The Secret Successor CHAPTER 184
A white Porsche stopped outside Peter’s hospital.Regan was the one in the driver’s seat. His hands were shivering, and he found it difficult to let go of the steering wheel. The fact that he lost his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren in an unfortunate accident still haunted him to this day, and now, his only remaining successor was almost killed because of an arrogant teenager.Regan had never feared anything in this world until his son Bernard died, but when he buried his own son and grandchildren, he was so heartbroken he fainted on their graves.Waking up afterward was probably his biggest disappointment in his lifetime because he wished that he had died on that day.Ever since then, all the riches he earned didn’t please him.What was the point of owning a trillion dollars if he had no one to share dinner with when he got home after a successful day?While the memories of his son and his grandchildren haunted him every day and night, living a lonely life in the midst of many
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 185
When he was young, Regan lived for himself. But after his children were born, he found meaning in living for them. And so, their happiness brought him happiness as well. However, given that he was a short-tempered man, a big fight made his daughter leave his side, and he never knew that he would grow cold-hearted enough to not even look for his daughter for decades.Now, he knew very well that he had no right to talk to Elora, let alone talk to Russell and expect him to call him ‘grandpa.’Sitting outside the room, hearing his grandson talk, he felt satisfied for the time being, though he didn’t like how Roddick was mocking Russell.“Mark my words, Russell. I’m going to take Kyra from you,” Roddick assured, standing next to Russell’s bed. “And you’ll be able to do nothing about it.”“You think she’ll ever like you after I tell her that you killed her boyfriend?” Russell barked, and it made him cringe in pain.“Haha,” Roddick laughed a little. “You are an idiot, really. You think Kyra
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 186
Roddick was leaving the hospital. “Did those girls leave?” He looked around but couldn’t find them. He touched his jaw because his tooth hurt. He might have to get his precious tooth replaced, and just thinking about it spiked his blood pressure.The valet brought his car. Roddick was about to get in, but someone placed his hand on Roddick’s shoulder, making him look back.The old man from before was standing before him with his head slightly lowered, so Roddick still couldn’t see his face clearly. “What is it? Do you want the numbers of the girls I was with or something?”“You are Harry Heller’s son, aren’t you?” Regan asked in a voice that had a hint of suppressed rage.“Yeah, so what?”Regan flung his walking stick up so fast it struck Roddick’s crotch before he could even react to it.“Ngh!” Roddick felt immense pain in his crotch and was falling to his knees slowly. “You…”Regan diagonally swung the stick and struck Roddick’s face hard enough to make him collapse to the ground.

Roddick probably had experienced the worst day of his life because he had decided to visit Russell at Peter’s hospital.A random old man had humiliated him in front of many people and put his foot on top of Roddick’s face, and yet Roddick couldn’t do anything about it.He couldn’t even find out the identity of the old man because the cameras weren’t working, and his name wasn’t registered in the hospital entry book, either.People had seen him get beaten by an old man, so he felt the need to prove a point. He used all the cameras in the neighborhood to see if he could find out the number of the white Porsche, but to his shock, the cameras in the neighborhood didn’t work, either.It seemed way too bizarre to be a coincidence.Roddick wanted to find the old man and humiliate him at the same hospital and destroy his family to regain his face as well as his peace.Right now, Roddick was trying to remember the white Porsche’s number from what he had seen.While he was putting his memory to

The stocks of the Longst family and every other company in the Longst lake region went down significantly, except for Tuna Waves, the only building above the ground that didn’t collapse due to the earthquake, for it had been built, keeping the worst earthquakes in mind.Regan started buying every plot in the lake region for more price than they were currently worth. He had already owned everything that Matt had, so he only needed to buy from others.The Heller family also had a 5-star hotel, which ended up collapsing. After the collapse, the Heller family would receive insurance, so Harry didn’t mind selling the plot to Regan for over 2 million dollars. He just wasn’t interested in rebuilding a hotel where an earthquake once struck.All in all, Regan had bought every land in the Longst region for a relatively cheaper price, though the public wasn’t aware of it yet because they all thought that Matt didn’t sell his properties yet.When Liam called Harry and asked him why he sold his la

After three days, William brought Russell to the farmhouse. A nurse was hired to take care of his health for the coming three months. She was waiting for him at the main gate. She was a beautiful young lady and was so good-looking Russell had to wonder why they had to choose such a stunner to be his nurse. Appearance-wise, everything was perfect about her. The big blue eyes, the small mouth, and the healthy cheeks with not a spot on the softly sculpted face, there was nothing about her that was less than perfect.Russell could already imagine all the trouble he’d go through when she would dress his wound.Russell looked at William and asked in a low voice, “Is she necessary?”“Yes,” William replied with just one word.Russell could only sigh as he walked through the gate.“Let me help you,” she grabbed his arm gently and walked with him.For Russell, it was an awkward feeling to say the least. While her perfume flooded his nose, her touch in itself gave him strange vibes. She was a wo

Jessica’s days have been quite busy lately, ever since the earthquake had struck the Longst lake region and Regan began buying every land in sight.She had to manage his timings from morning till evening, and it gave her a headache because she had to change the schedule every day as many important things came up all of a sudden every single day.By the time she came at night after traveling in the bus for hours, she was so tired she didn’t even have the strength to cook for herself. Because Regan had given her a few thousand dollars at the half-point of the month, she was able to order food online.Today also, she did the same thing and waited in her bedroom for the delivery guy to bring it.After talking on mobile with a person from the company and adjusting Regan’s timings, she began reading a book titled ‘Mind of Men.’“Given choice, men want to date women that look like they’re not from the earth, huh… That’s not much different from what women expect from men, though. Then where’s

Getting slapped was nothing new for Derek, but still, getting slapped by his sister was not an everyday occurrence.Still, he came closer and tried to hug her again.“What’s wrong with you?’ she pushed him before he could hug her. “Stop acting strange. I’m not going to forgive you no matter what you do now. I’ll let you stay here until you find your feet, but don’t think that I won’t kick you out if you keep taking me for granted.”“Chill, sis. I’m going to do what you say from now on.”“No way. Why am I surprised?” Jessica acted like she was shocked. “Oh, wait, that’s because this isn’t the first time you said that, and I know that this won’t be the last, either.” She banged her head with her own hand. “I don’t know what to do with you anymore.“Nobody told me what to do to live, Derek. I worked in a hundred different jobs because I didn’t have anybody to tell me what’s right or what’s wrong. When to take hits or when to fight back. I did everything according to what I believed was r
