The Secret Successor CHAPTER 268
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 270
After escaping, Russell wanted to tell the press about the kidnapped children, but William advised him against it because it would unnecessarily attract the anger of the Red Circle, which was a worldwide organization that many elites were part of. Even the Lynn family had to be careful when dealing with them, or they might kidnap Kyra or Russell some day, William told him.This made Russell want to grow stronger all the more.Even though the Lynn family owned multiple media channels, they still couldn’t publish about the real story that had happened.Russell brought the kids to the Lynn estate, and he told the maids what had happened. The kids were all taken to the dorms, and their details were collected so they could be sent to their homes.Viola reunited with her mother. She didn’t tell her mother what happened because Russell told her not to.Russell was leaving to the hospital to see Kyra, but then William showed him the zip-tie that was tied to the back door of his Audi R8 and sh
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 271
By the time Russell went to the hospital, the testing was done, and Leslie confirmed her doubts. “She’s lost her pregnancy, Mr. Russell,” Leslie expressed her sadness now. She wondered why Kyra was already pregnant when she only had married a few weeks back, but then she believed that Kyra and Russell might have done ‘that’ a few months back, and then the pregnancy forced them to marry early. “I’ve already spoken to her mother, and she said she’s going to come. If Kyra wakes up before that, call me. I’ll talk with her.”“What’s the reason?” Russell demanded an answer. Even though the baby wasn’t his own, he felt bad. “Why did she suddenly miscarry…”“We’re still conducting tests on that,” Leslie said. “But as far as we know, her stomach is severely upset, so whatever she ate last night likely caused this phenomenon.”Russell’s eyes slowly but surely widened. What she ate last night? Didn’t she eat dinner at his hotel the other night? Does that mean, the wonderful dinner meal at Tuna W
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 272
Russell found himself driving Kyra’s car and heading straight to Tuna Waves, even though he wanted to stay next to his wife, given she was in a bad situation. He was not expecting to get anything out of it. He just wanted to be with her and give some support because he believed that he should.“Why is it that there’s some crazy person in every home? It used to be Jennifer back in my home, and now it’s Charlotte,” he honked a lot more than usual because he was both frustrated and angry. The veins in his neck throbbed, making it difficult for him to breathe freely. “She wants to investigate? Sure, but how’s she going to ask questions? Does she want to expose that Kyra lost her pregnancy? She’s just crazy.”At the Lyncher hospital.Kyra was yet to wake up. Charlotte was no longer crying. In fact, she was arguing with her husband and looked far from the same woman who just cried a lot for what had happened to her daughter.“What will happen if I support Regan’s game with my bank?” she ask
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 273
At Tuna Waves.“Why haven’t you married yet?” a female worker named Caroline asked Irene. “You looked so homely. I’m sure there are some nice guys that would marry with their eyes closed.”“If it was up to me, I’d have long married some millionaire,” Irene sighed, “but my dad wouldn’t even let me date anybody. I had to lie to him about this job, too, because he would never agree with me working as a receptionist even though it’s a five-star hotel.”“You really have a controlling father.”“It’s better than having no father,” Irene said, knowing how many struggles Jessica had to go through and had to stop her education after highschool. “My dad has done so much for me, so I think I should marry the guy he selects for me, but of course, I need to like the guy as well.”“And when will your father find you this ‘chosen’ guy?”“He wants me to get a good job first,” Irene said. “He thinks I should have a job and have some experience before marriage. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.”Just t

A minute earlier.In his office, Seth was talking with his ex-wife on the phone.“If you are okay with it, I’ll marry you again,” she said. “I’m sure our kids will be happy.”“Uh, I will think about it,” saying that Seth ended the call. He smiled happily because his obstinate and egotistic ex-wife was now asking him to marry her again. “It seems Roddick has spoken with her. To think it’d be so easy to make her change her mind… money really talks.” Just then, he remembered that he had mixed in Kyra’s food with whatever powder that Roddick had given him. He couldn’t smile anymore. “I don’t think I should work in this hotel anymore. I will ask Roddick to find me a better hotel. If he wants it, he can even make me the CEO of a chain of hotel businesses.”The door opened, and Russell entered the room with a broom in his hand.“M-Mr. Russell,” Seth could straight away tell from the body language that something wasn’t right. “What are you—”BAM~!Russell smashed Seth’s face with the broom fr

