The Secret Successor CHAPTER 314
At around five in the morning, Russell and James came down the mountain. They stopped at a small coffee stall. The shop owner saw Russell and gave him his jacket because he happened to have one as the temperatures during the night and early morning got pretty low near the mountain.Simple coffee wasn’t enough for James; he ate biscuits also.Russell drank hot almond milk, and it calmed his nerves. While James was busy eating, Russell started reading a newspaper because the headlines were about the Lynn family.“192 food production companies associated with the Lynn family have been closed in the past five weeks?” He was shocked because the number wasn’t as high when he last heard about it. He quickly read the details, thinking if they were closed because the companies weren’t following the rules properly. However, he couldn’t find any reason in the paper. “More than half of them are meat-producing companies, so they must have been making a lot of money.” He briefly thought about Liam.

Russell spent a good hour at home, a quality time with James, Viola, and Frizz, with Frizz being the little puppy.After buying a new mobile, he then went straight to the farm house, where he expected Kyra to be, but she wasn’t there. He called Kyra, but she didn’t answer his calls. He called William and asked Kyra’s whereabouts.What William said shocked her. “Kyra is in a police station right now. I’m with her, handling the situation. Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you, but I couldn’t.”“Forget about me, but why is Kyra in a police station? Send me the location,” Russell hurriedly got into the car, and William kept the call going so that Russell would be able to hear the ongoing conversation.“Miss, you shouldn’t have hit Mr. Alister,” the Deputy Chief was talking with Kyra. “All I am asking you is to apologize, and then everything will end peacefully. You can then go home.”“Why would I apologize when he totally deserved what he got?” Kyra retorted while sparing an

When Russell came to the farm house, Kyra wasn’t there. He waited, but she didn’t come home. William came and began to pack all of Kyra’s luggage.“What’s going on? Where’s Kyra?” Russell asked him.“She’s at the new house,” William said.“... Did she say anything about me?” he expectantly asked, but William shook his head.“Oh, she asked me for the credit card,” William put his hand forth.“W-What?” Russell was shocked. He couldn’t believe that Kyra asked for the credit card she had given him. Frowning, he gave the card to William and asked. “Did she say anything else?”“Um,” William shook his head and walked away.Even though Russell’s ego was hurt, he still wanted to go to the new house, but she didn’t call him or tell him to come, so how could he just go there and live with her?He waited at the farm house, hoping she’d call him at some point, but he received no calls. The sun went down the horizon, and the moon was circling the sky.Gabe found himself sitting alone and eating the

On the top floor of Tuna Waves hotel.Charlotte was privately meeting with many people from around the world. The likes of Harry Heller, Lucas Blake, Brendon Conreid, Thomas Origins, and many more people were present there. They all waited for Regan to make entrance.“Can’t you do something about the massive debts Liam owes the supreme bank?” Lucas asked Charlotte. He was almost as tall as Brendon and was also as handsome as Harry. Without a doubt, this fifty-year-old man was good-looking enough to make women mind their behavior around him.“If we pressure him, he’s going to declare that he went bankrupt,” Charlotte said.“I know Liam,” Brendon interfered. “His pride wouldn’t let him say such a thing to the public. He will use his own money to pay the Supreme Bank all the debt he owes.”“Well, if his mother wasn’t alive, then maybe what you said might happen,” Charlotte opined, “but, trust me, as long as Nora Lynn is there, she won’t let Liam make such a silly mistake.”“Nora Lynn? Th

Just as Kyra was about to leave in her car to meet Liam, William arrived. He took bags out of his car.Kyra recognized the luggage. “Why did you bring those bags here?”“Young Master Russell told me to do so, Young Lady.”“Oh…” she thought he packed the luggage as they were going to live in the new home from here onward. However, William came up to her and took out a credit card.“He also wanted me to give this to you,” William said, pursing his lips.Kyra’s face slowly but surely scrunched after realizing that it was the same wedding card that she had given to Russell.She took the card with a clenched jaw. “Does this mean he’s not coming here?”“I don’t know,” William said. “But if you ask me, Young Lady, I don’t think you should talk about the luggage or the credit card. Since he’s showing attitude when he’s in the wrong, then how much attitude should you show?”“I will deal with him after I come back,” saying that she left in her car.Meanwhile, in Tuna Waves hotel.The meeting fi

Russell was driving to his company building, and he received a phone call. To his great surprise, it was from Charlotte.“Why is she calling me?” After hesitating to pick up the call for a few seconds, he answered. “Uh, how are you doing, Mother-in-law?” he asked.“I’m doing great, Russell. You seem to be doing great, too.”“Me? Well…”“I mean, you are doing a great job with Russell Gas,” Charlotte said in a happy voice. “After you lowered the prices, the volume of the customers increased, and the company is making a lot of profits.”“Thank you,” Russell felt like he needed to hear these words after Kyra had accused him of conspiring with Stacy.“I’m proud of you. But I think if you lower your prices some more, your profits will skyrocket,” Charlotte said with care. “So focus on that, okay?”“Yes, I’ll do my best. How are you doing?”“I’m doing great. Wait, someone’s calling me. I’ll call you later,” she said.“No worries,” he ended the call.As he kept driving, he thought about what

Denver was at the center of everybody’s attention. Rosie was glaring at him as she awaited his response. Ivan was coldly looking at him as if he would kill Denver if he didn’t take their side.Russell, on the other hand, was sitting right next to him.Denver truly didn’t know which side he should take. He was forced to buy the shares, even though he didn’t want to do this. Ivan had threatened to send people to his house to humiliate him and his father. He even told Denver he would send men to his mother who had left Denver and his dad. Denver had no other choice but to bend to Ivan’s demands.Even now, Denver was thinking about taking Ivan’s side because he believed that angering Russell wouldn’t have as much backlash as angering Ivan would.“Denver,” Rick felt the need to speak. “You got the job in this company not because of me but because of the person sitting next to you. He was willing to forget everything that happened between you after learning that you were also harassed by yo

William was watching Kyra and Liam talk by the pool for more than thirty minutes. “I haven’t seen them talk for this long before. They must be talking about something more than business. This isn’t good for Lady Charlotte.” He called Charlotte and told her the situation. “They wouldn’t be talking this long unless they’re on the same page. I think you should call her and distract her.”“Is Liam still next to her?” Charlotte asked.“Yeah.”“Alright. I’ll handle this.”Charlotte then called Kyra’s mobile. Kyra showed the mobile to Liam so he would know who’s calling. He told her to answer it, and she answered and also put the phone on speaker.“Kyra darling, where are you?” Charlotte asked in a caring tone.“I’m with Dad,” Kyra didn’t find the need to lie.“Dad?” Charlotte intentionally paused for a second. “You mean… Harry?”“NO, Mom. I’m with Liam,” Kyra replied calmly and with certainty. “He’s my dad.”“... No, he isn’t,” Charlotte also tried to talk calmly. “His blood doesn’t run in
