The Secret Successor CHAPTER 426
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 427
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 Secret Successor CHAPTER 430
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

A few seconds earlier.“I know you probably didn’t take any money from the Lynn family, even after how they left you on the street,” Jessica told Russell. “But I thought, maybe, her mother tried to give you some money so that you wouldn’t bother her daughter again.”“Well, they had me write a prenup, which was a pretty extensive one,” Russell said.“Ah, I should have guessed. I’m sure they used their lawyers to write an ironclad prenup agreement. These rich people can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on their cars, but they don’t like giving a penny to the poor,” Jessica hissed. “Anyway, I feel better after knowing you didn’t get the money from the Lynn family. You don’t have to tell me where you got the money from, so chill.” Even though she said that, Russell could see that she wanted to know.“I didn’t get it through any illegal means, so you should also chill.”“Haha, I’m chill,” she laughed.Just then, Rgan’s voice echoed in the hall, making Jessica’s heart jump into her th
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 433
Jessica was super-busy, dealing with the files that were on her desk and also on the floor. There were over 300 files that she needed to look at, and more files were being brought once every few minutes. “I thought someone else would have filled my position temporarily. This is going to take me a few days to finish,” Jessica was already feeling wrist pain from turning the pages so much. Just then, Marlon entered the room with a smile on his face. He stood a few feet away by her desk, leaning into the wall with his arms crossed. “I heard you got injured. Are you feeling okay now?” “Yes, Mr. Marlon,” Jessica briefly looked at him and then went back to focusing on the work. “I also heard… you didn’t even take your salary yet,” Marlon pointed out. “Hasn’t it been well over a month since you joined this place? Why didn’t you take your salary then?” “It’s not that I didn’t take any. Mr. Regan wanted to pay me in advance, but I only took a little bit of money and wanted to keep the rest