Roddick was enjoying with girls in the infinity pool in his private villa. His personal butler, Ivan, came to him and delivered a rather shocking message.“S-She was pregnant?” Roddick was confounded for a second. “Don’t tell me… she was carrying Trevor’s baby?”“It seems like it, sir,” Ivan said. “And now, the baby is gone. If the hotel manager speaks up, it’ll be bad for us.”“Then kill him. Tonight itself.”“Yes,” Ivan said and walked away, talking on his mobile. Already arranging men to deal with Seth.Roddick sipped on whiskey and was able to smile rather amusedly. “I was only trying to mess with her periods so she wouldn't be pregnant, but to think she was already pregnant… Haha, talking about killing two birds with one stone. I’m starting to understand why Kyra had agreed to marry Russell so urgently. It’s to hide the fact that she was pregnant. She did well hiding the truth, but in the end, she failed miserably. This is a time for celebration.” He joined the girls and celebrat

EPILOGUE
A few weeks later.Charlotte was at her home, eating peanuts, which didn’t taste good on her tongue right now. It wasn’t the peanuts that had the issue, but her tongue and her mind.“Even the food isn’t going inside,” Charlotte pitifully said. She called Kyra’s mobile, but Kyra didn’t answer.Seconds later, Kyra sent a text message: Don’t bother me.“Tsk, she’s completely cut herself off,” Charlotte tossed the mobile away at the wall. “But she’s sticking with Liam and Russell when they’re not even related to her by blood. It doesn’t make any sense!”“Do you want me to kidnap her and bring her here?” William asked.“Do you want Liam to kill both of us?” Charlotte asked him back.“N-No.”“Forget about Liam…” Charlotte looked at the file in her hand. “This bastard Russell came up with such a clever contract. If I sign this, I’ll basically be giving up my shares in the company, but in return, I’ll earn in the billions.”“Since he’s going to trouble you anyway, he’s giving you a profitable

Jessica was never gifted so many chocolates by anybody before. She immediately hugged Russell with excitement. “You’re the best!”“Wait, they are not just for you,” Russell said. “You’ll be sharing these with everyone at the table.”“U-Uh, of course,” Jessica couldn’t smile as freely anymore because there weren’t multiples for some types of chocolates, and she didn’t want to give those away to others. “I-I will do it after we finish dinner,” she said. “I mean, if we eat chocolates before, then we won’t be able to eat the meal properly.”“You can just distribute them now,” Russell said.“U-Um,” Jessica reluctantly got up and began to distribute the chocolates to everyone at the table. But when she came to Russell, she didn’t put any chocolate on his plate.“Wait, you forgot me,” Russell said.She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Didn’t you say that I AM your chocolate?”Russell blushed. “Ahem,” he quickly controlled his expression. “I see.”Jessica sat down. The waiters began to se

CHAPTER 634
A few nights later.At Tuna Waves restaurant.The entire top floor was booked by the Lynn family for the night.A large dining table was arranged in the center of the floor. Kyra was the first to attend, because she was the only one who arranged this dinner and invited the people she believed she should.As she waited a bit nervously, to her shock, Jessica was the first to arrive. She was dressed in her work attire and didn’t even have makeup on. Was she coming straight from work?Jessica sat down at a chair but didn’t speak to Kyra and just waited.There was an awkward atmosphere between these two.“I’m not going to eat you, so you can talk,” Kyra voiced her mind. “You came here early so that you can make sure nothing ‘strange’ happens, right?”“Well, I have to protect my guy,” Jessica replied, putting her mobile down, “so that I won’t lose him again.”“Don’t worry then. I think of Liam as my dad, so Russell becomes my brother now,” Kyra stated. “I can’t marry my brother now, can I?”

