The Secret Successor CHAPTER 293
“Excuse me for a second.” Regan told Jessica, then went to the side.Jessica wondered who called him because most calls would come to her mobile as she was supposed to manage his calls, all but personal ones.Regan answered the call.“Regan Creed,” Charlotte’s voice was neutral. “I want to talk to you about a big business deal. It will greatly benefit both of us. When can we meet?”“I wouldn’t have answered your call if you and Liam were still together,” Regan responded, “but since I heard this morning that you two have applied for divorce, I will listen to what you have to say. As for when we can meet, how about now?”“Now?”“Yeah. Come over to the Creed Zone.” He ended the call.“This old punk…” Charlotte hissed through gritted teeth. “He’s as rude as ever. If not for the profits I earn from this deal, I wouldn’t have ever called him!”In the farmhouse.The house had been pretty silent since Jessica left. Elora didn’t enter Kyra’s room again, even though she very much wanted to talk
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 294
FOR YOU.Kyra repeated these two words a lot because they worked like a charm. Every time she wanted to win an argument or get her job done, she said along the lines of ‘I left my mom for you.’Russell didn’t get frustrated by her approach, at least not yet. They didn’t spend the entire day in the farm house. Upon her insistence, Russell took her on a drive on the superbike that he had given away to Sansa. He didn’t have to tell Kyra that it was given to him by Regan because it no longer belonged to him.Kyra made Russell drive fast. For her, he had to drive at speeds over 100 kmph. She wanted him to hit 100mph, but he made it clear that it was beyond him. So, she sat in the driving seat and took him for a ride that he would probably never forget in his life. Even though they had no protective gear other than helmets, Kyra reached 200kmph. All Russell heard was the sound of the wind and the engine blasting in his ears while his heart danced in his mouth. He ended up squeezing Kyra’s b

In Roddick’s villa.Roddick had tied up all of his friends, except for Natasha and Scarlett who had locked themselves in the washroom.His friends were begging him to let them go. They promised him they wouldn’t tell anyone about him becoming incapable of having sex, at least from what the girls that had entered the room with him told others and laughed about it.Roddick wanted to kill all of them, but Ivan convinced him that some kind of punishment would be better because some of his friends were also sons of billionaires.Roddick felt so anxious and unsettled at the moment he couldn’t even think of a punishment. He just told Ivan to deal with them so they would never open their mouths, and then Roddick locked himself up in a room. It just happened to be the same room where Natasha and Skarlett had hid in the bathroom.Ivan dealt with the issue using his wits. He told everyone that he had their nude pictures and videos, and that if they so much as ever let a word out wrongly about Ro
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 296
At one of the famous beauty shops of the country.Natasha and Scarlett were sitting outside. Both of them looked happy and excited because Roddick had added 100 million dollars to Natasha’s account to just thank her for the pictures and videos she had given him. He also gave Skarlett a million dollars as extra.“Why do you want me to buy a beauty shop, sis?” Natasha asked. “I was thinking that we should do real estate now that we have so much money.”“Real estate is still too early for you. Buying a beauty shop is way better because you know how this field works,” Skarlett explained. “Luxury is for privileged people. And we’ll offer our services to such people who think that the more money we charge, the better it is for them. We make more money by making the privileged feel even more privileged. For that we’ll need to buy an already established shop which has loyal elite customers.”“So you want to earn more with less customers, huh.”“Not just that. A beauty shop is where the rich f
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 297
On the same night.Upon Kyra’s order, William brought food from outside, and he brought food for everyone. However, Elora, Rekha, and Jessica were together cooking dishes, so they were left shocked when Kyra said, “I ordered food from a five-star restaurant, so you should all eat this.”Rekha felt so happy because she had never eaten five-star hotel food in her life before. However, the same couldn’t be said for Jessica and Elora.Still, Jessica couldn’t say anything because she was afraid that Kyra might just tell her to leave. After her boss specifically told her to stay at this house, she felt greatly pressured to stay in this house, even though it hurt her unimaginably to see Russell and Kyra together. As proof, Jessica didn’t speak a single word with Russell ever since coming home that evening.Elora, on the other hand, continued to cook. When Jessica asked her why she’s still cooking, Elora told her that she didn’t want the curries to go to waste. After cooking, she was planning

“This friend of yours…” Kyra asked out of intrigue. “How is he/she doing now?”“Uh, well, he’s…” Jessica was saying.Russell suddenly coughed. “Excuse me,” he then drank some water.“He’s doing fine now,” Jessica said, stopping herself from telling Kyra that her friend was none other than Russell, because Russell didn’t seem to want Kyra to know that fact, at least not at the moment.“That’s good to hear,” Kyra had a warm smile on her face.Elora also loved what she heard and ended up applying extra butter on a sandwich and putting it on Jessica’s plate even though Jessica said her stomach was already almost full. “Don’t be shy and eat,” Elora told her.Jessica pursed her lips and said, ‘thank you,’ before picking up the sandwich. It reminded her of her childhood. “We used to eat lots of peanut butter together when we were in school, didn’t we, Russell?”“Pfft,” Russell ended up spitting whatever mixture that was in his mouth.It was only then Jessica realized that she got caught up i
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 299
The next morning.Jessica woke up early but still didn’t have the time to prepare breakfast for everyone. She said goodbye to Elora because she was not going to come to this house anymore because it didn’t feel appropriate. Moreover, Jessica didn’t want to keep her brother alone in the house for too long, and she also wanted to try a different method on treating her brother so he might just quit his bad habits and reform himself.Jessica didn’t get to say anything to Russell or Kyra because their room door was closed. Still, she left a small note that read ‘Wish you joy, peace, and lovely children.’Moments after she stuck that note on the door and left the house, Russell opened the door and ended up seeing the note.It made him feel guilty for some reason. He squeezed the note in his hand and then realized that his mother was watching.“Ahem, Mom, when did you wake up?” He tried to smile and act like nothing was wrong.“My health is improving, so I’m waking up early these days,” Elor
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 300
Two months later.Kyra was still in the farm house, watching the business news. The anchor said, “A big blow to Liam Lynn as he loses the oil and gas tenders. He lost the bid to Brendon Conreid, the eldest son of Parul Conreid, the richest man in the country. The surprising thing is that he only lost by 1 dollar margin. Is it a coincidence, or… what do you think?”Kyra’s expression turned dark. “1 dollar? These bastards couldn’t defeat my dad directly, so they’re bribing the government officials now? What web portal conducted these tenders?”In the past two months, Liam was targeted by not just Brendon Conreid, but also every person that Liam had contacted and shared information with in the past one year.Kyra was smart enough to doubt everyone, and the person she suspected the most was none other than her own mother. Charlotte would know more about Liam’s contacts and meetings because William worked for her as well as her husband.“I can’t believe she’s now joined hands with others a
