The Secret Successor CHAPTER 331
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 332
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

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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 336
There were so many visitors to the party that Russell and Kyra couldn’t stay together for long. They had to talk with different guests, after all.Kyra had always been popular, but Russell was also getting a lot of attention lately. Especially, the fact that he dared to attend the party after taking the shares from the Heller family just showed his confidence to the world. Naturally, many people tried to talk to him when the Heller family wasn’t around.One of those people just happened to be Natasha. She came up to Russell when he was about to go to the washroom.“It’s you, Russell?” She acted like she was surprised. “I was wondering who the suave-looking guy might be, but it turned out to be my ex-lover.”Russell hated her shamelessness. “You really think you can get away with anything just because you’re beautiful, don’t you?”“Yeah. Maybe? So what if I’m like that? Were you disappointed?” she snickered. “Were you expecting me to have a change of heart and beg you for forgiveness?

“Russell, you are a million times worse than Amelie and Natasha put together!” James growled those words aloud, so everybody in the hall heard him loud and clear.“James!” Russell raised his voice. “What nonsense are you spouting! Have you drunk too much and lost your mind?”“Wait,” Kyra stopped Russell from stepping forward and then looked at James. “Elaborate.”“Elaborate what? On how my brother has been cheating on you, me, and all of us?” James’ heart ached just thinking about it. Tears sprang to his eyes. He wiped his tears and continued to talk very loudly. “How could you do this?”“Do what?” Russell shouted. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Stop playing dumb!” James shouted. “I just saw your picture on Amelie’s mobile! It seems you two are really enjoying being together after she dumped me. And I thought you really cared for me. Now, it makes me wonder why you came looking for me on the mountain? Was it because you felt a little bit of guilt and so came to find me to mak
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 338
A pin drop silence filled the hall. Almost everybody except those working for Roddick were unable to believe what they were seeing, probably because they just talked about how great of a couple Russell and Kyra were turning out to be.Among those watching with absolute shock, Arnold and Viola were also there. And they couldn’t even process what was happening half as fast as others did.As for Russell, he also went speechless because he felt like he was framed, but more importantly, he could see that Kyra was hurt by what was written on the paper.“K-Kyra, I didn’t know that paper was in my pocket. I swear.”Kyra bared her teeth at Russell and waved the paper in her hand. “You’re still trying to fool me after this?” her eyes turned wet, and she held herself back from blinking, much less shedding tears. “Do I look that fcuking foolish to you?” she tossed the paper in his face.Russell glared at Amelie. “Who put you up to this? Is it Roddick? Or is it Natasha? Or is Stacy Heller?”“Whoa,