CHAPTER 633
Other than Arnold, nobody was told that Liam was Russell’s biological father, as Elora and Liam just didn’t feel the need to do so.They believed that revealing that truth now would only bring unnecessary complications.Elora felt like a lot of burden had been lifted off her heart after she told Arnold the truth.Russell also felt happy that Viola was talking to him. Though James was still clouded by his anger, Russell didn’t feel bad about it as James was known for his impulsive behavior.Russell believed that James would understand with time.Liam and Elora went away in a different car, whereas Russell left in his Boyen Redemption. Driving with an injured hand wasn’t easy, but he somehow managed it and got home.Regan was talking with Gage’s dad and introduced him to Russell. “This is the man I trust the most in the world. He’s your friend Gage’s father. His name is Steven.”Russell saw that Steven’s eyes were completely white. “Nice to meet you, Steven?” he looked at Regan. “Is he b

“I don’t get it. Why do you want to marry her of all people?” Teresa asked quickly. “She’s been sick for decades, and no one knows when she might get sick again and die, not that I’m wishing for it, but I’m just stating the possibility. In addition to that, Russell is already your son-in-law, isn’t he? So, if you marry his mother now, what will the world think of it?”Liam smiled and asked her, “You think I didn’t consider all those things?”“U-Uh…” Teresa didn’t know what to say because he looked calm despite everything she had just said. She looked at Elora. “Are you not going to eat anything?”“No, I’m full,” Elora said, even though the real reason she refused was because she didn’t want to eat what was brought by Jennifer. Elora then glanced at Arnold. “Can we talk privately?”Arnold was not expecting that. Without even looking at Teresa or Jennifer, he said, “Sure. Why not?”Jennifer didn’t want them to talk, but all she could do was stand there and watch as Arnold and Elora walk

CHAPTER 631
Charlotte left the hospital, but on her way home, she received pictures from one of her friends.And these were pictures of Liam and Elora eating at a restaurant.“Stop the car,” Charlotte said.William quickly pressed the brake. He looked back, and Charlotte was fuming.She felt like her body was set on fire. She wasn’t able to stand it.“How can he…”Seeing Liam hold some other woman’s hand, she wasn't able to digest it and pulled her hair with one hand. “Fuck! This isn’t happening. Fuck! Fuck!”“What’s wrong, ma’am?” William quickly asked.“He’s getting away from me,” she said angrily as well as sadly. “He’s really getting away from me.”One mistake cost her everything.Her husband, her daughter, and even her sister, all of them moved away from her.The only person that was still with her was William.“Why won’t you also leave my side?” she asked him.“Does a dog ever leave the side of its master?” he said. “They may be manipulative, abusive, but the dog still loves its master.”Ch

“Fuck off, bitch,” Natasha pressed the trigger.However, nothing happened.Jessica thought she died, but she didn’t. She quickly recovered from the mental shock and slapped Natasha’s hand, making the gun fall out of her hand. “That’s an autoloader. You should manually cock for the first shot for it to be fired.” She kicked Natasha in the gut as hard as she could.Jessica was a very powerful woman, and so her kick sent Natasha crashing back violently.Jessica then sat on Natasha and began to hit her.“W-Wait,” Natasha tried to speak. “That gun wasn’t loaded.”“You expect me to believe that?” Jessica began to punch her face repeatedly, making her lips rupture and bleed. Still, she didn’t stop and kept going.The other employees gathered around. One of them picked up the revolver and checked for the bullets. “Ma’am, this gun really is empty.”Jessica was a bit shocked to hear that. “What?”“I told you…you fucking bitch!” Natasha grabbed Jessica’s throat and squeezed it. “I’ll kill you fo

CHAPTER 629
“Aww,” Elora crashed on the floor and cringed in pain. Liam rushed over to help her and tried to help her get up, but she got up on her own, saying, “I’m not that old yet.”“I never said you were,” Liam put forward the bouquet of lilies.“What the… too white and bright,” she blurted. “Your taste sucks.”Liam was shocked because it was Russell’s suggestion.Elora plucked just one lily from the bouquet and smelled it. “Anyway, what brought the great Liam Lynn here. There’s no child in this house, you know.”Liam’s expression suddenly hardened. Whether she was trying to mock him or was purposely trying to tease him, it felt like a joke that went too far. However, he saw not a ounce of negativity in Elora’s eyes. It was as if she was testing him to see how he’d react. “My child, no, our child is in this house, is he not?” Liam replied.Elora somewhat smiled. “Yeah, he is upstairs. You can go and talk to him.” She sat back on the couch. “If you move out of the way, I’ll watch the TV. The c
