bark at you.“You can neither be too hot nor be too cold, but the lukewarmness sucks even more. Life is such a messed up experience.”Just t

CHAPTER 628
Charlotte’s face turned pale as all her logical conclusions arrived at one name and one face. “R-Russell Creed? It can’t be… Kyra, have you drunk too much before coming here?”“When I got pregnant, Dad was the one who chose Russell, not you,” Kyra said. “You just thought you were choosing him because of your distant relation to Jennifer’s family. But Dad knew what he was doing. He wanted to marry his biological son to me, who’s not his biological daughter. He probably thought it was the best thing to do so that all his wealth would be enjoyed by his two children together. It was a master plan, indeed. Neither of us both had any clue as to what he was doing. Not even William whom you kept close to Liam to keep a watch on him knew what was going on.”William frowned in a bit of shame.“He was not the one lucky to have us, Mom,” Kyra added. “We were both the lucky ones to have him be with us for as long as he did.”Charlotte visibly frowned. “I-If Russell is Liam’s… child, then does that

“Aww,” Elora crashed on the floor and cringed in pain. Liam rushed over to help her and tried to help her get up, but she got up on her own, saying, “I’m not that old yet.”“I never said you were,” Liam put forward the bouquet of lilies.“What the… too white and bright,” she blurted. “Your taste sucks.”Liam was shocked because it was Russell’s suggestion.Elora plucked just one lily from the bouquet and smelled it. “Anyway, what brought the great Liam Lynn here. There’s no child in this house, you know.”Liam’s expression suddenly hardened. Whether she was trying to mock him or was purposely trying to tease him, it felt like a joke that went too far. However, he saw not a ounce of negativity in Elora’s eyes. It was as if she was testing him to see how he’d react. “My child, no, our child is in this house, is he not?” Liam replied.Elora somewhat smiled. “Yeah, he is upstairs. You can go and talk to him.” She sat back on the couch. “If you move out of the way, I’ll watch the TV. The c

CHAPTER 630
“Fuck off, bitch,” Natasha pressed the trigger.However, nothing happened.Jessica thought she died, but she didn’t. She quickly recovered from the mental shock and slapped Natasha’s hand, making the gun fall out of her hand. “That’s an autoloader. You should manually cock for the first shot for it to be fired.” She kicked Natasha in the gut as hard as she could.Jessica was a very powerful woman, and so her kick sent Natasha crashing back violently.Jessica then sat on Natasha and began to hit her.“W-Wait,” Natasha tried to speak. “That gun wasn’t loaded.”“You expect me to believe that?” Jessica began to punch her face repeatedly, making her lips rupture and bleed. Still, she didn’t stop and kept going.The other employees gathered around. One of them picked up the revolver and checked for the bullets. “Ma’am, this gun really is empty.”Jessica was a bit shocked to hear that. “What?”“I told you…you fucking bitch!” Natasha grabbed Jessica’s throat and squeezed it. “I’ll kill you fo
