The Secret Successor CHAPTER 278
Kyra, the woman he had dreamed about the most and wanted to make his woman no matter what, was his own biological sister?Roddick couldn’t even process that information for a long time. The pain in his crotch was temporarily gone because the mental shock was just too much to take.“Kyra is… my dad’s…” he kept shaking his head. “No, no, this can’t be true.” But then, the past memories kept coming back, and there were times when Harry spent a lot of time with Kyra when she was young. “Was this the reason behind all the love he showered on her in the past? That means, he and Charlotte… What the fuck, man? I thought I was the only crazy guy, but these guys are much crazier than me.”He tried to get up, but he couldn’t.Every time he tried to move, his scrotal sacs hurt like hell. As a result, Roddick was forced to call someone for help, and he called Harry.Within two minutes, Harry rushed over. Seeing his son on the floor, wearing a painful expression on his face, Harry grew all the more

Russell’s heart shook at once. He had invested a lot of time and money into the hotel, and he had promised a bright future to the staff members, and now Kyra was asking him to quit being the CEO of Tuna Waves. What would the staff members think of him? What would Irene think of him? She might just think that Russell got arrogant and reckless after marrying Kyra, and she might also never forgive Russell for toying with her professional life. On top of that, Irene could make the relationship between Russell and Jessica even worse than it already is.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Kyra asked.Whether this was a test or not, Russell found himself forced to answer. “I will make the arrangements as you wanted, but I need a week for that.”“You don’t have to go there again, Russell,” she tightened the grip on his hand and got up from the bed. “I will let William deal with it.”Russell pursed his lips. He believed that Kyra needed mental support from her husband more than anything, so he

Kyra spent the rest of the day drinking at a bar until she couldn’t take another sip. Men approached her multiple times, trying to take advantage of her, but Russell was right there, and he shielded her from other men.As he was bringing Kyra outside, one of the guys from before followed them to their car. It was the Alpha Wolfe car.“Is this your car, bro?” he asked and also immediately took his gun out.Russell, however, did not flinch. He had already made Kyra sit in the car, and so all this stranger needed to do was take the keys from Russell and then leave with the car and the woman.“Give me the keys,” he demanded.Russell didn’t drink, so he was perfectly sober. Still, his heart didn’t even race all that man as a gun was pointed at him.“If you drive away with this car, all the police in the country will be after you, and you’ll be dead before morning,” Russell said. “Do you really want that?”Russell’s calm and composed demeanor made the stranger hesitate.“Here,” Russell took

The next morning.Jessica helped the maid, Rekha, with breakfast preparation. Having worked as a waiter in the past before, she knew a thing or two about cooking, though she couldn’t afford to cook at her home regularly for the most part of her life.After making sure Elora had eaten food and taken the pills that Sansa had prescribed, Jessica went out to work. Taking care of Elora was the least she could do for staying here at her farm house, she believed.Eventually, she reached Creed Zone because Regan was spending most of his time here because the new headquarters was being built here, and ten percent of the building was already done.Jessica was extremely impressed by the workers and the strategies they used. She had experience as a construction worker when she used to work with her dad in the past, so she was mind-boggled to see the highly abnormal techniques using stones instead of bricks. She couldn’t contain her curiosity and ended up asking Michelle Arris who was maintaining

Russell had promised Kyra that he would not focus on Tuna Waves, so he picked Irene to be the new manager.It was a big gamble, but Russell was willing to risk it because Irene was Jessica’s best friend. He didn’t know all that much about Irene, but he knew enough to know that she was a competent woman, and also Jessica wouldn’t just become friends with just about anybody.However, Russell’s actions were taken the wrong way by Irene who thought that he was trying to buy her off by promoting her to the manager post.Russell called Irene to his office.“I’m not going to come to this hotel for a while,” Russell told her.“Why?” she asked. “If you don’t come to work, then how am I supposed to handle the hotel by myself? I don’t even know what tasks a manager does.”“You’ve already seen Seth work, and I’ll allot a retired manager to give you live counsel for the next month,” Russell said. “As you work, he or she will guide you along, so you don’t have anything to worry about.”Irene now fe

“Did I ask you a question that’s too difficult to answer?” Jessica blurted. “Hmph, I’ve seen people change drastically after marriage, but I never thought you’d also be the same as the rest.”“Jessica,” Russell pursed his lips. “I would have answered if I could.”“What the heck is that supposed to mean?” Jessica raised her voice. “You can just say that you don’t want to answer. There’s no need to try and trick me through this, Russell. Now, you’re starting to act like your father. Every time I used to come to your house, your dad would do his best so that I wouldn’t meet you, all the while smiling at me as if he didn't mean any harm. At least you’re not smiling like him, but I feel like you’re going to become him sooner or later. You’re father and son, after all.”Russell didn’t get angry from hearing her words because he could understand her pain. “I really can’t talk to you about it, so please forgive me.”Frowning, Jessica stood. “I wish you a wonderful life ahead, Russell, and I h

An old blue car was parked close to Arnold’s home. Inside the car, Natasha and her sister were there.Natasha and Skarlett have been doing one thing these past couple of days: Hacking Russell’s social media account. It was so they could steal his personal information from him, so they could use it against him.“Let’s see who he’s talking with,” Natasha got very excited as she checked his chat record with others. “Who’s Sansa?”They checked Sansa’s account. “She claims she’s twenty, but she barely looks sixteen. Why is Russell chatting with a minor? I didn't think he was into that kind of a thing.”“Check what he talked about with her,” Skarlett suggested.“I was going to do just that,” Natasha quickly checked his chat with Sansa, but they only talked about trivial things as well as healing one’s body from all kinds of injuries. It did not look like a chat between two people dating.Natasha got dejected for expecting too much. She still checked his chat with Jessica, but to her surpris

“I’ll live with Russell, and then come and meet you and Mom separately on the weekends. What do you say?” Kyra expectantly asked her dad.“I’m okay with it, but a word of advice, Kyra,” Liam replied calmly. “Even if you don’t want Harry in your life, he might come looking for you, so don’t trust that guy. If you let him get too close, he’ll end up hurting you.”“Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t let the Heller family waste my time,” Kyra assured. “Actually, I was angry yesterday that you knew about this and didn’t tell me, but then I realized how much you must have suffered because of it. I’m not angry at you anymore, but I’m still very much angry at Mom. How can she get pregnant with Harry after being married to you? That’s a thousand times worse than me getting pregnant before marriage.”Liam pursed his lips. “None of us are perfect, Kyra.”“No, Dad. You’re perfect.”“I’m not as perfect as you think. I’ve made mistakes, and things that I never speak about in public.”“I don’t think so,” Kyr
