The Secret Successor CHAPTER 110
The next morning.Jessica had ended up sleeping outside the house.“Ma’am,” someone patted Jessica’s shoulder, waking her up. She slowly looked up at him. He was a handsome pizza-delivery guy with a manly beard. He was the same guy that once stopped Russell from committing suicide.What was a pizza-delivery guy doing at her house? She immediately checked the time on her mobile. It was ten in the morning.“I didn’t order pizza,” she said, standing up. “Are you sure you are at the right address?”“Yes,” he politely said, putting two pizza boxes down. “It was ordered for Jessica by a guy named Derek. He already paid for everything. You must be Jessica, right?”“Yeah…” Jessica looked at the pizza boxes. They were from Rye’s Pizzas. “Uh, I don’t want them. Can you take them back? You don’t need to pay the money back.”The pizza-guy was surprised and kept staring at her face for a little while. “Is everything alright, Miss? I mean, you were sleeping outside.”“Everything is alright,” she re
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 111
A wedding even the billionaires would envy was taking place on the rooftop of the 77-floor building owned by the Lynn family.Every floor had something special prepared for the guests, whether it be top music artists performing or magicians ready to display all the tricks in their books. However, all those that entered the Lynn Tower were escorted by a pair of beautiful female and male escorts who were also couples in real life.The guests were taken to the elevator so they could head straight to the rooftop where the wedding was taking place. After the wedding finished, the guests could then explore the tower and be entertained for the rest of the day. This was the plan carefully crafted by Charlotte Lynn herself.Most of Russell’s friends weren’t invited as the Lynn family didn’t want his friends whispering and talking about Russell’s past before other guests.A Ferrari and a few top sports cars stopped outside the main entrance. Roddick and his friends got out of the cars, but inst
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 112
Before the wedding started, Liam told the Bennett family these words, “Stick to the script, but don’t talk about your past unless someone asks you. Lie as little as possible.”Arnold and Jennifer perfectly executed these words so much so they completely avoided talking about their past. Even when someone asked them what the Bennett family does these days for them to have gotten the attention of Liam Lynn, they just replied, “It’s not because of our greatness but because of our son. He and Kyra fell in love, and we were also distant relatives, so… things just worked out this way.”Even the billionaires couldn’t hide their envy toward Jennifer and Arnold and especially Russell.The rich young men who had their eyes on Kyra for a while now gave rough handshakes to Russell, and some even went out of their way to say, “you’re one lucky bastard,” though only joking on the surface.Russell countered them, saying, “There’s no such thing as luck. Every marriage is decided in heaven; so is mine
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 113
Unlike the rest of the Lynn tower, there were minimalistic designs used on the rooftop so as not to distract the guests from what they were supposed to look at. Not counting the wine and the honey cake that was being served, only a few thousand dollars were spent on the decorations and everything else one could see on the rooftop.There was a beautiful shade cast over the rooftop because of the clouds screening the sun. Nevertheless, Kyra looked more beautiful than the sun itself in her white wedding gown. Her smile overshadowed the bouquet of white flowers she was carrying. Most men and even women couldn’t take their eyes off Kyra. Jessica was no exception.However, none of these people had any idea what Kyra was going through. Locking hands with her Man of Honor, Roddick, whom she now knew was surely behind her late boyfriend’s death was nothing short of a nightmare.If it was possible, she wanted it to be someone else, but her parents insisted on Roddick being the one to escort her
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 114
A sudden kiss from the most gorgeous woman Russell had ever seen and known in his life was supposed to make him feel wonderful and ecstatic, but for some reason, he didn’t feel half as thrilled as when Jesscia had kissed him, even though Kyra’s kiss was a rather rough one.Kyra probably wanted to make others believe that they were really lovers, and so she put extra pressure into the kiss. Realizing that, Russell ended up bending her to the side and continued to kiss her. Seconds passed, but neither of them moaned or made a sound. Their lips might be touching hard, but their hearts still felt distant. The photos, however, were being taken in hundreds.Once their lips parted, Kyra briefly glanced at Roddick, which Russell didn’t like. It made him think as if Kyra was trying to make Roddick angry by kissing him.Naturally, Roddick’s brows exercised quite a bit. He hated it when things that belonged to him were being taken away by someone else. He hated both Kyra and Russell so much more
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 115
Jessica was standing at the elevator, so she could go down.The doors opened.A family of three were inside. Jessica immediately recognized one of them, who was Selena Sterling, a world famous actress.Jessica’s eyes broadened as Selena walked past her. Breathing the profound perfume on her body made Jessica feel better already.Moreover, the young guy and woman with Selena were both extremely handsome to look at. Jessica squinted her eyes and soon realized that this was the same man that had met her in the morning.“You…” she ended up pointing her finger toward him. “Aren’t you the pizza-delivery guy?”“Yes,” he shook her hand. “You’re Jessica, right? I’m Benjamin.”Selena cast an annoyed glance at Benjamin.“I-It’s nice seeing you,” Benjamin let go of Jessica’s hand. “She’s my wife, and that’s my mother-in-law,” he whispered to Jessica, telling about the two women that were with him, but then spoke aloud. “I’m a driver in the Sterling family. Meet my owners.”Jessica was left speech
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 116
“Who’s this handsome guy?” Charlotte looked at Benjamin with a pleasant smile. “He’s our driver,” replied Selena, staring at both Kyra and Russell. “His name is Benjamin.” “D-Driver?” Kyra couldn’t believe it. She thought Rebecca and Benjamin were both wife and husband. Russell also thought the same. (A-Are drivers supposed to be this handsome?) Benjamin tried to smile, despite what was going in his mind. “Benjamin? Wait…” Russell recognized Benjamin just now. “I met you before, didn’t I? You're the pizza guy who saved me.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “I didn’t get to properly thank you back then,” Russell stepped forward and gratefully looked at Benjamin and touched his hands. “Russell?” Liam asked. “What do you mean he saved you?” “Uh, that’s…” Russell didn’t know what to say. “A little while ago,” Benjamin said, “he was falling from a cliff. I just happened to be there, so I caught him and pulled him back up.” “This…” Liam was greatly surprised to hear that. Kyra
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 117
The wedding day of Kyra and all the arrangements that the Lynn family had made for the guests in the 77 floors of the Lynn tower was talked about in the media nonstop throughout the day and the night on a few news and entertainment channels that the Lynn family either directly owned or partnered with.On the 77th floor, Liam Lynn personally talked with the guests that came to his room and offered them any help if necessary, either monetarily or in other ways.On the 7th floor, Charlotte also did a similar thing. She paid off many loans of the guests, especially of those that were invited by Arnold and Jennifer, so these people kept praising Jennifer and Arnold and the Lynn family nonstop while they were at the Lynn tower and even after going home. Everyone that heard their story really envied these people’s luck. And they also wanted to get acquainted with Jennifer and Arnold because they might receive similar blessings sometime in the future. As long as the Bennett family was related
