The Secret Successor CHAPTER 319
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 320
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 322
The children of the Bennett family were having a chat on the small balcony, sitting on the bed, consuming fast food and soft drinks.Viola made sure to keep on giving food and drinks to James, and he didn’t shy away from eating and drinking as much as his stomach could take.And they were talking about the two women that had made a lot of negative impact on their lives.“I thought women like Natasha were rare,” James was hissing instead of crying. “And that our Brother Russell got unlucky. But who would have thought I’d also fall for a lying piece of garbage.”“They both are liars, but they’re different,” Viola said.“Yeah, you’re right. Natasha isn’t a whore like Amelie,” James bickered in sadness. “My taste is much worse than Brother Russell’s. I had a crush on a woman who belonged to the streets. I couldn’t see through her facade.”“She doesn’t just belong to the streets. She is the street,” Viola remarked. “That woman is much crazier than you think. I’ve been learning about her fr
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 323
Russell came to the new mansion bought and renovated by Kyra entirely, but she wasn’t home. William also wasn’t there, but the old maid with gray hair received him.Recognizing him, she introduced herself, “I’m Connie Fiddlenut.” She was tall, chubby, and seemed almost sixty years old. “It’s nice to meet you, Master Russell.”This was Russell’s first time being called a master, so he rubbed the back of his head and smiled at her. “Uh, where’s Kyra?”“Lady Kyra left a few hours ago. She didn’t tell me when she’d return,” Connie respectfully spoke while glancing at Frizz in between sentences. “If you want me to prepare the bath or anything else done, I’ll do it.”“Can you arrange a sweet little home for this guy?” He handed the golden retriever puppy and a dog-bone-chew toy to Connie.“I have experience with raising dogs, so I’m going to take very good care of this fellow,” she began to massage the puppy’s ears with her fingers. “Does this one have a name? Oh, wait, is it Frizz?” She sa
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 324
After Connie left, Russell didn’t enter the house but sat at the foyer and thought about how to get the upper hand over Stacy.At around eleven o’clock in the night, Russell received a phone call. It was from Liam.Russell hadn't spoken with him in over three weeks, so he answered quickly.“Hello, sir. How are you doing?” Russell asked with a smile.“Your voice sounds lively. Can I take it as a good sign that things are going smoothly between you and my daughter?” Liam asked.“To be honest, she’s mad at me because I messed up with the gas company,” Russell explained what had happened.“You’re still very new when it comes to running the company, so you couldn’t have guessed that Stacy would pull such a move,” Liam tried to comfort him. “Then again, Kyra is justifiably angry with you since you let your enemy get the upper hand over you both. Kyra is a bit like her mother in this regard, but she is nowhere near as manipulative as Charlotte, so don’t let distance increase between you two
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 325
Russell waited anxiously as the clock kept ticking.An hour had passed since he talked with Stacy and told her to come to his home with the documents and all, but there were no signs of them.Russell was getting sleepy, so he started walking to and fro in the garden so he wouldn’t fall asleep.At around 12:25 AM, the breeze was just starting to blow, making Russell feel good, but then he suddenly heard faint noises. He immediately looked toward the border wall, where two masked men had just jumped over the walls.Seeing Russell outside, they immediately took their guns out and shot at him.Russell’s body reacted on its own, and he ran over to the Alpha Wolfe car, which was able to repel the bullets without even taking a scratch.Russell’s heart was racing as the two assassins carefully approached him from either side of the car. He could hear their footsteps. He wanted to get under the car, but there wasn’t enough space for a human to freely fit under the luxury sports car. Under extr

William had taken care of the dead bodies of the two assassins, not by himself but by calling what he referred to as ‘Twin Cleaners.’These Twin Cleaners were part of a very big organization whose name that even William didn’t know of.But William made sure to tell Russell to not look them in the eye for long.The Twin Cleaners came wearing traditional outfits of detectives with the hat, the long suit, and the hard boots. One of them threw the bodies in their van, whereas the other poured some kind of a detergent on the ground, and it naturally sucked all the blood and evaporated on its own.Russell’s jaw dropped because he had never seen something like this before. Moreover, the pavement looked completely clean. Not a single drop of blood could be seen on the floor anymore. Russell couldn’t believe his eyes, even though he had seen some crazy things while training in the Agnar clan.Russell asked them if William paid them or not. They made a ‘thumbs up’ gesture before leaving.“They
