The Secret Successor CHAPTER 262
As soon as Viola entered, she was shocked to see Irene there. “Y-You… what are you doing here?!”Irene’s exaggerated reaction made many people turn their heads.Naturally, Irene’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to smile before saying, “I work here, ma’am.”Getting called ‘ma’am’ by Jessica’s friend was like music to Viola’s ears. She laughed out loud and patted Irene’s shoulders. “It’s so good to see you here.” She then leaned closer and said in a low voice, “You are really smart. You know my brother has a soft heart, and so you chose to work here. That way,you won’t necessarily lose your job even if you screw up a few times.”Irene’s chin trembled as she controlled herself from pinching and twisting Viola’s nose. (I’m too overqualified for this job, and yet this little chick is telling me that it’s a privilege for me to work here?) Viola’s words were definitely hard to digest for her. Still, she had maintained her smile somehow. This was one of the hardest tasks of being a

James put Charlotte’s words behind and tried to take food from Viola’s plate. She slapped him with her ponytail by spinning her head 90 degrees in a fraction of a second. These siblings made the dinner extra-lively.Charlotte had been trying to put items on Liam’s plate and make him eat items of her choosing. It was her way of showing love by picking items that might be to his liking. She had no time or attention to spare for the Bennett family.The head chef came to meet Kyra and her parents just as they were finishing their dinner. He received praises from both Kyra and Charlotte, but Liam didn’t say much. He had always been a man of few words when it comes to praising others, so this was nothing new.If there was anyone who stayed silent for the most part during the whole dinner, it would be Liam Lynn.Russell was observing and learning from his father-in-law. Even though Liam was the with the highest authority among those present, he didn’t talk much.Charlotte, on the other hand,

Kyra was waiting for Russell.He quickly got out of his car and said, “Let me explain. It’s not as bad as you think.”“Paying the bill for eating in your own hotel isn’t bad enough for you?” Kyra snapped straight away. “Even the staff members are allowed to eat for free once every day, but you can’t? I don’t even need to look at the contract anymore to tell how shitty it is. Regan got you good. He got US good because YOU were foolish!” Something stirred in her stomach, making her touch her abdomen. “Bring the contract papers to my room. I’ll see if there’s anything we can still do to piss Regan off.” Saying that she rushed inside because she felt the need to go to the bathroom. (Did I eat too much at the hotel?)Russell put his hand on top of his head. “I told Liam, so I thought I don’t have to tell the others because the conditions are not in my favor, but I should have at least told Kyra earlier about this contract. Now, she’s going to eat me over this. I can feel it.”Though Kyra h

After the nightmarish bathroom session of bleeding, Kyra came out while walking slowly and carefully.Russell wasn’t present outside because she had told him to leave, not wanting to look vulnerable before him.Kyra then called her mother and told her about the abnormal bleeding and the severe stomach ache.Charlotte told her that bleeding during pregnancy would be common and that Kyra would also feel back pain as the baby in her belly grew. Still and all, Kyra couldn’t calm herself down until she called for a doctor.While she waited for the doctor to come, she didn’t take any medication. One of the maids, Dolly, told Russell about Kyra having stomach pain, so he hurried to her room with salt water and told her to drink it.She tried to take a sip but then spewed it straight away. “How much salt did you mix in this glass of water?”“Just four spoons,” Russell said worriedly. “You should drink it. It will help you. The salts will help control the acidity in your stomach.”“I know that
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 266
A few minutes after Viola was taken away, Russell came out of the estate, driving the Alpha Wolfe car.He stopped the car outside and looked around. “Where did she go?” He looked at the gate guard who was sleeping soundly. “Hey!” Russell yelled and woke up the guard. He came running to the car with his spine bent forward to look humble. “Did Viola go inside?”“You mean, your sister, sir?” The guard looked clueless.Russell got out of the car and went back into the estate and checked the room allocated to Viola. She wasn’t there. He checked other rooms, too, but couldn’t find her. “Where the hell did she go? This estate is too big for me to check every corner, and I don’t have the time. Don’t tell me, she went to the hospital?” He called William’s mobile.William was sleeping, but he woke up and answered the call. “There are cameras installed everywhere, so come to the backside of the estate. If we see the footage we’ll know.”Soon, both of them went to the surveillance room and checke

“Brother Tiger,” Marcus quickly answered the call, “why did you call me?”“Did anyone bring a 16-year-old girl to your base?” a hoarse voice asked from the other side. “She’s wearing a blue gown, and she has a mole on the right side of her neck.”Marcus frowned. “No, boss. Why?”“If she’s brought there, then keep her safe and send her back to where she came from as quickly as you can,” Tiger growled from the other side. “Otherwise, you’ll be fucked.” The call ended.Marcus’ heart started beating fast. “What’s the background of that girl? Who did that piece of shit Dylan bring to my base?”Marcus hurriedly came to Chamber One to meet the client, but he saw Dylan and came straight to him. He told the person in the next seat to pick another seat, and that person had to leave.Marcus sat down next to his old friend whom he used to pickpocket with long ago. Together, they made quite a team and stole things from people in a very organized manner. Even though both of them had promised each o

The elevator came down over 300 meters. When it opened, all the guards saw a guy in a helmet who was wielding two guns. “Hello, motherfuckers.” He began to shoot almost immediately, and every shot was a headshot.In less than five seconds, over a dozen guards were killed silently because he had a silencer on.Even though there was no one in sight anymore, he didn’t let his guard down. As he walked forth vigilantly, the elevator went back up. “Mm?” he looked back. “Is someone coming down? I need to hurry then.”He quickly entered the nearest room, which was Chamber Two. There were guests drinking and enjoying as women danced and stripped their clothes. William put bullets in all of their heads, including the women. He destroyed the cameras as well.His plan was simple. Kill everyone. Destroy all evidence. Rescue Viola.Everyone in the underground would still know that William did it, but none of them would have any proof for it. Even if they did, he had the higher moral ground, and so

The door opened. Russell entered the room with a gun in his hand, but his blood swirled madly in his veins as he saw what was happening. “Viola!” he couldn’t even think rationally after seeing her sister in such a state and rushed toward the bed.Marcus was forced to get off the bed to face Russell.Russell pointed the gun in Marcus’ face, but Marcus swiftly slapped the gun away, leaving Russell in a bit of a shock.“Brother!” Viola cried out.“So you’re her brother, huh…” Marcus was saying, but Russell bent forward and speared his head into Marcus’ chest forcing him to crash back on the bed.Viola had to pull her legs up,or both of them would have crashed on her legs. Russell unleashed a torrent of punches as he was overflowing with rage. All he cared about was to destroy this man that dared to abuse his sister, but he didn’t scream like a beast while he was doing it. He held all his anger inside and converted that emotional energy into his fists and unloaded all of it on Marcus who
