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

“What are you doing?” Kyra’s voice came from behind me, skipping my heart. “Hurry up.”“Y-Yes,” Russell rubbed his hands instinctively, but the maid’s hand just happened to be right between his hands, and she let out a moan as foam formed all over their hands. Russell’s eyes bulged out of his sockets. “I-I’m sorry.” He quickly moved his hands apart. “I didn’t mean to do it on purpose.”“I-It’s okay because you did it,” the maid shyly said.“W-What?” Russell swallowed his breath and looked at Kyra who had an icy look. “T-This is a misunderstanding.”“Move,” Kyra pushed aside with her shoulder and washed her hands. She looked at the maid and said in a low voice, “You’re good looking, but you should find someone who isn’t married.”“Y-Yes, ma’am.” Only the maid and Russell were able to hear Kyra.And then Kyra walked away. The maid, however, still looked at Russell and winked. He quickly washed his hands and followed Kyra to her room like a shy rabbit.The prime minister had requested th

Kyra was in the hall, doing nothing. Russell came over and sat on the opposite couch and said, “When are we leaving?”“The prime minister’s wife prepared gifts for us,” Kyra replied. “Once we receive them, we’ll leave.”“Oh, but, wait, we didn’t bring them any gifts even though we’ve stayed here for a night,” Russell voiced his mind.“Mm, you’re right,” Kyra tapped her lip. “I guess I’ll send them something after we get home.”“That’s not polite, ma’am. We should give it directly,” Russell reasoned.Kyra couldn’t refute him this time because she felt that he was right. “Alright. Give me a minute.” She stood and went into the guest room.The maid was there. Kyra asked the maid, “What happened? Did he… make any advance?”The maid pursed her lips and said, “He… slapped me, ma’am.”Kyra was pleasantly surprised. “He slapped you?”The maid nodded regretfully. “Nobody has slapped me so hard before.” The way she said those words in sexual pain made Kyra’s heart skip a little.“Why are you ma
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 129
“Can you guarantee that you’ll never get a divorce?” Russell asked.Kyra couldn’t answer a simple question thrown from Russell’s end.“We are humans. We’re not perfect,” Russell said, thinking about the wedding day when he was charmed by the beauty of many women that had attended the wedding, especially Rebecca Sterling. Even dealing with the french maid recently wasn’t easy. He was in the prime of his mouth, and his flesh was urging for some pleasure. Resisting the carnal desires was one of the difficult tasks if not the most difficult task of an adult was what he believed. “When we look at a good-looking person of the opposite sex, can we stop the strange thoughts from creeping into our minds?”Kyra frowned a little. For some reason, the driver of the Sterling family she had seen in the wedding crossed her mind, deepening her frown.“We don’t know what the future has in store for us, so let’s not be too hasty and reveal all of our secrets to each other,” Russell said.Kyra exhaled a

The moment the blonde asked for Russell’s number, he quickly realized that he was probably being played by both the blonde and the shop owner. He pushed the blonde’s hand off his shoulder. “Shut up.” He moved toward his wife. “Kyra, these two are acting. Don’t trust them.”“Are you two trying to frame my husband?” Kyra fumed at them.“Why would I lie about something like this?” The blonde woman quickly showed a picture on her mobile. It was a picture of Russell and the blonde kissing.Russell’s eyes popped out of his sockets. “T-This is clearly photoshopped! I never kissed her!”“Are you saying I photoshopped this on my mobile in a matter of a couple of minutes?” the blonde posed what she believed was a tough question.Kyra didn’t say anything and waited to see how Russell would respond.“He’s not answering because he’s done it,” the owner further emphasized.“Bullshit,” Russell was controlling himself from throwing himself at them. “I didn’t kiss this cheater! Wait, if I really kisse

“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
The Secret Successor 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

EPILOGUE
A few weeks later.Charlotte was at her home, eating peanuts, which didn’t taste good on her tongue right now. It wasn’t the peanuts that had the issue, but her tongue and her mind.“Even the food isn’t going inside,” Charlotte pitifully said. She called Kyra’s mobile, but Kyra didn’t answer.Seconds later, Kyra sent a text message: Don’t bother me.“Tsk, she’s completely cut herself off,” Charlotte tossed the mobile away at the wall. “But she’s sticking with Liam and Russell when they’re not even related to her by blood. It doesn’t make any sense!”“Do you want me to kidnap her and bring her here?” William asked.“Do you want Liam to kill both of us?” Charlotte asked him back.“N-No.”“Forget about Liam…” Charlotte looked at the file in her hand. “This bastard Russell came up with such a clever contract. If I sign this, I’ll basically be giving up my shares in the company, but in return, I’ll earn in the billions.”“Since he’s going to trouble you anyway, he’s giving you a profitable

