The Secret Successor CHAPTER 206
On that night, Regan went home and watched the old videos of his children in a home theater with no one but wine for company.Memories flashed right before his mind. He gave his son everything he wanted, but he didn’t give his daughter all that she asked of him. He spoiled his son by giving too much most of the time. Perhaps, because of that, his son didn’t learn some things that Regan had in his childhood.“I couldn’t depend on my parents much. Life was rough in my childhood. I thought I shouldn’t let my son go through the adversities that I had, and I ignored my daughter, thinking she doesn’t play an important role in achieving my goals.“But I regret thinking that way. Sons should be put through tough work, so that it builds them for facing the challenges outside, whereas daughters should be protected and preserved so that they can support their husbands and families later on.“By the time I realized this, I became alone...”It wasn’t that Regan ignored Elora with a reason. It was

Russell was aghast after he ended up spitting the medicine in Sansa’s face, but he was even more astonished to see Jessica at the door.Jessica silently came and sat down in the chair and pulled the documents out of the file. “If you read these and sign them, I’ll be on my way,” she said, looking Russell in the eye, “so you can continue playing with your ‘juvenile’ maid.” Even though she had put on a poker face, her eyes were oozing out anger and jealousy.“I’m not a minor,” Sansa said, wiping her face clean with a towel. “And I’m not a maid, either.”“Yes, Jessica. She’s a nurse,” Russell quickly explained while struggling to get off the bed. “My father-in-law selected her because she’s exceptional when it comes to healing even crazy injuries.”“Oh, I can definitely see that,” Jessica said icily, squinting her eyes and giving a mildly threatening gaze at Sansa. “Fighting the patient who got stabbed three times is considered exceptional treatment these days.”“Who is this woman?” Sans

“Can I take this for a ride? Just once,” Sansa innocently scratched his shoulder, which reminded him of Viola who would also slightly pull his shirt near the shoulder whenever she wanted a little favor from him.“Sure, but be careful,” he gave the keys to Sansa.“Thank you, Bro!” Sansa quickly planted a kiss on his cheek, taking him by surprise. And then she quickly drove away on the bike, making loud noise with the engine by purposely accelerating it. The street dogs began to chase her, but she increased the engine noise and scared the dogs into running away.Once Sansa cornered and left his sight, Russell looked at Jessica who was shooting daggers.“I-I didn’t think she’d kiss me, to be honest,” he tried to explain himself.“Why are you telling me that?” she barked softly as she left in a different way. “I’m not your wife. You can get kissed by a pig if you want and see if I give a damn.”Russell sighed. After Jessica left his sight, he walked back into the house, “Where am I going

Russell’s phone rang. It was Kyra calling.“I’ll be outside,” William said and left.Russell’s eyes lit up initially, but then he remembered just how many times he had called but received no response from Kyra. His ego told him to not answer, but his responsibility as her husband told him otherwise.In the end, he answered the call. A few seconds of silence passed.“Did you cry?” Kyra asked.“No,” Russell softly but quickly responded. “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t frustrated, but I didn’t cry.”“Your sister called me a few days back and told me how your father has treated you, and how you used to suffer a lot,” Kyra said, startling him. “She told me to not make you cry, but I was angry. That’s why I didn’t answer your calls. You know why I didn’t answer, right?”“Yeah, I think I do.”Kyra exhaled audibly. “I heard that you leased Tuna Waves?”Russell’s eyes slightly widened. (How did she know about it already? Did William tell her?) “I did. I thought it’s something I should do.

In the Lynn estate.Charlotte and her sister Stacy were having a lavish dinner together.“Is Roddick still talking about Kyra?” Charlotte asked, ripping meat from the roasted chicken like a brute. There were no maids around but only her sister. There was no need for her to maintain etiquette right now, so even freely made chewing noises.“Yeah. He’s become like a child. He throws tantrums every time we meet at the table,” Stacy was shaking her head. “I knew he liked Kyra, but this is too much. She’s already married, for f*ck sake. And he has sex ten different women every week, and he still wants your daughter.”“That’s because he’s way too ambitious. He wants to own the Lynn family,” Charlotte remarked.Stacy forced out a smile. “He thinks he can still marry Kyra and turn her name to Kyra Heller. I told him that’s not going to happen, but he doesn’t listen to me.”“Liam wouldn’t allow his wealth to be buried under the name of the Heller family,” Charlotte sounded certain. “If only Rod

Roddick was touring a zoo park in an open bus. Many of his rich male friends were with him. Some of them tried to hit on Natasha, but Roddick pulled her to his side and made it clear for them that she was his woman.This made Roddick’s friends wonder if he had sex with Natasha yet because he wasn’t the type to worry about a woman once he was done with her.Roddick and Natasha sat next to each other, and she was excited to see the gorillas and the lions. There were even elephants, rhinos, and leopards.“Look at that. It’s a white tiger!” Natasha exclaimed. “This zoo really has all kinds of animals.” She looked at Roddick. “Why don’t you just buy it?”Hosting thousands of animals of different breeds, and with 111 square miles in area, Hinterpark was the largest zoo park in the world.“It’s owned by the Conreid family,” Roddick told her. “They are richer than my family, so buying this from them would be impossible. Besides, this park is built outside the city, so I’m not interested in bu
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 212
Amelie was a curly-haired girl who appeared naive at first sight. Even her dressing style was modest, and so it was likely for her to be mistaken for a village girl.“What are you doing here?” Roddick asked her, a hint of intimidation flowing through his voice. “I’m sure you are supposed to be in school, but you’re having fun in the park.”Amelie couldn’t look into Roddick's eyes. Her mother worked as a maid at Roddick’s house, so she was very afraid of him telling her mother about seeing her in the zoo park.“I-I wasn’t having fun, sir. I came here to see animals,” Amelie responded, sweat forming on her neck.“Are you telling me that you came alone to roam this big-ass zoo all by yourself?” Roddick’s voice grew rough. “That’s highly unlikely. Your boyfriend is probably around here somewhere, so you can tell him to get on the bus. I wouldn’t tell your mom, so tell him to come over.”Amelie pressed her lips into a thin line.Natasha then signaled to Roddick that she would handle the gi

The black limousine arrived at the Lynn estate.Liam helped Russell get out of the car, and the head maid Wendy was waiting outside to receive him.Russell’s eyes naturally looked for his wife, but she wasn’t anywhere to be found. His mother-in-law wasn’t here to receive him, either. Other than Wendy, both Dolly and Molly were also present. And they were smiling a bit weirdly. Russell wasn’t sure if they were excited or disappointed to see him. Either way, he couldn’t care about them right now.“I can walk by myself,” he told Wendy, and so she moved to the side and gave room for Russell to walk freely and on his own.Taking every single step carefully, Russell entered the estate, and the first thing he noticed was the flooring. There was a welcome sign arranged with flowers, and the tiles looked white again like they had in the past. It seemed like Charlotte had gotten the tiles treated.After Russell entered the hall and looked around, Liam smiled and patted his back gently. “Think o
