The Secret Successor CHAPTER 458
In the evening, Russell was sitting on the rooftop of Gator hotel, staring at the homeless woman walking down the road in the distance.It made him remember the couple of days he spent on the streets, when he gained a completely different perspective on life.It was only for two days that he was on the streets, which were very dangerous to sleep at, but the most important thing he realized was how much harder it would be for a homeless person to get a job.From home address and clean clothes to ID and mobile, without these things it would be near impossible to get a job. During those two days, Russell did not have a home or a mobile, or even an ID that he could use. All he had were his costly suit, but would that alone have been enough for him to get some kind of a job? Probably not.“After all that happened in my life, I still don’t know how to get a proper job,” Russell thought. He never attended interviews before, so he didn’t have that experience, either.Because he had been worki

A couple of minutes earlier.“Why are you heading to my hotel, Dad?” Karensa asked her dad in shock while talking to him on mobile.“It’s not your hotel. It’s ‘our’ hotel. I bought you that so you’ll do something good,” Ross said. “If I see good things during this surprise visit, then I’ll reward you appropriately. Bye bye.” He abruptly ended the call.“Do you wish to eat at the hotel, sir?” the driver asked.“Of course. I like convenience, even though it costs more,” Ross replied.Soon, his Rolls Royce stopped at the hotel. He put his suit on, adjusted his wig, and then stepped out. He had no bodyguards with him except for the driver.“The parking space is clean. Surprising,” Ross uttered, “considering how Karensa likes to throw things around in her room. But what matters more is how the food and accommodation are.”He entered the hotel, and the first thing he saw was an old woman in dirty clothes sitting at a table. “What the… who allowed that woman inside?”“Let me deal with her, s

“Ross Raer…” Russell pressed his knuckles against the door, putting his body weight behind it, “you may love and care for your daughter more than the world, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re just an arrogant piece of shit.”Russell’s brain was stressed as he looked for a way to bring his mother out of the hotel without making her feel hurt, and without Ross coming in their way.He didn’t get any good ideas, but because Ross gave him only ten minutes, he had to enter the room quickly.Elora was comfortably sleeping on the bed, reading a magazine. “Russell, there’s an article about you in this magazine. Look.”“About me?” Russell was very surprised. He quickly took the magazine and saw the content. “Mom, this was released when I became the chairman of Russell Gas company. This is almost three months old.”“But still, it’s so wonderful, seeing you in a popular magazine,” Elora said. “And you look dashing in a blue suit. My favorite color is dark blue, too.”Russell put the mag

Ross was standing at the entrance and was looking in the direction of the old car, inside which Elora was sitting right now. After divorce, Ross never felt like marrying someone, but he suddenly felt the desire to do so after seeing Elora. He was so focused on her, he didn’t notice Russell approaching him from behind. Russell snapped his fingers once. Ross didn’t notice. Russell patted Ross’ shoulder. “Hey.” “Mm?” Ross turned around. Seeing Russell carrying two bags, he smiled. “You’re leaving. Good for you. My driver didn’t bring your advance money, yet, so…” he took out a check book from his suit pocket. “Tell me, how much do you want? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?” “I don’t need your money,” Russell blurted. Ross smiled and then wrote a check for 25,000 dollars and tried to give it to him. “I said I don’t want it,” Russell pushed it back and was walking past him, but he briefly stopped and said, “but there is one thing I want from you, though.” “Oh, what is it?” Ross asked,

Kyra did not want to spend much time at the wedding party after her skirmish with Karensa Raer. She greeted the newly wed couple, apologized to them for the disturbance she caused, gave them three separate gifts, a Rolex watch for the groom, and a diamond necklace for the bride. The third one was the car keys of an Aston Martin Valhalla.The bride could not believe it.The groom said, “Isn’t this too costly to be given as a gift?”“Beatrix was my roommate in college for the first year,” Kyra told him. “I didn’t stay in the hostel most of the time, but when I did stay, she gave me good company. She’s a bit selfish when it comes to studying, but I totally understand that. You need to have that selfishness to succeed when the competition is so high. Once I got good grades in the first semester, she opened up to me in the second semester. We spent a good amount of time together in the library that semester. She’s part of the reason why I was able to top the grades in the first year, so th

“This is one fine car,” Tristan complimented while fingering his ear and then smelling his own finger. “I would have loved it more if only it wasn’t electric.”“I can get this modified for you if you want,” Kyra replied, still being mind-controlled by him.“Oh, that’s really sweet of you, but no thanks,” Tristan said. “I’ll keep it as it is, since the world is moving toward electric vehicles anyway, even though it’s all highly inefficient and unsafe compared to the gas vehicles.”“What makes you say that?” Kyra asked back. At this point, it wasn’t her talking but Tristan making her talk.“Electricity prices will only go up. The more people buy these vehicles, the more electricity will be used. You’ll need to stay a long time to get your vehicle charged, and on top of that the radiation inside your vehicle will constantly cook your organs and slowly make you sick and kill you,” Tristan laughed. “Only clueless idiots like you who blindly trust the trend and have too much money to spend

“Sneaking a kiss in public… This kid has gotten cheeky and childish.” Elora picked a seat that was close to where the workers were making pizzas. They were working so fast, she found it difficult to put things together. “I’m a good food critic, but not that good at cooking. He knows that, but… he still wants to eat what I cooked when I want him to eat something better and tasty.” She looked at her hands. “I haven’t cooked at all in years, but cooking for my son after all these years isn’t a bad idea, either. He’s going to end up with some woman sooner or later, so I should cook for him while I can. Mm.”She focused really hard on observing the workers this time, but she wasn’t getting far. “The pizza stones they’re using to bake the pizza look different from the commercial ovens I’ve seen. I must find out what ingredients they make the sauce with. Is there anything special they add to the dough? Like some secret oil or something? Well, let’s first order one pizza and taste it. This sh

“Bring the guy that made this shitty veg pizza!” “Tristan’s voice was loud and powerful enough to make the plates and glasses on the other tables move, and it sent shivers down the people’s spines. “I’ll eat him instead!” He smashed the table with both hands.“An earthquake?” All the people in the shop immediately began to run out of the building. None of them even thought that it was Tristan’s doing.Elora also took the remaining half of the pizza and rushed out.Christopher was initially hesitant, but then he also started running out.“Hold it,” Tristan suddenly covered almost thirty feet and stopped in front of Christopher in a flash and put his hand on his shoulder. “You’re the one who made that pizza, aren’t you?”Christopher’s eyes widened as they met with Tristan’s gaze. He couldn’t lie even if he wanted to. “Yes, that was me,” he obediently answered. “I made that pizza.”“Do you know how to make meat pizza?” Tristan asked.“I do.”“Great. Let’s use your thigh muscles as the ma