CHAPTER 635
Jessica was never gifted so many chocolates by anybody before. She immediately hugged Russell with excitement. “You’re the best!”“Wait, they are not just for you,” Russell said. “You’ll be sharing these with everyone at the table.”“U-Uh, of course,” Jessica couldn’t smile as freely anymore because there weren’t multiples for some types of chocolates, and she didn’t want to give those away to others. “I-I will do it after we finish dinner,” she said. “I mean, if we eat chocolates before, then we won’t be able to eat the meal properly.”“You can just distribute them now,” Russell said.“U-Um,” Jessica reluctantly got up and began to distribute the chocolates to everyone at the table. But when she came to Russell, she didn’t put any chocolate on his plate.“Wait, you forgot me,” Russell said.She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Didn’t you say that I AM your chocolate?”Russell blushed. “Ahem,” he quickly controlled his expression. “I see.”Jessica sat down. The waiters began to se

CHAPTER 634
A few nights later.At Tuna Waves restaurant.The entire top floor was booked by the Lynn family for the night.A large dining table was arranged in the center of the floor. Kyra was the first to attend, because she was the only one who arranged this dinner and invited the people she believed she should.As she waited a bit nervously, to her shock, Jessica was the first to arrive. She was dressed in her work attire and didn’t even have makeup on. Was she coming straight from work?Jessica sat down at a chair but didn’t speak to Kyra and just waited.There was an awkward atmosphere between these two.“I’m not going to eat you, so you can talk,” Kyra voiced her mind. “You came here early so that you can make sure nothing ‘strange’ happens, right?”“Well, I have to protect my guy,” Jessica replied, putting her mobile down, “so that I won’t lose him again.”“Don’t worry then. I think of Liam as my dad, so Russell becomes my brother now,” Kyra stated. “I can’t marry my brother now, can I?”

CHAPTER 633
Other than Arnold, nobody was told that Liam was Russell’s biological father, as Elora and Liam just didn’t feel the need to do so.They believed that revealing that truth now would only bring unnecessary complications.Elora felt like a lot of burden had been lifted off her heart after she told Arnold the truth.Russell also felt happy that Viola was talking to him. Though James was still clouded by his anger, Russell didn’t feel bad about it as James was known for his impulsive behavior.Russell believed that James would understand with time.Liam and Elora went away in a different car, whereas Russell left in his Boyen Redemption. Driving with an injured hand wasn’t easy, but he somehow managed it and got home.Regan was talking with Gage’s dad and introduced him to Russell. “This is the man I trust the most in the world. He’s your friend Gage’s father. His name is Steven.”Russell saw that Steven’s eyes were completely white. “Nice to meet you, Steven?” he looked at Regan. “Is he b

“I don’t get it. Why do you want to marry her of all people?” Teresa asked quickly. “She’s been sick for decades, and no one knows when she might get sick again and die, not that I’m wishing for it, but I’m just stating the possibility. In addition to that, Russell is already your son-in-law, isn’t he? So, if you marry his mother now, what will the world think of it?”Liam smiled and asked her, “You think I didn’t consider all those things?”“U-Uh…” Teresa didn’t know what to say because he looked calm despite everything she had just said. She looked at Elora. “Are you not going to eat anything?”“No, I’m full,” Elora said, even though the real reason she refused was because she didn’t want to eat what was brought by Jennifer. Elora then glanced at Arnold. “Can we talk privately?”Arnold was not expecting that. Without even looking at Teresa or Jennifer, he said, “Sure. Why not?”Jennifer didn’t want them to talk, but all she could do was stand there and watch as Arnold and Elora walk

CHAPTER 631
Charlotte left the hospital, but on her way home, she received pictures from one of her friends.And these were pictures of Liam and Elora eating at a restaurant.“Stop the car,” Charlotte said.William quickly pressed the brake. He looked back, and Charlotte was fuming.She felt like her body was set on fire. She wasn’t able to stand it.“How can he…”Seeing Liam hold some other woman’s hand, she wasn't able to digest it and pulled her hair with one hand. “Fuck! This isn’t happening. Fuck! Fuck!”“What’s wrong, ma’am?” William quickly asked.“He’s getting away from me,” she said angrily as well as sadly. “He’s really getting away from me.”One mistake cost her everything.Her husband, her daughter, and even her sister, all of them moved away from her.The only person that was still with her was William.“Why won’t you also leave my side?” she asked him.“Does a dog ever leave the side of its master?” he said. “They may be manipulative, abusive, but the dog still loves its master.”Ch

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

CHAPTER 629
“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
