Russell grabbed the tree trunk and shook it.“Wait, wait,” Kyra was saying in a hurry, but then the guavas fell all around her. One of the guavas even crashed on her head, making her hiss in pain. “Aw!”“I’m sorry!” Russell hurried over and started blowing air on top of her head, which suddenly took Kyra to her school days when some of her friends used to do that. His gesture made her forget the pain. She wanted him to keep doing that. After half-minute, he stopped blowing air and gently kissed her on that spot. It felt like his lips sucked some of the pain away. “Is it still hurting?”“It’s still lingering,” she said.He kissed her again. “Now?”She smiled. “It’s gone.” To thank his efforts, she planted a kiss on his hands with which he had shaken the tree. “Your hands look soft from afar, but they are rough.”“I’ve gone through a hellish training in the Agnar clan’s grounds,” Russell replied. “I think I can fight a bear now.”Kyra chuckled. “You surely jest.” she pinched his cheek.
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 305
Russell was outside the farm house, ordering pizzas, burgers, and other fast food from online delivery services. It had been many decades since his mother had eaten a pizza with spices added, so he felt really driven to make her eat the best fast food items. Right now, she very much seemed capable of eating fast food, after all.Inside the farmhouse.“I’ve been a little rude to you,” Kyra pursed her lips. “I’m sorry.”“You are like a daughter to me, and daughters can be rude to their mothers sometimes,” Elora replied, “because who else is going to bear with them?”Kyra smiled in response. “Uh, you are going to look for a job, right? How about I give you a recommendation? It will make things easier.”“I’ll figure something out on my own, Kyra, so don’t worry about me,” Elora said. “And I’m not going to stay here for long and bother your privacy. I’ll leave after eating whatever Russell is ordering.”“You can stay here for a few days until you find a job, Mother-in-law,” Kyra hesitantly
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 306
James started coming to school after two months. None of his friends knew about him attempting suicide because it was kept secret, so they showered him with all sorts of questions. James didn’t even stay at home in the past two months but was taken to a trip outside, so it was easy for him to tell others that he was visiting the foreign countries these past two months. He even showed them pictures for proof.To his good or bad luck, Amelie didn’t come to school, but her classmates still kept talking about her.One of the friends told James about her, “You wouldn’t believe it. My cousin just happened to take me to a bachelor’s party, and there she was. Amelie along with a few pretty girls. They were picking guys off for the night. Nobody picked me, unfortunately, but my cousin said he had the greatest experience that night, and that those drunken girls were insatiable. I’m going to go to the next party and get a girl for myself and lose my virginity no matter what. Do you also want to
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 307
Russell, Elora, and Kyra had eaten fast food items at their home until they couldn’t eat anymore.Rekha was also there, but she didn’t participate because she had come here just after eating, so she felt quite unlucky. Still, she was planning to take the leftovers home.After finishing the meal, Elora took Russell out into the garden to speak privately.“I’m going out on a little journey,” she said.“What?” Russell looked confused. “Where? You just came, Mom. At least rest here for a few days.”“You have a beautiful wife, Russell. I don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb in this house,” she said, touching his cheek. “I’m not leaving permanently, so don’t resist me.”“Then…” Russell hesitantly said, “let me give you some money.”Elora smiled. “Okay, but no more than a thousand dollars. Otherwise, I won’t even take a penny.”“Alright,” Russell reluctantly nodded.“One more thing,” Elora leaned closer and whispered, “don’t distance yourself from your siblings. If they ask you for anyt

Gage helped Regan get back into his car and then gave him tablets and water. He also opened the car window so that Regan could breathe better.Regan was no longer crying, but his fists were clenched.“I can’t believe she’s so heartless that she wouldn’t give you a second chance,” Gage blurted in anger. “How could she act like this toward her own dad? Say whatever you want, Boss, but you shouldn’t beg her again. You’ve already done it three times now. Please don’t do it again. If I tell my dad that I let you cry on the street, he’ll kick me in the face and spit on me.”Regan began to rethink where it all started going wrong between him and his daughter. There were many times when he pissed her off, but probably, the worst of them all was when he told her he’d find her a partner he deemed worthy after getting the guy she was dating beaten by his bodyguards.“Even after all these years, she still kept all those things in her heart?” he squeezed his forehead with his fists.Meanwhile, Elo

After the call with Kasim, Kyra looked frustrated. She had bought thousands of properties around the world, so if the prices of these sites were to drop, she’d be losing in billions. The only way out of this that she could think of was to wait for some years and sell the properties when their demand rises, but that would beat the whole purpose of Kyra’s routine of buying and selling things quickly and making decent profits out of them. Now, she started feeling like a pelican that had caught something in its mouth that it couldn’t swallow or spit out.Kyra had come out of the Lynn estate, and she didn’t want to rely on her mother or father anymore, but if her real estate business were to bring losses, not only would she lose her fame, she would also be forced to rely on her parents’ money, which she hadn’t done in almost ten years.“There’s only two families that are capable of something like this. It’s either the Conreid family, or the Blake family,” she clenched her teeth. “I made su
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 310
Russell woke up in the evening to the bad news that James went missing. It was Kyra who told him. She had received a call from Viola because Russell’s mobile was switched off.Kyra ordered William to find James, but that didn’t stop Russell from looking for his brother.He went to Amelie’s house first. Arnold was already quarreling with her parents outside their home. It was very ugly to watch. Russell didn’t intervene and just left. He went to Roddick’s villa, but nobody was present there, and the guard told him that Roddick had left the city about fifty days ago and hadn't returned yet.If neither Roddick nor Amelie were responsible, then Russell believed that James might have left on his own.“What the hell is he thinking? Even after months passed, he’s not able to forget her?” Russell could only shake his head. For some reason, James’ actions made him remember Jessica’s words that she would never be able to marry another man because her heart was full of love for Russell. It made

“Hello,” Russell quickly answered the call. “Did you find anything about James?”“No,” Kyra’s voice was bland, “what about you?”“I’m still looking.”“Okay, by the way, arrange a board meeting for the gas company tonight. We’ll need to tighten the screws so that nobody would surprise us,” Kyra told him.“T-Tonight? What’s the hurry?”“Just do it.” She said and hung up.“What the…” Russell put the mobile down. “We don’t even know where James is, and she wants to hold a board meeting now?”Roddick’s words came to his mind.“What timing, man. If I call for a meeting, I won’t be able to look for James. If I look for James and don't find him in an hour, I won’t be able to attend the meeting. Both options are not good. There shouldn’t be a problem if I call for a meeting tomorrow. James is more important now.”Later that night.Kyra went to the headquarters of Russell Gas in her Alpha Wolfe car, but the guard outside told her that nobody has come yet.Kyra called Russell’s mobile. “Did you
