VKBoyThank you Oyewale Gabriel for your gem support lately. I read your comment on a recent chapter regarding who Russell will end up with, Kyra or Jessica? It's going to be revealed through a major plot twist in this novel later on. But if you don't want to be spoiled, then don't read my other novel 'System: Million dollars starting from today' because Russell will be there in that novel as well, and that story will be taking place almost five years in the future. By the way, the protagonist of that novel is also named Gabriel aka Gabe. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you and other readers so that those who don't want to be spoiled will keep themselves away from that book for now. We've completed almost 80% of this novel, so the end is not that far for those who want to wait..

The Secret Successor CHAPTER 424
After Natasha left, Jessica and Russell quarreled for a little longer. It was Jessica who ran out of energy first and ended up sitting down on the road.Russell also sat up and realized that Natasha had left. “Good thing she left without causing any trouble, but I’m sure she’s going to plot something. You should be careful. She’s going to come after you now.”“Hmph, you think I’m afraid of her?” Jessica pumped her fists together. “I’ve never physically fought men other than my brother, but I’m very experienced when it comes to fighting women. If at all she ends up charging at me, I’ll tell you… I’m going to utterly crush her pretty nose with my fists so that she’ll never be able to look at herself in the mirror ever again.”Russell was a little surprised by how cruel Jessica sounded just now. He remembered that she would fight with some girls back in school when they tried to pick on her. She was the type who was outspoken in general, even though she mostly minded her business. Russel

Natasha went home that night after her encounter with Russell and Jessica. Her sister and parents were all in a celebration mode because it was going to be her mother’s birthday soon.Natasha ordered two dozen pizzas and other meals. When the pizza-delivery guy came, Natasha saw his face and immediately liked him.“Can I have your number?” Natasha asked.“I’m married,” replied the pizza-delivery guy who happened to be Benjamin, wearing a hat.“Married, huh,” Natasha felt like she lost a potential husband straight away. After all, it was rare for her to like a man from seeing him at first sight. “Too bad for you.” But then she noticed that he didn’t have any ring on his finger, so she thought he was lying without realizing that he was the one who made those pizzas so he had to take the ring out during work as it was the rule. She grabbed the eight pizza boxes and went in without paying any tip.Benjamin turned around and was leaving.“Oh, wait, I forgot to tip you. Just wait a second,”

Nathan still had a bandage on his nose because of the injury he got from his fight with Gabe.Nevertheless, he fearlessly jumped into action to not only save Teresa’s beloved grandson but also beat the living crap out of the pizza-delivery guy and get his image improved in the sight of Jennifer and Arnold as well as their children. This was a great opportunity for him to impress everyone. He had been waiting for something like this the past few days, and he finally got it.He wanted to use this opportunity to the fullest extent possible, so he lunged forth, spun in the air, and crafted a perfect flying thrust kick, or so he thought.Benjamin simply stepped to the side, and Nathan ended up falling on the bike. The motorbike’s handle hit his crotch and completely took the energy and all the motivation out of him.Benjamin let go of James. “You are mistaken, ma’am. I wasn’t hurting your grandson. You can ask him if you want.”“He was about to hit me, Grandma,” James quickly said. “If you

In the thick of the night, Benjamin just arrived at another delivery point, a duplex home where a young lady opened the door wearing two-piece clothing. “Want to eat pizza together with me?” she asked. “No thanks. I’ve got more orders to deliver,” Benjamin said, looking away, but he put his hand forward so that she would take the pizza box. “Why are you acting like you’re innocent and pure?” she snorted. “Or are you looking away because I’m ugly?” Benjamin didn’t reply. “My parents aren’t home. I’m alone,” she added. “Will you come back after your orders are finished? I’ll let you do whatever you want to me.” Since he was a good-looking guy, she was more than willing to say such words to tempt him. “If you’re not going to take the order, I’ll leave,” Benjamin said. “Hmph,” she grabbed the box and then also his wrist to pull him in, but he proved too strong for her. With a flick of his wrist, he freed himself from her and began to walk away. “Don’t you want a tip? I’ll give you

Benjamin returned to Rye’s Pizzas. Roddick and his friends were enjoying themselves there, drinking and having fun. Benjamin didn’t like that. He went to Christopher the obese manager and asked him, “Why are you letting them ruin the whole place, Boss?” “They are all rich kids,” Christopher said. “Some of them are sons and daughters of billionaires. We don’t want to mess with them, or they are capable of buying this company and then firing both you and me. Anyway, I’ve got both good and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?” “Is the chicken first or the egg first?” Benjamin asked. “Huh? Why are you asking me that?” “It’s the chicken first, because God created the chicken first, and then the chicken created the egg, so I’ll be hearing the good news first.” “The good news is that one of the customers called and left a long review, praising you for your efforts,” Christopher said. “They even donated some money for you, though it’s only 100 dollars.” He lied because

Reynolds was terrified and screamed like a girl after his blood sprayed out of the foot and hit the ankle. He thought he was going to die from blood loss because he had never seen so much blood come out of anybody.“Why do you look so shocked?” Benjamin calmly uttered. “Heart pumps blood faster when your adrenaline is rushing. So, this sort of leakage is not uncommon, but you won’t die from it, so you should control your facial expression because you look really stupid now.”Reynolds was still in too much shock and pain to be comforted by Benjamin’s words. Jordan was also in a similar situation.Karensa still could not move. Nobody watching except Roddick could move.“How dare you hurt my friends,” Roddick folded his sleeves. “You’re going to pay for it dearly now.”“If you really care for your friends, you would prioritize taking them to the hospital,” Benjamin responded. “You can deal with me later, whenever you want.”For some reason, Benjamin’s words made sense to Roddick, even th

The time for Jessica to get back to work has come. She actually wanted to stay at Tom’s house and be with Russell, but after hearing that Tom was planning to leave the house soon, she had to change her mind.After saying goodbyes, Russell dropped Jessica at Tuna Waves because her boss was at this restaurant. However, Russell didn’t step out of the car.“Aren’t you going to come inside?” she asked.“Well…” Russell scratched his chin. He used to be the owner of this restaurant a week or so ago, so he thought it would be awkward to enter this place now while all the workers there would probably recognize him, including Irene who was still working as the manager here.“I stayed at your teacher’s place for two days,” Jessica blurted. “Let me treat you to at least one meal.”“Um, sure,” he couldn’t refuse her request because he had no idea if they both were ever going to eat at the same table again or not.He entered the building with Jessica. The guards and the receptionist were both happy
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 431
Irene heard that her friends had come to the restaurant and made her way over to them and greeted them.Jessica was quick to ask, “Why are all the prices of the dishes so damn high?”“Haha, this is a five-star hotel, Jess. What else did you expect?” Irene chortled. “The thing is… I will pay for both of you. Consider this as my treat!”“Y-You will?” Jessica was surprised.“Yeah,” Irene confidently said. “You two are responsible for me getting this job, and I haven’t given you a party yet, so I’ll be paying for this meal. Just leave it to me.”“Are you sure?” Russell asked her.“Huh, of course I’m sure,” Irene didn’t think twice.“But your dad might be angry if you pay for our meals,” Jessica stated.“He can cry if he wants,” Irene snorted. “I’m a capable manager, but I’m also a strong, independent woman now. I’m not going to stop my dad from making me spend a bit of money on my friends!”Just then, the waiter arrived with the receipt.“Eh? The bill is already paid?” Irene quickly snatc
