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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 118
Russell’s heart was beating extremely fast. He still couldn’t quite believe that he married the most beautiful girl in the school and was now sitting on the same bed as her, waiting for him to grab her and do something.But he had literally zero experience, so he didn’t know how to proceed. His hand slowly reached out and rested on her thigh.Kyra glanced at him with a bit of a cold look. “We are married, but how can you touch me like this?”Russell quickly withdrew his hand, but he looked at her with a confused expression. “I, uh…” he didn’t know what to say. How else was he supposed to touch her?“I thought you would wait, but you are in such a hurry,” Kyra blurted. “It seems you’re no different from most other men I’ve met. They’ve all looked for opportunities to touch me. The only difference is that you waited until we got married.”“T-That’s not true,” Russell tried to talk, but she raised her hand.“Don’t try to explain yourself as that’ll make you look even more stupid,” she ha
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 119
On the same night of the wedding day, on the rooftop of the Creed Tech company, Regan kept on drinking, despite Gage trying to stop him.“You should stop, Boss,” Gage warned. “You have drunk too much already. If you continue like this, you’ll end up vomiting.”“Idiot. I’m drinking because I’m happy, so it won’t hurt even if I drink until dawn,” Regan blurted and gulped on wine. “Haah, my marriage happened about sixty years ago, and I don’t even remember what happened that night. Do you know why?”Gage shook his head.“I have seen everything there’s to see in a woman’s body before marriage itself,” Regan said, looking slightly guilty. “I knew my wife before marriage, and so there was nothing left for us both to see after marriage. Maybe that’s why we’ve quarreled all the time. We were like love birds before marriage, but something changed after marriage. We lost all the thrill, and life felt boring. We ended up divorcing in the end for reasons that feel so stupid right now.”“I’m sorry
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 120
Russell woke up shivering and realized that he had actually slept on the couch. He surely didn’t expect that he’d sleep on the couch the very first night after marriage.“You finally woke up,” Kyra’s icy voice reached him. She was sitting on the bed and was no longer in her wedding gown. She was wearing regular clothes now. It was a sparkling blue dress that was pretty attractive. “You should freshen up quickly. We’ll be going out on a honeymoon for three days.”Russell’s face lit up. He immediately stood like a spring chicken. “D-Did I hear it correctly? W-We’re going on a honeymoon?”“Don’t overthink,” Kyra said with a plain face. “We’re only going on a honeymoon to fool the public. It’s a mandatory thing newly wed couples do, right? That’s what my mom said. Still, we won’t be touching each other on this honeymoon.”Russell’s shoulders flailed. He had always imagined the honeymoon being a time of sexual bliss where the husband and wife wouldn’t want to be apart from each other even

Self-indulgent. This was the only word that came to Russell’s mind after seeing the first class services in the flight that was now headed to another country.There were five different groups traveling on the flight right now, all of whom were at least billionaires.One of those groups was Russell and Kyra. Each group had two large couches, a separate television, tablets, magazines, shelves full of food and liquor, and a separate bathroom as well.Russell kept staring at the ticket. “200,000 dollars per party. Isn’t this just too much? We won’t even be able to eat all the food and drink all the wine. Yesterday also, a lot of food was wasted. We could have fed the homeless people.” He looked at Kyra, but she didn’t look to be in a good mood.Luckily, he at least knew the reason why she was like this. It was because this flight belonged to the Heller family. So, Kyra and Russell didn’t even need to pay for the ticket. It was Charlotte who had booked these tickets. Kyra was angry because
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 122
Russell’s POV:This was the first time I came to another country, and also the first time for me getting noticed by many women as I was walking with my wife. This had never happened to me before, definitely not in this proportion. It was as if Kyra’s presence around me completely changed the perspective of women when they were looking at me.To solidify this thought, I began receiving a lot of messages from girls in my DM. I didn’t even know most of these girls, and they were already trying to flirt with me, despite knowing that I was married, which I felt was crazy, to say the least. I completely lost respect for these women, even though I never personally met them. Still, I couldn’t be angry at them because just like them, I couldn’t identify the woman I wanted either, which was why I had ended up dating Natasha. Until Natasha revealed her true self, I couldn’t look beyond what I saw. I had assumed that Natasha was a good woman because she had acted nice with me.“I assumed that she
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 123
Russell’s POV:The minute you let people know you have money is the moment you will end up attracting the wrong type of attention.That’s what started happening to us right now.A group of four men began following us. There could be more of them stationed at different places. My heart started racing against my will.I didn’t tell Kyra because I didn’t want her to panic.If she panicked, those men might realize it and act in haste.“Let’s stop at that cafe,” I insisted.“Mm? Didn’t we just eat? I’m not hungry,” Kyra replied. I still grabbed her hand and took her with me. It was easy because she didn’t resist.We sat down, and these four men also sat at a different seat. This confirmed that they were definitely following us, but I tried not to look at them.But then I wouldn’t know what they’re planning, so I ended up staring straight at them. A few seconds later, they probably realized that I caught onto whatever that they were up to, and I acted like I was trying to call someone. This
