The Secret Successor CHAPTER 328
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 329
Many things changed overnight. Some were born into this world, whereas some booked their spots in the graveyard. Some lives took abrupt turns unforeseen by any astrologer out there.In the same way, Denver had once again experienced that scary truth that it would only take one wrong move for the king to become a beggar. He thought he would be safe if he were to take the side of Ivan and that he could keep his father and himself not the target of the Heller family, but that same Heller family threatened him and took his shares away and also the house that he bought just yesterday.This whole event brought Denver and his dad Matthew to the streets. Denver wasn’t that sad for himself because he believed that he deserved it, but what did his father do? He didn’t want to see his father in such a pathetic situation where he seemingly lost all interest in life. Matthew’s heart and face seemed to have turned into a stone, and he neither smiled nor cried.Denver could only get angry at his mot

At the dining table, Russell explained everything that happened, excluding the detail that Stacy had sent assassins over to get him killed, probably because he thought it might make Kyra think of him as a killer.Kyra’s jaw stayed low until he finished talking. “Y-You’re kidding, right? You made Stacy give up her 46 acres of land that’s close to the river?”“The related documents are also in this file,” Russell pushed the file toward her. “I want to transfer the rights of that land to your name, too.”“Y-You what?” Kyra opened the file and checked all the documents, and Russell really arranged everything as he said. “This…” she didn’t know what to say. While she didn’t want Russell Gas company back because she had given it to Russell as a gift, she definitely felt greatly tempted to take Stacy’s land not just for the value it held but for the power it would give her over Stacy and many others. Owning that land would help her make a lot of new deals or close the unfinished deals. No ma

Russell and Kyra have come out on a date. This was the first time just the two of them were eating together at a restaurant in this city.Kyra had chosen Ducksbelly restaurant, which was the busiest restaurant during afternoons where business people would often make reservations days prior. Kyra booked the whole restaurant for the evening.Surrounded by beautiful candle lights, Russell and Kyra peacefully enjoyed dinner under the moon visible through the glass ceiling. This was romantic in its own way.“You look more handsome after a clean shave,” Kyra complimented him. She was wearing a dazzling pink gown that oozed elegance. The antique gold border was personalized to fit her taste. It cost her 8000 dollars just to get this dress customized.Russell slightly smiled. “You look great, too.” For some reason, he then remembered Jessica’s words who told him the exact opposite: You look more handsome now that you’ve grown a beard.Personally, he didn’t care if he had a beard or not, but d

When Kyra and Russell arrived at the Heller mansion, they weren’t expecting to see so much lighting and decorations. It was much grander compared to Nora’s birthday party that happened a couple of months back.“How can they celebrate like this when Roddick’s health is not good?” Russell wondered.“It is exactly because of that reason they have to show off like this,” Kyra responded.“To fool the others into thinking that everything is alright, huh.”“Yep.” Kyra made sure to grab the gift package before exiting the car. Russell and Kyra together walked toward the main door. A black doberman saw Kyra and came rushing at her. Its gait warned Russell that something wasn’t right. He immediately shifted and stood in front of Kyra; the dog stopped at the last second and growled at him.“Get lost,” Russell waved his hand and pointed into the distance. The doberman ran away, still barking aggressively.“W-What’s wrong with it?” Kyra’s heartbeat rang in her ears. “Did it go crazy?”“No,” Russel
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 333
Amelie was the last person that Russell expected to see in this birthday party. He didn’t know what to think, much less react.“Hello, Mr. Russell Lynn,” she greeted him. “It’s so nice to see you again.” She put her hand forth for a handshake.Russell shook his head and walked past her. She forced out a smile and then briefly glanced at Roddick and gave him the thumbs-up signal, saying that she had finished the task given to him.Russell, on the other hand, looked like he had stepped on dog poop. His mood was completely spoiled after seeing Amelie because she had tried chatting with him. She asked him to come to her home and even sent obscene pictures of her to tempt him. Russell sent William to warn her. After that, she stopped bothering Russell.“She’s so young, yet she’s so manipulative. It’s hard to believe that she’s younger than Viola, and yet she schemes like Natasha,” he thought. “I hope she doesn’t cause any trouble. As long as I avoid her, it should be fine.”“Russell Lynn…”

Kyra went straight to Arnold and gestured with her finger to follow him. And he did. She led him to a corner and straightforwardly. “Did Russell love anybody before marriage?”“Uh, you know about Natasha, don’t you?” Arnold hesitantly answered.“Yeah. Is there anyone else other than her?” Kyra’s gaze was like needles of fire and ice combined. “Your mother-in-law has talked to me as if Russell had some kind of deep love with someone before marriage. Is there anyone else besides Natasha?”Arnold shook his head. “No. None.”Kyra kept staring at him without blinking. “You better not be lying about this because I’m going to dig about his past. Since I’m from the same school, it will be very easy for me to do so.”“With all due respect, my daughter-in-law, do you really think your dad and mom would have let Russell put a ring on your finger without completely checking his background?” Arnold asked a simple question, but it was very effective because Kyra didn’t say another word and walked a

Charlotte’s eyes sprang out of her sockets after seeing Russell’s picture on the mobile screen.Amelie saw the change in Charlotte’s expression, but she acted like she didn’t. “Again, sorry, ma’am,” she told her and walked away.Charlotte stood rooted to the ground for almost half-minute. And then she secretly took Amelie’s picture and sent it to William’s mobile. She sent the message: Give me her full details. ASAP.Within a minute, Charlotte received a response from William who was actually just outside the building.“That was fast.” She read the messages, only to get surprised a little more, but in a good way this time. “I see. It’s that girl, huh. But what the hell is she doing here? Is there something going on that I don’t know about?” She kept her eyes on Amelie, and Amelie looked at her every now and then. “She’s definitely up to something.” A corner of Charlotte’s mouth curled up a little. “This could actually help me get Kyra to my side much more quickly… if I use this infor
