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

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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 124
Russell’s POV:“Sell this product?” I looked at Kyra in shock. “Are you serious?”“Very much. Sell this product to ME,” Kyra bluntly said.‘To you?” I was even more shocked. My blood started running fast. I knew how rich she was, so how could I sell a toilet seat to someone like her?“What’s taking you so long?” Kyra crinkled the corners of her eyes. She was definitely a little angry. “Sell me the damn thing. What’s the price? Of that pink-colored one.”“Uh…” I quickly took a look at a pink-colored toilet seat. “200 euros.”“Why should I pay 200 euros for a freaking toilet seat?” Kyra asked.“T-That’s a good question,” I pondered on what she said. And I realized that I don’t even know what was a reasonable price to pay for a toilet seat? So how could I negotiate with her?As I was thinking, a bald man in a black suit came scuttling and greeted Kyra with a lowered back. “It’s an honor to meet you, Madam.”The assistants were shocked to see their manager humbling himself before such a y
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 125
Kyra’s POV:Russell was talking with the manager because I had told the manager to teach him about a few things, so the manager took Russell for a trip around the store.That said, I must say it was a little funny when he fainted after hearing that a few specialists would be working under him. He must be afraid, but he’s also a Lynn now. And Lynns are afraid of nothing.And I mean, nothing, as far as business was concerned.I decided to freely give away 2000 toilet seats to the most frequent customers of Lynnware in France. While not every customer would need a new toilet seat, there should be some who would appreciate it. Moreover, I have decided to get a few public restrooms built here and there in this country because I heard they were short on public restrooms. Building these restrooms near the Lynnware stores or Lynn company’s buildings would do good, so that was the plan I had. It wouldn’t cost much money, so I wouldn’t even need to talk with my parents about this.My phone rang
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 126
Kyra’s POV:If my dad didn’t like any product he brought from other companies, he would then build that product in his own company. That was how the Lynn car and motorbike company came into existence. With a market cap of over a hundred billion, it was doing pretty well.Knowing my dad, he wouldn’t have agreed to the marriage unless he had already tested Russell one way or another. This theory of mine gained ground after I learned that my grandmother was working as a maid under Russell’s mother. She was probably testing to see how Russell and his mom actually were.My dad and grandmother might have given a pass grade for Russell, but I still didn’t give that grade.The men that followed after we came down the eiffel tower were actually hired by me. It was just a little test to see how Russell would react, and he did a decent job, though he didn’t live up to my expectations. Women need men when going outside for protection, and Russell had somehow passed the first test.He then success
