The Secret Successor CHAPTER 321
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

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

Russell’s first demand jerked one of Stacy's eyebrows.“It’s very pleasing to see a beautiful woman like you getting angry,” Russell teased Stacy on purpose. “Anyway, my second demand is… you should write on a document that you’re never going to bother me or Kyra in any way or form for the rest of your life, and in return, I and Kyra will take your son’s secret to our graves. Of course, I will also write that in the document as you deem fit. Whoever breaks the rule first will have to pay the other party half of their net worth.”“WHAT?” Ivan raised his voice. “What sort of a joke is this? You and your wife own a few billion dollars, but my madam owns thousands of billions. She’s a trillionaire. You can’t ask for even a hundredth of her wealth!”“Did I say I was requesting?” Russell asked. “No. I’m demanding, guys.” He unlocked his mobile and showed them the surveillance footage of the assassins attacking him, and he also showed the voice recording of him and Stacy talking over the pho

Stacy felt like snakes and centipedes crawled on her skin every time Russell called her aunty.Kyra was the only person who called her Aunt, but Kyra was a woman, so Stacy never felt bad. However, no man ever addressed her this way, so her ego took a big slap whenever he casually called her Aunty.“You’re right, Russell,” Stacy forced herself to smile. “I can always buy land at some other place, but I can’t restore my son’s image once it goes down the drain.” Roddick was her only child, and she didn’t want him to be mocked by the whole world, as it would not just affect Roddick but also the Heller family as a whole.“Does that mean you agree with this deal?” Russell asked.Stacy put her hand forward. He shook her hand, but to his surprise, she didn’t let go of him. Her grip was rather firm.“We all have one life, so don’t let it slip away from your hand, Russell,” Stacy advised. “Everybody experiences hardships, but only those who walk past their tears and continually seek success wil
