The Secret Successor CHAPTER 435
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

If someone stepped on his toes, Magnus would have made them bleed from their ears just from his scolding. However, right now he could only bear the pain through his screams. After all, he didn’t want to scold Kyra, at least not in front of her dad because Liam had helped Magnus in the past. When a billionaire tried to kill him for talking bad about his products, it was Liam who shielded him and gave him monetary support for his research. This later helped Liam in building quality electric products as well, which led to the steady increase of Lynn Enterprises’ fame and the people’s trust.Kyra apologized to Magnus before leaving the building with her dad.“I’m not sure why you really want to fight the federal government,” Kyra opened up her mind. “They are the guys that print money, Dad. They have power over every nation. They are too big for us to fight them by ourselves. Otherwise, why would the Heller family or the Conreid family not back us?”Liam smiled. “Do you hate that I raised

Russell was sleeping, but then a somewhat familiar voice made him open his eyes. To his surprise, Tyler the Collection king was talking with his mother.“Please come and stay at our house, ma’am. Both of you,” Tyler respectfully spoke. “This is my wife’s wish. She wants to give our daughter to your son in marriage. He can slowly take over my businesses.”“And you expect me to believe that you’re okay with it?” Elora asked. “I’ve heard about you from many months already, Mr. Tyler. And while I admire how you take care of your wife and daughter, you also stoop to any level if it profits you. I cannot send my son over to such a family. It’s important to earn food, but it’s even more important to live with honor. I don’t think my son can live an honorable life in your house, under your care.”Tyler frowned initially but then forced out a smile. “I’m not as bad as you think, ma’am. While I’m ruthless to those who take money from me and don’t pay back in time, I take care of my friends who

Regan and Charlotte met in the Creed Tech company building. There were also other shareholders and board of directors that were there in the hall, but most of them were listening to these two talk.“If you take away the interest factor, you’re also taking away the most profitable stream of income for my bank,” Charlotte said. “How the eff do you expect me to proceed with this sudden change that robs me of my profits? This isn’t fair. I’m never going to accept it.”“I pretty much knew you’d say that, so I prepared something that’s almost as profitable as your interest scam, ahem, I mean, interest scheme,” Regan said.“Krgh, what is it?” Charlotte reluctantly asked.“Just like interest, we’ll go for a multidimensional scheme,” Regan said. “Taxes.”Charlotte raised her brow. “And how are you going to do that? By putting taxes on the gaming gear and so on? That wouldn’t be anywhere near enough.”“We’ll put tax on every transaction,” Regan kept his composure. “When a player deposits a hund

When Russell asked Karensa to bring her the menu card, he didn’t sound arrogant or angry. He was talking in a way that highlighted his masculinity while his body language showed relaxed confidence. There was no rush in his words, and only a display of confidence that was suggesting to her what was the right thing to do. Women were hardwired to find some qualities attractive in men, whether they themselves knew about it or not. For a second, Karensa also felt like she was standing in front of a protagonist from a James Bond movie, her favorite series, from the way Russell confronted her now.Many guys had tried to clear the complex entrance examinations of her heart, and almost everyone failed to properly hold her attention, but this guy was now giving a bit of a shake to the fort of her heart just by standing before her.“Hello?” Russell asked her again. “Are you hearing me? I asked for a menu card.”Karensa came up with many scenarios in her mind, which included him getting beaten by
