The Secret Successor CHAPTER 353
The old man, Tom, woke up in the middle of the night because his wife, Rachel, was screaming that thieves were stealing things. However, there were no thieves. Even though Tom repeatedly told her that, she would still cower and even pee in her bed from fear.Rachel had many health issues. Alzheimer’s was one of those. She didn’t remember who Tom was. She didn’t even remember her own name. All she would do for most of the day was look at the garden through the window. And every time she would wake up from her sleep, she would act like a different person.Tom tried everything he could. From modern medicine to eastern medicine, he had tried everything with the money he had, but nothing worked. In fact, things were on decline because she was also aging really fast.There were many that told Tom to euthanize her because he was also growing too old to take care of her. However, he couldn’t agree to such a thing.Now, after calming Rachel down, Tom lost all of his sleepiness, so he came outs
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 354
After Russell left Tom’s house, a few minutes later, both Ivan and Gage came wondering what sort of connection this old man had with Russell for Russell to have waited by his home for an entire night.However, both Ivan and Gage reached the main gate at the same time. And they recognized each other.“You are…” Ivan was more surprised than Gage. (What the hell is this guy doing here? I haven’t seen him in over a year, so I thought he’s working abroad.)Gage, however, quickly figured out what Ivan was up to. “I don’t know what you’re doing here, but you asked for this.”“Asked for what?” Ivan was saying, but Gabe attacked him without warning. Both of them exchanged powerful attacks for more than three minutes and ended up injuring each other. In the end, both of them stopped fighting and walked away in different directions.“I must get my elbow checked,” Gabe thought. “I should also tell Boss about this. It seems like Roddick or his mother is still trying to harm Russell.”“Why did Rega
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 355
The life on the street that night proved to be a tiring one for Russell. He had to fight a dog as well as a couple of strangers who came to him with ill intentions.Russell was no longer wearing a suit, which he had left at Tyler’s house. So, naturally, people were giving him different looks when he was sitting alone out in the street.He didn’t know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next morning, there was a paper bag next to him, with food and drinks inside. He looked around but couldn’t see anyone in particular that might have helped him.Though the thought that the food might be poisoned crossed his mind, he was already quite hungry because he hadn’t eaten in almost 24 hours, so he put his fears and doubts aside and finished his meal. There was still an extra burger left, and he left it with the dog that had attacked him the previous night. The dog happily picked the burger with its mouth and danced as it ran down the footpath.Russell put his hands in his pockets and w

Tyler looked for Russell for hours. He used the people he knew to look everywhere, but he couldn’t find him and returned home.What awaited him at his house gate was a letter hanging to the gate. When he read the content, he was shocked.“Don’t support Russell, unless you want your family to be destroyed. I’m sure you’re smart, so you’ll choose the right thing to do.”These words made Tyler tremble. Even though he was a millionaire, he felt very anxious right now. Who could write a threat to him this way? Only someone who was capable of executing it, he believed.He wanted to look around to see if anybody was watching it, but he didn’t dare to do so. Instead, he went inside, acting like everything was normal.Ivan was watching everything from his car. “Looks like the scare tactic worked. From what I heard about this guy, he’s definitely not going to even look in Russell’s direction from here on. All that’s left for me is to make Russell’s life miserable on the streets.”Meanwhile, at
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 357
“You what?” Charlotte was shocked by her daughter’s response. “I get that a lot has happened recently, but how can you say that you don’t want to marry again and have children?”“I have read a fantasy book recently, and the main characters in it are immortal,” Kyra calmly stated. “They view sex as a very basic thing and don’t let the opposite sex influence their mind. After reading that book, I realized that sex is so overrated in our world.”“Most of the businesses in the world run by that, whether in the open or in secret,” Charlotte bluntly said. “It’s not that people don’t know that too much sex is a bad thing, but it’s just that most people are not strong enough to resist the temptations the modern world provides everywhere. Forget about the rest, but I don’t want you to take such an important decision after reading some random fantasy book! My ‘Supreme Bank’ needs a successor, and all the money you’re going to earn needs someone to look after you grow old and pass away. At least
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 358
Jessica came home extremely tired. She didn’t even have the strength to eat, but if she wanted her headache gone, then she knew that she had to fill her stomach.“That damned Charlotte has given me a lot more work than I’m supposed to do,” she frowned. “I want to go against her word and refuse her requests, but I’m bearing it because my boss told me to.”She knocked on her brother’s door. “Hey, Derek. I brought you dinner.” She put the bag on the floor and went to her room.For the past few months, all Derek had been doing was live in his room. Even Jessica only saw him come out a few times. She had asked him if everything was alright, and he told her he was just playing games. Since he wasn’t consuming drugs, she didn’t bother him too much and left him alone.Jessica hurriedly gorged on the food. She received a call from Irene. “Mm? It’s been a week since she called me. I wonder what she’s up to.” She answered the call. “Hello, Ms. Manager. How are you doing your role at the hotel?”
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 359
Tom and Russell helped each other by being together. Tom helped teach about the secret symbols used in the media to predict the results of not just professional sports but also politics. Russell realized without Tom even specifically telling him just how rigged the people in high places were. This gave him a whole new perspective about the world.On the other hand, Russell helped the college kids clear in any way possible. Russell was not good with his studies, but that was changing now because he was able to understand Tom’s lessons as well as the brightest children in the class. The difference was that he was many years older than them.After the classes finished, Russell bragged with Tom. “If I take exams like IELTS, or TOEFL right now, I think I’ll do really well. My IQ has definitely improved from staying with great people these past few months. Now, staying with you is also making me smarter, at least education-wise.”“Well, I’m glad you think that way,” Tom was a man of few wor

At Tuna Waves.Regan Creed and Michelle Arris were on the rooftop, looking around at the completed mega structures, and the Creed Zone now looked like a futuristic city in itself.“There are many people discussing online that you forcefully grabbed people’s lands,” Michelle said. “I know that real story that you paid most of them more than what their property is worth, but you still get the negative fame for doing it.”“Well, other rich folks buy thousands of acres of land and do nothing with it,” Regan said, smiling, “but I am the exact opposite. I put my everything into this. Whether you do good or bad, no matter what you do in life, there will always be criticism. I’m very much used to bearing with it, so let people talk about what they want. As long as I don’t regret what I’m doing, there’s no need to fear anything or anybody.”“Talking about ‘fear’...” Michelle somewhat hesitantly queried. “Do you remember the earthquake that happened by the lake a few months back?”“Of course.”
