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

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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 434
Under the mansion Teresa and her family were living in, there was an underground facility.Nathan entered that using a black card as the key. He was sweating a bit because it was eerily silent inside. Nathan walked past many prison cells, where mutated humans were being kept. Most of them had lost their sense of reasoning, and they were put in a dormant state.Nathan went to a particular cell, which was not locked. All of its walls were painted with blood. Sitting in the center of it was a man with long hair-locks and glowing red eyes. There were corpses of young, beautiful girls lying all around him.“Hey, mosquito-fucker,” Nathan said, “Teresa Ma’am has a new mission for you.”Mosquito Fucker was a name Teresa had given to this vampire because he resembled a mosquito to her, and he was also capable of controlling mosquitoes, thanks to being a mutated vampire himself. However, his real name was Tristan Roberts, and he was from a family of nobles. His ancestors used to own lots of wea

Russell thanked Tom as he was leaving with his mom. “I’ll forever remember your kindness, Teacher. If you need anything, just don’t forget that I’m there.” He had given both his number and his mother’s number. On top of that, Tom also had Nora and Jessica’s numbers, so he believed that if Tom ever got in trouble, he’d contact him. “Be careful with your son.”Tom smiled. “I’m going to leave this house once Max recovers his strength.” Tom would have left the house that day itself if Max was in good health. Because Tom was planning to roam around with Max, it would be inevitable for Max to fight some street dogs along the way, so going out when Max still hadn’t fully recovered from the gunshot wound would be nothing less than a suicide mission. “I’ll put a board at the door, telling my son goodbye and for him to have this house. I’ll prepare documents and a will, so I doubt he’ll still come after me.”Russell’s mouth turned down a little. Was there really a reason for Tom who was nearing

The Red Ice hotel was known for its good reviews and decent price range for its lodgings, around 120 dollars per night, so Russell had come to this hotel so he and his mother could stay here for a while before they decided on whether to buy a house or how to proceed forward.However, they did not expect the parking lot supervisor to run his mouth and badmouth a car which Russell had spent a lot of money to get repaired. While the car looked old because it was old, it definitely didn’t deserve to be treated like trash.“If a worker is this arrogant, then his superiors must have their heads in the clouds,” Elora opined. “Why don’t we find a better restaurant instead of wasting our energy on these guys?”“Are you sure?” Russell asked her again.“Any hotel that accepts our car is a better place to stay at,” Elora said, “of course, assuming they are maintaining minimum standards of cleanliness.”“Fine,” Russell reversed the car and put his left hand out and gave a thumbs down symbol to the

“Is that the guy?” the professional boxer, Gunner, was watching through binoculars while sitting in the car. “Other than the face, he doesn’t look like much.”“Well, my stupid friends thought the same,” Karensa blurted angrily. “Now, they’re in the hospital with broken limbs. I hope you won’t disappoint me like them.”“You can count on me, Karen,” he said, making her glare at him, “I mean, Karensa.”“I wouldn’t have let a loser like you sit in my car if not for my friends being scared of fighting that man,” Karensa growled madly. “If you call me by anything other than my name, I swear, you’ll lose your tongue.”Gunner’s expression hardened. (This innate slut… if only I didn’t need her uncle’s sponsorship, I wouldn’t be doing this bullshit.) “You called me a loser, didn’t you? I know why you said that. My two-year-old wife stole millions of dollars from me, even though I wrote a prenup with her. She told the lawyers that I coerced her into signing the document, and that filthy, charact

Liam and Kyra had been talking with the lawyers and some scientists in the law firm for hours.One of the scientists installed a defense software system on both of their mobiles and told Kyra, “These days, one of the main ways that the government or the companies target the citizens is through mobiles by stealing your data 24/7. In fact the government selectively kills its enemies among the public through cell phones. They can make your heart stop, brain malfunction, or affect any particular organ in your body, or even manipulate your mood. But with the software I installed, it’ll automatically stop the mobile from emitting harmful frequencies and radiation. Nevertheless, I highly suggest that you keep your mobiles switched off and only turn them on when you need them. Never put them in your pocket, and certainly don’t sleep with them. If you want an alarm, then use one analog clock. Unless you specifically need it, you should keep it switched off.”“Keeping my mobile switched off mos
