The Secret Successor CHAPTER 187
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 192
On the very first day of his recovery schedule, Russell was given sleeping pills so that he would wake up at around 11 in the noon and then he’d be allowed to do whatever he wanted until 12. From 12 to 2, he’d learn something. From 2 to four, he could again do whatever he wanted. From four to five he’d still need to learn something.This was the schedule for his first month.Time was 12 PM now.Russell was on his bed, having already eaten and taken care of other routines and was ready to see what kind of things he’d have to learn.He was both anxious and excited at the same time. He wasn’t really good at studies, so he hoped there wouldn’t be too many equations or algorithms he needed to be worried about.William showed him a video. It was a one-hour video. In the very first minute of the video, he understood what it was about: Money.How money started, and how it was used since the beginning of time.How levying interest used to be seen as a crime to how charging interest had become
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 193
A few days later.Russell was able to excrete without suffering from much pain. The 18-hour sleep was proving extremely effective, which was also what he wanted.Sansa, the nurse, was highly professional and didn’t not try to seduce him even a bit, so this made his life a lot easier when dealing with her. Not only that, Sansa didn’t even let Rekha clean Russell’s room when she was around. She didn’t let Rekha talk with him, either.Russell couldn’t help but appreciate Sansa’s presence and professionalism. She wasn’t just a nurse. She was like a bodyguard.However, what Russell didn’t know was that she was also hired as a bodyguard. And she had already found and killed two snakes in the garden in the past four days.Throwing snakes into the farmhouse was Natasha’s idea, and it was implemented by Roddick’s butler, Ivan, without anyone knowing.Sansa had already informed William about the snakes and that they couldn’t have come into the house by coincidence. He told her he’d look into it
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 194
“Do you think it’ll work?” Natasha was asking Roddick as they were traveling in a car, with him in the driving seat. “Colin is a handsome guy, I know, but he’s known to be a playboy. As far as I know, Kyra is not the kind of woman who would date such a man. From what I checked, she’s really selective when it comes to picking dates. Trevor must have been different from others for him to have made her agree to marry him. But Colin…”“Whether Colin succeeds or not, as long as he plants a doubt in Russell’s mind, it will haunt him, right?” Roddick said. “That’s what I’m after. And just for clarification, Trevor isn’t different. He’s a boring guy.”“O-Okay,” she realized once more how much Roddick hated Trevor. “Are you going to plant something in Kyra’s mind as well?” she asked.“Of course, but we’ve gotta pick someone who Kyra trusts for the trick to work,” Roddick said. “Right now, we know that the newly-wed couple are living in separate homes for some reason. It probably has to do with
