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

“You just delivered the photos and returned?” Roddick frowned, as he was talking with Colin on the phone. “What the heck do you mean? Didn’t I tell you to pressure him? Intimidate him?”“I did, but not too much,” Colin responded. He couldn’t tell Roddick that some petite girl beat him in a fight, so he had to make up something on the spot to make everything sound as believable as possible. “Once he sees the photos, I’ll send a DM, and he will likely respond.”“It better work,” Roddick growled. “Or you know what the world will see.”“... It will work,” Colin confidently said even though he was afraid of his pictures leaking out.The call ended.Natasha was still riding in the car with Roddick. She understood from the way Roddick threatened Colin that Roddick had something on Colin and was threatening him to do his bidding. She had pretty much expected that, but the phone call confirmed it.“Natasha…” Roddick glanced at her. “Why don’t you send Russell a DM?”“Huh?” she was totally not

After Roddick left, Kyra’s blood boiled so much, she had to take a cold shower just to cool herself down.Even so, she couldn’t forget his words.‘I love you.’Those three words hurt her soul more than anything.Instead of telling her parents about Trevor’s death, Kyra wanted to deal with Roddick by herself, probably because she believed that nothing much would happen even if she were to tell them the truth. That was why Roddick also hinted to her about Trevor’s death. It was his ultimate challenge to her to either crush him or get crushed by him and live as his submissive wife for the rest of her life.Even if the heavens were to collapse, she wouldn’t want to marry Roddick now.She touched her belly. “If not for this pregnancy, I would still be working outside to bring you down, Roddick. This baby gave you some time. But I promise you, once I give birth, I’ll come at you with full force. It won’t end with you just kneeling… I’ll make you pay with blood for messing with my life.”If

“What did you call this old man for, Mrs. Kyra Lynn?” Regan spoke respectfully. “It’s surely not because you dialed the wrong number.” “There is a reason for my call,” Kyra spoke in a neutral tone. “You bought Tuna Waves after all, Mr. Regan.” “Oh, so you want to tell me how I should take care of Tuna Waves, don't you?” Regan sarcastically asked. “I want you to sell it back to me,” Kyra said without hesitation. “I’ll pay you 100 million.” “Ho, 100 million, you say?” Regan was a little surprised, but he smiled and said, “Why do you want to pay so much for one hotel that’s not even worth half as much? Is it to restore your husband’s lost face?” “You can say that, and I have other reasons, too,” Kyra calmly said. “Will you be willing?” “Even if your intention might be good, are you sure you thought well about it? What will your father think if he knows that you bought Tuna Waves from me for such a high price?” Regan asked. “Do you think he’ll be able to hold his head high before me?
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 198
After learning about the economy for two hours, Russell got the break of one hour, which he had decided to spend with his mother.Sansa was the one who served food to the mother and the son, even though Rekha cooked it. Rekha didn’t like the fact that Sansa was stealing her spotlight ever since she entered this house as if she was the daughter-in-law. But she could only curse her in her heart.As they were eating lunch, Elora asked her son, “Did Kyra answer your call today?”Russell shook his head. “I’m thinking of stopping from now on.”“No. Keep calling her at least once a day,” Elora said.“But, Mom… I’ve already called her more than a hundred times,” Russell raised his voice. “Even if I was at fault, how can she not even talk to me? How can we solve anything if she doesn’t even want to talk?”“Even if you’re at fault, you say… but, sometimes, the husband and wife stop talking to each other for months over silly reasons,” Elora said. “But I tell you, even if she was in the wrong, y

“Can I let myself in?” Natasha asked, but Russell was in too much of a shock to even respond. “I’ll take the silence as a yes,” she smiled and entered.“Wait, who are you?” Sansa quickly asked, though she was a bit awed by Natasha’s good looks.“That’s my question, dear,” Natasha’s smile stretched thin. “Who are you? What are you doing in Russell’s room?”“I’m his nurse!” Sansa replied in a sharp tone.“Oh… then get out,” Natasha casually said, not even bothering to look at her for long. “I need to talk with Russell personally.”Sansa looked at Russell. He immediately shook his head and said. “Stay here.” After what Natasha had pulled with him on the rooftop of his house, he didn’t want to give her another chance like this.Natasha tried to give Russell the bouquet, but he didn’t take it, so she smelled the roses before putting the bouquet down on the bed. “I heard you were stabbed three times. How are you doing?”“What do you want?” Russell’s gaze was sharp. He couldn’t even fake a c
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 200
Liam was watching the news after hearing about it from William. The television displayed a wedding group who had made a graveyard their wedding place, and the friends of the bride began to dance and twerk on the graves of others. This happened a couple of days ago. The video went viral, and William just brought it to Liam’s notice. After seeing that one of those women were twerking on his brother’s grave, Liam’s blood boiled. What angered him even more was that it looked like the women that twerked weren’t even drunk. “I want the names of everyone involved in this,” Liam ordered William. “Yes, sir.” “And make arrangements to buy the graveyard,” Liam bluntly said and then told himself. “I should have done that long ago.” William was leaving, but Liam told him to wait and then asked him about finding the woman who helped Russell. “Why is it taking so long?” “There were no cameras that recorded her face, sir. That’s why we don’t know how she looks. And she didn’t leave her name in
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 201
“She only spent a few minutes here,” Sansa told Russell, “and I could clearly see that she wasn’t a friendly woman. Yet you dated her for months and couldn’t tell what kind of woman she truly was? No offense, but any person with an IQ of 1 would have figured it out.”Russell frowned deeply. “Are you saying I have zero IQ?”“No. It’s not zero, of course, but it’s just less than one,” she teased him.“Can we stop talking about Natasha?” Russell hissed. “My mom didn’t even want me to think about her.”“Alright. Alright, sir,” Sansa softly said. Even though her mouth was small and throat was thin, her voice was still clear and loud. “I’ve seen money buying people’s common sense, but I guess love can also mess with people’s common sense. At least from here on, don’t let anyone fool you like this. I will also be careful so that I won’t fall into love due to appearances alone.”Russell didn’t say anything.“By the way, I saw a tent at the end of this street,” Sansa said. “They’re freely givi
